A verified traveller stayed at Jardín del Edén Boutique Hotel - Adults Only
"This was a really beautiful property, the location to the beach was amazing! The grounds were stunning as well! The staff was friendly and very helpful! It was nice to have the option to check out boogie boards right at the hotel, or you can rent surfboards right there as well. Our transportation to our next location didn't come until 3 hours after check out and they allowed us keep our luggage in a secure location and even had showers available if we wanted! This was a beautiful property!"
A verified traveller stayed at Capitán Suizo Beachfront Boutique Hotel
"Authentic, no frills hotel in a great location. Would absolutely stay here again. Private beach area with ocean side massage available for very reasonable price."
"Perfect Boutique Mini Resort!! Individual bungalow type rooms with daily service. The outdoor (open top with screen enclosure) shower and bathroom was a great experience if your ok with trying something unique on your vacation. The staff was great and attentive from arrival to departure.
The hotel is not new but definitely well maintained and clean. The resort is beautifully located up high and surrounded by a forest type setting, hence Costa Rica! The resort is on a slope with lots of steps but definitely not difficult by any means and bug spray should be considered.
Everything was close but definitely recommend a car as the roads are unpaved. We had no issues finding places to eat and shop. Lots to do especially with the beach just minutes away.
We stayed with a group of 10 with 4 bungalows. Breakfast every morning was awesome and and a great start to your day.
Highly recommended... We loved our vacation there and will definitely return!!"
A verified traveller from Orlando stayed at Hotel Tamarindo Village
"Beautiful property, amazing staff, specially Juan Carlos, Freddy and the ladies in the kitchen. The best breakfast we had in all CR.
Too bad it is located in a town where millions of dollars are generated from the super expensive restaurants and hotels and not one penny put back into its infrastructure. Tamarindo should have the best roads, sidewalks and a sewer system. I don't think it is "charming" to walk on muddy roads, right next to trucks and noisy cars. "
