Our room was gorgeous, staff greeted us by name and made sure we had everything we could need. The beach was a 30 second walk from our bungalow. Absolutely wish to stay here again next time I'm in the area. ##### Laura Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Tara Nov 1, 2025 Disliked: Amenities My spouse and I were overcharged for activities such as massages, transportation, and a catamaran. We pre-booked with the owner of Ocho, and learned later that they overcharge and it’s better to work with the team on site or to book them yourself. Very disappointed, because the actual staff on site were warm and welcoming. Our bungalow had mold/fungus growing on the ceiling. Poorly sealed bungalows lead to more moisture and creatures/bugs getting inside. We would not recommend this establishment and we will not be returning. Nothing was offered to rectify the issue. Lesson learned, research and book activities on our own next time in CR. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/1e8d6e72-7ad0-49f1-a3fa-5d5cb698d12a-1761975131091.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/6033758e-9176-45d9-a8fd-9287244542d6-1761975130731.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/790c73c9-8929-4288-ad47-d3acbe49ab60-1761975131025.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/a431a062-05cd-4b4c-b14a-d49fef7b7127-1761975128901.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Tara Stayed 6 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Catherine Feb 2, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Beautiful grounds and beach ##### Catherine Stayed 7 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michael Mar 3, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Really beautiful facility! ##### Michael Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Maria Nov 3, 2025 Liked: Staff & service, amenities Bathrooms were very moldy, and the rooms smelled moldy. The Glass on the windows is very thin, so you hear everything, including the local clubs all night. Sat down for drinks the first day and was hounded by my local salespeople. I think within an hour, we had 15 people walking up from the beach to sell us trinkets, and the staff did nothing to run them off. They joked and laughed with them and gave them drinks. It made it extremely hard to relax in the restaurant area when you have to tell someone no multiple times every 3 minutes. The entrance to the hotel is also very sketchy. Our driver was like, "Are you sure this is it?" lol Other than that, it was okay. If they fix these issues, they would be worth the price. But the mold smell and mold on the doors are overwhelming. ##### Maria Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lacie May 20, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities The staff was all amazing! From the ones who greeted us, to the housekeeping and wait staff. All do friendly and helpful. The area was very convenient with all necessities close. Beach is gorgeous with fantastic massage therapists near by. Accommodations were just as pictured and we LOVED our stay at the ocho:) ##### Lacie Stayed 5 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mohammed May 20, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Had the most amazing stay at Ocho Artisan Bungalows. The rooms are decorated beautifully and filled with super helpful hardworking staff who will go above and beyond for your needs. Amazing views and easy access to beach, didn't need to drive around once during our time in Tamarindo as it was in the heart of the best spots. Mauricio, our server for breakfast, was a phenomenal server and especially extremely kind and helpful. 10/10 will be back! ##### Mohammed Stayed 4 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kirstie Aug 11, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Had such a great time at this resort. The hotel was super walkable and convenient. The outdoor bathrooms were a little odd for us, but still nice. Staff was super friendly and helpful. ##### Kirstie Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Tania Apr 8, 2025 This property is in an excellent location, offering easy access to the beach and a perfect spot to watch the sunset. However, the hotel itself could use some improvement in terms of room cleanliness and overall presentation. We did enjoy an impromptu DJ show during our stay, and would say based on our experience, it seems the property caters more to a younger, party-oriented crowd. Helpful staff, just not our vibe. ##### Tania Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Heather Jun 5, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Wonderful Place to Stay Wonderful place to stay.

Very nice staff. Food was very good. Walkable into town. Lovely beach area! ##### Howard Stayed 6 nights in Feb 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Marwah Mar 23, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Unsafe hotel- management not on site at night. We were unable to communicate with anyone despite multiple attempts to express our safety concerns and left in the middle of the night. There was no support from the hotel as we tried to cancel the reservation, and finally had success with our credit card company months later. I would strongly advise you check out Jardín del Edén Boutique Hotel. We were fortunate to stay there for the remainder of our stay in Tamarindo. Best wishes to all traveling. Pura Vida! ##### Marwah Stayed 5 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### dawn Mar 7, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Miguel and the team at Ocho made our vacation extra special. While the property is amazing, and the location perfect, it's the service from the wonderful staff that will have us returning each year. Thank you for a wonderful experience! ##### dawn Stayed 5 nights in Feb 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michael Dec 13, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Loved it all! Staff are unbelievable! They go over and under for you to make you comfortable Place was super clean with spectacular food! Highly recommend!!! ##### Michael Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michaela Dec 7, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Unique property in the area right on the beach. It's a busy beach but long and beautiful. The property feels secluded.The bungalows were very private and beautifully decorated. They are a bit rustic but feel luxurious with welcomed air conditioning. The staff were helpful in booking excursions. The breakfast included was generous. There was an on site DJ but we did not have the experience during our stay. I would recommend a stay here. ##### Michaela ### 10/10 Excellent #### carol Jan 15, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The beachfront location of our bungalow could not be beat! We enjoyed listening to and watching the antics of a group of Howler Monkeys in the trees above our bungalow. The restaurant food was very good. We enjoyed every meal we had there and also liked the walkability to many other beachfront restaurants. The bungalow itself has a unique Bohemian feel. We also enjoyed the nightly music and fire shows. As far as the service,Miguel, Miya, Sebastian and Jose were top notch. I'm sure I'm forgetting someone but the vibe here is very warm and welcoming. I wish we could've stayed longer! ##### carol Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Zachary Mar 3, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We had not been to Tamarindo so were unaware of how busy it would be. We chose this place because it seemed to be away from the crowds. The bungalow was great and well equipped. It could use some updated items and maintenance but it was rustic and we were prepared. The door did not shut completely, the lights were bright at night and the music was shaking until at least 2 am each morning and we were further away from the on sight beach club. The food was really great and the setting was beautiful. Everyone that worked there was extra nice and accommodating. If you prefer quiet, this is not it. And, it says adults only but there were kids in the pool. Overall, it was good for a couple of nights. We had booked 7 nights but only stayed 4 due to the noise and lights. ##### Zachary Stayed 7 nights in Feb 2023 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Makanda by the Sea](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-Makanda-By-The-Sea.h2328562.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Magic Mountain SPA & Conference center](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Hotel-Magic-Mountain-SPA-Conference-Center.h1636277.Hotel-Information) > > [Arenal Observatory Lodge & Trails](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Arenal-Observatory-Lodge-Spa.h11820519.Hotel-Information) > > [Kura Boutique Hotel Member of the Cayuga Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Dominical-Hotels-Kura-Boutique-Hotel.h5637504.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Boutique Casa Del Rio](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Casa-Del-Rio.h27603041.Hotel-Information) > > [Borinquen Thermal Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Canas-Dulces-Hotels-Borinquen-Thermal-Resort.h1155801.Hotel-Information) > > [Nammbú Beachfront Bungalows](https://www.expedia.ca/Puerto-Carrillo-Hotels-Nammbu-Beachfront-Bungalows.h11459871.Hotel-Information) > > [Crocs Resort & Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Jaco-Hotels-Crocs-Resort-Casino.h8741357.Hotel-Information) > > [Azul Hotel & Retreat](https://www.expedia.ca/Playa-Azul-Hotels-Azul-Ocean-Club-Hotel.h6776980.Hotel-Information) > > [Buena Vista del Rincon Eco Adventure Park, Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Canas-Dulces-Hotels-Buena-Vista-Del-Rincon-Eco-Adventure-Park.h1858721.Hotel-Information) > > [Rio Perdido Hotel & Thermal River](https://www.expedia.ca/Fortuna-Hotels-Rio-Perdido-Hotel-Thermal-River.h6371123.Hotel-Information) > > [Nosara Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Nosara-Hotels-Nosara-Beach-Hotel.h32722062.Hotel-Information) > > [Cala Luna Boutique Hotel & Villas](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-Cala-Luna-Boutique-Hotel-Villas.h1118539.Hotel-Information) > > [The Gilded Iguana Surf Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Nosara-Hotels-The-Gilded-Iguana-Surf-Hotel.h22186079.Hotel-Information) > > [La Mansion Inn Arenal](https://www.expedia.ca/Arenal-Hotels-La-Mansion-Inn-Arenal.h8254135.Hotel-Information) > > [Lost Iguana Resort and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Lost-Iguana-Resort-And-Spa.h1174121.Hotel-Information) > > [Capitán Suizo Beachfront Boutique Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-Capitan-Suizo-Beachfront-Boutique-Hotel.h1140010.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Garden Inn Guanacaste Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Liberia-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-Liberia-Airport.h2211738.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Boutique Lagarta Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Nosara-Hotels-Hotel-Boutique-Lagarta-Lodge.h12324224.Hotel-Information) > > [The Retreat Costa Rica - Wellness Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Atenas-Hotels-The-Retreat-Costa-Rica-Wellness-Resort-Spa.h10447279.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Boyeros](https://www.expedia.ca/Liberia-Hotels-Hotel-Boyeros.h11268329.Hotel-Information) > > [SoulShine](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-SoulShine.h46292420.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Hacienda Guachipelin](https://www.expedia.ca/Curubande-Hotels-Hotel-Hacienda-Guachipelin.h1122531.Hotel-Information) > > [Azura Beach Resort - All Inclusive - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.ca/Samara-Hotels-Azura-Beach-Resort-All-Inclusive-Adults-Only.h20586535.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Jaco Beach All-Inclusive Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Jaco-Hotels-Best-Western-Jaco-Beach-All-Inclusive-Resort.h54703.Hotel-Information) > > [Socialtel Nosara](https://www.expedia.ca/Nosara-Hotels-Selina-Nosara.h32620956.Hotel-Information) > > [Bodhi Tree Yoga Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Nosara-Hotels-Bodhi-Tree-Yoga-Resort.h10650362.Hotel-Information) > > [Villas Playa Samara Beach Front Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Samara-Hotels-Villas-Playa-Samara-Beach-Front-Resort.h888268.Hotel-Information) > > [Occidental Tamarindo - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-Occidental-Tamarindo-All-Inclusive.h793778.Hotel-Information)
