“Really lovely place to stay”
+We liked the facilities,shared kitchen, place to sit outside and hammock. Really friendly owner. Cute coffee shop on the property. Not that far to walk to the beautiful beach. Enjoyed the howler monkey visits.

“I would definitely not stay or recommend this hotel.”
+Natalia was very helpful.
−We killed about 3 dozen ants. When I told the owner the next morning he said well yes we had a problem a couple of years ago. He made no apologies and didn’t seem concerned. I discovered that morning there was a gap around the door and I’m sure that’s why there were ants AND the A/C had to work overtime to compensate. Our room was on the front and we heard traffic all night.

“Lovely place and very friendly staff”
+Very cosy vibe. Rooms are spacious, confortable beds. There is free coffee in the morning and a kitchen you can use. Staff is so friendly, helped us to find a place for scuba diving nearby. Walking distance to the beach (10min by walk) and restaurants around. Absolutely loved it!
−Not much water pressure if you want hot water under the shower.

−The room was very simple and no atmosphere, close to the road with tragic noise, yet the stuff were very friendly

“Fantastic location and comfortable stay at Indra Inn, in the wonderful Playa Grande”
+We stayed for one night at Indra Inn, whilst on a two week road trip. We were pleasantly surprised with the room and shared facilities in the open kitchen. Our double room was larger than we expected and the shower room was spacious. We had expected to have a fan in the room so were surprised that there was both a fan and functioning air conditioning. The bed was very comfortable and the room clean. The open kitchen was large and although we did not cook meals, there was everything that we needed to make coffee and prepare snacks. I communicated with Indra Inn in advance of our stay, to organise a night visit to a near by beach with the hope of seeing turtles, and also getting out in a boat in the mangrove swamps in the morning. Natalia was very helpful and linked us up with an ethical and sympathetic guide who took us out for both tours, always mindful about the experience of animals we were sharing space with and ensuring we did not create any distress for the animals. The location of Indra Inn is excellent. We were pleasantly surprised at the great vibe of the small town of Playa Grande, and the variety of places to eat within a 1 minute walk of Indra Inn. We walked to the beach
−We were up early in the morning to get out on a boat trip but when we returned the noise from the road was noticeable when the fan in the room was turned off. I can't imagine that the road is ever so busy that road noise would be problematic for sleep, and there's very very little traffic at night, but this might be a consideration for some travellers. Like most places we stayed on our road trip, the shower water was tepid - fine for us but just adding in case that's important for other people. Playa Grande could be the kind of place to set up for a few weeks/months, working remotely. It's beautiful and very relaxing. And great surf in the area. There was a remote worker in the room next to us, holding a lengthy business meeting at some volume on the terrace outside. Personally, as someone who needed to get away from and not think about work for a short while, this was a little annoying as the 'business' impacted on our experience in our room. It's a small thing, and the only time we experienced this in Costa Rica ... but if this is a regular occurrence at Indra Inn then an etiquette refresh/reminder might be required.
