Zulu Surf Hotel Tamarindo ★★★

📍 Centro Comercial Plaza Conchal, Tamarindo

"Had an issue checking in to a locked gate. But all worked out fine I'd stay again"

Hotel Tamarindo Diria Beach Resort
8.8 (102 reviews)

Hotel Tamarindo Diria Beach Resort ★★★★

📍 C. Central, Tamarindo

"The hotel is well located with good facilities and clean, spacious rooms. The staff is attentive and the breakfast is good, although they wouldn't allow us to take a simple sandwich for our 8-hour trip on our last day, which was a bit disappointing."

Wyndham Tamarindo
8.6 (109 reviews)

Wyndham Tamarindo ★★★

📍 Calle Vista, Tamarindo

"Tis is the first negative review I’ve left but the hotel description was very misleading. Our stay was unfortunately quite disappointing. Positives were the hotel had a great view and the pool and breakfast were excellent. The hotel was not in good shape. It was very run down, both out rooms were not clean on arrival: there was urine on the toilet seat and tons of dirt on the floor, the lock on the patio doors was broken, the safe didn’t work, and the shower railing was loose. On one of the days when we returned to the hotel we had no towels after it had been cleaned and it took several hours for us to get some to shower with - this was surprising as it was off peak and the hotel was quite empty."

"Nice room in a good location. Good breakfast. Tamarindo beach is really nice (minus all the sales people)"

Surf Ranch Tamarindo
6.5 (60 reviews)

Surf Ranch Tamarindo ★★★

📍 Calle Central, Tamarindo

"Well, there's not much to say. The rooms are small, but there's air conditioning, which is really worth it. I also appreciate the self-check-in option. However, I would have liked to have received that information the day before. Otherwise, the location is very good."

Hotel la Palapa ★★★

📍 Hotel La palapa Main street 25m north tamarindo circle, Tamarindo

Baliyana Lodge
9.7 (22 reviews)

Baliyana Lodge ★★★

📍 San Antonio del Cruz, Tamarindo

"We enjoyed the Baliyana Lodge very much. The owners were very friendly and pleasant people and they put their personal touch into making our stay a wonderful experience. The breakfasts were amazing. The cabin was private and beautiful and we slept well in a comfortable bed. The infinity pool overlooking the mountain forest was breathtaking. Amazing wildlife all around in this peaceful setting. The drive was its own experience as the roads were heavily damaged by the rains, but the Baliyana Lodge was well worth it. Highly recommend - a perfect 10 experience!"

House of Nomad - Adults Only Hotels in Tamarindo

House of Nomad - Adults Only

"I came to Costa Rica to celebrate my birthday and picked the perfect place to stay here at the House of Nomad. The staff were friendly and Veronika always asked or made sure I had everything I needed. I requested a driver to and from the airport and he was on time and courteous. Communication was great for getting directions, dining recommendations and I felt special on my birthday! My room was very clean and had everything I needed for my stay and the mattress felt great! The pool is open 24/7 and depending on when you decide to swim you may have it all to yourself. The atmosphere felt like I was on a separate island away from the rest of Tamarindo once I entered the gate. There is an area by the pool with a toaster, teas, and you can refill your water bottles. I would recommend a stay here for the hospitality, safety, and comfort to my family and friends. You will not be disappointed!"

Hotel Boruca Tamarindo Hotels in Tamarindo

Hotel Boruca Tamarindo

"The Hotel Boruca is an older hotel, but very well maintained. The rooms and premises were clean. A highlight of our stay was the excellent and friendly service of the manager/owner Marascio, the breakfast waitress, and the waiters in the restaurant. Speaking of food, the breakfasts were delicious--and oh how wonderful the food was in the restaurant. The hotel is located close to a grocery store, banks, and the beach. We enjoyed our stay there and would recommend the Hotel Boruca to others."

Mono Luxe Villas Hotels in Tamarindo

Mono Luxe Villas

"An exceptional property that perfectly balances chic, contemporary design with a warm, cozy ambiance. The service is consistently outstanding—attentive without being intrusive—and the location is ideal for exploring the area. Very flexible options to stay with family since it has regular rooms, one bedroom and 2 bedroom suites equipped with small kitchen and living room area. Great walk out balcony in very peaceful setting but just meters away from the fun Tamarindo main street full of restaurant options and entertainment. Noise level is super low. Very relaxing. Everything is brand new! Staff is extraordinary. Tony was fabulous! The kids and I really enjoyed our time there and hope to return soon! Keep an eye out for the fabulous Beach Club that will be a wonderful addition to this property."

Zulu Surf Hotel Tamarindo ★★★
"Hotel very well located in the center of Tamarindo. Several restaurant and entertainment options nearby. Spacious, well-equipped and clean rooms. Extremely friendly and helpful staff. The hotel also has partnerships with other tourism companies and service providers. For example, surfing lessons, snorkeling tours and even a day trip to Nicaragua were available at reception."

Hotel Tamarindo Diria Beach Resort ★★★★
"The hotel is a bit old, but it is well maintained, very clean, and has a very good holiday feeling. The location is especially good. The town center is very lively and good for shopping (the Pizaa restaurant next to it is delicious). The hotel faces the sea, which is almost a private beach. The beach is of very good quality, with clear water and fine sand, extending far away and not deep. Although it is not as beautiful as the sea in Cancun, it is more suitable for playing (especially surfing). Although it is a public beach, the hotel's own lawn area is very large. You can rest under the benches and coconut trees in the hotel. You can go down two steps to the beach, so you don't need to go to the beach to compete with everyone for a position. The beach is very clean and popular. There are many surfboard rentals and surfing courses. You can even get a massage on the beach, which is very interesting. Tamarindo is a tourist hotspot. You can find a local travel agency to sign up for many short tours. We signed up for a 3-hour tour to watch turtles lay eggs in one night (November to April is the turtle laying season every year), which is very interesting. We only stayed for one night, but staying one more night would be more relaxing. In short, it is worth recommending."

Wyndham Tamarindo ★★★
"Tamarindo is a fun beach town, lots of restaurants and of course the beach. The pros: incredible view, free shuttle to the town, access to the Langosta Beach Club, helpful staff. The cons: location a little far from town, can’t walk it. And the BIG con were the locusts. They were everywhere, especially at night. This are huge (8-10 inch) insects that look like huge grasshoppers. My kids freaked out because these things fly around and land on you sometimes. The Wyndham staff can’t control it, but they are helpful to remove them from your door. If you’re grossed out by large insects, just be aware."

"Great location. No parking. It doesn’t help that there is no staff member to help. I had to go to the coffee shop next door to get help."

Baliyana Lodge ★★★
"This was truly a wonderful experience. After a short off-road drive we arrived in a little paradise. The lodges are gorgeous and built by the owner who's wife puts the final personal touch to the decor. It's wonderfully looked after. The swimming pool is stunning and an amazing place for star watching. After a peaceful night you are served a wonderful homecoooked breakfast with a local coffee experience. I wish we coud have stayed longer."

Hostel la Botella de Leche - Tamarindo ★★
"Such a great place to stay in Tamarindo. The staff is super friendly and accommodating. There us a grocery and bank very close by, and it is about a 5 minute walk to the beach. Shout out to Leo, at the desk and Carmella for keeping things so clean."
