This was the best hostel that I ever stayed in. They had excellent restaurant service, very friendly staff and they are still working to create new spaces to provide to their customers. The place is a clean, hot shower and a very comfortable bed. For remote workers, it's an excellent option. Very close to the beach as well

This quiet boutique hotel was amazing! Perhaps because it was low season, we found it quiet, super clean and had a very restful sleep. The pool was never packed and access to the beach was amazing! Please be very mindful of the beach as it is a surfers dream - meaning the waves are very rough but you can easily play with the waves if you are a fair swimmer. Beach was basically empty. The resturant is overpriced and not worth the money. Strongly recommend in the area Beach Break Cafe, Pots and Bowls, Cafe Mar Azul and Kike's Place for local amazing food.

The pipe house is truely and incredible experience. It’s located 50 meters from the beach, where you can surf, relax and swim everyday. The accomodation is equiped with a full (and one of a kind) gym, a clean kitchen and clean amenities. The included breakfasts are delicious and are a great start to the day!

Couldn’t recommend Villas Kalei more. It’s really well located but also tucked away from any noise, other than birds, monkeys and other nature. The rooms are so well thought out and private but build with and around nature. The couple who run it were so lovely and really helped us with everything we needed. Great value for money and would definitely look to stay with them again

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.

    This is a super nice place with only 4 rooms. It is super charming close to Playa Grande. The staff are super nice, and we had the best breakfast of our whole trip there with birds visiting us as we ate. There is a private walkway to the beach. The room is really nice with a balcony to enjoy the nature. There is a nice coffee machine in the room as well which is a big plus. There is a cafe attached to the place where you can have snacks and a coffee with beautiful views. Highly recommended.

    Very nice location. Much better than the dirty Tamarindo. It is a hidden gem, in a peninsula with nice and close nature. We have even seen monkeys on the way to the beach. Very nice pool and you have a lot of facitlities. The common area is nice for chill. Very good stay.
