Casa Amuga was gorgeous and was a great fit for our group of 8 ladies for my bachelorette! Cris was a very responsive concierge and was super helpful with recommendations. Yami was our house mom and was incredible! Her gallo pinto was to die for!! The house has everything you could need. Playa Grande is a small, quiet surf town - if you don’t have your own vehicle, I STRONGLY recommend renting golf carts (check out Go Grande, Ty has the best rates in the area). It is a bumpy road that is not well-lit, so if you plan on leaving the house, you def need a vehicle. I do feel like upon arrival, we were given so many instructions it was a bit overwhelming after a long travel day. The alarm system is a bit complicated because there are 3 rooms outside of the main house. The 2 bunk rooms are in a separate bachelor house and there’s a single room alone outside by the pool. Overall it was a beautiful stay and I wouldn’t hesitate to return!! Thanks Cris and Yami for a beautiful stay ❤️

Amazing stay for our girls' trip! Cris was so helpful with all of our questions. It was a bit hard to communicate with 3rd party tours that we booked, since there is not an exact address, but we sent the coordinates to the house and was able to direct the driver to pick us up. The villa is amazing and our house mom Yami was the absolute best. Yami's guac was the best any of us have ever had and it stayed so green to the next day! For grocery, there is a local fruit stand or a small market nearby. You can walk to these places, but we recommend renting a golf cart during your stay. There is a rental place around the corner or Cris can send a recommendation - although her rec comes from Tamarindo so there is a $100 travel fee. The beach is also a short golf cart drive away. Tamarindo is 30 mins away and uber is NOT reliable. Since most Ubers are located in Tamarindo, there's no incentive for them to take a cheap ride far away to Playa Grande. We recommend getting a shuttle - ask Cris!

Where do I start? This is such a beautiful home and location! Everything my group and I had hoped for and more. The house is a few minute walk from the beach, which never gets too crowded and has amazing views, especially for those looking to get great sunset photos. Cris helped us with recommendations, connecting us to transportation, and answered any questions we had, making our trip a breeze! The house mom, Yami, did wonderful job helping us feel at home, providing breakfast and snacks! This is an amazing place to stay for a Costa Rican adventure!

We had an incredible week at Casa Amuga. Cris provided awesome recommendations and helped us settle in. The house was gorgeous and had everything we needed, and Yami (the ‘house mom’) was wonderful! It was a perfect escape, and we hope to be back again soon

We had a great stay! The house is beautiful and well laid out for a party of any size. It is a quick walk to the beach and very private. Cris was wonderfully helpful and friendly. Great experience all around.

We loved our stay in Playa Grande! The house is even more beautiful (and larger) than the pictures-which was perfect for our large group traveling together. The casita with bunks is not connected to the main house, which is good to note if traveling with younger kids…but would be perfect for older kids. The house is beautiful and a short walk to the beach. Would recommend a golf cart or car rental to get to restaurants/surf board rental locations, etc. Cris goes above and beyond to make your trip incredible. We felt so taken care of by her during our trip, and she was incredibly quick to respond and help out when we needed anything. Truly an incredible host. Yami is also amazing! She was there to cook and clean and do laundry at the house and we were so lucky to have her there. She made delicious breakfasts for us! Overall, a great spot in the jungle just a short walk from the beach. Would definitely stay here again!

The only drawback were the roads into the house, very bumpy. And the internet went out for a few days. Grandkids weren't happy about that! Cris was very helpful in planning our excursions and got back to us in a very short time. Yamy, who came to make breakfast, clean the bathrooms and bedrooms, make Pina coladas and guacamole in the afternoon for us was amazing!! We loved having her there!! The house was perfect for the 13 of us and liked that we were within walking distance of the beach and small little restaurants were also very good. Thank you for a wonderful 12 days in Playa Grande, Costa Rica.

We had a group of 10 girls arrive for our stay but we had a bumpy ride getting to our visit due to airline delays. Cris was FABULOUS and accommodated all of our needs. The house was gorgeous and we had an amazing time at the Airbnb. Would highly recommend and use this Airbnb again.

The home was exceptional. Plenty of space for our family of 6. Beautiful, functional, full of great small amenities. Quick walk to an incredible beach, a mini-mart & local restaurants (Pots & Bowl, Las Olas, Onda). Cris & Yami provided great service. Cris was always quick to respond and provide recommendations. Great location to explore the surrounding areas (ATV excursion, La Leona, Playa Conchal, Tamarindo, horseback riding).
