Hotels in 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."

"It is a very cosy house, the swimming pool is very nice and very easy to get in to check."

"We had read many great reviews before booking this property, but were a little apprehensive about if it would live up to expectations. Oh yes it did! The staff are friendly, helpful and welcoming and the property is very well maintained. While lounging by the pool, expect a lizard or two and your morning alarm could be the howler monkeys. This property is centrally located allowing you easy access to the beach and town, but the gardens and pool offer pure tranquility. You can physically feel the energy change as you cross the road and walk up the path up from the beach back to your room. There are steps into reception, down to the pool, restaurant and into rooms, so consider this if not mobile. The breakfast buffet was delightful and the evening meal offered two starter, two main and one dessert option that varied each day. The room was big, comfortable, toiletries provided and strong Wi-Fi throughout, even on the beach. We thought this property was great value for money and thoroughly enjoyed our stay."

"Yes there is not much to say. Rooms are small but there is a air conditioning. That is really worth it. I don't find even check in bad. But I would have liked the information already the day before. Otherwise the situation is very good."

"Firstly, let me say that the staff there are their biggest asset. I couldn’t fault the staff in any way. They were friendly and warm. Offered help will all services like tours or fun places to go or local food or taxis to the airport etc etc. she always greeted me and wanted to have a conversation about my day (as a solo traveller, that’s nice, as most the time can be spent alone). She seemed to care that I had a fun time there and did her best to help me enjoy my time. The downsides are just a few things with noise, it’s quite close to main road and the windows are super thin. Was woken up a few times. Also the communal areas can be quite close to rooms and you don’t appreciate people smoking, drinking, talking loudly outside your door whether it’s 4pm or 4am!"

"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."

"The hotel was very comfortable and very comfortable. The hotel is very nice and will be the hotel for future visits to the area."

"⸻ Absolutely Exceptional — Better Than Some 5-Star Hotels! I was blown away by the level of service at Tama Hostel and Glamping. The staff go above and beyond — genuinely warm, attentive, and helpful. Every inch of the property is spotless and meticulously maintained, offering a relaxed, welcoming vibe that you rarely find outside of boutique resorts. What really impressed me was that the service here surpasses some 5-star hotels I’ve stayed in. A special shout-out to the lovely Russian girl at reception — her hospitality was extraordinary. She made check-in feel more like arriving at a friend’s place, with genuine kindness and attention. Another standout feature is its proximity to the beach. Just a short, easy walk—and you’re right on the sand, with the ocean practically calling your name. Whether for a morning swim, sunset stroll, or lounging with a book by the waves, the beach access couldn’t be more convenient. If you’re looking for a clean, laid-back escape with top-tier service and beachside charm at a low budget, Tama Hostel and Glamping is highly recommended! ⸻"
