We loved our stay at Playa Nido!! It was so beautiful, clean, and peaceful. We visited Manuel Antonio National Park and Rainmaker Reserve during our stay, and otherwise just enjoyed the pool and beach walks. Note: the beach is not great for swimming due to riptide. The sunsets are amazing!! Jefferson and Luz are onsite and made us feel immediately welcome. The meals Luz provided were delicious. Would recommend and would love to return!

Finding a place for 3 generations of family is not always easy but this was a wonderful find. The beach is beautiful and very private with good boogie boarding waves. The property is a hidden little paradise. It is a 20 minute ride on a bumpy road to restaurants or groceries but with a little planning it’s easily taken care of. The onsite Caretakers are quite responsive and helpful, they also cooked some delicious dinners for all 14 of us. We would highly recommend staying there.

Amazing beautiful secluded place perfect for large groups. It felt like we had our own private beach. The houses had everything we needed, with a very practical layout. The staff were very kind and helpful, they live in a house right behind the 3 houses. Definitely recommend to anyone looking for a quiet beautiful get away right on the beach.

This was a wonderful stay! We were a large group of college friends and rented out all 3 casitas at the same time.The rooms were large and as described and the AC worked so well. Nothing fancy with the houses, but they did the job and the were a great respite from the heat with the ACs on. The place has a pool in the backyard, mostly in the shade in the afternoon which is actually quite nice from the harsh sun. The beach and ocean are right across the street and you pretty much have the beach to yourselves. our group spent most of our time swimming in the ocean rather than the pool. There is a rip current and can be some strong waves at times, just be aware with children. Luz and Jefferson were incredible caretakers of the property, working at all hours to ensure that it is maintained and looking nice. They cooked a wonderful meal for us and also built a bonfire on the last night! couldn't ask for better :)

We were three families and booked all three Casitas. The location is absolutely fabulous and can't be beat. The beach is stunning and access is terrific. The pool is somewhat small and in need of some maintenance but our kids spent hours in it and its terrifically shaded from the sun. The houses and grounds were clean and well maintained by Luz who was lovely and helped us with fishing tour and surfboard rentals as well as built us an amazing beach bonfire one evening which was a highlight of our trip. We did have her prepare a delicious meal the night we arrived but other nights we went out or cooked ourselves. Would recommend!
