Hotel Cantarana

It was for my son’s wedding. Everything was wonderful. It was probably the best experience that I have had in a long time. The rooms were great! Included air conditioning, soundproof walls, very comfortable bed, refrigerator, stove top, microwave, coffee maker, expresso maker, dishes, utensils, and extremely clean. The staff was friendly and over accommodating, prepared to meet your needs and insure satisfaction. Andrea is a gem. She went over and aboard her job description, doing any and everything that was need to make sure that the wedding party was happy. The beach was less than 2 minutes walking distance, directly across from the hotel. I did not want to leave. I LOVED IT! Will be returning. Forgot about the cost. I spent 7 nights and 6 days and did not break the bank.

We loved Hotel Cantarana and Playa Grande! A beautiful beach, amazing sunsets, great guided trips, and a comfortable place to stay with helpful, friendly staff that take great care of their place. Can’t wait to come back!!!

I loved this hotel. The room was basic, but the a**osphere overall was fabulous. Great small pool, easy walk to one of the most beautiful private beaches. The restaurant had fantastic food and drinks- Mario was amazing. If I come back to Costa Rica I will not be staying anywhere else. It was magical!

Very private property close to private beach, quiet and new rooms. While our stay was short, we really liked hotel and staff.

Lovely rooms, nice pool area, private access to the beach. The staff was welcoming and very helpful. They do accept pets so you may hear some yapping dogs. They have surfboard and paddle rentals on site and can help you with all of your tours. If you want a very low-key beach vibe this is a place for you.

The bed was super comfortable and the room was very nice and clean. We loved the pool and it was a short walk to a beautiful beach. The restaurant was also very good. We didn't want to leave!

Nice small hotel with 5 rooms, small swimming pool and restaurant. Room upstairs was nice with 1 double and 1 single bed, refrigerator, A/C, TV. Nice patio with table, chairs and hammock. The beach is a few minutes' walk. Nice for surfing and swimming. Very warm water in the ocean. Yoga class 3x/week for fee. Breakfast was not incl. but available for $9. There is other 3 restaurants and small store in walking distance.

Room was nice and quiet. The beach very nice, warm water. Good for surfing. Restaurants O.K.

When we arrived the hotel was empty. There were no people to help or welcome us, which felt a bit odd. The room was worn down and dirty. Even the coffee cup was dirty (see pictures) We therefore wanted to shorten our stay, but the the staff was completely unhelpful and started arguing with us instead. We therefore decided to book another hotel eve though this hotel would not shorten our stay.
