Top Tamarindo Hotel Reviews

Jardín del Edén Boutique Hotel - Adults Only

Jardín del Edén Boutique Hotel - Adults Only

10/10 Excellent
"We stayed 6 nights. I can’t say enough good things about this place. 10/10. The best place we’ve ever stayed. Friendly staff, amenities were far beyond what we paid. I did sunrise yoga 3 mornings out of 6 and they were fantastic every time. The sound healing session was amazing. The food is the best food you will have EVER. Different menu every night and it never disappointed. The pools were fantastic, beach was amazing. It didn’t rain once the whole week we were there despite the forecast saying rain everyday. We had the superior ocean view which was fantastic ocean view with beautiful sunset views. It’s a great location walking distance from lots of shops, food, beach, nightlife and markets. The service was impeccable, grounds were well maintained and clean and the staff were overtly friendly and personable. Trust me when I say that the price of this resort is well worth it and you won’t find another one like it in Costa Rica."
