    I'm a light sleeper, so I really appreciated the quiet atmosphere at the hotel. The location was perfect, just a few steps from the beach, which meant I could easily catch some waves in the morning. The owner, Felipe, was incredibly helpful and friendly, offering great recommendations and organizing tours for me. I also loved the comfortable bed in my room and the fact that I could store my luggage under the bed.

    There was only two plugs in the room, which made it a bit difficult to charge all my devices at once.

    Great value for money and the room was comfortable with a well-functioning AC. The location was perfect, just a short walk to the beautiful beach, and Felipe, the owner, was friendly and accommodating.

    The breakfast selection could be improved with a wider variety of options.

    My recent stay at Pipe House in Playa Grande was absolutely amazing. The location was perfect for me – tucked away in a quiet area, right by the beach. The sandy beach was ideal for learning to surf, and I had a blast riding the waves. The facilities at Pipe House were clean and well-maintained, and my bed in the pipe was surprisingly comfortable. The air conditioning kept me cool throughout the night. The owner was also a fantastic host, making sure I had everything I needed for a pleasant stay. I highly recommend Pipe House to solo travelers looking for a unique and relaxing experience. I had a fantastic time and would definitely stay here again.

    The value for money at Pipe House was excellent, and the room was comfortable and beautifully designed. The location was perfect, just steps away from a private beach and a short walk to Tamarindo. The staff, especially Felipe, were friendly and helpful, making my stay even better.

    Breakfast offerings could be improved with more variety and options.

    We absolutely loved staying at the Pipe House in Playa Grande! The location is stunning, right on the beach, and the kitchen facilities were excellent. Felipe, the owner, is amazing and always available to answer questions and give advice. The rooms are clean and the common spaces, including the kitchen, showers, and toilets, are well-maintained. The unique concept of staying in a converted container added to the overall experience. We also enjoyed the workout area with yoga mats and homemade gym equipment. It's a quiet and relaxing hostel, and you can even hear the ocean from the property. We highly recommend this place for a unique and enjoyable stay.

    Felt snug, no reason to complain.

    The location couldn't be better - just a short stroll to the stunning Playa Grande. The rooms were clean, cozy, and had great air conditioning to keep us cool. We loved the communal kitchen where we could prepare meals and the helpful owner Felipe made our stay even better with his friendly service. Plus, the hotel's proximity to the national park meant we got to see amazing wildlife like howler monkeys and parrots. It was a truly unforgettable experience.

    While the rooms were comfortable, it took a bit of trial and error to find the perfect AC setting.

    The hostel had a great beachfront location, perfect for a relaxing getaway. The surf lessons offered by Felipe were affordable and enjoyable. The common area and kitchen were spacious and well-equipped for cooking your own meals.

    Some of our food was taken during our stay, and the rooms were not cleaned without us requesting it. If you don't have a car, getting around can be a bit challenging.

    We had an amazing stay at this unique beachfront hotel. The common area was cozy and well-lit, creating a welcoming atmosphere. The rooms, despite being small pipes, were surprisingly comfortable, with ample storage space underneath the bed and shelves for clothes. The hotel is located on a beautiful and quiet beach, perfect for a relaxing getaway. The staff was flexible and helpful, allowing us to pay with PayPal when we ran low on cash. We also appreciated the option to rent a surfboard directly from the hotel.

    Nothing, all was good.

    The place is lovely and well kept, with a friendly host. There are 9 rooms with capacity for 20 people. There are 2 showers and 2 toilets for each gender. The chill out area is comfortable and the kitchen is big. The beach is only 20 meters away.

    Felt more than at home, no complaint.

    The location of the hotel was perfect, just a short walk to the beautiful beach. The common areas were spacious and well-equipped, with a large kitchen and a comfortable hangout area. The property felt safe and secure, with a gated entrance and a guard at night.

    It was difficult to get information about tours and activities from the staff, as they were not always available. The temperature control in the unique pipe rooms was a bit challenging, and it was hard to find the perfect temperature.

The owner, Felipe, is incredibly helpful and goes above and beyond to ensure a fantastic experience. The staff is friendly and attentive, and the rooms are clean and comfortable.

    The hotel is not located near any grocery stores or affordable restaurants, making it a bit inconvenient for longer stays.
