Hotel Bula Bula is located in Playa Grande, on the Pacific Northwest of Costa Rica. The 5 kilometer white sand beach boasts one of the most consistent surf breaks in Costa Rica and is known for incredible barrels. The nearly private beach is also a terrific place to unwind and collect seashells. Tamarindo, a town featured in the surfing movie Endless Summer II is just across the estuary. We are on the Tamarindo estuary (where the Pacific ocean extends inland to meet the mouth of the Rio Matapalo) and about a 5 minute walk to the beach. We can arrange horseback riding, hiking in the cloud forests, and guided wildlife tours of the Tamarindo estuary. Or, you can while away the day in a hammock by the pool doing nothing more adventurous than sipping one of our famous tropical martinis. Hotel Bula Bula’s nightlife rivals the wildlife. Our own restaurant and bar, the Great Waltini’s, features a full bar and a simple to sumptuous menu. Our mood is casual, friendly elegance with attention to detail and service. Tamarindo is just a water taxi ride away and offers local art, culture, shopping and entertainment -- discos, live music, and a variety of bar and restaurant scenes. Bula Bula is a phrase common to many world cultures generally meaning the point where your body and soul can be described as “Happy, Happy.” Experience a bit of Bula Bula for yourself.
