We had our small wedding here and it was truly magical! The property is gorgeous and is steps from the beach. Our family and friends had a wonderful experience. The host, Manfred, was very communicative and helpful throughout our planning process and we are very grateful.

I hosted a women's movement and healing retreat and this place was perfect!! It was super private and serene. Our house chef, Alcira and her mom cooked every meal for us and the food was incredible. Manfred, the home owner, was responsive to our every need before and during our stay. Highly recommend this beautiful and unique property and location.

lovely beach chic property with amazing pool, great cleaning and cooking staff. lovely people who are quick to respond to your needs. This is my second time using this property to host my surf retreats, and the guests absolutely love it.

There were 16 of us and we all had a blast. It is very secluded yet close enough to Playa Grande beach, and a short walk to cross over the estuary by small boats. Walking and boarding the boats are not for the physically impaired. The staff did their job and Alcira, our cook did a phenomenal job. Our concierge Alonso took care of all the small issues that can pop up.

An amazing property for large groups in Palm Beach estates. Manfred and Ana are great hosts, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and can't wait to go back.

Our group has been visiting this property for 2 years, and it's a great fit for us! It's magical and right on the water. The communication with the owners is outstanding, and they work hard to accommodate us!

We rented both properties for our large group of 32 guests and had plenty of room for everyone. Manfred was great at answering my msg's before and during our trip. The chef service was wonderfully delicious. The only think I would change is adding more meals. The grounds staff was friendly and attentive. Honestly, I can't say enough about our stay. We would book this again.

This was much better than expected and everything was so easy. Would come back in a heartbeat and thank you to the host and his team for making it an unforgettable trip.

We loved our time at casa guayacan. The concierge was wonderful and helped us coordinate everything we needed with the personal chef (who we also loved) - and all staff was friendly and responsive. The place itself felt so private and the pool and space around it incredibly relaxing and safe, which was important with two kids under 3. Would definitely return!

We had 27 members of our family stay for the week. The location was amazing on a secluded beach and close to town. Accommodations were comfortable. We had the cooks fix a few of our meals when we weren't out on adventures. A great place.

Absolutely gorgeous location! Beach feels almost private with great waves for surfing and boarding. House is great for big groups, staff is very supportive and responds quickly to all needs! Estuary is short walk and boat rides to Tamarindo are super easy! Living space is open air so it is warm but the bedrooms stay very cool and comfortable! Pool is awesome and grounds are well kept. Highly recommend this house!

My organization puts on cancer survivor retreats, and we decided to try Casa Guyacuan. It worked so well for our group! What a tranquil, quite, sizable place. The staff was there for anything we needed, and we felt very taken care of. We will continue using this location!

We brought 28 people to stay for fun and play and boy did this property not disappoint! We rented out both parts of the property- double the fun. The property was well kept, communication on WhatsApp with house manager and staff was seamless. The beach is private with little traffic, the softest sand and great waves to catch. The pools were fantastic and the houses and bungalows were perfect for our guests. Would stay at this location again.

A perfect location for a family vacation! We were a family if 9 adults and 9 children ages 3 to 13. We all loved the beach enjoying the shell hunting and playing in the waves. The sunsets were spectacular! The pool is large with plenty of room to play. We had breakfast and dinner prepared by Alcira and team. The food was great and so graciously prepared.

The location and amenities were more than perfect for our wedding weekend, and everyone at the facility was incredibly helpful with little details such as water and electricity. Cabo Velas was truly a magical place for our big day! It was the perfect spot to show our family from the US what authentic Costa Rica is really like! No tourists crowding, no resorts - just beautiful nature and calm/secluded cabins and house! -Luis & Emily

This property is one of a kind totally private, gorgeous grounds, made for rest with lots of variety between pool, lounges, hammocks and a shady pool. The surf is booming right outside the windows, and is almost private with huge swath of beachfront and just amazing waves and warm water. The cooks and staff are responsive and almost invisible. There’s everything you need to be comfortable and have a great vacation, what a special place!

Our group of 10 had an amazing week in this beautiful home! The layout with each bedroom having it's own bathroom was great. There were multiple areas to lounge around and relax outside of the bedrooms as well. Nothing can beat the private path that is literally steps to the beach and an excellent surf break. As some of our group surfed, others watched them from the comfort of the 2nd story lounge area. The pool is huge and the covered portion was nice when we had too much sun. We had Alcira cook breakfast each day and dinner for a couple of the nights. If we could do it again, we'd have her make dinner every night. She made the most amazing meals and was one of my personal highlights of the trip. Beautiful platters of fresh fruit every morning, perfectly made eggs, the most delicious rice and beans. It was amazing food and so much easier having her team do the shopping, cooking and cleaning. Sher helped us with our excursions which was nice too. We went fishing and took a morning catamaran tour with Panache.The only cons to the house were the yoga platform was not open during our stay. There is no dishwasher in the home or access to a washer and dryer. You will pay 10 a bag to have laundry done for you. Not a big deal, but good to know upfront. Overall, I would highly recommend this home to anyone visiting Playa Grande. You will not be disappointed!

Location: 10/10. Couldn't ask for a better spot. It's far enough out of the way that there are hardly any people on the beach (seriously, it felt like a private beach), but if you want to go out for lunch or shopping, you can walk a short way down the beach and take a 2, 2 minute long boat ride to bustling Tamarindo. This is a big advantage of being at the south end of Playa Grande. Service: 10/10. Between concierge, Sher, who took care of our every need, the friendly housekeepers, and Leo and the maintenance team who took care of the grounds and the pool, we felt very well taken care of. Although we had several issues with the house during our stay (all within reason for a house in the jungle - ants appearing from nowhere, a shower that didn't work, etc), each of those issues were taken care of promptly (like, within 15 minutes or less!)Chef: 10/10 If you are debating about hiring Alcira, the chef, don't hesitate! The food was delicious, fresh and plentiful at every meal. We originally only intended to hire her for a few nights, but ended up requesting extra nights . Highly recommended!House/Facilities: 8/10 The house itself is spacious and comfortable and has rustic character. However, there are a few things that could be done to make the stay even better. Some of that sheets and blankets seem worn (although they were very clean), we had an issue with water leaks and the patio doors are old and hard to open. Some new cushions and a few fixes would make it a 10.

This is our second time at this amazing and beautiful property! We had 27 family members that enjoyed all of the bungalows and the beach house. I love where this property is located. Short walk to Tamarindo via the estuary crossing, and the quiet, tranquil beach life on Playa grande. The amazing and surprising thing we experienced this year is the new building on the south end of the property. A nice gorgeous pool setting and a central dining location with a yoga deck on top. Brand new! And we used it every day. So much fun! The communication with Manfred has always been very prompt, professional, and helpful. We always felt very safe and all our needs were met. If you want an authentic Costa Rica vibe to your vacation, book this place! I hope and wish that we will return.

Good Aspects: lots of room for large groups. Large fans in common areas helped with airflow. Good air conditioning all bedrooms. Good size pool. Beach literally on doorstep. Sufficient cups/ plates all guests. Nice selection of kitchen appliances. Sheets clean and additional supplies given when requested. Negative Aspects: (not withstanding the fact 11 of our guests were stricken with food poisoning)No one there to greet you on arrival. No-one to contact in an emergency situation to ask for advice. Loud construction of building behind pool - I think meant to be workout yoga area - inaccessible. Thankfully no noise on Sat or Sun.Overall neglect of property. All common area seating shabby and dirty looking. Only thin covers on beds - when stripped before leaving many pillows stained underneath covers. Tiles missing in pool. Floors dirty and wood floors rough uncomfortable to walk bare foot. Garbage receptacle by beach access not emptied during entire stay. One set of doors unable to be locked when leaving property or at night. Windows of one room did not seal properly. This property needs some TLC - felt run down

One of our favorite aspects was taking advantage of Alcira and her staff for cooking our meals. We had 7 breakfasts, 4 lunches and 7 dinners. All were delicious and special. We felt so pampered. Alcira and Mariella were like family! Staff were so attentive in cleaning every morning, and we had them do our laundry several times. The property is a bit rustic, but we were aware of this and were fine with it. (You will likely share your space with crabs and geckos. ) Owner, Manfred was immediately responsive via onsite staff for any questions, repairs, etc. Close by shops and restaurants available in Tamarindo via the water taxis (daylight hours). Walk up the beach to a nearby market and cafe in the Palm Beach neighborhood. Mandred hooked us up with Playa Grande Shuttles and Tours for airport transport and for many great excursions. We didn’t rent a car at all.
