Tamarindo hotels

Pros: The property was amazing , super lovely decor ... it was definitely one of the best places I’ve stayed in Costa Rica. I loved the quaint feel of the place and most definitely will me returning .

Cons: Everything was super amazing so I don’t really have anything bad to say

Pros: Property is definitely a slice of paradise . SUPER CLEAN ! Unreal , super natural/ organic feel . I would highly recommend this place . Super quiet a bit away from tamarindo center but cheap cab ride . Breakfast was incredible and refreshing ! Thank you for your service !

Pros: We loved our stay at Les Voiles Blanches B&B! The entire space is quiet, relaxing, and safe. The pool was clean/the perfect temperature and the hammocks strewn around the space were perfect for relaxing and enjoying the peaceful space. The room had everything we needed (great a/c and internet), comfortable king sized bed, and beautiful bathroom. The location was perfect, far enough away from trashy Tamarindo to be quiet/safe, but close enough to go to dinner and explore a wide array of beaches! Besides the amenities the hosts were fantastic! They were easy to communicate with, flexible, gave us wonderful recommendations (even set up sunset horseback riding for us) and provided a delicious breakfast! 10/10 would definitely book again and recommend staying here!!

Pros: Les Voiles Blanches is a perfect place to stay if you are after a peaceful location. We found everything what we were looking for in this little piece of gem. It's been located perfectly as we did not want to find ourselves in this hustling bustling of Tamarindo. It has a great charm for a simple bed and breakfast place. The room was perfectly cleaned and loved the bathroom with an open plan ceiling feature. Swimming pool has a great mixture of contemporary design and surrounded by beautiful exotic plants and trees. Breakfast was excellent. Michael was super friendly, kind and provided each day some different hot breakfast items. Freshly squeezed juice, granola and yoghurt was a great healthy option. Truly enjoyed talking with Michael and Karene about the life and culture in Costa Rica. We wish them best of luck with their new project in Tamarindo and hope to stay in their new location in the future. Bulent & Natalia

Pros: The property, breakfast, and pool for the location exceeded my expectations. My girlfriend and I had a lovely time.

Cons: The dirt road where the property is located is difficult to traverse. The entrance to the road is on a steep incline with many potholes.

Pros: Incredible experience in Les Voiles Blanches. Michael and katellen are very receptive, happy and helped us with ou experience in Tamarindo. Beautiful decor and very confort bedroom. The barhroom is excellent and the pool is amazing. Michael prepared us very good breakfasts. I recommend the hotel for all the ones that is willing to have great time in Tamarindo!

Pros: The hosts were fabulous as always. This is a return trip for us . We hope there will be many more trips to come

Pros: The landscaping and pool so beautiful breakfast everyday was excellent. How host and hostess very helpful kind and very gracious

Cons: We liked everything

Pros: We loved staying here, it was peaceful, beautiful, clean and welcoming. Everything was perfect for out first time there. I would recommend this to anyone. The only thing to keep in mind is this is a boutique hotel not a all inclusive resort

Pros: This location is awesome because it is on a beach that is swimmable with fewer rocks. The staff were fun and very helpful. The rooms were very clean and really comfortable beds. My friend stayed in one of the beachside bungalows and that room was really cool! Worth the extra $.

Cons: The food could use some improvement.

Pros: Excellent hotel, food, and wonderful staff.

Cons: Leaving.

Pros: Great location, friendly staff, great food and helpful concierge to plan activities

Pros: Breakfast was fabulous. Location was fine.

Cons: We didn't enjoy the barbeque as much as we enjoyed the previous night's sit-down regular dinner.

Pros: Excellent staff, Perfect Management welcome, Beautiful setting and a fascinating Abundance of wild Fauna.

Pros: My wife and i went to Costa Rica on our honeymoon, and we spent our final five days at the Tamarindo Bay Boutique Hotel. We absolutely loved it, hated to leave and can’t wait to come back again. Everything from the location, to the ambiance and decor, and especially the staff, was top notch. We can’t imagine staying anywhere else in Tamarindo.

Pros: The hospitality

Pros: Amazing property Marie did everything to make me feel welcome and comfortable

Cons: There’s nothing I didn’t like about this property

Pros: I loved everything about this hotel. Small, quiet, convenient, clean, friendly and knowledgeable staff, clean and warm pool, close to town, excellent food, comfortable large rooms, inexpensive, wow!

Cons: There really wasn't anything at all to complain about.

Pros: We loved everything about our stay here. Beautiful grounds, welcoming hosts, lovely room, and delicious breakfast. It was also in the perfect location, within walking distance of the town and beach.

Pros: Arriving up a dusty road we were pleasantly surprised when we stepped inside the oasis that is Tamarindo Bay Boutique Hotel. The hotel has a chilled vibe and the pool area was great, with a choice of beds, bean bags, hammocks or hanging chairs. Free filtered water and coffee/tea available all day. We had a lovely welcome from Marie the Manager. Our room was great. Very light and airy, just on the right side of minimalist so as to be comfortable, calming and clutter free but not soul-less. Thoughtful extra touches such as an umbrella and ice bucket in the room (ice always available in the freezer). A lovely big comfortable bed with great pillows and really good quality cotton sheets. A hot power shower with good quality toiletries in the bathroom. Breakfast was great , a selection of toast, fruit, rice and beans, eggs, yoghurt, home made cake, cereal, tea, coffee and juices. The breakfast was served in an alfresco area, surrounded by lots of greenery such as fragrant ylang ylang, jasmine and pretty orchids. Breakfast was served by Marie or the owner Bathsheba. Both were really lovely and took a real interest in their guests. Real thought has been put into this hotel and the guest experience and the little extra touches really made a difference. Great location too, only 5/10 minutes to restaurants and the beach. Our only disappointment was that we were not staying longer!! Thank you guys for a lovely relaxing 5 days, Tracy and David.

Cons: Our only disappointment was that were not staying longer!

Pros: This Hotel was amazing. Everything was superb from the moment you arrive at the property. Staff and owner were really nice! I liked all the little details around the Hotel, in the rooms and at the pool area to make the stay even better! They helped us arrange some activities and a car rental, they really took their time with the guests which was so nice and helpful. Higly recommended!! And the location was superb, short distances to restaurants and the beach.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: The stuff is very friendly and helpfully, thx to Maria!

Cons: Breakfast could be more various.

Pros: From the moment we got through the gates we knew this would be a great place to stay. Everything was immaculate, the staff were so helpful & welcoming, each guests get a guide book to the town which is a real bonus. We were there during Tamarindo's busiest time but it was lovely and peaceful in the hotel and you could watch the birds & iguanas whilst having breakfast.

Cons: This is only a minor thing but the room felt like it could use a desk/sideboard, it was so big but felt a bit too minimalist.

Pros: I truly appreciate the personal touches and care of Marie. She made me feel at home and helped me to extend my stay. I also booked a tour through them, which was an awesome experience. As a location independent professional this goes a long way.

Cons: N/A

Pros: Kevin and the staff were fantastic. From start to end they were so welcoming, helpful, and friendly. The breakfast every morning really started the day out correctly. So good! The rooms are amazing and the whole chill, chic, vibe of the place made for a great complement to the Tamarindo experience. A little oasis from the beach and the town.

Cons: Seeming complaint at first is really a strength; little tricky to get to but the map they provide is immensely helpful. Nice that it's a street or two away from the main strip.

Pros: Kindness. Everyone was extremely pleasant, greetings, asking us how we were. The food was superb for lunch, dinner and snacks. Free shuttle bus was excellent. Loved the outside shower and the spa.

Cons: The travel to and from the airport or places outside of Tamarindo was pricey. We flew into San Jose and had no idea how far Tamarindo was.

Pros: The free laundry service

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Absolutely everything! True paradise❤️

Pros: Personalized experience. good facility. close to town.

Cons: Slightly older facility

Pros: What is not too like. The staff are more than welcoming and absolutely amazing in every way. Everyone was so helpful. Free bikes free taxis. The free breakfast was out of this world. Would recommend this place to absolutely everyone that is looking for a nice place to stay. Knock 50$ off for the breakfast buffet. Best breakfast I have had in my life.

Pros: Amazing room, the pool and the beach were lovely. We felt very well looked after.

Pros: Beautiful place! We took the villa with the pool it was huge. Great size pool. The hotel pool is also great, love the food! Great options for vegetarian. Amazing staff and service.

Cons: The only think we didn't like was the beach it was a bit rocky but there are planty of beautiful beaches near by

Pros: Everything from the staff to the services and the locations. Their attention to details was amazing

Cons: Continuous sound coming from the pool area all night long, clicking sound of the vent which made it impossible to turn it on during night time; therefore a minus in comfort

Pros: Food is great, do not need to go elsewhere You have yoga classes, fitness classes Complimentary sunset cocktail

Cons: Tea not organic, could be organic

Pros: The service was amazing and the staff couldn’t have been more friendly.

Cons: The bed, pillows, and sheets were horrible. It was hard to sleep some nights. The bed was very hard, the pillows were way too big and the only bedding were 2 very thin sheets (no comforter/quilt). Also, the beach at the hotel is very rocky and you can’t swim there. It is about a 15 minute walk down the beach to get to an area that you can swim in.

Pros: It was a nice location, beautiful beach, good food for an all inclusive

Cons: They could have had faster service we spent a lot of time waiting to have our waters refilled. The drink variety was limited.

Pros: excellent location, on a beautiful beach, large comfortable room, clean bathroom good food, a large selection of dishes, snack bar and drinks open all day Nice staff

Cons: very poor animations, unprofessional animators, staring at each other, not caring about guests (especially girls!) they looked like they were working as punishment ... I do not recommend the a la carte Ocean restaurant! no dishes from the menu! dirty and unpressed tablecloths! non-special dishes available. after dinner we went disappointed to eat well in a normal restaurant!

Pros: Great location. Excellent food ,polite and helpful staff spacious rooms , showers and toilets are clean and functional

Cons: Bad check in experience , instead of giving us one room for three that we have booked, they tried to give us a different room and add a rollover bed , the ac thermostat couldn’t control the room temperature It either has to be shut down and sweating or let it run continuously, and freeze I did find the bed to be very uncomfortable

Pros: The pool was really great as was the view from the room

Cons: They do not know how to properly clean. We had dirty sneakers, empty soda bottles amongst other issues when we checked into room. There is not a lot of choices w drinks and they are poorly made. There is no WiFi that works outside the main area

Pros: Location

Cons: Hello, I am writing to inform you that we are very disappointed with this hotel location. We had booked a 1 night stay there from the 10th until 11th of January. We arrived at the hotel at 3:08 pm and we were excited to get the check in completed and go to our room for a nice shower. Well, first off we waited for approx 40 mins to complete the check in. Secondly, when we arrived to the room we had no towels, the minibar was empty and the room was VERY dirty. We are a very tolerant couple and do not complain about minor issues, but this was such a disturbing condition we have checked out and found a much better hotel in tamarindo. Before we decided to check out we tried to resolve the isssues we notified the house keeping to come and take a look and see if charges could be made so we would stay. I must say, nothing changed. The room had dirt and grime everywhere and should not have been rented out, I certainly hope this is not the acceptable standard of this hotel and If it is, I can understand the recent negative reviews you have been receiving. I am sure you intend to keep our money eventhough we only spent 2 hrs at your hotel and did not use any of the facilities. I am not blaming any of the staff at this hotel, but the management really needs to take a serious look at the standards if you want to continue operating this hotel. We have stayed at 1 start and 5 star resorts all over costa rica, and this is the worst we have seen so far, we expected much better and we have now wasted time and money because of poor management of the property. If anyone is giving this place a higher rating, then I must say their standards must be low, the rooms are dirty and run down, we will never come back here again. I will say that we are not picky and had the place been clean etc we would not have had a problem in staying, however when the sheets are stained and every edge has dirt on it, what else is disgusting. Not to mention even even the coffee mugs were dirty.

Pros: - great location - beach front! - gym

Cons: - rooms are very old - food is not good even though is all inclusive - liquors are not good quality - parking lot was full, it was hard to get a spot

Pros: The location and the beach is fantastic. Super nice to stay under the trees on the beach, in the shade, after playing in the waves with the kids.

Cons: The beds (king size) are too small - comfortable though. The restaurant is ok, but a bit too noisy and more or less the same every day. The snackbar is messy and the staff working there don't really keep it tidy. I really don't like the loud music they insist on playing around the snackbar and the pool. I want to have tranquility and you can see that people are avoiding to sit close to the music. Music is ok, but why on earth play it so loud. It gives a cheep sense of the hole place. We had a very nice time though, and stayed mostly on the beach.

Pros: Nice jungle feel. Lots of Gecos and dragons around and the bungalow allow for privacy. Good breakfast, Coco makes you the omelette of your dreams. Also 2 if you want

Cons: Room a little small. Dusty dirt road to walk to the beach

Pros: Room and room balcony

Cons: Restaurant @ night. Expensive and average food and service

Pros: Very clean and comfortable. Everything is very well cared for. Breakfast was good, real orange juice and an egg-station. Cleaning staff and breakfast ladies exceptionaly good :-)

Pros: Great location - an easy walk to the beach and downtown Tamarando is just down the street from the hotel. I would definitely stay here again.

Pros: The owner(Richard) is always on site. He is very personable and always asks if everything is ok and all yours needs are met. The breakfast is fabulous with numerous choices from made to order omelettes to pancakes. On site restaurant is fabulous. Great food!

Cons: Absolutely nothing!

Pros: Rooms were clean. Private nice for couples

Cons: Far from beach. Need to work on the very simple breakfast menu

Cons: The hotel is very run down. The pool is the saddest thing to look at let like hang or swim in. Zero food.

Pros: The staff and owner were very friendly, helpful and accommodating. The property was private and quiet.

Pros: Arco Iris had a great feel to it. The pool is very nice. Richard is a super cool guy and is extremely friendly. We had to leave at 4:00 am to catch our flight and Richard gave us some fruit, muffins, and juice. He offered that up without us even asking. We were very happy with the location. You are just far enough from the noise of the main street, but still able to walk to everything. The beach is maybe a 5 minute walk. There is a walking path from the hotel to a road with tons of great restaurants. If you feel like staying in for a nice meal, they lease their dining space to one of the best restaurants in Tamarindo, Seasons by Shlomy. We traveled to 4 different cities in Costa Rica and this hotel was our favorite by far.

Cons: The air conditioner in our room was kind of weak. It worked a little better at night. We weren't around much during the day so it didn't bother us much.

Pros: Close to the beach and commercial enterprises.

Cons: Room was a bit drab.

Pros: The hosts were super friendly and gave a lot of handy hints and information about Tamarindo and the amenities around, could use the facility the whole next day (especially good for monitored parking and having a shower after the day at the beach), location is a bit out of the way from the loud main roads

Cons: Furniture could maybe renewed in the future, but was quite okay for the night

Pros: Great place with everything you need plus the staff were brilliant and super helpful - would definitely recommend this place

Cons: lack of consistent hot water but that was the case in most places we stayed at in CR so not really a deal

Pros: EVERYTHING.... STAFF, LOCATION, PRICE, CLEANLINESS .... PERFECT. Great stay .... staff was so accommodating from the time we booked our reservations!

Cons: Everything was absolutely FABULOUS!!! If i had to say anything.... if I had to .... the couch was a bit tough ... lol. That is a good thing though... made us not be couch potatoes on vacation.

Cons: Spotty WiFi, my door would not secure from outside, need face clothes in the bathroom. Changed rooms once due to infestation of ants. Need to fumigate rooms.

Pros: An excellent place, just off the Main Street, but very quiet. Lovely rooms which overlook the garden and pool. Well worth a stay with very friendly and helpful staff. Would recommend.

Cons: None

Cons: Very - very tired property.. Old sheets and towels, with stains.. Poor cleanliness.. We had to switch room, as they have a problem with ants. Just imagine 1000 of ants walking on the bed :(

Pros: I loved the homemade bagel and real orange juice they provided.

Pros: it's a little off the main scene of Tamarindo but not too far away, which makes it quiet at night. Breakfast with Cynthia is amazing. I recommend having it there at least once. Our room was spacious (kingsize bed), clean and we had a silent AC unit as well as a fan and a fridge. outside was a table and two chairs to sit. the pool looked clean, we did not use it though. For that price I don't think you get anything better in Tamarindo. Bus station nearby

Cons: There were some ants inside the room, maybe place and ant-trap inside the rooms?

Pros: It is a great small hotel, near the main downtown. A quiet place to stay.

Pros: Clean, swimming pool, surrounded by a lot of tropical plants and trees.

Cons: Some red ants into the room.

Pros: The included breakfast was Amazing! Huge, fresh-baked croissant with scrambled eggs, ham and cheese. Also, some cut up fresh fruit on the plate. Yum. A delicious Cappuccino rounded out the meal. A very comfortable bed, very good A/C, very good wi-fi and very friendly staff made the stay quite enjoyable. Also, a nice pool surrounded by lush vegetation. I would definitely stay here again if in Tamarindo!

Pros: Nice facility, great location and very helpful owner

Cons: Would be nice to have more variety in breakfast menu

Pros: Absolutely perfect in every aspect. Location, rate and staff.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Very good service, rooms at the beach, nice area for hotel people only with sun bed

Cons: some smell from the nearby reastaurant

Pros: Audrey always hade a beautiful smile and went out of her way to help at the front desk

Cons: A few more clothes hooks.

Pros: Perfect location, great restaurant, great staff Brian, Henry, Michael ETC. highly recommend this place.

Cons: No complaints whatsoever which is rare for me :)

Pros: The location is right in the centre of the beach activity. Amazing staff and all around good vibe!

Cons: String sewage odours

Pros: Beachfront access says it all. If you’re looking for luxury not my first choice but not bad. That said, very nice and clean hotel/bungalow to have a romantic stay in.

Cons: Privacy and local hustlers(bird whistles, beads, etc)

Pros: Everyone was so nice. The location was perfect. The free breakfast and all the food at restaurant was amazing. Rolando was super helpful and so nice. We loved it here!

Pros: The suite with a loft bed and private terrace was much bigger than I expected for a beachfront location Near all amenities and on one of the best parts of the beach

Cons: A pool would have been nice

Pros: Right on the beach & close to many shops, bars, cafes.

Cons: Bathroom very small, but adequate for us. Size of bathroom would be a challenge for large people. Steep steps to sleeping loft, not for the unsteady. We enjoyed our stay because of beach front, hammocks.

Pros: The view was incredible! And lots of outdoor seating available for the hotel guests. The restaurant was right on the beach and had good food at a reasonable price as well.

Cons: The bathroom was small. I’m only 5’2” and it felt tight to me. I can’t imagine what a big and or tall person would feel!

Pros: Great location and friendly staff. Our room had an outside kitchen which was great to cook breakfast and coffee. The bathroom toiletries were nice and replenishes every day.

Cons: A bit noisy in the morning from the restaurant and the mattress wasn’t the most comfortable

Pros: Nothing

Cons: The place was disgusting, I should had listen to reviews bout rooms not being clean but I gave it the benefit of doubt. First the pillows had hair on them, the towels in the bathroom were like stain with paint or something and worse part is the bathroom smelled like week old sweaty clothes( not exaggerating). There was a shirt hanging on curtains from previous guest. There was a fridge but it didn't work! I left the place, there was no way I could sleep there let alone shower and use those towels. The pics are deceiving and I don't know who reviewed this place but my experience was. Awful!

Pros: Beach front location is a plus, close to Tamarindo center and right infront of the main street, close by restaurants and shops. Personal is very kind and with goodwill to help.

Cons: Some rooms looks kind of old, some others are a little better but IMO the place is more in the expensive side for what it offers. TV channes don't work property, also there was no freeze in any room, and in our case the toilet pump didn't work property. Doors aren't as secure as you can expect from a hotel but the place is located in a secure spot so it helps a little.

Pros: Beautiful view, great location , very friendly hosts, best breakfast ever, nice garden in the shade with beach view. Very good fish restaurant next door.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Good location, and very easy to move around and the beach is right at the backyard.

Cons: Rooms looks somehow old, wifi is terrible, perhaps adding a proper breakfast could add value to the place, NO freeze on the rooms a beach hotel without a small freeze is unbelievable

Pros: Alexia and Olivier are extremely gracious hosts. They go above and beyond to make your stay comfortable and enjoyable. I was Travelling alone with my 8 month old and they were so helpful, organized all my activities and my transportation and helped me with my son. I loved staying there and can’t wait to go back.

Pros: The location backing onto the beach, and beside a good restaurant are a definite bonus. The room itself was spacious - but the furnishings were worn and there was no balcony/sitting area. The owner and gardener were both friendly. The breakfast was fine - omelette and crepes - but the bread was average (no fresh baked pastry as advertised in the other reviews).

Cons: The hotel is located on the busy main road. Workers were out front constructing a bathroom/shed when we arrived on a Sunday afternoon. Zero curb appeal to step over extension cords etc. upon arrival.

Pros: The location was out of the way and the view was lovely.

Cons: Everything was great.

Pros: Locations between the beach and the manglar. Great rooms, very comfy. Alexia the host was great, gave us good recomendations and was very nice. She self cooked the breakfasts that were incredible, best ive eaten in costa rica. The hotels yard is full of wildlife, iguanas, monkeys, and a few species of birds. Dont want to leave this place! Totally recomended!! Paradise in Tamarindo.

Cons: Nothing.

Pros: Excellent room, amazing breakfast, great staff, good location

Pros: My fiancé and I had a wonderful seven night stay at Casa Blanca. The location at the end of Playa Tamarindo is very peaceful and the views from the patio are exceptional. We loved waking up to freshly made breakfast on the patio every morning; it was an amazing treat and an exceptional value. The owners were very kind and attentive to anything we needed. We would definitely stay again. This small hotel is truly a gem in busy Tamarindo. You will feel at peace! We enjoyed seeing monkeys right at the property and the restaurant next door is great. Thank you for everything, Alexia and Olivier!

Pros: The hosts were very friendly and knows what they're doing. The location is above amazing - a relatively quiet stretch of beach next to a national park, this is one of the most well-located places I've ever stayed at. The property is also beautiful, with modern styling and an inviting outdoor seating area. Lots of wildlife here and there appearing in the garden, such as birds and iguanas. The breakfast is absolutely gourmet!

Cons: Traffic on the road was a bit rough during peak xmas season, but not unmanageable.
