Guest Reviews
- Steve (10/5): - Very quiet spot, does not feel like the rest of Tamarindo. Walking distance to shops restaurants, and beaches. My wife and I were kicking off a month in Costa Rica and it was an excellent transition spot. The apartment felt very homey with a very comfortable king bed and a very nice kitchen area with a table. The bathroom was also massive. A full coffee maker with coffee was provided. There was a full refrigerator and all the utensils we needed. They had a filtered water dispenser that served up cold water. They also had a nice little pool. Would definitely stay again if we are ever in Tamarindo.
- Angela (10/5): - Stayed four days at Tamarindo Boutique Hotel and honestly, it was a serene little slice of paradise. Marie, the host, is super sweet and always just a WhatsApp away. The second-floor saltwater pool with a tiny waterfall? Pure bliss. Loved the chill, adult-only vibe, simple, clean rooms with that laid-back beach feel. The back gate leads right to the main street but inside, it’s peaceful and quiet. Plus, those thoughtful touches like filtered water and onsite sunscreen by the pool really stood out. If you want a low-key retreat with easy access to Tamarindo’s buzz, this is your spot.
- Ginny (10/5): - This is the most beautiful, peaceful and well designed property. Maria and Bathsheba were both so kind and helpful. I stayed in two different rooms, and each one was immaculate. The pools were both beautiful and the grounds were peaceful and perfect. The kitchens in both rooms had everything I wanted and needed to cook meals. I cannot say enough good things about this lovely hotel, that is just a few minutes walk to the beach and to town.
- Rachelle (10/5): - An absolute gem of a place to stay! We loved our stay and would love to come back! The pools were amazing! Rooms so clean and comfortable! A easy walk to plenty of restaurants and the beach!
- Garrett (10/5): - Location was great and staff recommendations for restaurants and activities were excellent.
- Bob (10/5): - Place was spotless, very accommodating. The hosts were perfect.
- Mike (10/5): - Very quiet, clean and walkable to the best parts of Tamarindo. Manager was very friendly, helpful and communication was clear and professional.
- Fatih (10/5): - Our room (villa) was beautiful beyond imagination. Absolutely 10 stars. But the workout area was on the opposite end. Although it was a few minutes walk away from “downtown”, it was a pain to walk to get even coffee, because of dirt roads and no side walk.
- Boyd (10/5): - Marie was a great host and took care of my wife and I. The room we stayed was super spacious and
- Tiffany (10/5): - Ut
- David (10/5): Can’t recommend it enough - The owners were so wonderful. Digital check-in was super smooth. The property was the best stay I had in Tamarindo or Flamingo. Great pools, too!
- Lorin (10/5): - Property and room were extremely clean and restaurants and beach were within walking distance
- Naidie (10/5): - Amazing property, even more amazing staff. As a young female travel with one other friend, we felt extremely safe with all the gates and security. The area itself is pretty quiet unless you take the back road, where you will see all the restaurants and clubs. Overall 10/10.
- Jerome (10/5): - Absolutely wonderful! The owner is super helpful and friendly. The hotel property is beautifully maintained and rooms are spotlessly cleaned. We would definitely stay here again.
- Cara (10/5): - The staff are amazing! So communicative. They made me feel like they were happy I was there and literally did everything to make me feels comfortable and safe. Two things I really value as a solo traveller. A very well placed hotel to walk Tamarindo. Great location
- Tara (10/5): - Quiet and peaceful but in a perfect location- close to beach, shopping, and restaurants. The host Marie went out of her way to ensure everything was perfect.
- Christine (10/5): - We had an amazing stay at this hotel, the staff were extremely helpful and made our stay easy and comfortable. Our room was great and very clean!
- Gregory (10/5): - Wonderful stay at the Tamarindo Bay Hotel a few weeks ago. It's like staying at a mini-resort. Very clean and efficient. Close enough to restaurant row and the beach but, far enough to have perfect peace and quiet in the evening. Our host, Marie, was there at check in and made us feel at home during our three nights here. Will definitely come back for our next trip to Tamarindo.
- Blair (10/5): - Location and Hosts are fabulous
- Beatriz (10/5): - .
- Krista (10/5): - Parking was plentiful. Property is gated and safe. On-site management, cleaning, and security at all times. Beautiful, calming, clean facilities. Purified water, ice available. Rooms were immaculate and have everything you need to cook your own small meals. Friendly staff. Walkable to anything you want to do in Tamarindo (restaurants, shopping, beach, excursions).
- Robert Tyler (10/5): - We had a great ten night stay at Tamarindo Bay Hotel. Marie and the staff were great and added a wonderful personal touch to every single day. The pool was nice and the seating area around the pool absolutely unbeatable. I would recommend this property to anyone looking for a boutique feel for their vacation. If we return to Tamarindo, we will most likely stay at Tamarindo Bay again.
- Stanley (10/5): - I highly recommend this hotel if you like a serene & tranquil environment. The place was beyond relaxing. The only suggestions I could make for improvement are newer, softer towels, an ice maker and maybe a little more variety for breakfast to break it up a bit. Overall staff & service were exceptional.
- Elizabeth (10/5): - Maria and the entire staff were so helpful and pleasant. The grounds were delightful and very relaxing.
- Michele (10/5): - Beautiful, clean property.
- Nick (10/5): - This is a great place to stay if you want a quiet and clean oasis that is just a 10 minute walk from the beach. I thought it was the perfect distance from the populated beach area. I found it very easy to relax At this beautiful boutique hotel. I highly recommend 😎
- Peter (10/5): - Can’t say enough about this little oasis; the suite was fantastic and the chill vibe was so welcome to a weary traveller!!
- nasir (10/5): Highly recommended - Clean, well taken care of, with attention to details. Excellent place
- Tracey (10/5): - We will be back
- Joshua (10/5): - Clean and comfortable surroundings. Staff was great.
- Kamran (4/5): - Hotel is ok but I had alarms going off for 2 hours at night. When asked to cancel next day, they did not allow, as well as no concession for the horrible night I had. I wouldn't recommend.
- Verified traveler (6/5): Good service but! - I thought it was too expensive to comparable hotels in the off season. The dining room was not open. Other cheaper hotels had their dining open.
- Sammy (10/5): - The service and staff were superb! One of the best hotels we have ever experienced!
- Chris (10/5): My Review - We had a great stay at the hotel and all the staff was extremely friendly. There is a nice pool to soak away with hot coffee and a mini fridge with cold drinks next to the pool. If you dont speak Spanish that is no problem as the staff speaks good English. Best part there is no party or bar noise which is common in beach towns. We walked to the beach each day, walking around after dark is very safe and secure. You cant go wrong if you pick this hotel.
- Karina (10/5): - We were able to drop off luggage prior to check in so we could walk around.
- Renee (10/5): - The property is immaculate! The staff is exceptional! I would recommend to anyone wanting to visit!
- Dean (10/5): - It was a wonderful place to chill, close enough to the action but far enough from the bustle. Staff was great at assisting for activities. Great breakfast terrace.
- Tanvir (10/5): - This place is perfect. Upgraded upon arrival complimentary. Gorgeous property and even better people working here. This is the only place to stay in Tamarindo! Great location!
- Tejah (6/5): - The property was very clean and the staff were friendly, however this is not a 4 star hotel as advertised. If you're expecting 4 star quality and service this is not it. It is definitely a 3 star hotel and I do believe there are better ones in the area. The place is very small. There's about 3 people on staff (not including the people that clean). Breakfast was okay. They placed me in a room where construction was being done in the back area every morning which was very loud. I don't understand why a hotel would place someone in a room where construction is being done (and not offer some type of discount). There was also issues with the TV in the room (and I eventually had to be moved to another room which was inconvenient because at that point I was already settled). Also there was no microwave in my room or in any common areas. Overall, the staff was friendly and the issues I had were minor, but as I said this is not a 4 star hotel which is what I expected.
- Karim (10/5): - Great place. Would come back
- Anne (10/5): - This property is a quiet, peaceful haven in a very busy beach area of Tamarindo. The property is beautifully maintained, the staff was outstanding, and the comfort and security of the guests is prioritized. The hotel is a short stroll from everything you could want locally-- beach and restaurants -- and the staff is very knowledgable about the area and happy to help. We had a wonderful, restful 4 days.
- Gregory (10/5): - Unbelievable staff. Very helpful. The location was excellent to walk to a number of great restaurants. Rooms were very clean with good AC. The free breakfasts were also very good
- Arvid (10/5): - Nice quiet place in the heart of bustling Tamarindo. Minor criticisms: Microwave and/or toaster/oven would have been convenient. Also, the metal "glasses" provided in the rooms are not conducive to drinking wine.
- David (10/5): - The hotel was exceptionally peaceful considering its location in a very busy area of Tamarindo. Every member of the staff was engaging and helpful. Every restaurant recommended was spot on. Definitely going back next year.
- Olivia (10/5): - It goes without saying the team goes above and beyond to make your stay in Costa Rica perfect. Our family of 6 felt very well taken care of. Our rooms were immaculate. The grounds and the boutique style of the accommodations were perfect. Thanks Marie and team! We definitely will book again when we come back.
- Kwame (10/5): - Very welcoming and helpful staff ensured we had a great stay!
- Randy (10/5): - Loved the place the minute we checked in! An oasis in Tamarindo for sure. Great breakfast everyday, The grounds are very relaxing and Marie is a great host.
- Donald (10/5): - The close proximity to nice restaurants, boutiques, cafes and the beach made our stay very easy. Marie, Bathsheba and Milan (sp) and the entire staff were attentive and very friendly. We loved our stay.
- Rodney (10/5): Great property and Team - Beautiful gem of a property with amazingly friendly and helpful staff. Great morning breakfast and the team was always helpful with great suggestions for activity and food.
- Konstantinos (10/5): - Great experience checking in! Thank you!
- John (10/5): - Excellent staff support and friendliness. Arrived early and room was readied for us. Inclusive breakfast was great.
- SOPHEARY (10/5): - I loved this hotel. It was everything I wanted, and Marie was so helpful! I truly enjoyed and recommend this place. Being in Costa Rica is awesome!
- Luciana (10/5): - Beautiful property and well maintained. Marie was really nice and gave us great advice on what to do. The room was clean, spacious, and beautiful. We didn't get breakfast in our deal for some reason. But we had coffee, tea (in the morning to the afternoon), and cold water for free. I definitively recommend it to adults!
- Denise (10/5): - This is a small, beautiful property for adults only. Marie and the other staff were concerned about providing everything we needed to make our stay comfortable and the best fun. If we were not going to be at the hotel for breakfast (served daily and included), we had something in our fridge the night before. There is filtered water and coffee always avaiable. Beautiful pool and deck. Rooms are comfortable and very clean.
- Alfredo (10/5): - The hospitality and service is above and beyond a 5 star hotel!! I was greeted upon arrival with such a caring professional! Marie made me feel welcome and took care of all my needs throughout my stay at Tamarindo Bay Boutique hotel. Will be back! Highly recommended! Thank you,
- Ina (10/5): - A fantastic property! Incredibly clean, convenient, and beautiful. Breakfast was delicious. Welcoming and kind staff and owner. If I’m ever back in Tamarindo I’ll absolutely stay there again
- Mark Michael (10/5): - Loved the Adult only, helpful and friendly. Pool was dirty for a couple of days but they treated it and back to crystal clear. The AC was undersized for room.
- Michelle (10/5): - We had a lovely time staying at this quaint spot. The breakfast was delicious and the rooms were beautiful. The pool was always warm and the staff was friendly and always helpful. Being off the main road kept it peaceful and quiet and happens to be right around the corner from the best restaurants (which are also not on the main strip). Highly recommend if you are looking for a low key beautiful spot, close to everything.
- Heather (10/5): - Great location to be able to walk to town and the beach and a grocery store super close too. We felt totally safe and it was nice to have access to fresh coffee all day.
- Danny (10/5): - A very small property that is adults only. Great amenities. Great breakfast. Once there you really don’t need to drive anywhere yet very quiet.
- William (10/5): - Marie and all the staff were amazing, the entire place was always clean and being tended to. We wi definitely be going back there soon.
- ivette (10/5): Gem - Wonderful little oasis away from the bustle of the main strip but still an easy walk to the beach and restaurants. Loved the ambience and the fact that it is adults only. Can't wait to return.
- Jenny (10/5): - My husband and I stayed 4 nights at Tamarindo bay boutique and loved it! Our room and the grounds were all very clean and very nicely decorated. Nice breakfast included in the morning on a beautiful patio. The proximity to downtown and the beach is great, an easy 10-15 minute walk. Great food options near by. The absolute gem of this property is the manager, Marie. She’s a wealth of knowledge and will stop at nothing to ensure guests have a great experience at the property and Tamarindo. Thanks, Marie! We will be back!
- Verified traveler (8/5): Beautiul "Zen" property needs service improvements - My husband and I stayed at Tamarindo Bay Boutique Hotel a few days ago. The property is lovely but we did experience issues that prevent me from providing a higher score. The hotel has an ice freezer but there was no ice available during our entire stay. The manager said it was out of her hands since it apparently is supplied by an outside vendor. For an upscale hotel, I think ice is a basic amenity, and someone should go to the market and buy ice until the delivery arrives. My husband had to walk to the store to buy the ice that was needed for beverages and also for an injury I suffered on property. There is a code to access the back door and after entering the hotel I immediately tripped on a step (no alert or marking) and fell. While I was not seriouslly hurt, I did get a "fat lip" and scraped knees. My husband informed the manager. When I saw her, I inquired about filling out an incident report. I work at a hotel and this is standard practice. She said no report was needed. She never asked if there was anything I needed. I felt her attitude was to protect the hotel from any liability. Thereafter, each time she saw me, she never once asked how I was doing. Also, the outdoor balcony light timer was not working. Since there are no phones in the room and the office if often not staffed in the evening we did not walk down from the 3rd floor to report this. We took one of the lamps from the bedroom and plugged it in outside.
- Christopher (10/5): - The attention to detail and work ethic of the staff is remarkable, combined with a great walkable location and beautifully manicured gardens on the grounds, this will be a top choice for tamarindo stays from here forward. Thank you TBBH for an incredible week.
- Ian (10/5): - Beautiful facility. Very friendly staff. Excellent breakfasts!
- Joseph (10/5): - Clean and friendly, Nice vibe and close to town and beach. A very relaxing get-a-way.
- darryl (10/5): - Very clean and quiet. Except for the construction going on. 8 minute walk to the beach. All of town is easily walkable. Not much action at the hotel. They ask you to put your toilet paper in the garbage rather than flushing it. I would stay here again.
- Ronnie (6/5): - The beach is a long twenty minute hike from the hotel, on a very dirty road of red clay and big sharp pointed rocks. Pot holes galore! While walking to the beach a sharp rock poked through my flip flop and punctured my foot. You will definitely need hiking boots for that walk. Once you get back from the beach you will have to wash off your shoes, not to get the sand off, but to remove the red clay and dirt. Despite being so far from the beach, the hotel is situated in a lovely tropical area with lots of birds visiting throughout the day. The room was lovely. Very modern and comfortable, just like in the pictures. Our room overlooked the pool and it was very quiet and we slept great. Adults only was really nice. The breakfast starts at 8:00 AM and when I showed up at 7:59 the manager of the hotel gave me a hard time. I recommend the hotel starting breakfast at 7:00 AM and to calm down a little. Aside from the foot injury from out hike to the beach, we did enjoy our stay. We would not recommend Tamarindo though, because of the dusty ,pot holed, dirt roads, and the huge crowds. People like Tamarindo, because of the many restaurants and bars to chose from, but for us we didn't like the huge crowds. We did enjoy Longboards Sports bar though. They have the best Smoked BBQ we have ever had. Smoked with tropical wood.
- Ronnie (6/5): - The hotel was modern and very clean. No kids and not many guest. It was very relaxing and quiet. The manager of the property was a little uptight though. I was shoked that she asked me to leave the restaurant when I showed up for breakfast 1 minute early. Breakfast starts at 8:00 am and I showed up at 7:59 and she got a little bent out of shape. The hotel is situated on a very dusty dirt road about a 20 minute walk to the beach. When I say dirt, I mean really nasty clay and big sharp rocks. Lots of pot holes too. Also, the beach is extremely crowded, especially on weekends when all of the locals come down from San Jose. We went to eat at Lola's and that is a wonderfull beach, but I never want to see Tamarindo again. Too crowded! It's like spring break beach with lots of partying college aged kids with dust and dirt everywhere.
- Ross Douglas (10/5): - We had an excellent stay. The staff goes way above and beyond. We felt safe, secure and welcome. Breakfast every morning was great!
- christopher j (10/5): - Hotel and staff were excellent. Room was clean, comfortable and spacious. Location was very central to restaurants and the beach. We would definitely stay here again.
- Karen (10/5): - Staff was great! Very considerate and hotel had a nice ambience. The hotel is a ten minute walk from the beach, restaurant and dining activity. If you have a physical handicap or do not like to walk on rough, uneven roads you might want to stay closer to the main street. It did not bother us and we found it part of the charm of the entire community, but some of our older friends might not have liked it.
- Tausha (10/5): - Beautiful, clean and safe hotel and property. The friendliest staff I have ever encountered. Marie is a gem and valuable asset to the hotel. Bathsheba and Marie went above and beyond to make my stay as comfortable as possible. The breakfast was delicious, the bed was super comfy and the staff brought their dogs and cat to the hotel!!!! They also donate proceeds to local animal shelters! This was one of the best hotels I have ever visited. Thank you!!!
- Harry James (10/5): - Very nice property located in a quite neighborhood. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. I highly recommend this hotel to those that want to get away and disconnect.
- Amabel (10/5): - Very nice and clean
- Lior (10/5): Can’t go wrong with Marie! - We stayed here September if 2021 and we had an amazing stay! The rooms were clean and spacious,the pool was just perfect and the entire hotel is so green and tasteful, but on top of all of it,you got such a nice staff that are always happy to help! You can always count on Marie’s advices and tips because she doesn’t recommend based on businesses and and partnerships, she will tell you about the places she goes to and where are her actual favorite spots and she never misses,we had so much fun there we extended our stay at Tamarindo for that,We became friends with them and especially Marie! Thank you Tamarindo bay boutique staff. Ps. Josue is the best dresser in Tamarindo!
- Stav (10/5): Best spot in town - Basically it’s the best stay in town . Right on the beach, you have all you need in the hotel , it’s right in front of the surfing place , food is good and you don’t need to walk through town every time . Beat value if you want an easy stay without thinking what you need to take with you all time .
- Wayne (8/5): - Overall I quite enjoyed my stay! The amenities were nice, internet fast, and the balcony of my room was huge and quite nice to spend time on. The staff was always pleasant. My safe was out of batteries when I arrived but they responded and fixed it quickly. My main complaint was ants. Too many. I expect some in Costa Rica, but when I had to brush some off my shoulder at night that was very concerning. They did fumigate the room after I mentioned it, but they were still present. It was my one negative, but it was a big one for me. To end on a positive, the staff were great when helping me arrange a tour or even transportation to my next location in another city. That was a big, big help! Oh and having a secondary back entrance that saves you time getting to town was fantastic too. Mostly used that.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - The property is a unique oasis of calm and tranquility. It is beautiful, modern, comfortable, sparkling; excellent breakfast served each morning. This is one of the best accommodations I’ve stayed at over 30 plus years traveling internationally. I would highly recommend.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - The hotel is very well located and it has an extra private access to the main street which is very convenient. The property is well-kept.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Tamarindo Bay is a new, modern, conveniently located hotel. Our room and the facilities were very clean , however we were disappointed that our room was not cleaned daily and we had to ask for fresh towels and when we did they did not replace our beach towels. This is a beach destination and our towels were well used. During the time of COVID 19, cleanliness trumps eco-friendly.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Tamarindo Bay Boutique Hotel was the perfect stay! Hotel offers a very clean and nice stay at a super affordable price. Felt super safe, great location, and fantastic breakfast!
- Erin (10/5): Oasis by the beach - Beautiful place. The staff was friendly and very helpful. It is walking distance from restaurants and the beach but tucked away so it nice a quiet. Felt like a little oasis! Lovely breakfast every morning with coffee out for us early risers. They also have a few rescue dogs that stay on property. They are adorable and so friendly. We loved playing with them as we missed our pup at home. Would definitely stay again!
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Look no further! We had the best stay here. The property is beautiful, clean. The breakfast is delicious and the bed was the most comfortable we stayed in on our entire trip. Walking distance to food and the beach. Can't recommend enough!
- Fredrik (10/5): Something special - After having travelled more than most for longer than most, and this place deserves my first review ever. I ended up staying 5 weeks at Tamarindo Bay as this place just has something special. The space, the plants, the service. If you are looking for value and more, its hard to compete with this place and that seemed to be the consensus with the guests I spoke to. Thank you Tamarindo Bay
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Marie and her staff were great. Very attentive and nice. The location is great with easy access to the beach and restaurant and shops.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Perfect spot in Tamarindo - Perfect hotel. Rooms are clean and modern. Friendly staff and super helpful. Peaceful stay in a lively town. Close to groceries and great restaurants. Will stay again on my next visit.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Its very quiet and peaceful
- Catherine (10/5): Couple Getaway- no kids in sight (praise be) - My lovely beau and I enjoyed the beautiful serene atmosphere of Tamarindo Bay Boutique Hotel! Marie & Josué were lovely, and very tentative to our needs. They were enthusiastic hostesses & made the stay so much more enjoyable! To start off, the mornings begun with complimentary breakfast served on the top deck. Lily (the dog) might join you or Marie might serve you some fruit & bread with a mini conversation about Tamarindo’s local hidden gems. She gave us great recommendations about local restaurants and hikes. Additionally, we were lucky to stay in the Bamboo room, which came with the only Bali-like outdoor shower. It really was relaxing and the perfect addition to our spacious room.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Words can’t describe how WONDERFUL of a place this is!!! The building & location are perfect. But even more so, the owner & staff are incredible people. So accommodating & helpful. I truly don’t have one negative thing to say about our 3 week stay here! Better than we could have ever hoped for, truly. The atmosphere & people this hotel brings are just as wonderful as the place itself. I recommend it highly to anyone staying in Tamarindo & certainly will be back again soon. Thank you so much Tamarindo Bay Boutique Hotel, special thanks to Marie & Bathsheba, you guys are incredible!
- Verified traveler (10/5): - I felt very safe and comfortable at the Tamarindo Bay Boutique Hotel. There were all types of seating around the property to just relax in (lounge chairs, hammocks, etc) as well as games (corn hole, Jenga), an outdoor gym (limited, but enough to get a workout in if you choose to), and fresh coffee every morning. Eating breakfast on the Terraza every morning was a great start to each day, and a dip in the pool each night was a great way to end them. The management (as well as most of the town) are very eco conscious which was another plus for me. Finally, it is so close to everything you need: the beach, restaurants (amazing food!), the bank, a market, shops, and the farmers market. Definitely would stay here again.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - We had such a wonderful time during our time at Tamarindo Bay! Marie was so helpful in helping us plan some activities and gave wonderful recommendations. Everything was incredibly clean and well-kept, and the rooms and property were nice and quiet. We will be coming back again soon!
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Staying at the Tamarindo Bay Boutique Hotel made my first trip to Costa Rica (traveling alone, I might add) feel so easy and laid back. Marie was so welcoming and helpful and made me feel valued as a guest there. I felt secure in knowing that if I needed anything, she would be willing to help. The service was amazing and the place was so peaceful. The breakfast was also awesome! I would definitely stay here again! I didn’t want to leave!
- Verified traveler (10/5): - The property was comfortable, clean and well located. The staff was very kind and respectful. Would definitely stay again!
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Marie was a wonderful host! She was in contact with me to ensure my needs were met from before I even left the States. My stay exceeded my expectations, and I found everything I was looking for in the Tamarindo Bay Boutique Hotel: peaceful and well-maintained surroundings; close proximity to town and the beach, but far enough away from the noise to allow a restful stay; a delicious, freshly made breakfast every morning; and answers to all of my questions about town and local happenings. I definitely recommend the Hotel to solo travelers, like me, or couples looking for a relaxing getaway.
- daniel (10/5): Exceptional in EVERY Way - Tamarindo Bay Boutique Hotel hit it out of the park on all points for hospitality - -Informative messaging almost immediately post reservation. -Welcoming check-in with Marie and colleague. -Thoughtful tour through the property, room and amenities. -Excellent included breakfast cooked to order. -Convenient location. -Insane value. I am a local who needed a hotel for a few days. It made me proud to learn that my little town, I call home, had such a delightful place for those who choose to visit our town.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - I would definitely come back here. The property is clean and beautiful. It's near everything yet quiet and secluded. The owners are amazing. We were questioning about where we should take our covid test not only did she suggest a place she booked the appointment for us. I'd recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the area.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - If you're looking for a place to relax and unwind, Tamarindo Bay is for you. You can easily walk to the beach and into town. Marie and her staff are very welcoming and accommodating. Marie answered all my questions and helped book all my transfers, tours, and covid testing. Five stars!
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Very nice resort! Tamarindo is about an 1 hour and 15 minute drive (Southwest to the Pacific) from the Liberia Airport. About a 5 minute walk from the beach and the restaurant, stores and shopping in Tamarindo.
