It is close to a beautiful, long sandy beach with surf waves for all levels and spectacular sunsets. The place was nice and the staff was amazing(Thanks Emma). A family and typical breakfast was included. The tours were fun.

beautiful spot where you can unwind. There is a fridge in the tent which is really helpful. I loved everything about this place. It’s a quick 15 mins drive to Tamarindo city center. The beach is very close by.

What an amazing place! This was a fantastic location if you’re looking for a peaceful surf stay. The uncrowded and extremely consistent surf beach is right across the road and the property has an associated all day restaurant (Cafe Mar Azul) with fantastic food and drinks so you don’t have to look any further. As a solo female traveller the quiet gated community also ensured I felt safe throughout my stay, and the people - including the locals and the fantastic staff at both the property and the restaurant - made me feel right at home. The property also has surfboard rental and an amazing surf instructor if you’re looking to progress your surfing. Located within the national park there is also plenty of wildlife around - monkeys, raccoons, birds and skunks. And you can take an estuary tour to see the crocodiles. The property management are also able to assist in arranging transfers to the airport and a range of excursions. Lina was particularly helpful and readily available on-site for any questions and tips.

It's a brand new building, everything was new and clean. Good kitchen facilities. The host Eileen was very friendly and lent us her phone charger for the day. We accidentally left some belongings there and she tried to contact us immediately. She's followed everywhere by her big chilled pet dog. The area is very quiet.

Nice quiet beach town, with just enough to do.

Nice quiet beach town, with just enough to do. Good surf but inconsistant small waves in Palm Beach near our hotel when we were there. Crowded near the main town and surf break 1 mile away where waves are definately bigger. It's a strong beach break, so not great for beginners and quality was not always so consistant. Can be dangerous, no lifeguards.

Playa Grande is gorgeous wide and long sandy beach, very natural. There are spots for beginner and advanced surfers and is suitable also for families with kids. There is only one bar or buffet on the beach, but a beach club and few hotel restaurant are near by.

I stayed at El Reinas in Playa Grande for 5 weeks and loved every minute. I didn't rent a car or golf cart. I walked 15 min. to soda and veggie stand once a week for essentials. I went to Tamarindo via walking south on the beach for 40 minutes and taking water taxi. If you aren't able to walk either rent a car or plan to call taxi. Taxi from PG to Tamarindo is $15usd.

We wanted a quiet place to celebrate our anniversary and Hotel Cantarana was just that! At times, we felt like we were the only ones staying there. We loved that it was so close to an amazing beach that we walked every day for sunrise and again for sunset. At times, we felt we were the only ones. We had the pool all to ourselves. There is a restaurant on site and a couple others close by that are AMAZING! The beach is incredible . . . soft, white sand! Andy, at the front desk, was the best! She greeted us with a warm smile and was so helpful. She helped us to arrange a sunset cruise which was spectacular! We surely will be back!

Playa grande was such a relaxing place.

Playa grande was such a relaxing place. The beach sunsets were amazing! Took an estuary tour with Luis right off the beach - private tour for 2 was only $70 and we saw crocodiles, monkeys and amazing birds. Tamarindo is a fun day trip (taking the water taxi, or asking to be dropped off there after the boat tour). There is a cool food truck court at the end and behind the beach that has an iguana walking about. Tamarindo was nice if you like lots of people and lots of bar and food choices but playa grande was so much more chill of a spot. Loved it and will be back! Cantarana cafe had the best coffee and almond croissants and dinner upstairs was really good. Servers for breakfast and dinner were fabulous! The Tortuga was a great spot - with the most delicious fish bites I’ve ever had! Cafe Mar Azul was so much fun- Sunday night entertainment needs a reservation. Such a good price for amazing fish dinners.

Playa Grande is perfect for running or walking on the beach, however not for swimming, snorkeling or floating. On the other side of Playa Grande (crossing the river) there is Tamarindo, a crazy town full of tourists with its own long beach. If you are looking for a laid back place, Tamarindo is NOT where you want to be. Lots of traffic and tons of people walking in the streets and hanging around. Can't imagine what is like in high season. Stores have beautiful clothes but they are pretty expensive. Definitely a surfing town, everyone walks with a board under their arm...lol.

The staff was great and super accommodating! Yorya helped us organize a turtle tour and a surfing class before we got there. Both activities were top notch, and it was our favorite surfing lesson so far in Costa Rica (ask for Allan). Easy to get to the beach. Room and bed were very comfortable. On site restaurant was a bit pricey (but on par with other places in the area) but had good quality food. We really liked the poke. Our room was upstairs, so nice and quiet. We'd love to come back here during our next trip.

A great location a few steps from the beach, and near to other restaurants. The small pool under the palm trees was a great place to hang out and beat the midday heat. Lots of great lounge spots in the courtyard. Our room was bright and spacious. Although breakfast was not included, the restaurant food was excellent. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and went out of their way to make sure our stay was enjoyable.
