Apartments in Playa Grande

"The property grounds were immaculate! Well maintained, lush and beautiful. Like being in the rainforest, but with paved roads and walking paths. Lots of wildlife, flowers and plants - truly stunning! "

"Staff was very friendly. Room was very nice. Great pools great beach great food."

"Room was great! Infinity pool and restaurant were even better. Amazing view of the ocean. The shuttle service was amazing. It came every hour (sometimes twice hourly) to drop off up to 10 guest down the hill to the town area and/or beach club. The beach club was awesome! Very cleanly and nice access to the beach."

"I was pleasantly surprised how much I enjoyed my stay here. My room was much larger than expected and very clean. The staff at the front desk was very friendly and as a solo traveler, this made me feel safe. My room was right outside the pool and I loved having the flexibility to sit at the pool or the beach which is only a few steps away! I appreciated that the staff happily carried a beach chair for me to sit directly on the beach as opposed to the shady private area for hotel guests. I loved waking up every morning to complimentary breakfast delivered to my door. I do wish there were more options on the menu but was very appreciative that this was provided. Overall, I would definitely recommend this hotel if you’re looking for a budget friendly place to stay!"

"The staff was outstanding! Yorya, Dylan and Andrea were consistently personable, friendly, and particularly helpful, answering all of our questions and assisting us with virtually all of our plans! The location in Palm Beach Estates was ideally situated, where a short walk on a shaded path led to a wonderful, expansive and nearly private beach. The grounds at Hotel El Manglar were quite lush and well maintained. The swimming pool and surrounding deck areas were equally well maintained. Our room had a small kitchen which was well-equipped, offering us everything we needed for light meals and beverages. Our room was comfortable and clean, with linens and supplies replenished every other day. The bed was quite well-dressed and comfortable. We were worried about not having a car during our stay and discovered that it was not an issue! An 18 minute walk south on the beach brought us to an estuary system, which was easily crossed by water taxi ($2.00 U.S,), dropping us into the bustling beach town of Tamarindo. Its streets were lined with a variety of restaurants and quaint beach shops featuring local artisans and souvenirs. Once there, we could easily reach a bank and 2 small grocery stores. We took 3 excursions that required transportation, and those arrangements were seamlessly handled by the wonderful El Manglar staff (mentioned above). We very much hope that a return trip will be in our not-too-distant future! Pura-Vida!"

"The resort is beautiful! Our rooms were clean, well kept, and had a beautiful view of palm trees and the pool. Staff was kind and easily accessible. Highly recommend the Club level- the adult only pool and lounge chairs were a favorite component!"

"Great Staff"
