Search Hotels Near WAYRA Institute of Spanish, Tamarindo

"Small hotel with a nice made to order restaurant. Within walking distance of everything you need. Across the street is a grocery store, down the street is the beach, coffee shops, many different restaurants. I was there with two children (10, 11,) and my husband and we felt safe the entire time. The hotel has security and closes a gate at night. Would stay here again and would definitely recommend. We saw cool birds, iguanas and monkeys while there! "

"Amazing view "

"We had a nice stay overall, with a mix of highs and a few quirks. The space itself was nice and private, and we really loved how quiet and tucked away it felt—perfect if you’re looking to relax. The beds were comfortable, and the AC worked great, which made a big difference. There were a few downsides worth noting. We encountered a couple of spiders in the room and quite a few ants (though they do provide bug spray in the bathroom, which helps). We also had unwanted visitors at night including a raccoon and a skunk was very close….too close. The room had a slight cat odor, and the private pool/tub unfortunately wasn’t working during our stay. The outdoor pool area is definitely not a highlight. The walk to the beach is longer and a bit dusty, so we ended up renting a golf cart—which made getting around much easier and is something I’d recommend. Breakfast has recently shifted to a more continental style, I wish we knew this prior because it wasn’t enough unless you start the mornings with fruit (which was fresh and do yummy) and toast. the coffee was fantastic. Overall, everything was fine for an “budget” hotel. But I’m looking for something a little different on my next visit to Tamarindo. Lastly, the owners were always around and willing to help, which we appreciated."

"Amazing stay, from the welcoming and helpful staff to the comfort of the room! Will definitely be back! "

"Beautiful place. Parking was very convenient. "

"Beautiful spot, staff is amazing, access to beach and beautiful view. "

"Rolando and Audrey (at the front desk) were amazing! They helped arrange our transportation from the airport (both ways) but also arranged a shuttle to see friends over an hour away. They also arranged our surf lesson with Luis and we had THE BEST TIME. The restaurant attached to the hotel was great and had a “fire show” on the beach. We stayed in the Supreme room and the beds were great, it was super clean. We heard music from somewhere down the street until late, but it didn’t bother us. The town of Tamarindo is family friendly, lots of shops and restaurants. I felt very safe the entire time we were there. We will definitely be back, we only spent a couple of days and I want at least a week next time. Pura Vida! "

"Peaceful"

"Our stay at Casa Nahua was extremely disappointing and far below what the property’s presentation suggests. From arrival, the lack of a proper check-in process was concerning. There was no real reception, no structured welcome, and no meaningful ID verification. From a basic guest security standpoint, that is unacceptable and immediately undermined confidence. The Deluxe Double Room was in poor condition. We arrived to find it full of flies. The outdoor concrete slab was severely cracked, the interior walls were cracked, and the plastic wall behind the bed was old, worn, and dirty. The bathroom was also badly designed: the shower drain was clogged, the shower was not properly enclosed so water spilled everywhere, and the shower head was installed too close to the furniture. The room sealing and sound insulation were also very poor. Geckos got into the room through gaps in the walls, and at night we could hear music from downtown and people walking on the floor above us, making rest difficult. The pool was consistently dirty and appeared poorly maintained. Overall, Casa Nahua felt neglected, poorly managed, and misleading relative to its online presentation. I would not recommend it."
