I would highly recommend this property for a trip to Tamarindo. The unit is fully remodeled and is in very nice condition. The location is perfect for Tamarindo. It is super close to everything. You do not need a car if you stay here. Even doing some activities outside of town, the property manager set up ziplining and an ATV tour with a shuttle ride to the site. It is a 3-5 minute walk to the beach depending on how fast you walk. You can hardly be any closer to the beach even if you stay in the Diria. It is an easy walk to most restaurants and shops. The small grocery store is about 200 feet away which was nice to pick up food and drink for in the house. The air conditioning worked great. The pool is newly remodeled and very nice. We were able to park off the street and there is a security guard watching the property right there. They are almost done paving the street in front of the condo complex which is very nice. We would/will definitely stay here again!

Balcones is in an excellent location that has great access to restaurants, bars, grocery stores, shops and the beach. We love the sense of community here and have met may people that have become life long friends - we have stayed in 3 different units and this was our second long term stay of 49+ days. Unfortunately as Balcones gains popularity, the prices are getting unrealistic and are very inconsistent even though some have been renovated. We tried to negotiate a 60 day stay in 2025, but were unsuccessful as we weren't prepared to pay the 72% increase. We highly recommend Balcones, but be aware if you're looking for a long term rental, do your homework as rates vary significantly between owners even in the high season.

We were charged $1400.00 more than the stated price and have not had this matter resolved even after numerous exchanges with the owner and VRBO!!! The property had some issues that the Property Manager resolved right away but this property is not worth over $5,000. Canadian. We need a resolution from VRBO… We have been waiting several months and no refund to us has been issued. We have never had this happen before as we book on VRBO.ca and have ALWAYS paid in Canadian Dollars.

We enjoyed our stay at Balcones del Pacifico. The pictures are likely from before the owner started doing some changes to the condo as there is updated furniture and it could use some TLC (missing tiles, bathrooms need a bit of an update). There was great hot water and AC worked well although was quite loud in the second bedroom. The property manager was going to send someone out after our stay to check on it. She was responsive and also had a wasp nest removed quickly. The condo is in a convenient location to get to the beach and all of the amenities in Tamarindo. There is a supermarket very close by. The lot next to the building is vacant and has some activity going on, but there is a security guard that sits in the parking lot by the cars at night. For the price, we would stay again.

We loved this place! Sleep well with AC, then head down the hill (5 mins) to the beach until it gets too hot. Then head back to this sanctuary to swim in the pool and take a siesta. Then catch that perfect sunset every night. Rinse and repeat…
