9 / 10Outstanding·Oct 2026
The facilities weee very clean and secure, and the staff were very accommodating and professional and polite. It was also very family friendly, which we appreciated traveling with our toddler!
It wasn’t clear when we booked it that it was actually about a mile or so from Playa Grande proper, so all the restaurants and such as well as the main surf break were a short drive ( or a long walk) away. We were there during the slow season so the hotels restaurant was closed, would have been less of an issue if it was open while we stayed. Also, I specifically came for surfing and had hoped I could walk to the main surf break, although you could walk to surfable waves at the beach near the hotel, they just weren’t quite as good as the main surf break at playa grande proper.

I love returning to this hotel for the past several years. The staff is great & super accommodating. The property extra clean with constant maintenance. Offers an outdoor kitchen & dining area which is great and has several Resturant options next door & walking distance. Peaceful, quiet, great for resting as you can hear the ocean & birds from the gardens & pools. Great for couples, solo travelers, digital nomads, families, friends, & traveling with a pet. The best pet friendly luxury hotel.

Staff was great, location was good, price was fiar
Room was very very tight and beds were very poor. The bed was so used it had a preformed hump in the middle and sagging in parts.
