Beautiful property!!! Perfect little bungalows with a great restaurant and beach area!

Hard to find anything negative. You have to be prepared for what it is. This is not a polished hotel with marble floors. This is bungalows (really beautiful) in a nature setting. This means you get monkeys at night playing on the roof, they can be loud. You get racoons running around, but they dont bother you. This is Costa Rica. Pura Vida!

We stayed at the hotel for two weeks, longer then most I think. The bungalows are wonderful and the place with the restaurant / bar by the beach is so nice. It is hip, it is alive, it is cool, it is groovy. This is the obvious place to go if you want to take a sun-downer and realax with a good drink and some nice music. Every now and then the manager himself was standing in the DJ both. The staff is so friendly and professional and always have time for a chat and they can help you with anything. We had time to walk the whole beach a couple of times, checking in other places, and I dare say, this is the best place by far. At morning when you sit down by the beach to order your breakfast, the birds sing in the trees above you and later in the day when you lie on the beautiful sun beds you have a good chance to see the local crocodile (!!) come out from the creek to enjoy the sun. Just dont go to close, he is big. Food is good, dinks are good, music is good, staff is good. This is the place.

Clearly, being surrounded by nature, there were inevitably some mosquitoes bothering us at night.

Our stay at Ocho Artisan in Tamarindo was absolutely wonderful! The beachfront location is unbeatable, with a beach club that is hands-down the best in Tamarindo, and a beautiful pool to relax in. Our bungalow was surrounded by lush nature, with plants and playful monkeys right outside — truly magical. A heartfelt thank you to Priscilla and Zula for always being attentive to our needs, and to the entire team for their constant smiles and warm hospitality. We can’t wait to come back!

Beautiful rooms. Amazing location. Everyone is super attentive. Great food. Great food and drinks. Pretty pool and deck. Loved our outdoor table and couches. We felt very welcome They went above and beyond to set a lovely table for our son’s birthday. Loved it!

The only negative here is the level of noise from the Ocho Beach Club, that went from noon to 9pm daily. The noise carried to our villa, and was difficult to escape. We ended up eating at other restaurants outside of the property that had a quieter atmosphere for dinners. Would advise to consider the atmosphere and level of noise you are looking for prior to booking here. Without the noise issue would rate it a 5 star.

Had a nice stay here in an ocean-view bungalow in the heart of Tamarindo Beach. Stayed 3 nights and really enjoyed the hospitality, amenities and wonderful beachfront location. The bungalows are artistically rendered, with A/C, very comfortable beds, and all the amenities one might need for a few nights. The location is close to everything and the beach club set-up is the best in the area with nice beach lounges and umbrellas. The wait staff were friendly and very accommodating for bar/food services on the beach. There is a nice peaceful dipping pool for guests that is practically on the beach and a bonus. There is even a resident crocodile (Coco) who visits the banks of the river outside that was fun to watch. They welcomed us with a drink upon arrival and helped us plan a fun boating activity.

Eclectic design, creative and fun. Think Boho chic. Room was quiet. Staff were great. Right on the beach.

I like the fact that it was at the beach.

Keep your bathroom door closed! Open air bathrooms are so cool, but LOTS of mosquitos! Housekeeping left our bathroom door open one day and we had to sleep with our heads under the covers to keep from being eaten alive.

Very cool hippie/boho vibe at this boutique resort. Nice beach loungers and plenty of umbrellas. Beach front was awesome! Pool was very nice as well! Bungalows are tucked back in gorgeous greenery, quiet and private, even though the resort itself is just seconds from lots of shopping and restaurants. On site beach restaurant and beach bar with attentive servers. They even knew our names by the end of the first day! Gio was particularly awesome! Front desk personnel was very helpful in whatever we needed (Zulay and Priscilla).

The beach was fine. The water definitely not the pretty blue that I had envisioned. Approached by way to many locals trying to sell stuff. There were a few things that contributed to me not giving an excellent rating for facilities but they really weren’t things that the staff would’ve been able to address during our stay.

All of the staff were amazing, property was beautiful, food sooooo delicious. Loved that breakfast was included with stay.

We had a lovely stay at the resort overall - the property is well-maintained, the service was great, and the location is absolutely beautiful. One thing to note is that the main restaurant is situated on a public beachfront. From Thursday to Saturday, there's a DJ from Ocho playing high-volume electronic music from around noon to 9pm. It's a lively scene with lots of people eating, drinking, and dancing — definitely a fun vibe if you're traveling with friends or looking for a party atmosphere. However, if you're a couple seeking a more tranquil, serene getaway, the beach area can feel quite busy and noisy, especially with other loud music sources nearby. It's worth considering what kind of holiday experience you're after — this might be perfect for some, but a bit too noisy for others.

We had a fantastic stay! The villa was spacious and super comfy, with a big bathroom and a hot tub that was perfect for winding down. The bed was decent. The pool was a total highlight: clean, with cool water features, never too busy, and we always snagged a lounge chair (there aren’t tons, but enough to go around). Service was top-notch — the staff were all lovely, super friendly, and attentive. For a resort at this level, daily water delivery to the room would be a nice touch (even just in a glass jug!), but everything else was spot on. Breakfasts were great, and good restaurant food overall. Location-wise, it’s hard to beat: gorgeous beach, soft clean sand, fun waves for swimming, and great people-watching. Just a short stroll to Tamarindo town for restaurants, shops, and all kinds of activities. Loved being in the heart of the action while still feeling tucked away in a relaxing space!

The property was very Zen like with all the foliage surrounding the area. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Pricilla made our stay even more special with her attentiveness. The wait staff equally as impressive!! Paulo stands out to us, so warm.

Ocho Bungalows are perfectly located right at the beach, but you feel like you are in the jungle. We had a fantastic time. The bungalows are wonderfully decorated, the staff was nice and helpful. The beach bar is great and the food was fantastic. Great place to stay in Tamarindo.

When we first arrived, I was concerned about the unkept road leading in and the small reception area. Don't let that concern you. Once you have checked in, you will be escorted through the magical resort to your accommodations. Prepare to be impressed!

What a beautiful little hideaway nestled beachside within walking distance to nearly everything. Staying here was a dream come true, and more than I had ever imagined. Our bungalow was incredibly charming and fully equipped with everything required for a leisurely stay. Every detail of our accomodations was so comfortable and inviting that I wanted to just stay in the room and soak up the atmosphere. However, the beach was so beautiful, we couldn't resist. The restaurant was absolutely amazing, and served the finest tuna that I have ever had! The staff and the owner were so very attentive, offering personalized service. I had such an amazing time at this resort, that I am planning another trip back to the very same place.
