Exceptional, situated in a tropical garden in the grounds of a private gated estate.
A short walk to a quiet beach perfect for swimming and surfing.
The in-house cuisine was excellent with fresh seafood and meat with the crunchiest freshest vegetables I’ve ever eaten. 10/10.
Each night they had live music which was a massive bonus. The music wasn’t loud and in your face, more a perfect in harmony with the environment and the guests.
One last thing is the guests, a really interesting eclectic mix of people with a really friendly and interesting outlook.

FAQs about hotels in Playa Grande
What guests said about Playa Grande:

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,...
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.SaadiaPuerto Rico - 10Scored 10
Location, beautiful beach , facilities and great bed !
Location, beautiful beach , facilities and great bed ! Lovely responsive employees! Restaurant next door offered excellent food . Not sure why everything had to be paid in cash eg car rides, trips etc . That was inconvenient. One has to have cash on hand as most business was done that way. However we were told only in “ low” season. The location was small and intimate and easy to access by foot. A car wasn’t always needed.CCeciliaUnited States - 10Scored 10
Beautiful beach line. Great for surfing and boogie boarding.
Beautiful beach line. Great for surfing and boogie boarding. Trees at the beach provide plenty of shade. Long and picturesque shore line is excellent to walk in the morning or at dawn hours. Amazing sunsets.HenryUnited States - 8.0Scored 8.0
Nice quiet area.
Nice quiet area. A limited but good selection of eating places nearby. the beach is great for walking, swimming or riding a bike. It does not have shade trees on the beach. Lots of different birds. Go to Hotel El Manglar to book mangrove estuary boat tour. it is very good. Playa Grande is much quieter than Tamarindo but it is about 40 minute drive if you want to go to Tamarindo.

I liked the area, which is a very long beach near the national park. Note that access can be limited, as it is a very bumpy and unpaved road from the national park entrance to the villas at the end of the peninsula towards Tamarindo. Beach was fine enough to walk in - lots of shells and surfers. Water wasn't cold, but wasn't totally warm either, comfortable temperature to walk. If you walk down to the end of the peninsula, water taxis that are only $2 will take you over to Tamarindo, so in the end it's nice to be a bit secluded away from the action, yet still have access to shopping and entertainment if you need it. Just wave to the guys at the other end!FlorenceUnited States

- From TWD 3,393 per night8.5Scored 8.5Very goodRated very good· 312 reviewsThis 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.
OzgeSpain - From TWD 1,757 per night8.2Scored 8.2Very goodRated very good· 365 reviewsWe can barely believe this amazing spot exists! For an affordable price, we had a comfortable and stylish stay in a beautiful location literally a minute's walk from the beach. Playa Grande itself was an ideal alternative to Tamarindo, where you can have the beach practically to yourself for the morning and hear the crickets chirping as you enjoy the hotel pool in the evening. We also had wonderful service and conversation with all the staff. We highly recommend it!JackieCanada
- From TWD 1,757 per night8.2Scored 8.2Very goodRated very good· 365 reviewsWe loved Sugars Monkeys small size and boutique feel. it’s about as close to Playa Grande as one can be. We got to know the monkey troops which came by daily. The restaurant and drinks at the hotel were the best we had in town (much better than Jacks Rip next door that served small watery margaritas). Surfboards for rent- very reasonable. The pool was clean and refreshing. Best of all was the friendly staff.ssallyUnited States

The room was big, renovated and with AC. Overall nice facilities with a pool. Laundry service is also offered (paid separately). The hotel helped organize a surf class with a local instructor in English that we really enjoyed. Would definitely go back!
