"Our stay was comfortable and the staff were very friendly. I will note that the pictures depict a lavish boutique resort, however, it was more run down and could use some updating. The grounds were beautiful but the pool was often dirty and needs to be repaired. The food was excellent but very expensive. We stayed in a bungalow that was very small but comfortable for 2 adults and one child. Overall it was a nice stay. "

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was very friendly and attentive. I will definitely return. It is a paradise and a I think a preview of heaven!"

In the Shade Hotel - Coworking - Adults Only

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic stay. Staff were very helpful and really enjoyed the weekly social. Pool was lovely with shade which is very important in the Costa Rican sun. Breakfast was delicious. Enjoyed meeting the owner and his little dog Wyatt. Hotel was well looked after and well Kent. Water cooler available and tours offered. The monkeys even came to visit in the backyard one afternoon. Fantastic location, you are able to walk to many restaurants and the nightly market on Thursday nights which has a great vibe. Highly recommend and look forward to a return visit!"

Ten North Tamarindo Beach Hotel

8/10 Good

"I stayed in Tamarindo. This hotel is in the center of town and is a nice hotel. It’s a small hotel 24 rooms or so. Pool in the middle of rooms. Everything went smoothly and staff is great. My room only had single AC unit for the room and the room gets hot even with the AC running all the time. And I was the last unit on the top row of rooms and WiFi connection was barely in range some of the time . Other than those 2 issues. It was a great property and clean. Close to the beach, supermarket, souvenirs and coffee shops. "

Hotel Pasatiempo

10/10 Excellent

"The property, the staff, and everything about our stay, here was excellent. The location to the beach and all of the things in downtown or within 10 minutes or less. It really added to our trip to Costa Rica and we think the hotel very much for helping in every way. My wife and I had a very good time here."
