Feb 25, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great location Great location, easy walk to everything yet still far enough away so that it wasn't loud at night from the nightlife. Clean and well equiped. I liked the layout. Lots of storage, towels and blankets. My only negative is the bathrooms could use some tlc. The toilet seat was missing a bolt making every time we sat down a new adventure. It took 4 days to be repaired. The bathrooms are either water stained or haven't been deep cleaned in a while. Overall I would recommend ##### Brad B. Stayed 7 nights in Feb 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Jessie H. Jul 10, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location #### Stay Location is good, refrigerator needs care or better yet a new one, it leaks. Master bedroom bed also needs improvement, better yet , change. Main negative issue is parking, Listing gives the impresión cars will be parked securely, actually you have to park in the parkway outside and car is watched by a guard outside. Not ideal , will not go back. ##### Jessie H. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Lindsay H. Apr 8, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, location Disliked: Communication, listing accuracy #### Excellent location & great unit, suitable for short term stays Balcones is in an excellent location that has great access to restaurants, bars, grocery stores, shops and the beach. We love the sense of community here and have met may people that have become life long friends - we have stayed in 3 different units and this was our second long term stay of 49+ days. Unfortunately as Balcones gains popularity, the prices are getting unrealistic and are very inconsistent even though some have been renovated. We tried to negotiate a 60 day stay in 2025, but were unsuccessful as we weren't prepared to pay the 72% increase. We highly recommend Balcones, but be aware if you're looking for a long term rental, do your homework as rates vary significantly between owners even in the high season. ##### Lindsay H. Stayed 35 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jeanne & Mark A. Apr 18, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Loved the location and accommodation! Wonderful condo with great amenities. Everything you need to feel at home, including a fully equipped kitchen. The host even included basic spices for cooking and kitchen cleaning supplies. There’s a washer and dryer and it was nice to be able to wash our clothes before heading to our next destination. The beds and pillows were quite comfortable and the condo was very quiet even though many of the condos were occupied. The property is gated and there is a security guard on duty at night that monitors the property. The location is magnificent. We were within a stone’s throw of the market and bakery and enjoyed the 2 minute walk in the morning for delicious fresh baked bread and pastries. The hustle and bustle of Tamarindo town is less than a 5 minute walk away, but the condo is far enough away to still find peace and quiet. I did enjoy sitting on the balcony at night and listening to the sound of the music from downtown softly waifing through the trees, accompanied by the occasional roar of howler monkeys in a tree around the corner. The host was very responsive and gave us some great tips on where to dine. The people we met who either worked there or were visiting were friendly and welcoming. All in all, I recommend this lovely condo with a great view of the community pool below. ##### Jeanne & Mark A. Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Scott M. Aug 5, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great place! Great location! I would highly recommend this property for a trip to Tamarindo. The unit is fully remodeled and is in very nice condition. The location is perfect for Tamarindo. It is super close to everything. You do not need a car if you stay here. Even doing some activities outside of town, the property manager set up ziplining and an ATV tour with a shuttle ride to the site. It is a 3-5 minute walk to the beach depending on how fast you walk. You can hardly be any closer to the beach even if you stay in the Diria. It is an easy walk to most restaurants and shops. The small grocery store is about 200 feet away which was nice to pick up food and drink for in the house. The air conditioning worked great. The pool is newly remodeled and very nice. We were able to park off the street and there is a security guard watching the property right there. They are almost done paving the street in front of the condo complex which is very nice. We would/will definitely stay here again! ##### Scott M. Stayed 8 nights in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Jodi S. Mar 29, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Affordable family stay in Tamarindo We enjoyed our stay at Balcones del Pacifico. The pictures are likely from before the owner started doing some changes to the condo as there is updated furniture and it could use some TLC (missing tiles, bathrooms need a bit of an update). There was great hot water and AC worked well although was quite loud in the second bedroom. The property manager was going to send someone out after our stay to check on it. She was responsive and also had a wasp nest removed quickly. The condo is in a convenient location to get to the beach and all of the amenities in Tamarindo. There is a supermarket very close by. The lot next to the building is vacant and has some activity going on, but there is a security guard that sits in the parking lot by the cars at night. For the price, we would stay again. ##### Jodi S. Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Lynn R.

We were charged $1400.00 more than the stated price and have not had this matter resolved even after numerous exchanges with the owner and VRBO!!! The property had some issues that the Property Manager resolved right away but this property is not worth over $5,000. Canadian. We need a resolution from VRBO… We have been waiting several months and no refund to us has been issued. We have never had this happen before as we book on VRBO.ca and have ALWAYS paid in Canadian Dollars. ##### Lynn R. Stayed 22 nights in Apr 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ira F.

It is in the middle of everything and has access to everything Tamarindo has to offer. You are only a few steps from restaurants and bars, the supermarket, or the beach. In addition to having a great location, it has a great pool for those lazy days. ##### Ira F. Stayed 7 nights in Dec 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Daniela C.

Very spacious, comfortable beds and lots of towels, bedding and even an air mattress available. The decor was nice and the owner has a binder with lots of helpful info on different places to eat and do activities. The internet worked great and fast. The ac worked great as well in the entire place.The location was perfect. It was close to everything. Literally, less than a 5 minute walk to restaurants and stores. At night it was very quiet. Even though it has no elevator, it was not bad going to the 2nd floor. The only two flaws I found were that the lights in the house were not as bright and that the apartmentwas not ready when we arrived for check in. Other than that, I would highly recommend staying there. I would definitely book the place again. ##### Daniela C.

Piscina sucia muchas veces, atención de María (manager local) mala y descortés, lugar muy bien ubicado, en general bien ##### Verified traveller Stayed 5 nights in Apr 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Carolyn C. Mar 26, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A wonderful spot to stay in Tamarindo! We enjoyed our 4 night stay in this spacious, clean, well appointed apartment. We were comfortable and appreciated the close proximity to the beach, the refreshing pool, and the security (although we felt safe and secure the entire time in Costa Rica). What a wonderful country with so much to offer. There is a market on Saturday just a couple minutes walk away and a super mercado just is also a very short walk away. We had no problem parking our car there, but really didn't need a car since everything is within walking distance. Enjoy your visit! ##### Carolyn C.
