The spacious homestay has a flat-screen TV. Guests can take in the views of the pool from the patio, which also has outdoor furniture. For added privacy, the accommodation has a private entrance and is protected by full-day security.

It felt like an oasis on the edge of the hustle and bustle of the delightful town of Tamarindo. It was so relaxing and refreshing to come back to rest and relax at the Suite La Orquidea. Everything my wife and I needed to enjoy our visit was provided by our hosts, Mariela and Sergio. The pool was always clean, and the outside courtyard surrounding the pool was like a botanic garden. We felt secure, safe, and well looked after. Sergio made sure we knew where there were good restaurants and the best grocery stores. All around, this was one of the most relaxing places I've stayed in.

Boasting air-conditioned accommodation with a private pool, mountain view and a terrace, Suite Dream Blue is set in Tamarindo. This property offers access to a balcony and free private parking. Outdoor dining is also possible at the homestay.

A beautiful oasis created by the owners, Sergio and Mariella. Both are artists and have designed a space that is filled with both natural and artistic flair. The pool is cool and refreshing, the room impeccable and comfortable. A real treat and the best facilities we have had so far in Costa Rica. Would recommend highly if you are looking for a place to relax and explore the area. Everything you need is close by and if there is anything missing, the hosts are available at all times and happy to assist.

Set in Tamarindo, within 1.7 km of Tamarindo Beach, Suite Paraiso Azul offers accommodation with air conditioning. This property offers access to a patio, free private parking and free WiFi. The guest house offers an outdoor swimming pool, open-air bath and luggage storage space.

The suite was so well designed and decorated. The hosts were very friendly, gave us great suggestions for dining out and places to visit. They both are talented artists and their art is displayed tastefully around the property. Beautiful lush tropical landscaping around the suite gave a very private feel. The private outdoor shower was an unexpected and appreciated surprise. Overall, this little hidden treasure is ideal for any amorous couple to enjoy privacy, beauty, comfort, and quick access to Costa Rica's hospitality. The suite is located close to the beaches, restaurants, and shops in town as well. Liz and I would definitely love to go back!

This villa house is majestic and shows you a more rustic, beautiful side of Tamarindo Costa Rica. It’s very private and safe! The villa is lovely, open concept and comfortable and the pool and patio are lovely. The wildlife surrounding the property are all unique and beautiful and should be treasured and not killed if they try to wander in the house. There are howler monkeys, lizards, many beautiful birds, butterflies, and interesting native insects. At night you can see the stars shine bright in the sky with zero light pollution. The rooms all have a great size with private bathrooms each and all have an outdoor shower which is exhilarating. Please do yourself a favor and stay here for a memorable experience in Costa Rica. Eyner is very helpful in all ways to help get you from airport, get you rides to beach or in town, help you get food delivered right to the house (but keep in mind you will want to have cash for all these things). Look no further for your couples, group or family stay in Tamarindo area. The house has marvelous vibes and everyone is sure to chillout and have a great vacation together 😀❤️ Also, 100% stop by the nearest restaurant called Finca for a casado or pizza! So tasty! And make a trip to the Altos de Eros Spa ❤️ they pick you up and drop you off, and definitely a once in a lifetime experience.

    This place is awesome for what we desired - peace, quiet, great host with even better service. Clean, spacious with A/C which we needed because it hit 40degrees outside one day. Nice pool with great seating for relaxation and even a setup for remote working under a cooling palapa. Great location, away from the hustle of Tamarindo but still close to a few restaurants and an amazing quiet beach for those spectacular sunsets. Highly recommend for couples looking for quality time together. Pura Vida.

    Everything was wonderful! Agelie and Laurent were lovely hosts- so kind and helpful and communicative. We loved our breakfasts on the terrace- fresh and delicious! The location was great- close enough to the beach and restaurants and shops, but far enough to not hear the noise of the town. The bed was comfy, the room was clean, the property was lovely!

    The staff truly make this place. They go above and beyond for you, from Laura who is the cook/cleaner who makes the BEST breakfasts which are made with love! to the reception staff who make you feel like nothing is to much of a problem. The place is intimate but we loved sharing the place with our new friends who we got to chat to and learn so much from. There is a basketball court next too the accommodation where the locals played every night and our son loved to join in. We loved every minute of it!

    Beautiful little paradise with a lovely style! But most of all great hosts who took good care before and during our stay. They comunicated and organized everything very well. And also made great breakfast. Perfect for some days of relaxing and/or exploring activities and restaurants close by.
