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

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.

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.)

This hotel was excellent for our family of 5. We enjoyed being able to walk to the main town of Tamarindo and the beach (approximately 20 minute walk). The town and beach are somewhat busy which made us appreciate even more the quiet location of the hotel. The property is small but well maintained and clean. We enjoyed our breakfasts at the hotel as well as lounging around the pool. Also while not necessary in this area we rented a car and were able to park outside the hotel without difficulty.

I have no complaints. We liked the location as it was quiet and peaceful. However it wouldn’t be the best choice for someone who is adverse to either walking 15- 20 minutes in hilly terrain or taking a taxi to the town or beach.

Host was knowledgeable of the area, and very personable. The room was private, and so big. Plunge pool was perfect. The jets felt great. The surrounding plants were beautiful. The hammocks and day bed an unexpected, and amazing perk. The open air shower more relaxing than I could've imagined. The kitchen had everything I needed to make dinner from the nearby market. The main strip, night market, food trucks and beach were all a short walk away. Felt very safe. Also, the pool was beautiful, and the breakfast delicious. The small gathering spots that popped out of lush, green corners were so inviting. Can't wait to stay here again!

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!

Wish we could have stayed longer!

The property has a bit of personality that other properties lack. My daughter loved the bunk bed and our bed was comfy. Loved the design of the bathroom and shower. Breakfast was good. Enjoyed talking with the family who owned the property.

The location was a bit farther away from everything than we expected which resulted in walking down muddy streets. The construction next door had people living onsite and banging began everyday at 6am with constant burning of trash that always smelled up our bathroom. Pool had a layer of oil/soap on the surface and probably needed some treatment to clean it up.

Located only a few minutes walk to town. Quaint, clean rooms with a true Pure Vida vibe. Breakfast every morning was excellent. Every one of the staff was very friendly and helpful. Our family is from Costa Rica so we travel there often and would definitely recommend Tamarindo Village Hotel if you want a real Costa Rica experience right in town. We will be back.

A nice tropical oasis hidden in the city. Just outside the main downtown, clos by yet quiet and peaceful. Loved our little Casita. Main floor had basic kitchen , dining and king bed. Upstairs loft had another bed and views above the trees. Great staff. Good complimentary breakfast by the pool.

It is built on the hillside. It can take a bit to get to your room, especially the upper ones. The rooms are spread out over a garden, which is beautiful, but no elevator. Me and my friend are well into our 60s, so it was a bit of a haul. If you are a bit younger and energetic go for it.

Location walking distance to town, but still remote enough to enjoy jungle, nature & sounds. Very relaxing...Don't think your getting a 5 star hotel in NY to be pampered, and waited on. (The staff is attentive) This is what makes CR unique, feel like your off the grid, and immerse yourself in it all, and just Tranquila (Relax)

Good location and the Breakfast was delicious. the garden room was good. Bed was huge. and has a little sitting area. AC was great for this style room.

the Bungalow room was not good. the upstairs bed area not clean. the spa was not clean. the AC did not cool area with the two twin beds.
