Delicious Meals
The breakfast each morning was always a treat, with options like smoothies and fresh fruit. Henry provided good entrees, and I absolutely loved the tuna and avocado salad. Every meal was fantastic, including the sinful fried ice cream. Dining outdoors with the stars above made it even more special.

The hotel featured a small bar downstairs with a pool table, making it a fun spot to hang out with friends. The entertainment during fiesta night was excellent, with dancers and a mariachi band creating a lively atmosphere. I had a fantastic time!

The location couldn’t be better; just a short walk to the beautiful beach. However, I felt the dining options could be improved for breakfast, and the room could have been slightly bigger for comfort.

Our time at Playa Grande Park Hotel was simply unforgettable! The ambiance felt like a true home away from home, surrounded by the friendly energy of both the owners and staff. The beach was just a short walk away, making it easy to enjoy the sun and surf. While our stay was mostly perfect, we did face a slight hiccup with our room reservation that was quickly resolved. Overall, I can't recommend this place enough for those wanting an authentic Costa Rican experience!
