Glamping Hotel Flor y Bambu, hotel in Playa Grande

Glamping Hotel Flor y Bambu features free bikes, shared lounge, a garden and water sports facilities in Playa Grande.

I was a little apprehensive at first, to sleep in a tent in the tropics with all mosquitos etc but I experienced no issue at all. The tents were clean, a fan was running to keep temperature under control and keep mosquitos away. In fact, I did not experience any mosquitos at all, even not while sitting around the lovely pool or central areas. The garden allows for lot’s of privacy. I also liked the open air shower behind each tent. Breakfast was relatively simple, but happy that the cook even showed up because I was the only guest for 2 nights. :-). The tents were also provided with facilities like a fridge to store cold drinks in and other perishables. I Liked the call of the monkey’s early morning. Playa Grande is definitely a much more quieter area than Tamarindo’s beach (much more entertainment there), so if you came to find a quiet place; this is the beach where you would want to stay.

Hotel Rip Jack Inn, hotel in Playa Grande

Located in front of Playa Grande Beach and 2 km from Playa Ventanas Beach, the Hotel Rip Jack Inn features a sun terrace with swimming pool, a yoga terrace and free Wi-Fi throughout.

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 grounds were pretty and well-landscaped. The staff was incredibly hospitable and helpful. Close proximity to a quiet beach. A very comfortable, boutique stay and a great value for the money. The drive in was manageable but lots of pot holes to avoid!

The Grateful Hotel, hotel in Playa Grande

Located in Playa Grande, 200 metres from Grande Beach, The Grateful Hotel provides accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a garden and a terrace.

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.

    Loved the location, loved all the seating at the pool and the pool itself. Also really appreciated the outdoor hang out space - each unit seems to have their own. Loved the walkway to the beach and the yoga offering. Denis at reception was awesome, offering us help with making the ceiling fan work, finding an extra chair for us and looking into massages and surfing lessons.

    Property is amazing, and we enjoyed our stay. The swimming pool is awesome. It is very quiet and serene. Rodriguez is a good host. You need to travel about 1km once you get off the paved road, and that could be tough. It is better to have an SUV vehicle, small car could be challenging.

    A fabulous 5 day stay at the RipJack Inn. Great location by the beach, responsive management, fabulous always ready to help staff, a restaurant with a broad spectrum menu at fair prices, most rooms by a swimming pool, and very competitive prices. What more could one want? P.S. We will be recommending the RipJack Inn, and Costa Rica in general to our friends.
