Learn more about Tamarindo
Catch perfect waves on Tamarindo Beach where surfers of all levels ride alongside locals who've mastered these Pacific swells for generations. After conquering the ocean, watch leatherback turtles nest at nearby Marino Las Baulas National Park during their seasonal migration. The beachfront promenade buzzes with open-air restaurants serving fresh ceviche and tropical cocktails as the sun sets. Book a catamaran cruise to spot dolphins playing in the golden afternoon light. Beyond surfing, try zip-lining through the rainforest canopy or horseback riding along Grande Beach's pristine shoreline. Despite its popularity, quiet corners still exist – ask about Playa Langosta for a more secluded stretch of sand away from the main tourist flow.

Wyndham Tamarindo
"The photos do not do this hotel justice. The views were amazing! The hotel is very clean. The staff were super friendly and eager to assist. All the amenities were outstanding. The food at breakfast and dinner was great. I will definitely stay here again!"
Hotel Arco Iris
"Supernice and clean hotel with all you need. Friendly and helpful staff. Perfect little hide-away superclose to the heart of Tamarindo. Five out of five stars!"
Jardín del Edén Boutique Hotel - Adults Only
"The staff here are all amazing. Everyone is so hospitable. The breakfast spread is very nice and the dinner is always on point. I am a chef and this place doesn’t miss."
Hotel La Palapa
"A very unique hotel with instant access to private and public beach. However, the mirror in our room seemed to have mold on it, so that was not pleasant at all. Otherwise it's not a bad place to sleep after a day of activities."
Hotel Mar Rey
"Very cute property, loved the pool. Inside the room lack of electrical outlets made it challenging to make the coffee, and do hair. Also the mattresses were horrible! We actually had to turn them ourselves, because there was huge butt dents where people have been sitting in that spot for years!!! Just across the street from the beach, and many shops and restaurants in walking distance which was great."
Hotel Tamarindo Diria Beach Resort
"Fernanda muy amable con nosotros súper buen trato y servicio. El hotel es viejo pero frente al mar es difícil conseguir con tan buena localización"
In the Shade Hotel - Coworking - Adults Only
"Very clean and modern facility. Excellent staff. Sandra seemed to appear almost instantly anytime we needed anything. The only complaint was the road to get to the property. It is unpaved and if you enter from one end it is deeply rutted, and washed away. The other end of the street was much less difficult to navigate, but still had a very large pothole. I doubt this is something that can or will be fixed anytime soon. It is what you learn to expect in Costa Rica. Bottom line, we would most certainly stay there again."
Occidental Tamarindo - All Inclusive
"Hermoso , limpio y buena alimentación"
The Coast Beachfront Hotel
"Excelente ubicación frente a la playa. Un poco alejado del centro"
