    friendly staff

    Just a decent option for a flash visit in Playa Grande with exceptional value. The staff was really friendly and helped me with my luggage when I arrived, which was a nice touch. Try to explore the local area for some great food options nearby.

    easy strolls to beach and local attractions make this a gem

    i loved how close this place was to the beautiful tamarindo beach, which was just about a 2 km walk, and the nearby tamarindo night market allowed for some great evening explorations and food sampling right around the corner.

    fresh seafood
    live music
    outdoor pool
    spotty wi-fi

    I really enjoyed the fresh seafood dishes and the peaceful live music every evening at the hotel. Plus, the outdoor swimming pool and garden area offered super relaxing spots to unwind after a day at the beach. The only thing I noticed was that the Wi-Fi could be a bit spotty at times, but it didn't take away from my overall great experience. 🌊

    beautiful beach
    spotty wi-fi

    Our stay here was nothing short of delightful. The lush tropical garden provided a serene atmosphere, and the proximity to a beautiful beach made our walks unforgettable. The wildlife we encountered, including a baby turtle and armadillo on the beach, added to the uniqueness of our experience. The in-house dining was also fantastic, featuring amazing dishes with fresh ingredients, making every meal a treat.

    The only downside was that the Wi-Fi was a bit spotty at times, which was slightly inconvenient.

    wi-fi issues

    Nestled in a lush tropical garden, the luxurious atmosphere included exceptional nightly live music that seamlessly blended into the peaceful setting, enhancing the experience. Dining was a highlight, particularly the gyu-don dishes that showcased the freshest seafood and vegetables. However, there were occasional shortcomings, such as limited seating options in the dining area during peak times, a lack of variety in drinks available by the pool, and Wi-Fi connectivity issues at times, which slightly disrupted the serene environment.

    tropical gardens
    culinary delight
    spotty wi-fi

    The lush tropical gardens create a tranquil setting, perfect for unwinding after a day of activities. The in-house dining offers standout dishes like the shrimp quesadillas, making every meal a satisfying culinary experience.

    The Wi-Fi signal can be inconsistent, which might be a minor inconvenience, especially for those wanting to connect during their stay. In addition, seating options in the dining area can fill up quickly during peak hours, leading to some wait times if you're trying to grab a meal at busy times.
