Great vibes, beautiful location just steps from the beach, unique lodgings and fun common areas to hang out. We can’t say enough about this gem of a place. We ate dinner down the way at the Swells Cafe Playa Grande. This is a very special place to be! I plan on returning in the future. Hopefully sooner than later. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/025eb1a7-fef9-4fa8-b005-5d78c78ef2d9-1758206321602.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/3a3f25d9-9cef-44a2-9d6b-5ed0ea7e1d48-1758206320291.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/0fdddad8-b0cb-44d4-b5f7-1f710add0329-1758206321851.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/818cac78-1d81-49b7-9e56-e81e006b0372-1758206320591.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Gina Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Reid Dec 30, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great property, peaceful and away from busy Tamarindo.

I would recommand strongly for the price ! ##### Maxime Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ava Dec 22, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This hostel is perfect for meeting like minded people—you get your own sleeping space and get to meet new friends in the common spaces. Breakfast is wonderful, it’s a 30second walk from the beach, has AC, it felt safe and inviting, and the host is amazing. He’s around to check in and does a great job of making you feel comfortable! I highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a quieter place to stay in Costa Rica. The water taxi to busy Tamarindo is only a 5 minute walk down the beach! I will definitely be back. ##### Ava Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Robert Feb 9, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Perfect spot if your looking to surf and hang out on the beach. Close enough to Tamarindo if you need access to certain things but far enough from the crowds.

Best fit for young travelers looking for a youth hostel type environment. Hip place. We didn’t sleep very well in the tubes but we’re likely spoiled by bug beds and room to spread out. We felt very safe there and would definitely suggest to youthful travelers. ##### Jonah Stayed 1 night in Apr 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Shelby Mar 12, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Such a unique experience! Pipehouse feels like a home away from home. It’s very intimate and amazing access to the beach! Tamarindo is only a 10-15 minute walk away which gives you perfect balance of bustling crowds and your own quiet paradise. The Staff are lovely and the owner is extremely helpful and accommodating. Absolutely will be coming back! ##### Shelby Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michelle Apr 19, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Amazing place..:.the pipes are a unique concept. The beds are very comfortable and the pipes are air conditioned. The breakfast is cooked in front of you and is delicious the cooks even make homemade tortillas right there. The beach is amazing it is so peaceful and quiet (if you want a busy more resort fill you can take the water taxi over to Tamarindo) There are beautiful shells all over this beach and the sand is amazing. Phillipe the owner provided surf lessons right in-front of the property for a fee…my daughter had a surf lesson and it was excellent! Definitely a wonderful place to stay in a amazing location with the nicest people. As other have described it feels like a boutique hotel… ##### Michelle Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jamie Feb 19, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We stumbled upon this place online after not being able to find accomodation in Tamarindo and I am so happy about that and I cannot say enough great things. Felipe the owner is so friendly and helpful, the staff as well. Breakfast is included - simple but good. The Pipes are more spacious then they look and all have a/c. The vibe is friendly and low key. There is a gym, hammocks and is a 1 min walk to the beach. You are close enough that you can hear the waves crashing on the beach when you are in bed at night. You can take surf lessons or just hire a board for $10\. There is a couple amazing restaurants close by and a small market. Just a short walk down the beach and you can take a $2 water taxi accross the estuary to Tamarindo. The ferry stops running at 5 so make sure you are back or you have to take a cab (45min drive) to get back here. The beach here is so quiet compared to Tamarindo and you can swim safely. I would definitely recommend staying ##### Jamie Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### katarina Jan 13, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Recomiendo!!

The location is amazing right on a quiet section of Playa Grande, which has better surf and less people and noise than nearby Tamarindo. Very friendly and helpful host. There is a kitchen you can use to prepare meals, a spacious covered area to relax, a gym area with weights and yoga mats, and a beautiful courtyard with hammocks. The parking is safe and behind a coded gate. Great cafe nearby with great happy hour specials. ##### Tiffany Stayed 1 night in Apr 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lorraine Apr 1, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The Pipehouse is a gem. Such a quaint spot with a great vibe. The pipes are so cozy and the atmosphere is amazing. A great communal spot to relax in and meet new people. The kitchen is stocked with lots of supplies to cook a meal if you want to. The beach is steps away. Filipe and family are very inviting and make your stay the best. I would highly recommend. ##### Lorraine Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### lauren Feb 6, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Pipe House is Incredible!

Disfrutamos mucho nuestra estancia. El espacio de la habitación esta limitado por la misma estructura que tiene sin embargo resultó muy cómodo y agradable para descansar. Las áreas comunes muy espaciosas, tanto el comedor como la cocina, la cual es super amplia y con todo el menaje necesario para preparar y guardar tus alimentos. Igual el área de descanso muy bonito. Los baños y duchas cómodos y muy limpios. En general todo el lugar muy ordenado y muy limpio, todos los dias llegaron a limpiar y a desinfectar. Prácticamente frente a la mejor zona de la playa lo hace el lugar ideal para visitar. 💯 ##### Annette Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Mar 27, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Very close to the beach - pipes were perfectly cozy to sleep in! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Mar 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andrew Mar 16, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great Cool place.

Pipe was clean and bed was confortable except that the air conditioning remote gets crazy at night. Location is not directly on the beach as we thought but it is within 30 seconds walk. The host was great too. You can directly rent a surfboard from him. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Dec 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### joanne Jul 3, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great experience Had an excellent stay at the Pipe House with my daughter. It was a unique experience and idea in a very relaxed atmosphere. It’s close to the beach and easily accessible from the busy Tamarindo via 1$ water taxi and 10 min walk along the beautiful beach to the hostel so great if you are back packing. Area has a couple restaurants/cafes as well. Host was very friendly, helpful, and flexible with check in/out and Pipe House, kitchen etc was clean and comfortable. Would def recommend if your looking for something different and quiet. Thanks for the stay! ##### joanne Stayed 1 night in Jun 2018 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Bahia del Sol Beach Front Boutique Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Potrero-Hotels-Bahia-Del-Sol-Beach-Front-Boutique-Hotel.h1190047.Hotel-Information) > > [Upscale Two-Bedroom Condo in Playa Flamingo with Beautiful Oceanfront Views](https://www.expedia.ca/Cabo-Velas-Hotels-Beautiful.h34095106.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Bosque del Mar, Playa Hermosa](https://www.expedia.ca/Playa-Hermosa-Hotels-Hotel-Bosque-Del-Mar.h113407.Hotel-Information) > > [Dunama Ocean View Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Playa-Flamingo-Hotels-Paradise-Flamingo-Beach-Hotel.h5125672.Hotel-Information) > > [Secrets Papagayo - Adults Only - All inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Papagayo-Hotels-Secrets-Papagayo-Adults-Only.h10650279.Hotel-Information) > > [El Mangroove Papagayo, Autograph Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Papagayo-Hotels-El-Mangroove-Papagayo.h6052327.Hotel-Information) > > [Casa Chameleon Hotel Las Catalinas - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.ca/Las-Catalinas-Hotels-Casa-Chameleon-Hotel-Las-Catalinas-Adults-Only.h17239217.Hotel-Information) > > [Pacifico Resort Condominiums](https://www.expedia.ca/Coco-Hotels-Pacifico-Resort-Condominiums.h15992557.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Resort Peninsula Papagayo, Costa Rica](https://www.expedia.ca/Papagayo-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Resort-Costa-Rica.h984916.Hotel-Information) > > [Condovac la Costa](https://www.expedia.ca/Playa-Hermosa-Hotels-Condovac-La-Costa.h12534581.Hotel-Information) > > [Conchal Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Brasilito-Hotels-Conchal-Hotel.h6139888.Hotel-Information) > > [Margaritaville Beach Resort Playa Flamingo](https://www.expedia.ca/Playa-Flamingo-Hotels-Margaritaville-Beach-Resort-Playa-Flamingo.h189539.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Palace Costa Rica - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/El-Ocotal-Hotels-Hotel-Riu-Palace-Costa-Rica-All-Inclusive.h5431338.Hotel-Information) > > [Playa Lagarto Eco Development](https://www.expedia.ca/Marbella-Hotels-Playa-Lagarto-Eco-Development.h19979634.Hotel-Information) > > [Occidental Papagayo - Adults Only - All inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Panama-Beach-Hotels-Occidental-Papagayo-Adults-Only-All-Inclusive.h659642.Hotel-Information) > > [Reserva Conchal Resort - Carao Complex](https://www.expedia.ca/Brasilito-Hotels-Ocean-View-Luxury-Penthouse-Carao-A14.h74567119.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Colono Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Coco-Hotels-Hotel-Colono-Beach.h11027402.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Villa del Sueño](https://www.expedia.ca/Playa-Hermosa-Hotels-Hotel-Villa-Del-Sueno.h19326374.Hotel-Information) > > [Santarena Hotel at Las Catalinas](https://www.expedia.ca/Las-Catalinas-Hotels-Santarena-Hotel-At-Las-Catalinas.h30440211.Hotel-Information) > > [CC Beach Front Papagayo All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Papagayo-Hotels-Casa-Conde-Beach-Front-Hotel.h1333932.Hotel-Information) > > [Villas Sol Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Playa-Hermosa-Hotels-Villas-Sol-Hotel-And-Beach-Resort-All-Inclusive.h1810654.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Guanacaste - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/El-Ocotal-Hotels-Riu-Guanacaste-All-Inclusive.h2818771.Hotel-Information) > > [Bahia Pez Vela Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/El-Ocotal-Hotels-Bahia-Pez-Vela-Resort.h1118962.Hotel-Information) > > [Planet Hollywood Costa Rica by Royalton, An Autograph Collection All-Inclusive Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Papagayo-Hotels-Planet-Hollywood-Beach-Resort-Costa-Rica-All-Inclusive.h21882911.Hotel-Information) > > [Papagayo Golden Palms Beachfront Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Panama-Beach-Hotels-Papagayo-Golden-Palms-Beachfront-Hotel.h14872316.Hotel-Information) > > [Flamingo Marina Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Playa-Flamingo-Hotels-Flamingo-Marina-Resort.h5164682.Hotel-Information) > > [Casas del Toro Playa Flamingo](https://www.expedia.ca/Playa-Flamingo-Hotels-Casas-Del-Toro-Playa-Flamingo.h8981765.Hotel-Information) > > [The Palms At Coco Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Coco-Hotels-The-Palms-At-Coco-Beach.h4434186.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Villa Del Sol](https://www.expedia.ca/Coco-Hotels-Hotel-Villa-Del-Sol.h16081830.Hotel-Information)
