Jardín del Edén Boutique Hotel - Adults Only

I have seen and visited within the last 20 years numerous destinations and hotels. As to this hotel and all it's amenities and services (Personnel, food, beach, entertainment, professionalism, friendliness, needed advice/help, cleanliness,...), I can summarize all of them in "3" words. !!!Excellent, excellent, excellent!!!

We needed some serious downtime and this hotel ticked all the boxes. The gardens are stunning and so quiet and relaxing. The food is great and the vibe is chill. We also loved Tamarindo beach and enjoyed hopping between the beach and hotel. We would recommend and definitely would consider a return trip.

2-star hotel at best. It’s billed as a “wellness hotel” and there is nothing wellness about it. Menu is terrible and highly limited. Beach path forces you to cross the road after hiking down many many steps… it’s NOT quiet and the “wellness activities” are obviously an afterthought. Overall a terrible experience compared to how it is marketed.

Jardín del Edén feels like a hidden paradise—beautiful, peaceful, and perfectly located in the heart of Tamarindo. The private access points make you feel like a VIP, and the hotel’s beach area with a plunge pool and bar is a standout—our favorite spot to relax and catch sunset. The staff were incredibly warm and welcoming, and the food and drinks were consistently great. It’s the perfect mix of laid-back Costa Rica vibes with a boutique,

This place is a true gem! The location is within walking distance to the beach and downtown. The property is super clean. The breakfast & supper are both included. The supper is like going to a fine dining restaurant every night. The food is fresh & flavourful. The staff are all amazing but I would like to give credit to Dylan at the desk, Andy & Kevin at the bars and Nancy in the dining room. A fantastic team! The hotel is amazing & I would definitely come back and will be recommending to friends & family. Pura Vida!

We had a great stay at this resort. While our room wasn’t the most luxurious, it was clean and had a beautiful view of the ocean. We heard and saw monkeys multiple days. The evening dinner service was great; don’t skip the sea bass. The beach garden is excellent. Music, safe space, good drinks. Service at this resort is top notch.

We had the most amazing stay at this hotel. After almost three weeks of travelling the length and breadth of Costa Rica, we wanted four days of complete R&R in the sunshine before flying back to the UK, and this hotel certainly provided that. Our garden rooms were great, with excellent aircon and a huge fan, plus a fan on our little terrace. The gardens are exquisite, carefully tended every day and kept looking beautiful. The pool is great, with plenty of sunloungers and beds - there is even a resident iguana. We were very impressed with the buffet breakfast and three course dinner, which although was limited in choice was always beautifully prepared and delicious. There is a separate vegetarian menu if needed, which was always good. One of the best things was the secret garden by the beach! Go though a private gateway off the main street and there you will find a little garden, with copious sunloungers and umbrellas, a constant supply of beach towels, a little pool and a great bar. And the beach was fabulous - exciting waves and not too crowded. If you visit Tamarindo, you must stay here, off the main drag but close enough for all the bars and restaurants.

Overall, this hotel exceeded our expectations. The staff is incredibly friendly and the overall value is fantastic. We very much enjoyed everything about our stay and we’re pleasantly surprised with the quality and choices of food. Even if you are not a vegetarian, I would suggest asking for that dinner menu. The choices were excellent. Overall, the hotel is a little dated, but very clean. We would definitely stay there again.

We just checked out after a three-night stay at Jardin Del Eden Boutique Hotel, and while the property itself is beautiful and well maintained, the overall experience was disappointing due to consistently poor customer service and lack of attention to detail. After eight hours of travel, we arrived exhausted and dehydrated, only to be directed to empty water dispensers and then given warm tap water. When our airline instructed us to retrieve delayed luggage from the airport, the hotel offered no transportation assistance and simply told us to take an Uber. Later, multiple staff members watched us struggle to carry a 60-pound suitcase up and down stairs without offering help. Although the grounds are stunning and very clean, constant maintenance and construction created noise and even blocked the main walkway. On our final day, despite requesting help with a short transfer to their sister property, the front desk forgot. We attempted to walk with six bags, only to find the beach path closed due to construction. Again, staff observed us struggling and offered no assistance, directing us instead to a long, unpaved road. Dragging our luggage uphill for 20 minutes was completely unacceptable. The included meals were fresh and enjoyable, and the restaurant and bar staff were friendly. I want to ensure we give a very special and well-deserved shoutout to Kevin at the beach bar, who truly stood out and made our experience truly special. Unfortunately, the repeated service failures overshadowed the positives and made this stay feel far below expectations for a boutique hotel.

Great location to relax, walk into town for the multitude of boutique shops / restaurants or onto the beach area where the hotel has its own grassed area with sunbeds and a bar. The staff are lovely and very welcoming. We stayed half board and were not disappointed. Whilst the evening meal was limited in choice it was always exceptional. Our room was kept very clean, was very comfortable and had a nice view out to sea. Note! This small complex has a lot of stairs / steps and may not be suitable for those with limited mobility.
