Hotel Bula Bula Pool

Located in Playa Grande, on the Pacific Northwest of Costa Rica is Bula BUla Hotel. The 5 km white sand beach boasts one of the most consistent surf breaks in Costa Rica and is known for its great surf. The nearly private beach is also a terrific place to collect seashells and unwind. Hotel Bula Bula is located on the Tamarindo estuary about a 5 minute walk to the beach.

The hotel can arrange horseback riding, hiking in the cloud forests, and guided wildlife tours of the Tamarindo estuary. Or, you can spend the day in a hammock by the pool doing nothing more adventurous than taking in some sun and sipping one of our famous tropical martinis.

Hotel Bula Bula’s restaurant and bar, the Great Waltini’s, features a full bar and a simple but sumptuous menu. The mood is casual and friendly with attention to detail and service. Tamarindo is just a water taxi ride away and offers much to the tourist including: local art, culture, shopping, discos, live music, and a variety of bar and restaurant scenes.

Tours & Activities

Rincon de la Vieja
A magnificent opportunity to experience the mountains of Costa Rica, don’t miss the chance to hike the Rincon de la Vieja volcano. With trails that range from two hours to eight hours there is something for everyone’s fitness level. Choose to hike to the crater of the volcano or pick one of the many waterfalls to explore. You can also take a guided tour to the natural hot springs at the nearby Blue Lagoon. There is no better way to experience the various micro-climates of the Costa Rican mountains. Great day trip!

Estuary Tour
The Tamarindo estuary covers more than 1200 acres of purely salt water jungle and is the heart of the Tamarindo Wildlife Sanctuary. The boat leaves directly from the hotel and takes you on a magnificent wildlife expedition where you will see hundreds of species of animals and birds. You will also enjoy spectacular foliage made up of red, white, black, buttonwood and the rare tea mangroves.

Turtle Tour
Don’t miss this rare opportunity! Playa Grande is one of only three places in the world that the leather back turtle comes to nest on. These magnificent animals can measure up to 2.5 meters and weigh around 700 kilos. Unlike other turtles, this species has no hard shell, but rather a black, leathery skin with ridges running lengthwise. Nesting season is November through April.

Canopy Tour
An experience like no other, imagine yourself harnessed to a zip line, sailing through the tree tops spotting monkeys, birds and sloths. You will enjoy 23 different lines that offer magnificent views of the Pacific Ocean, a waterfall, many different types of wildlife and all of the fauna and flora of the northwest region of the country. Whether you’re a thrill seeker or a nature lover you’ll truly be swept away by this traditional Costa Rican tour.

Surfing
Just steps away from one of the most consistent beach breaks in Costa Rica, you’ll enjoy both lefts and rights that can hold up to almost double over-head. If variety is what you’re after; Playa Tamarindo, Playa Avellanas, Playa Langosta and Playa Negra are equally amazing and all just a short distance from Playa Grande as well as the world famous Witch’s Rock and Ollie’s Point. Surf lessons and equipment rentals are available.

Sunset Sailing
The perfect way to spend the day, you set sail aboard a beautiful 52 foot Beaufort yacht with delicious snacks and all the tropical drinks you desire. Once the captain finds the perfect snorkeling spot you are given equipment and the opportunity to explore the underwater world. The most colorful tropical fish, manta rays, and beautiful coral reef are just a few of the sites to see. Afterwards enjoy gourmet sandwiches and the sun setting as you head back to the marina. It is very common at this time of day for the dolphins to swim alongside and play with the boat. Discover what Costa Ricans mean by “Pura Vida”.

Kayaking
Rent a sea kayak and enjoy the day exploring the estuary or riding on the waves of the Ocean.

Yoga
