Top Playa Grande Hotel Reviews

Casa Chameleon Hotel Las Catalinas - Adults Only

10/10 Excellent

"Loved everything about this hotel. Everyone was super friendly, the hotel was clean and exceed my expectations. Tea time towards the evening was great! My room was exceptional. The staff made sure I was great at all times! Cesar, Paulina, Maria Jose, Errol shout out to you guys! Thank you so very much for everything!"

Margaritaville Beach Resort Playa Flamingo

10/10 Excellent

"Margaritaville on Playa de Flamingo was great! Great food, drinks (try the Green Monster), comfortable room, local entertainment, walk to a beautiful beach, large pool, pool tables inside, local craft fairs, sunsets, short walk to shopping, restaurants, harbor, sailing, snorkeling, surfing, diving. Plan to stay put on Weekend Sunsets as the small dirt road get crowded with guests and locals. Enjoy you stay."

Hotel Bosque del Mar, Playa Hermosa

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful stay at Bosque del Mar — friendly, helpful staff, beautiful well-kept grounds. We'd happily come back."

Wyndham Tamarindo

10/10 Excellent

"The Wyndham is a beautiful and well maintained hotel. The magnificent views from the room was breathtaking. The amenities such as timely shuttle service to the beach was immensely helpful. Breakfast was delicious."

Hotel Tamarindo Diria Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was perfect"

JW Marriott Guanacaste Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Thank you very much to all the staff! Great service!! I’d like to mention especially Andreina, from the Pimento Restaurant and all staff there! Awesome service!!!"

Jardín del Edén Boutique Hotel - Adults Only

8/10 Good

"We had a great time. Clean rooms, great staff. Would’ve liked a more comfortable bed. Gotta prepare yourself to walk a lot and walk up and down lots of stairs, no elevators."

Bahia del Sol Beach Front Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"A short hour+ drive from Liberia. Bahia del Sol was a pleasant surprise. A very quiet beach with restaurants, bars, and other amenities within walking distance. The grounds are beautiful. We were there in the rainy season but it was fine. Arrival day it rained most of the afternoon and evening. The next day it rained in the evening, but we got 3 solid days of sunshine and breezes. Parking is a bit tight, but we always got a spot. Free breakfast each morning, although the selection was limited. I suspect they'd have made us most anything we wanted. The staff was wonderful. So friendly and helpful. This is our 4th time to the pacific coast, Samara, Tamarindo twice, and Potrero. We liked this one the best, it was so quiet, although that may have been mainly due to the time of year. I think there were only half a dozen or so occupied rooms. I'd actually go back during the rainy season again!"

The Palms At Coco Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Great place, close to all amenities in Del Coco. The staff was very helpful for sites to see and local events happening in the area. The pool area was great as well."
