Pipe House Playa Grande

This hostel is such a unique experience! Very clean and with a gym that has everything you need to get a good workout in. The sleeping pods are really comfy and the AC is good. We enjoyed the beach that is only a minute away from the hostel and the surfing is better than playa Tamarindo!

What a great place! The Pipe House is truly the best hostel I’ve vet stayed at! The owner Felipe and hos staff were so welcoming. The pipe houses were so cozy and everything was super clean, including the common areas. The beds inside the pipes were very comfortable and it was so peaceful and quiet. The common areas are very nice with hammocks and i green surroundings. They have a jungle gym at the property too. The breakfast is very great. The hostel also provides surf lessons and boards for renting. My stay at Pipe House was great, it was 2 nights but I’d stay longer if I could! And is so close to the empty Playa Grande Beach! Thanks for a lovely stay :)

Great property, peaceful and away from busy Tamarindo. Great helpful and friendly staff!

The Pipe House was great. Best fit for young travelers looking for a youth hostel type environment. Hip place. We didn’t sleep very well in the tubes but we’re likely spoiled by bug beds and room to spread out. We felt very safe there and would definitely suggest to youthful travelers.

Amazing place..:.the pipes are a unique concept. The beds are very comfortable and the pipes are air conditioned. The breakfast is cooked in front of you and is delicious the cooks even make homemade tortillas right there. The beach is amazing it is so peaceful and quiet (if you want a busy more resort fill you can take the water taxi over to Tamarindo) There are beautiful shells all over this beach and the sand is amazing. Phillipe the owner provided surf lessons right in-front of the property for a fee…my daughter had a surf lesson and it was excellent! Definitely a wonderful place to stay in a amazing location with the nicest people. As other have described it feels like a boutique hotel…

Such a unique experience! Pipehouse feels like a home away from home. It’s very intimate and amazing access to the beach! Tamarindo is only a 10-15 minute walk away which gives you perfect balance of bustling crowds and your own quiet paradise. The Staff are lovely and the owner is extremely helpful and accommodating. Absolutely will be coming back!

We stumbled upon this place online after not being able to find accomodation in Tamarindo and I am so happy about that and I cannot say enough great things. Felipe the owner is so friendly and helpful, the staff as well. Breakfast is included - simple but good. The Pipes are more spacious then they look and all have a/c. The vibe is friendly and low key. There is a gym, hammocks and is a 1 min walk to the beach. You are close enough that you can hear the waves crashing on the beach when you are in bed at night. You can take surf lessons or just hire a board for $10. There is a couple amazing restaurants close by and a small market. Just a short walk down the beach and you can take a $2 water taxi accross the estuary to Tamarindo. The ferry stops running at 5 so make sure you are back or you have to take a cab (45min drive) to get back here. The beach here is so quiet compared to Tamarindo and you can swim safely. I would definitely recommend staying

Perfect spot if your looking to surf and hang out on the beach. Close enough to Tamarindo if you need access to certain things but far enough from the crowds. Staff was friendly, grounds were clean and breakfast was great!

Very unique place with a feel between boutique and hostel. The location is amazing right on a quiet section of Playa Grande, which has better surf and less people and noise than nearby Tamarindo. Very friendly and helpful host. There is a kitchen you can use to prepare meals, a spacious covered area to relax, a gym area with weights and yoga mats, and a beautiful courtyard with hammocks. The parking is safe and behind a coded gate. Great cafe nearby with great happy hour specials.
