Find Beach Hotels in Playa Grande

"A literal gem in Tamarindo! Outstanding view of the ocean, infinity pool and breakfast in the same area. Also I’m writing this after our trip to CR, and I gotta say the only place that served “real” ceviche (real raw fish) is their restaurant. And the olla de res is amazing! Our room had an A/C leak but the maintenance crew came within 5 mins after I called them. "

"Not all inclusive. Only breakfast is, and the menu was the same for the 5 days we stayed"

"Good"

"Horrible property nothing close to the pictures that they show! Food was horrible and service was horrible"

"Great"

"The property was gorgeous and you always saw staff cleaning. I have absolutely zero complaints about the room or property. We stayed on the new side of the property and the decor was very fitting for the resort. For the food, all restaurants are buffet style, which was kind of a bummer because you can find all the specialty restaurant food in the main buffet throughout your stay The steakhouse is table service and takes reservations but it felt very rushed to get through the courses The pools are a massive highlight and honestly so refreshing to be in. There are tables and seating in the pools with the swim up bars, it never took long to wait for a drink, and the cocktails were fruity and delicious. There are plenty of beach activities to look into, the sand is volcanic and hot so definitely wear shoes! If you walk down the beach a bit, there is an off property bar and TONS of monkeys on the way If you don't book through the property and use expedia, you do not get airport transportation included in your reservation. We used LAR and they were awesome, super punctual and professional I went with my boyfriend for my birthday and we are already planning next year's trip The only thing I will say, if you have room preferences that you put in through Riu, make sure to follow up. Since this was my birthday trip I put in a few requests for views and area of property and none of them were met"

"room was comfortable, AC quiet and effective. Access to beach is fantastic, a very short walk. Shuttle and taxi easily arranged by staff. Restaurant good with others nearby. Staff throughout very helpful."

"Great location, nice room but the food isn’t great and service is slow "

"Breakfast was good, meals were fine. Pool was clean and no issues getting lounge chairs as most people booked as needed. Liked beach towel exchange service though hours could be a bit longer. Staff friendly. Very safe."
