"Surf Ranch Tamarindo was an amazing experience. The attention from the ladies who take care of the cleaning and breakfast is truly unique — their dedication and willingness to help with anything you need is surprising in the best way, something you don’t see very often. The manager was also very kind, and the explanation of the check-in process was clear and perfect.

"We absolutely fell in love with the Pipe House charm and the warm and friendly owner! Great vibes, beautiful location just steps from the beach, unique lodgings and fun common areas to hang out. We can’t say enough about this gem of a place. We ate dinner down the way at the Swells Cafe Playa Grande. This is a very special place to be! I plan on returning in the future. Hopefully sooner than later. "

"I really loved my experience at Pupa House, and it really was that perfect accommodation for my tamarindo experience. Incredibly kind and helpful staff, delicious smoothies at their cafe, and a refreshing pool. Staying in a capsule hotel was a fun and new experience, even for someone like me who's a little tall 😂"

"I spent two days here and it was unlike any other lodge/hotel I’ve been to before.
The rooms are beautiful, the pool is stunning, the jungle gym is also such an amazing addition but nothing tops the the host himself, he made sure every question was answered and I truly felt at home almost 4000 km from Canada.
Pura vida!!"

"We had a beautiful 3 days at Capitán Suizo! It was clean, comfortable, and the food was delicious! But the most amazing part was definitely the staff - they were attentive, welcoming, and truly went above and beyond. The hotel is super peaceful but an easy walk to all the restaurants, stores and nightlife if that’s what you want. Thank you all for a great stay! "

"This is the second time we’ve stayed at The Coast and once again it was incredible. After a long day of travel, the front desk staff were genuinely happy to see that we had arrived and had everything ready for a speedy check in. The entire staff was very friendly and super helpful throughout our stay. We personally love that this is a smaller hotel, and all the tenants were nice and respected quite times. You just can’t beat the ocean view from the property. We recommend The Coast to all our...

"We stayed for a week and loved everything about this hotel! Staff is very polite and helpful, rooms are cleaned every day and breafsat was amazing! Pool towels are provided at the reception. Hotel is very close to town and the beach. "
"We came to El Mangar from very busy Tamarindo and I wish we could have came here first! The property is pristine, the front desk at reception were kind,attentive and so helpful and you got a feel of you are welcome here, it has been amazing!
The area is safe , secure and quiet , in the morning you can hear the waves from the beach :)
room: small and cozy , this is the cleanest hotel we have stayed in after being in Costa Rica for a week, I am very particular about rooms, yes there may be some paint chipped but that is nothing, the rooms are clean!
A/C works wonderful, actually had to raise the temp because we got too cold.
Showers - hot water !
Parking : directly across from the hotel, on a quiet road ( which is more like a small lane ) , your vehicles are parked directly across and infront of the reception area in a small parking area. There is a parking pass that you have to display but this gives you peace of mind that your vehicle will be safe!
There is a nice walkway to the beach, it’s about a 2 minute walk through a really neat forest setting, the trail is clean and flat, I do appreciate the beach being a 2 minute walk as you’re not surrounded by hotels and staring at a big resort right beside you , the beach is clean and not overall busy.
The cafe next door has amazing food!
I am so glad we came to stay here ! ❤️ we have had such an amazing time and I wish it wasn’t only for one day. "
"I Love this hotel. I have lived in Costa Rica 10 years in the Central Valley close to SJO airport for my work. My wife and I enjoy the beaches of Guanacaste so when I have a block of days off we will make the run to Tamarindo.
She found Hotel Perla on the beach so we wanted try it out. It is now our go to place! Why:
1. Directly on the beach. Our room is separated by 75' of grass and lounge chairs then the sand. The ocean varies because of the tide. At high tide there is typically 20-30 surfers enjoying the waves. We swam every day.
2. Customer service checking in and hotel questions is excellent.
3. Free breakfast is a 2-minute walk to Hotel Diria. Excellent buffet.
4. Access to two pools. One at Diria on the beach and my favorite across the street (Diria Condos) with water features and an awesome swim up bar.
5. Easy safe and secure free self parking if you have a car.
6. Easy walking distance to 25+ restaurants and bars, boutique shops and a little market directly next door for things you might need for the room.
Hotel Perla was recently remodeled. We prefer more of a local type hotel vs the fancier Diria next door for about double the price. (Same owner)
Pura vida!"
