Nammbú Beachfront Bungalows

Playa Carrillo:

Playa Carrillo is the type of beach you see on postcards and nowadays on Instagram. The idyllic horseshoe-shaped bay is surrounded by palm trees that sway in the breeze, while the sun’s rays glitter in the turquoise sea.

There are no hotels or restaurants right on the beach. The few hotels that are here enjoy a somewhat secluded location, and you can either walk to the beach or take a taxi. The local Costa Ricans also come here and use the beach as a favourite picnic spot on Sundays, bringing their own food and beach chairs with them.

The wide sandy beach is very child-friendly as the water is relatively calm and shallow.

The town of Carrillo has a chilled atmosphere and just a small selection of shops and restaurants. We recommend a trip to Playa Sámara, a mere 10-15 minute drive from Carrillo, where you can shop in the small shops along the town’s main street and have dinner right on the beach.

Playa Carrillo is for those who wish to round off their Costa Rica tour in peaceful, bounty beach surroundings, where relaxing is the keyword.

Hotel description:

The family-owned hotel Nammbú Beachfront Bungalows is located on a small hill, just a few hundred metres from the beautiful beach Playa Carrillo. From here, you have a stunning view over Carrillo Bay, with its white, undisturbed sandy beach with turquoise waters and lush green surroundings as a backdrop.

The hotel consists of thatched bungalows in earthy colours, housing 63 spacious rooms. All rooms have comfortable beds, a sofa, a desk, a minibar and fridge, a safe, air conditioning, a flat screen TV, a telephone, a coffee maker and an en suite bathroom with hair dryer. There is also a balcony or terrace for each room, where you can sit and relax while enjoying the scenic surroundings.

In the hotel restaurant, you can enjoy your breakfast (included) either inside or out on the covered terrace with a magnificent view. The restaurant also serves both local Costa Rican dishes and dishes inspired by Western cuisine. If you fancy an exotic cocktail, simply order one at the hotel’s small bar, located next to the pool.

If pure relaxation is the order of the day, you can float in the pool or just rest in the sun loungers while enjoying the beach view. You can also sit in the lounge with a good book or take a towel under your arm and sit under a swaying palm tree on the beautiful beach.

If you feel the need to be active, you can rent a bicycle or book surfing lessons and outdoor yoga classes at the hotel.
