Tropical Bungalow with Pool View

DanielRating, 5 stars4 months ago

This was a really cool place to stay. There's only a few cabins available so if you're thinking of going, book quickly. Very private, clean, and peaceful. Service with a smile (even if you lock yourself out of your room in the evening 😊). They have a great restaurant onsite with a delicious brunch menu. The beach is a good 15 -25 min walk (depending on the path chosen), but it's a nice walk, between the mangroves, howling monkeys, iguanas, and the rest of the ecosystem Costa Rica has to offer, it'll only feel like a couple of minutes. Btw, you'll get to see most of it from your cabin too. Restaurants are also 15min walk on average. Avellana is up and coming, and if you're looking for a 5 star all inclusive hotel with all you can eat buffet, party around the pool, and bottomless margaritas, this isn't the place for you... it might open your eyes to a new way of traveling and experiences though. (if you know, you know!) I highly recommend Soul Shine! Super friendly host & staff!!!!

Ocean Breeze, Beach Front Room

BryanRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

Felt right at home. Location is central to good restaurants and walkable to a few destinations. Rafael was very friendly and gave us good recommendations for places to eat and things to do. Located just 15 minutes driving from Playa Conchal. Definitely recommend staying here if you want to get away from the city life and enjoy nature, at night you can hear the waves which was really soothing.

Olivier is the perfect host, very welcoming and accommodating. The Lodge is very attractive, comfortable and spotless. The grounds are expansive and luxurious. Truly a magical place. We have already scheduled a return visit. You can count on Karin and Olivier to make your stay memorable.

Pool View Room Beachside Tamarindo Beach

SarahRating, 5 stars1 month ago

I gave 5 stars because it would definitely be 5 stars if there was no construction. A lot of the town is being renovated so it’s hard to avoid this anyway if you want to be walking distance. This place was well worth the special pricing due to the construction next door — the property is sooo chic and with semi private pool with day beds, amazing fresh breakfast, 2 blocks away from downtown but not in downtown with the crowds, and you have beach club access a block away with a beautiful gym and infinity pool. The construction was from 6a-6p, we just got up early and stayed out most of the day. If you want a great deal, amazing hospitality, walkable location, and can handle some noise, definitely recommend. We only stayed for 3 nights and I think that was good for us due to the circumstances. If you are planning to stay long, like to sleep in, and want a peaceful slow morning, I would recommend looking a little outside of town.

Jeisha and Marcos are 2 incredible human beings. It’s worth the stay just to have the chance to meet both of them !! The site itself is fantastic, it’s quiet and relaxing extremely beautiful. The Villas are great. Super nice and very clean If you are in Costa Rica or going to CR you need to put a stay with Jeisha and Marcos on your bucket list !!!!

15Love bedroom#1 in a Tennis & Pickleball Club

PhillipRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

We had the best 7 nights here. The location is great, just off the main road so it felt secluded yet only 5 minutes to all the restaurants. All the staff, Oli and Emilie were so nice and helpful. Our room was large and had everything we needed. We recommend having their breakfast, it’s great value and good! We felt relaxed throughout, and there is a nice social area by the pool where me made friends with other guests. A nice community feel. We honestly loved it and would like to come again and bring friends. We also adored Emma, their wonderful calm dog ha!

Beach apartment in Playa Grande

VinceRating, 5 stars9 months ago

We had a lovely stay at Javier's. The apartment was very clean and comfortable, which we especially appreciated after our long trip from California. Best thing for us was how close the beach was. It took us less than five minutes to walk to a stunningly gorgeous beach with the best body surfing waves we've ever caught. There were also some nice places to eat nearby and an easy jaunt to the water taxi's which take you to Tamarindo. Day trips are also very doable, with the Las Leonas waterfalls within a 1.5 hr drive and the Buena Vista adventure tours (zip lining, horseback, water slide) within 2.5 hrs. Would definitely stay here again.

Beach Villa in Playa Grande

ElizabethRating, 5 stars34 months ago

El Manglar is the perfect and best place to stay in Playa Grande. The staff is friendly, the rooms are clean, the location is ideal, and the price is affordable. I love that this is a place owned and run by Ticos. It’s nice to stay at the beach in Costa Rica where the guests aren’t just tourists, but also nacionales. Gracias por todo!

Really cute spot with easy access to the beach. Hosts were very responsive and went out of their way to ensure I had made it safely to an excursion I had signed up for thru them. Would definitely stay again. Make sure to try out their restaurant down the road.

KirstenRating, 5 stars1 month ago

Very nice place to stay with kitchen, great bathroom, nice pool and terrace. The place is not so accessible yet and therefore less busy, even on the beach which is beautiful! Overall, it's a very warm climate in Avellanas. But overall very nice and Justin is a great host! I would definitely come back!!!

Rafael was an amazing host, accommodating our last minute reservation late at night. Made sure it was clean and ready by the time we got there. 30 ft to the beach, peaceful, a glorious spot. We plan to come back and stay there on our next visit to the area!
