Top Playa Grande Hotel Reviews

Occidental Tamarindo - All Inclusive

6/10 Okay

"Not for me..it’s more geared towards locals and families. Very limited food/drink choices and activities. Not worth the all inclusive price."

Hotel Riu Palace Costa Rica - All Inclusive

8/10 Good

"We have been to RIU before in Mexico & was a much different experience. The Costa Rica resort needed a reno but we knew that going so that didn't bother us, we still had a great time. The food was very good in all restaurants we went to. The buffet was incredible every time. To get into restaurants was a total disappointment. They don't take reservations but you can be put on a list (reservation) total crap & we weren't the other customers totally frustrated about the dining experience. Our room was ok but we were in a group of 6 & some had to change rooms because the air didn't work. Some rooms didn't have hot water in the sink or shower but in the bath tub??? Wierd !!! In all my years of staying at hotels, resorts I have never had anything in my room go missing until Riu Place Costa Rica. Our last full day when we came back to our room our personal items on the sink area had all been moved. I noticed right away one of my face products boxes was missing, weird right?? Then we were travelling back to the airport I realized that one of our supplements was missing that my husband & I had been taking every morning. We both did not take it because it wasn't in the spot it had been for the 6 days before & I never packed it to go home!! The entertainment was very good. Max & Alex were very friendly. The photographer Joshua was very good Overall we had a great vacation but we would never recommend Riu Palace Costa Rica to anyone & we would not go back ourselves."

Wyndham Tamarindo

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay went very well. Easy and quick check in and check out. A lot of options at breakfast. The shuttle to downtown and the beach runs every hour and is very convenient since the hotel is up a steep hill. The building seems to be a little old but we had no issues. The AC and Wifi worked fine. Access to the beach club is also great since they have chairs you can use. "

Hotel Tamarindo Diria Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Nice property overall. But definitely needs a facelift. More modern items in room like usb and outlets. Our showerhead didn’t properly and no hot water. Was upset that rental place to rent some boogie boards was closed on all days (Friday) Would return though."

Margaritaville Beach Resort Playa Flamingo

10/10 Excellent

"We had an absolutely wonderful stay here and are already planning to come back next year! The resort exceeded our expectations in so many ways. Everything was extremely clean, neat, and very well maintained. The rooms were spacious, conveniently located, and comfortable, which made traveling with kids so much easier. We traveled as three families with children ages 6, 7, and 8, and we always felt extremely safe and comfortable throughout the entire stay. The kiddie pool area was fantastic, especially the shaded covered section where parents could comfortably sit and watch the kids even during the hottest parts of the day. The main pool was also beautiful and relaxing. Another pleasant surprise was the food. We genuinely enjoyed everything we ate. Yes, there is a buffet, which naturally repeats some dishes throughout the week, but they also have menu options that were excellent. The Eggs Benedict were wonderful, and the cheeseburgers were honestly incredible. The location is amazing - literally right across the small dirt road from the beach. The waves were stronger than we expected, so we watched the kids carefully, but they still had an amazing time. The service was outstanding. Scott, the regional director, was constantly checking on guests and making sure everyone was comfortable and having fun. Overall, we truly had an amazing experience and highly recommend this resort for families! "

Hotel Bosque del Mar, Playa Hermosa

10/10 Excellent

"We truly enjoyed our stay at Hotel Bosque Del Mar. Our Oceanfront room was wonderful with all the amenities needed--large room, separate sitting area and lovely balcony to view Playa Hermosa. The staff were also very accommodating. Our only complaint is that the beach seating is removed each day between 6 and 7pm. We would have appreciated the opportunity to continue to enjoy the beach with a place to sit in the evening. One suggestion: As there is no gift shop in the hotel or nearby, it would be helpful to have some incidentals for purchase when travelers forget to bring items from home; such as, sun screen and bug spray."
