    Our plunge pool could use a deeper clean and softer sheets would make it extra comfy, but we loved our stay!!

    Good location just a quick walk to the beach and the busier area of town, without being in the thick of the hustle and bustle!

    Super cute, cosy, comfy, clean hotel. The room I had was very spacious and the bathroom is such an amazing feature. It feels like you are in the Costa Rican jungle while being 5 minutes from town. Lovely staff and the pool was gorgeous. Very intimate and sweet hotel.

    The road leading up to the hotel is pretty rough.

    This hotel was perfect for our one night stay in Tamarindo. It was close enough to town and beaches yet far enough from the noisy nightlife revelries. Good breakfast. Remember to tip the cook and housekeeping.

    The property has a lot of character and the staff was fantastic. Our kids enjoyed the pool and the breakfast was tasty. It was a great way to start the day. The room was perfect for our large family and the bathroom shower was relaxing

    If you have people with walking impairments, you will be walking uphill from the beach at the end of a day! But honestly, our group didn’t mind; it was good to get our steps in, and we enjoyed relaxing by the pool at the property.

    I liked that it was NOT a huge property, but the rooms were large & very clean, and the grounds are lush & tropical. The hosts Martha & Steve are so welcoming & helpful! The breakfasts are made to order and wonderful! :) Staff are friendly. I highly recommend Tamarindo Village!!

    There were many levels of steps that we had to climb to get to our sweet bungalow. Also, to walk to town, we had to climb up and down a couple of steep streets.

    We loved that it was located in a lush environment where we could hear plenty of birds and occasionally, the howler monkeys!

    The location was a little bit of a walk from the main part of town but very manageable and made for a good night's rest since it was quieter.

    Felt immersed in nature, the price was great, the breakfast was fantastic, and the on-site pets were sweet. Our room was clean and spacious, and the bed was comfortable. I liked that there was an extra blanket as it's hard for me to sleep with only a sheet. The owner and staff were very friendly as well. We only stayed one night as we were meeting friends at a larger hotel but if it was just the two of us I would have stayed here longer.

    The space for parking is small but that’s a nitpick.

    I really enjoyed our stay here and was happy to support a family run hotel! The location is about a 10 minute walk from the rest of town and beach, and is on a hill that separates it from the bustle of Tamarindo. The garden made me feel like I was back in the jungle, and while we didn’t see any I heard monkeys may sometimes visit! I wish I was able to have more of the breakfast, but what I did have was very good, some of the tastiest rice and beans I had on the trip (of which there were many). The a/c worked intensely, which is very much needed in the extremely hot and humid Tamarindo. They put a bow on the toilet made from toilet paper which I found so cute and funny lol. I would absolutely recommend compared to other properties in Tamarindo; the other hotels I viewed didn’t look as good for their value. I booked through booking.com because I didn’t understand the differences of the rooms in on website.

    The location up from the main drag. The roads are a bit treacherous (I fell twice slipping off the sloped edge). (Of course, it's still not a far walk to the beach, but far enough that the black Voldemort birds didn't wake us.)

    The honour system bar, the room with private terrace, kitchenette and a huge bathroom, the pool upkeep, the friendly hosts, the free breakfast! The groundskeeper sweeping up before we awoke! The other guests mingling over breakfast. Also liked that our hosts were happy to arrange tours and our shuttles from and back to the airport.

    More information on the website about location away from town core to know about walking uphill for mobility concerns.

    Staff were great and breakfast was included. I enjoyed having kitchen amenities (fridge, microwave).

    Wish we could have stayed longer!

    Breakfast was great! Casado with eggs made to order, fresh fruit, juice and coffee. Pool was great and under utilized. Breakfast was right on the patio, honor bar with lots of beverage selections. Room was huge (was a last minute booking) with a huge lovely bathroom and kitchenette. It had more more beds than we had people, lol,—would have been great for a family! Location was on a private road, felt safe and away from the hustle and bustle of Tamarindo but very walkable and easily accessible to everything. Staff was very friendly and available. Felt safe and would come back again!
