We enjoyed our stay at Hotel Cantarana. The access to the private beach was amazing and the sunset was spectacular! There are great restaurants at the property and within walking distance. The room was clean and comfortable but the property could use a refresh. Overall was a great stay!

This hotel exceeded our expectations! It was so nice to have a small kitchen with an espresso maker as well as a coffee/smoothie shop and restaurant on site. The staff was so friendly and accessible at all hours. We were able to rent last minute surfboards and enjoyed the beautiful surf and non-crowded beach that was just a very short walk down a beautiful, shaded path. We will absolutely visit this hotel again!

Small, 5 unit, hotel. Restaurant serves good food and drink and the coffee shop is very good. The 2nd floor apartments have bar fridge and coffee maker only with main floor units having a small kitchen. Comfortable king beds. The property could use some attention, tile work on the pool, handrails loose, trim boards missing, but all in all, pretty good shape. The staff are tremendous. Very helpful and accommodating. Arranged tours, made our stay very pleasant.

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.

Excellent place and service! Just a couple of details that bothered me... 1) for a few hours I had to leave my vehicle not in the corresponding parking lot since the space was occupied by people other than the tenants... a situation that does not seem to me since we are staying and we must have priority. 2) There are few food options near the place, therefore we had to choose to eat at the hotel restaurant! The truth is very delicious but prices a little excessive! 3) The network connection never worked in the room.

This is a lovely small hotel - beside a truly spectacular beach and close to a wildlife diverse and abundant mangrove estuary - we were at the end of our month long trip to costa rica - traveling with my two kids - so we very much enjoyed the pool - perfect!, and the restaurant great food and lovely staff- all hotel staff were extremely friendly and helpful - There is also a cafe where we enjoyed morning coffee. We did encounter a few problems and they were dealt with, maybe not efficiently, but to great satisfaction. The check in was a little atypical - as the reception is shared with the next hotel along - but self check in instructions were clear, and we were even attempting to check in early - and all was made very easy for us! A wonderful experience in this beach/jungle paradise!

The food was amazing-- try their breakfast avocado egg toast and grilled tuna salad...OMG!!! Staff was very friendly and helpful. Be mindful property is NOT right on the beach, but it is a short 3 minute walk away. Beach is beautiful and relatively quiet. Also know that the beach closes at 6pm (sunset) to protect the turtles, but if you have transportation, you can easily get to restaurants/bars in Playa Grande (5 min drive) or either town of Tamarindo or Brasilito (20 min in either direction).

Our family stayed at Hotel Cantarana for 2 nights and really enjoyed it. All of the staff members were kind and welcoming. There is a restaurant on-site and three delicious breakfast options were included with the stay. There are not many other food options in the immediate area, so we ate most of our meals at the hotel but did venture over to Tamarindo on the water taxi for lunch and souvenir shopping one of the days. Playa Grande itself is stunning and we enjoyed watching the sunset in the evenings. Many activity options were available through their sister hotel, Hotel El Manglar, which is directly across from the beach access point and less than a 5 minute walk away from Hotel Cantarana. My 7 year old son and his father participated in a group surfing lesson and had an absolute blast. Surf boards were also available to rent.

Secluded Getaway- What are you looking for?
A romantic getaway or surfer heaven a short walk from an amazing soft sandy beach with 9 foot tidal swings and great waves for beginners at one end, experts at the main break that is also super wide with zero rocks even at low tide. A lovely grounds for this property. Private patio's with table and chairs and hammock for each of the 5 rooms. So relaxing a setting. Restaurant on site! Great breakfast menu and options. Staff is great. Rooms with typical tropical flush plumbing (no paper), hot water for showers, ceiling fans and A/C. What they cannot control is that the beach is closed from 6pm to 5am due to it being a protected national park to protect the turtles. Limited places to walk to or from at night. Car is essential. Bumpy dirt road for access. Access to Tamarindo is either 40 minutes by car or a 35 minute journey by foot and only during the stated beach access hours and only with help of a local with a boat to cross the estuary where crocodiles frequent. Thus as a non surfer.. and wanting a night life for me 2 or 3 nights was enough to experience this lovely tropical setting.
GREEN and gorgeous at Cantarana pool under the tree in December.
Take an adventure,  first timer's lesson with Mojo Surf Never too late to learn and I caught my own wave in the first hour.
At the Main Break point 2kms down from hotel 's beach access

We went there at the end of August and had an amazing time! If you're looking for small, quaint and a more personal experience, then this is the place for you! The staff there was incredibly nice and accommodating. The food was delicious and cooked to order each time! You had private beach access about a 2 min walk away and the beach was beautiful and very clean. Not to many people there, which was exactly what we were looking for! And When we did want to do some shopping, Tamarindo was a short boat ride away or a quick 35-40 min drive. Absolutely will come back here!

The Hotel Cantarana offers everything you need for a relaxing vacation in Costa Rica. The staff (Michael and Mario) were extremely helpful, welcoming and ready to answer any questions that you may have about the area. We arrived in an airport shuttle ($90 USD) that was arranged through the hotel (call at least 24 hours in advance to reserve) and did not need a car for the rest of the stay. Everything you need is within walking distance; restaurants, the beautiful Pacific Ocean, shopping and excursions in Tamarindo, water tours through the national park and a local convenience market can all be reached by foot. The hotel also offers an onsight restaurant/ bar that serves amazing fresh food and drinks for breakfast (free breakfast with your room), lunch and dinner. We listened to the howler monkeys in the trees every morning while we ate breakfast in the open-air restaurant. I highly recommend this hotel for your relaxing Guanacaste experience. Note: We felt very isolated when we first arrived but after only an hour of discovering the area, we fell in love with the hotel.

Great little hotel with good restaurant
Great little hotel in Playa Grande. Wonderful staff, great rooms and pool. Restaurant serves three meals a day. Horrible dirt road to get to the hotel. 5 rooms. Hotel has umbrellas and chairs to use at the beach which is accessible through a locked gate and a walk on a trail through the woods to the beach. Water taxi is a long walk but will take you to Tamarindo. Very rural area.
