Loved the kitchen staff. lots of ants in room. Road was very rough and needs paving to make it drivable. parking is limited. Could’ve used some paper towels, ice and tissue in the room.

My husband and I just returned from a 1 week stay. We wanted a more personal & authentic experience in Costa Rica. We picked Hotel Tamarindo Village because it was family owned & operated, not a fancy major hotel chain. The breakfasts were amazing! Martha and the staff were so friendly and accommodating us on recommending and arranging excursions. We got just the right amount of excitement, relaxation, with a person touch and affordability.

3 night stay for our honeymoon. Absolutely amazing stay. Very quiet. We had our own mini pool. Breakfast was delicious. Bed was very comfortable. Owner was very gracious.

This hotel is a boutique hotel situated on multiple levels so expect a lot of stairs to some of the rooms. We stayed in a 2 level room with an outdoor jetted tub surrounded by lush plants and a balcony where we could see the ocean. It was almost the top highest room on the property. I counted 49 steps not including a few slopes. The property is located somewhat near town. Hummingbirds, iguana, grackles, a crab and butterflies visited the property. Breakfast was free with made to order fresh cooked food. Each day had a different set of dish options. All of the employees and owners are very nice and helpful. The hotel appears to be hidden. It is on a dirt road that is not completely shown on Google street view. We walked everywhere to restaurants, shopping, and the beach. A small grocery store was nearby next to a bank with an ATM. A golf cart rental shop is located at the paved road closest to the dirt road up to the hotel. The dirt road has many bumps, and ditches. It is a challenge to drive on it without scraping the bottom of a vehicle. A golf cart will tip a lot but is doable up to the property entrance. Tour companies did not have trouble finding the hotel and will pickup at the front entrance. The only improvements I would suggest are handrails for a few spots that did not have them, better draining in the shower (the hotel is aware of it), and the sliding door into the room needs repair as it is difficult to open and close. I would stay here again.

The breakfast was nice. Checking could have been better with provided necessary info for our stay. Our room was not serviced twice (no fresh towels/bed was fixed-- did not bothered to inquire why)during our stay even thought daily service is advertised. Better communication with guess is suggested.

We had a great stay

The check in process was very easy. Everyone was very nice and the puppy and cat around the property are a lovely bonus!

Loved everything about the property. Only a 5-7 minute walk to the beach, but it is also quiet and feels secluded which was really nice. Zoe, Steve, Martha (owners) were very personable and helpful, they helped us get acquainted and settled in and made it feel like home. The room was cleaned nicely every day. The breakfast was great, and every morning there were different options. Last but not least, Bingo the cutest little puppy would run up and greet us every now and again, wagging that little tail of his, and we could not get enough of him. I would definitely stay here again if I ever find myself in these parts. Thank you guys!

Subtle hotel stay for those who are not scared of a little wildlife entering the room, primarily the bathroom (mainly ants). Hot and tasty breakfast served everyday, which you’ll appreciate once you see the prices around nearby cafes/restaurants. Steve (the owner) was very kind to me and my wife, and he explained everything we would need to know for our stay effectively in a 2 minute window. 4-4.5 star stay all things considered.

Welcoming staff and animals. Small, quiet boutique hotel within 15 mins waking distance to the beach and 10 mins walking distance to shops, bank, bars, and restaurants. Neighborhood felt very safe.

Perfect Boutique Mini Resort!! Individual bungalow type rooms with daily service. The outdoor (open top with screen enclosure) shower and bathroom was a great experience if your ok with trying something unique on your vacation. The staff was great and attentive from arrival to departure. The hotel is not new but definitely well maintained and clean. The resort is beautifully located up high and surrounded by a forest type setting, hence Costa Rica! The resort is on a slope with lots of steps but definitely not difficult by any means and bug spray should be considered. Everything was close but definitely recommend a car as the roads are unpaved. We had no issues finding places to eat and shop. Lots to do especially with the beach just minutes away. We stayed with a group of 10 with 4 bungalows. Breakfast every morning was awesome and and a great start to your day. Highly recommended... We loved our vacation there and will definitely return!!

Upon arrival we were greeted by the hosts who were extremely friendly and accommodating. All staff were great to deal with. The pool and free breakfast were extremely convenient, and the beds and air conditioning made our room a great place to relax after a long day. The hotel has a very friendly, family run atmosphere, and we enjoyed getting to see the Cat and Puppy running about the property! The location is a little off of the main road which made for quiet nights, and peaceful mornings to hear the birds. The balcony was a great addition to our room. I would absolutely stay here again hopefully in the future!

Info on what amenities were provided was incorrect. The front desk was empty most of the time we went for anything. The views were great, and the room was cool, but needed some updating.

Amazing loves how quiet and tucked away it was! It made our trip so special!

The staff were lovely and the breakfasts yummy. Very convenient to get to the beach or Tamarindo central

If you prefer a nice smaller hotel compared to the mega resorts, this the place for you! It’s set on a hill just a few minutes from everything. The property is lush with greenery and feels very private. The rooms are clean and, while not fancy, nicely appointed and clean. The bed was comfortable and the room had more than we needed. The pool is lovely and a delicious breakfast was served every morning poolside. With only 11 rooms we got to know other guests and chatted with the owners often. The owners made us feel like guests in their home rather than a hotel. It was such a nice stay!

The owners and extremely friendly and can help you with any local tour or dining questions. It is a little bit of an upward climb up the dirt road coming back from downtown but you will get used to it after a day or two. It’s worth it for the location just away from the busy downtown but close enough to wal there and to the beach.

Its a beautiful family run boutique hotel. We took the ocean view and private cooling pool room and it was wonderful. Clean rooms, comfy bed and amazing outdoor shower area. Breakfast has limited options, but is homemade and tasty. Steve and Clara are very friendly and have excellent tips for going around Tamarindo. It is around 15mins walk from ground zero. Will definitely stay again on our next trip.

We enjoyed our stay here. It was quiet, well landscaped, and we liked our spacious room with a refrigerator and coffee maker. Mostly we enjoyed it was quiet.

beautiful property. The hosts/staff are helpful and trustworthy.

Tamarindo Village is an absolute oasis of relaxation and the ultimate hideaway in Tamarindo. Everything about the property and people will make your stay special.

Really cool place. Good AC. Friendly staff and owner

I liked everything about Tamarindo Village but especially enjoyed the peaceful and private setting. I was traveling solo and stayed in #2 and initially felt like I was being indulgent with the size of the room but quickly gave myself permission to enjoy the tranquility of the accommodations. Owners were on site, very friendly and fluent English speakers. I was about two weeks into a trip and had developed certain questions about the area that they were able to help me answer due to my limited Spanish. The layout of the various rooms and suites into the hillside is different than most places in the area. Thankfully I like that but if mobility was challenging for you this might be something to consider. Clean, comfortable, friendly, private, all top notch. Mature landscaping allows you to feel like you’re in the jungle or above the canopy. I plan to return and personally do whatever I can to not stay at any one place twice.

From the moment we stepped into the reception area and met Trevor, we were greeted with warmth and charm. His welcoming demeanor made us feel like old friends, setting the tone for a delightful stay. The hotel itself is a true gem, surrounded by lush greenery, vibrant plants, and towering trees that create a serene atmosphere. Our room, number 1, was a haven of tranquility. With a spacious window and a large sliding entrance door, we were treated to a picturesque view of the sun filtering through the branches and leaves of the surrounding trees. The melodic songs of birds added to the enchanting ambiance, gently caressing our ears each morning. Each day began with a delightful surprise as we perused the menu featuring three different breakfast options, all brimming with fresh fruits and local flavors. It's evident that this is a family-run business, with Trevor's California roots shining through in the impeccable service and attention to detail. It's a refreshing departure from establishments solely focused on profit, as here, hospitality is paramount. Situated atop a hill, the hotel offers both seclusion and convenience. A mere five-minute stroll takes you to a plethora of excellent restaurants, while a leisurely ten-minute walk leads you to the stunning beach. The well-lit alleys provide a sense of security even after nightfall, allowing for peaceful nighttime strolls through the charming town. In summary, our stay at this hotel was nothing short of magical.

We were nicely welcomed by the owners. That is a very nice touch. Super kind and helpful.

Wa a last minute boooking. Decided to stay in the area for the night. Hotel was a great place, short walk to shops and beach, off the main drag, which was nice since the evening was quieter when we got back. Staff was friendly and nice

Amazing stay! This was our first trip to Tamarindo and Costa Rica. We loved the villa we stayed in (number 11), with our own private plunge pool, loft area and balcony. The main pool was always clean and very quiet. The breakfast daily was delicious with lots of fresh fruit, juice, coffee along with a cooked hot breakfast from the menu. The grounds are kept very tidy and the staff are super friendly and accommodating. Lots of stairs as this hotel is built on a hill. About a 5 minute walk to restaurants and groceries, and an 8 minute walk to the beach. We can’t wait to stay again! Thank you Trevor, family and staff!

We stayed for three nights. The owner and his wife were really nice and helpful. It was a 8-10 minute walk to the beach and the city center of Tamarindo but we really did not mind since it was nice to get away from the noise and buzz at night. We had a really nice and clean room by the pool. The breakfast was good, you could choose from a smaller menu each morning.

Once again we felt at home a the wonderful hotel. Breakfast is superb and staff is super friendly and helpful. We'll come back!

Spacious room but water flow and drainage in the bathroom was very poor.

Terrific and clean. Thank you for all your help! DJ Phill

Excellent location out of the hustle and bustle. Lots of stairs, but a beautiful spot.
