“Great Hosts”

Reviewed 16 May 2013

My girlfriend and I spent three nights here in May, and we absolutely loved it. Our hosts were completely charming and went way out of their way to help us enjoy our stay. They even made us feel at home after we accidentally set off an alarm in the middle of the night, and when my girlfriend got sick they... More

Reviewed 5 May 2013

My husband and I stayed here for 3 nights and loved every minute of it. Thank you Marcos and Sabine for an opportunity to see the real Costa Rica- in a beautiful and clean boutique hotel that is small enough to feel remote but big in what it offers. We had the best meals here- you have to try the... More

After a couple of nights we knew that the Hotel and the location was just what we were looking for to unwind after a long Canadian... More

“Wonderful Hotel”

Reviewed 28 April 2013

We (party of 3 including my 11 year old grandson) spent 3 nights at Hotel Cantarana. This was our first time to Playa Grande. Marcus and Sabine were more than accommodating greeting us later than their normal check-in due to a late flight from the States. They even arranged for transportation to their hotel as we did not want to... More

Very nice spot: located in the midst of nature and calm, a small walk away from the beach. The owners are very welcoming and flexible. They were great with our 2-year old son. Breakfast is tasty: fresh fruits, crispy bread, good coffee, ... served with a smile. Same goes for dinner. Diving excursion could immediatly be arranged. Keep in mind... More

“We hated it - not suitable for families”

Reviewed 16 April 2013

We hated it - the hotel changed hands shortly after I had booked it and the people who now run it are very uptight about their pool, grounds and rooms with lots of little notices asking you not to use sun tan lotion and make sure you don't bring and sand in from the beach. My suggestion to them would... More

Dear Clara, we want our guests to be happy! We are here in paradise everyday (from 6:30 am until 10 pm) to help our guests to have a wonderful vacation. There is always someone here to answer questions. We prefer that our guests talk to us, not like you leaving the hotel in the middle of the night without notice... More

We stayed at Hotel Cantarana for two weeks on our honeymoon.
