OUR STORY

The history of our place dates back approximately 30 years ago when it was originally constructed using the finest local essences of almond tree and teak. At that time, the newly established guesthouse was given the name "Rancho del Diablo" which, when translated, means "hut of the devil.".

According to a local legend, the initial design of the building featured a mural depicting powerful waves and mischievous devils attempting to surf them.

​

After some time, the ownership of the guesthouse changed hands, and it came under the management of a legendary surfer named John Wood Logan, III, affectionately known as "Logie." Recognizing the charm of the location, Logie decided to rename the establishment to "Playa Grande Inn", in Grande there is a surf spot named for John "Logie's Ledge" mentioned in "Wave Finder of Central America".
