Clean, comfy and large private room at Indra Inn

We had a wonderful three-night stay at Indra Inn! From booking to leaving, Natalia was the most kind and helpful host. She helped us with a late arrival, arranged transport and even did us a huge favor by making change for us (seems like a small thing but it saved us big time!). Coffee every morning was a perk and the shared kitchen was very helpful. The grounds are pristine, rooms were sparkling clean, AC worked like a dream, beds and pillows were super comfy and the hammock was a plus! The walk to the beach was about ten minutes. Great restaurants and mini mart just a minute away. Highly recommend for anyone going to Playa Grande! Thank you Natalia and Matthew, Pura Vida ❤️

A1! Fresh coffee every morning, clean and spacious room. Hammock on the terrace to watch the monkeys every late afternoon. We loved it.

A1! Café frais chaque matin, chambre propre et spacieuse. Hamac sur la terrasse pour regarder les singes  chaque fin d'après-midi. Nous avons adoré.

The place is very clean, excellent service

The room was perfect, clean, well air-conditioned and ventilated. A beautiful bathroom with a good shower and a large enough counter!! Just in front of the bedroom a table and two chairs for free coffee every morning!! Animals passing by (howler monkey). An outdoor shower to rinse off, the beach which is 8 minutes walk and offers magnificent sunsets, a well-equipped kitchen and cafes/restaurants/grocery stores around, and finally super welcoming and accessible hosts who offer brief recommendations I will definitely return if I return to Costa Rica! I would 100% recommend if this is what you need. Thanks Nathalia and Matthew!

La chambre était parfaite, propre, bien climatisée et ventilée. Une belle salle de bain avec une bonne douche et un comptoir suffisamment grand!! Juste au devant de la chambre une table et deux chaises pour y prendre un café offert gratuitement chaque matin!! Des animaux qui passent par là (singe hurleur). Une douche extérieure pour se rincer, la plage qui est 8 minutes à pied et qui offre de magnifiques couchers de soleil, une cuisine bien équipée et des cafés/restos/épiceries autour, et finalement des hôtes hyper accueillants et accessibles qui offrent des recommandations bref j’y retournerai certainement si je retourne au Costa Rica! Je recommande à 100% si cela correspond à vos besoins. Merci Nathalia et Matthew!

Excellent place and easy communication with the hosts, fabulous location if you want to visit beaches in the surroundings. Recommended.

Excelente lugar y fácil comunicación con los host, fabulosa ubicación si quieres visitar playas a los alrededores. Recomendado.

Really nice place 😍 I would definitely go there again

It is a place that is located near the beach and has the necessary amenities to rest.

Es un lugar que se encuentra cerca de la playa y cuenta con las comodidades necesarias para descansar.

We arrived at night, it was dark but Natalia’s radiating smile welcomed us. My young son and I were exhausted after a long day, and Natalia gave us a quick tour of the kitchen and WiFi instructions and let us get right to resting. When we walked into our air conditioned room, we were welcomed by some beautifully folded towels and an oh so comfortable bed. The hammocks outside of each room are superb. This place lives up to its wonderful reviews, and I highly recommend staying here.

I highly recommend Matthew's place! Beautiful room, very close to the beach and several awesome restaurants!

The Indra Inn is a lovely hotel/hostel for the community minded travel folks. We enjoyed the chance to meet people in the shared kitchen, the morning coffee hours, and the lovely outdoor shower area to remove the sand. There are great restaurants and surf shops right next door, and the playa is a short walk away. Matt and Natalia are very responsive and helpful. The only not great thing was the road is pretty close to the rooms, so make sure to bring ear plugs if you're sensitive to road noise.

apart from finding a cockroach on the bathroom, everything was perfect. Matt was helpful and friendly. although there is nothing much nearby. all the main attractions are in nearby tamarindo which is a 30 min drive and the roads are super bad. so location wise I'd have preferred to stay in tamarindo. but since this place was much cheaper I guess it all worked out.

Matthew and Natalia's place was excellent for us and they were perfect hosts.

This room is the perfect place for having a chilled and quiet time in Playa Grande. Everything is like described. Matthew and Natalia are super nice hosts. They respect your privacy but if you have questions they'll always be there for you! Thank you for everything, I hope to be back someday!

Absolute recommendation! Great starting point to explore Playa Grande + the surrounding beaches. Most beautiful sunset. Matthew & Natalie are super great hosts & insanely helpful The icing on the cake is the free breakfast. Rundum perfekt. Muchas Gracias

Absolute Empfehlung! Toller Ausgangspunkt um Playa Grande + die umliegenden Strände zu erkunden. Schönster Sonnenuntergang. Matthew & Natalie sind super tolle Gastgeber & wahnsinnig Hilfsbereit Das i-Tüpfelchen ist das kostenlose Frühstück. Rundum perfekt. Muchas Gracias

Great welcome from Matthew and Natalia! These are very nice and warm. Lunch included beyond our expectations, fresh fruit and main lunch choice! Less than a km from the beach which is not very busy compared to Playa Tamarindo. Recommended!

Excellent accueil de Matthew et Natalia! Ceux-ci sont très gentils et chaleureux. Déjeuner inclus au-delà de nos attentes, fruits frais et choix de déjeuner principal! À moins d'un kilomètre de la plage qui est peu achalandée comparativement à Playa Tamarindo. Je recommande!

Our stay here was wonderful!! Matthew and Natalia are great hosts and very kind people. The grounds are beautiful and well maintained! Also, it’s a very easy 10 minute walk from the beach. (For surfers) Matthew filled us in on the ins and outs of playa grande, which we appreciated. We will definitely be coming back here in the future!

Matt and Natalia were amazing. This space is gorgeous. Matt helped me with all the things i wanted to do. i can't wait to go back! Thank you beautiful humans.

Matt and Natalia are great hosts who welcomed us into their combined hotel and home. They are very friendly and helpful, easy to communicate and conversate with, and were very helpful with good tips and arranging activities. It was a delight eating Natalia's wholesome breakfast by the communal kitchen. A good start of every morning. Indra inn is right along the main road in to the national park, but was not something I made much notice of, once inside their beautiful garden.

We had a great stay! Actually too short. Wish we could have stayed longer. Great location just a few minute walk from the National Park/beach. Very secure. Matt met us as we pulled in and walked us threw everything. Very nice shared kitchen, common area to mingle,  and individual parking spots. There is a great restaurant next door as well. Breakfast was awesome as well. Highly recommend staying here!

Indra Inn is a great place to stay in Playa Grande, 10 min walk to the main surf break, close to restaurants and shops, just down the road from the brewery.  Natalia and Matt are excellent hosts, very attentive and helpful setting up rides, Covid tests, etc…they run a very nice Inn. Highly recommend.

Very nice place to disconnect from the noise of the city and relax.

Muy bonito lugar para desconectar del ruido de la ciudad y relajarse.

I happily chose Indra Inn because of their reviews. This time I chose to not rent a car. Getting around was so easy on foot. Breakfast was a choice of granola and Yogurt or Eggs. We also enjoyed Coffee, tea, orange juice, toast and jams. 7:30 - 9:30. The room had a double bed and single bed. Private bathroom with a larger shower. each room also had a patio area complete with a table, two chairs and a hammock. This was perfect for outdoor relaxing. For cooling, a very large ceiling fan and a mini split AC unit. Leave your novels at home!!!! There are board games and lots of novels available. I met other guests from so many places over breakfast. There is a well equipped kitchen that you can cook or reheat food. A large fridge for storing cold items. I ran out of time to taste all of the food choices within walking distance. Los Olas microbrewery is about a 5 minute walk to the east. The small grocery store is 3 minutes west. Bikes, surf boards and beach chairs can be rented locally for your stay. Indra has beach towels for use. I loved it and will be back!!!

Beautiful place, very central. Matthew and Natalia are very attentive and Pura Vida people. Safe and very nice place.

Precioso lugar muy céntrico. Matthew y Natalia son personas muy atentas y pura vida. Lugar seguro y muy agradable.

If you’re ok with a slight walk to beach compared to some other locations on the water, then this is one of the best places to stay in Playa Grande. It’s central (within 200m) to a handful or restaurants, brewery, and mini market. The common kitchen is also very handy when you want to save some money and cook your own meals. It has a strong community/hostel vibe, but with private rooms. Matt and Natalia are very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable of the area and surrounding areas. They went above and beyond to ensure my extended stay (3 weeks) was as pleasant as possible. Cannot recommend the Indra Inn highly enough.

Excellent hosts, clean room, and very close to the beach.

Great place! Matthew and Natalia are wonderful hosts and the location of the inn is amazing. Las Olas brewery is a must!

The place is really beautiful. Matthew and Natalia are great hosts. Would definetely come back again. Thanks for the stay!

It’s been a really nice time at Indra Inn! The owners area super friendly and helpful :) The Hammock infront of the room was my favorite place. The kitchen was super clean and the beach very close! Everything you need (supermarket, good waves, restaurants) is in walking distance. Thanks for the good time!

Pros: The place is quite clean The beach is close by It is very nice. Quite quiet at night as other people are not allowed to make noise after 7pm Cons: Breakfast is not bad but it can be improved. Definitely if you are looking for a comfortable place to sleep, this is a very good option.

Pros: El lugar es bastante limpio La playa esta cerca Es muy bonito Bastante silencioso por las noches ya que no se permite que la demás personas hagan ruido después de las 7pm Contras: El desayuno no es malo pero puede mejorar. Sin lugar a duda si lo que buscas es un lugar cómodo para llegar a dormir, esta es una muy buena opción.

Matthew and Natalia's place is like a little paradise of plants and nature close to the beach. I highly recommend it.

El lugar de Matthew y Natalia es como un pequeño paraiso de plantas y naturaleza cerca de la playa. Lo recomiendo mucho.

Indra Inn is chill and nice. Just like Playa Grande. It was really nice to be here in the off season. We had beaches to ourselves and the pace areas suuuuupeer slow. Mathew and Natalia were great to chat with and the property is perfect. Both hot showers (not really needed) and AC worked great!

they were absolutely amazing. such a sweet bilingual couple. they’re more than willing to offer their assistance. The location is everything, so close to everything and not far from playa tamariendo itself. There is a bakery, 4 restaurants, a SMALL store (minimal items) and the beach all within 5 minutes walking. you can even rent surfboards and bikes right next door. there is another established supermarket about 10 minutes walking. The couple is sweet and they will provide you with extra towels, or beach towels, they have maps in the room and are there for whatever questions you have.

Hotel near the large beach and 40 minutes from Tamarindo beach, quite comfortable with all the amenities, they took great care of us and the breakfast was very delicious.

Hotel cerca de la playa grande y a 40 minutos de playa tamarindo, bastante cómodo con todas las amenidades, nos atendieron muy bien y el desayuno muy rico.

Everything was clean, the room was exactly as described. Matthew and Natalia were super nice and gave us great recommendations of the best beaches around. Overall an awesome stay, which I would definitly recommend

Very convenient accommodation, just what one needs if you just want to spend the night and rest. The atmosphere inside the hotel is one of peace and privacy, it has all the amenities you need and at a very good price. Breakfast is fair. I would go again if I have the chance.

Hospedaje muy conveniente, justo lo que necesita uno si sólo quiere pasar la noche y descansar. El ambiente dentro del hotel es de paz y privacidad, tiene todos los servicios que se necesita y a un muy buen precio. El desayuno es justo. Volvería a ir si tengo la oportunidad.

Best airbnb stay we have ever had! Highly recommend to everyone.

It is a wonderful hotel, recommended for all audiences and they have great hosts!

¡Es un Hotel Maravilloso, recomendado para todo público y cuentan con excelentes anfitriones!

Nat & Matt are incredible, we were very comfortable in their accommodation, they give excellent recommendations and hospitality is unbeatable, they supported us at all times, it is very nice to meet people like them. We highly recommend staying with them, the place is very nice and very close to a large beach and the rest of the beaches are not far away.

Nat & Matt son increibles, nosotros estuvimos muy agusto en su alojamiento, dan excelentes recomendaciones y hospitalidad es inmejorable, nos apoyaron en todo momento, es muy grato conocer personas como ellos. Recomendamos ampliamente hospedarse con ellos, el lugar es muy bonito y miy cercano a playa grande y rl resto de las playas no quedan lejos.

Excellent attention and service from the hosts. The place is very cute, comfortable, clean, and Petfriendly. We loved our stay and look forward to coming back soon

Excelente atención y servicio por parte de los anfitriones. El lugar es muy lindo, cómodo, limpio y Petfriendly. Nos encantó nuestra estadía y esperamos volver pronto

I enjoyed the stay, staff was really friendly. Great value for your money.

Matt and Natalia are very helpful and friendly! The room and kitchen are always clean. The location is very cool. There are restaurants around, a little shop and its only a 10 min walk to the beach. We would definitly come again!

Matt and Natalia's is a great place to stay with easy access to the beach at a reasonable price. Everyone we met there was friendly, we loved drinking our coffee in the morning and enjoying the included breakfast in the courtyard. The hammocks are a great place to lounge and read and we also enjoyed the chess set. It is a bit of a walk to the beach but well worth it - we went 2x a day! The restaurants in the area are also great - we particularly liked Pots and Bowls and the pizza place.

Excellent service. Very good location, close to the beach.

Excelente trato. Muy buena ubicación, cerca de la playa.

The bed and breakfast is simple but has what we need: good location and air-conditioning. It is a short walk from Praia Grande, where this one is very good for surfing . The hosts are very helpful and friendly. The mattresses on the bed are spring-loaded and are a little too soft, for some people it can be a problem. The value is really good. If you're looking for luxury, that's not your place. I'd stay there again!

A pousada é simples mas tem o que precisamos: boa localização e ar condicionado. Fica a uma curta caminhada da Praia Grande, onde essa é muito boa para surfar . Os anfitriões são muito solícitos e simpáticos. Os colchões da cama são de mola e são um pouco moles demais, para algumas pessoas pode ser um problema. O custo benefício é muito bom. Se vc está procurando luxo, esse não é seu lugar. Me hospedaria lá novamente!

Great place with great vibes! Matt and Natalia are very accommodating and hospitable, offering great local advice. Amazing breakfast and welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommend to anyone who wants a quiet, relaxing getaway near great surf and amazing food!

A cozy place where they make you feel comfortable, safe and super attentive to everything, the pizzeria next door is phenomenal!!!

Un lugar acogedor donde te hacen sentir cómodo, seguro y super atentos con todo, la pizzeria de junto es fenomenal!!!

Pros- location, good break fast, Matt let me use his hot spot when WiFi was not working. Cons - bed sheet had 2 long strains of hair on the sheet, and looks like it was not washed from the previous guests stay; WiFi did not connect for me to talk to my family over Skype / I could not book my airline ticket

The sheets are washed everytime. We have never in 8 years not washed the sheets. Your attitude was extremely aggressive.

Awrsome family style B&B located a short pleasant walk from beautiful beach. Nice spacious ensuite room with patio area to relax in garden setting. Gr8b communal seating area and kitchen too. Matthew & Natalie are both super warm and welcoming. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay...which I extended and definitely recommend

We staid here during rainy week and we really enjoyed relax in hammock. Kitchen is fully equiped and breakfast was delicious. Math and Natalia are very nice people. Highly recommend this place.

Amazing experience and an amazing environment at the Indra Inn. The garden was beautiful and the hosts were fantastic. Great vibrations flow through this place and they will flow right into you the moment you arrive. Breakfasts are served with TLC every morning. Fresh fruit on the side. The surfing is fantastic too and only a short walk to the break. Just loved the place. I’ll be back with the family for sure and will return again and again.

Matthew and Natalia’s hostel is simply amazing. The place looks great and is well taken care of, as well as the rooms. Both owners are awesome and shared with us a couple of good tips that made our stay at Playa Grande a lot better. We definitely recommend the place to anyone !

This place is perfect - close to the beach, restaurants and shops and all you need to experience the locale.  Common area is very unique with a small garden, hammocks, games, books etc.  Great hosts and use of the common kitchen  made not having a fridge in the room no biggie.  Would definitely stay here again - we stayed at three places on the week and this was our favourite.

Great space, quick walk to the beach, ability to cook, book exchange, lovely breakfast, monkeys in the tree next door! highly recommended, would happily go back, very lovely family.

Lovely and homely place. Hosts are available to help you plan your stay. The lunches are very good.

Endroit charmant et accueillant. Les hôtes sont disponibles pour vous aider à organiser votre séjour. Les déjeuners sont très bons.

It was a great place to stay. I recommend it!

An absolutely perfect place to stay during your trip to Playa Grande! The hosts and hotel staff are fantastic, extremely attentive, kind, and willing to go above and beyond to ensure your stay is as enjoyable as possible! We loved the freshly prepared breakfast every morning, the rooms were clean and comfortable, and the location is excellent. An easy 10 minute walk to the beach and in the immediate vicinity of a great pizza/Italian restaurant, coffee shop, and surf shop.  We felt completely safe on the property and wouldn't hesitate to stay again when we return to Playa Grande.  Gracias Matt, Natalia, Dante y todos!

Great hostel in a small village! The rooms are quite big and clean. The hosts are super nice, helpful and provide you with tips for the area. It's a few minutes walk to the beach. We would definitely come back.

Tolles Hostel in einem kleinen Örtchen! Die Zimmer sind recht groß und sauber. Die Hosts sind super nett, hilfsbereit und versorgen einen mit Tipps für die Umgebung. Bis zum Strand sind es nur wenige Gehminuten. Wir würden aufjedenfall wieder kommen.

Cozy, quiet place, good service, very close to large beach, thank you Matthew and Natalia

Lugar acogedor, tranquilo, buena atención, muy cercano a playa grande, gracias Matthew y Natalia

If you stay here to surf daily make sure have a car or rent a bike with board rack and good lock. Also most of the surf shops don't open till 9am for board rental so plan accordingly if you want dawn sesh.

Hi Mia, thanks so much for staying with us and thanks for leaving a review. Good point and the walk to the beach. It's a 10 minute casual walk, just lile it says in our description. Keep that in mind if you have a heavy longboard. Thanks again for everything.

Matthew and Natalia are wonderful hosts. They offered us so much insight into surfing as well as travelling around Costa Rica. Natalia's breakfast was the perfect way to start the day! The hammocks all over the property are so nice to chill out on and read a book. The WiFi was good and reached our room which was very useful and we had a safe spot to park our rental car. Would go back in a heart beat.

Natalia and Matthew are super nice hosts who not only helped with tips, but also always had time for a nice chat. Our 9-month-old son was also well cared for and spotted, so definitely also the right choice for families!

Natalia und Matthew sind super nette Hosts, die nicht nur mit Tipps geholfen haben, sondern auch immer Zeit für einen netten Chat hatten. Auch unser 9 Monate alter Sohn wurde gut umsorgt und bespaßt, also definitiv auch für Familien die richtige Wahl!

They are an awesome couple . They will treat you like you be at home !

A perfect place for a quite retreat. The place is clean and the rooms quite comfortable.

A very nice place with a great location. Breakfast is great for starting the day! We had a very nice stay thanks to the tips of our hosts!

Lugar muy agradable y con muy buena ubicación. Los desayunos son excelentes para iniciar el día! Pasamos una estancia muy agradable gracias a los tips de nuestros host!

The location is quite accessible, there are several shops and beaches close by. The rooms and facilities  are super comfortable and having breakfast included makes one carefree and go to the beach with a full belly and happy heart for sure, my boyfriend and I will ❤️ definitely be back ✨🍃

La ubicación es bastante accesible, hay varios comercios y playas cerca. Las habitaciones e instalaciones  son súper cómodas y el tener el desayuno incluido hace que uno se despreocupe de eso y vaya a la playa con la panza llena y el corazón contento ❤️ sin duda, mi novio y yo volveremos ✨🍃
