Hotel Perla de la Playa
"Excellent location, great facilities, wonderful staff."
The Coast Beachfront Hotel
"Clean and great location"
Occidental Tamarindo - All Inclusive
"Good resort. I suggest renting a car for expeditions. The beach is only accessible at low tide and waves are dangerous: not for children. Buffet is okay, probably better in high season. Restaurant is good. Overall nice stay but not a place I would return regularly."
Wyndham Tamarindo
"El Staff super atento, las habitaciones limpias."
Seis Playas Hotel

Hotel Mar Rey
"I loved my stay at Hotel Mar Rey! The location was very convenient and everything was close distance. The only downside is that since it’s right in the center of Tamarindo, it can get pretty noisy, especially at night. Overall, I really enjoyed my stay!"
