Excellent location, lovely food, clean and easy! Wish we’d stayed here for longer.

Quiet and not many rooms so not crowded. Pool right outside your door. Water was clean and warm and always open. Next door to a very excellent restaurant. The Thursday evening social was a great idea. Very friendly guests.

Our stay was wonderful from the moment that we arrived. The staff went above and beyond for every question or request. The Cafe onsite was some of the best food in town and the pool (in the shade most of the times that we required a moment of respite) was always refreshing. Our room was small, which was perfect in its own way, because we were there to be outside and experience a different culture. They had a smart tv and we didn’t have to worry about outlet converters for out electronics. The shower had hot water (my husband was just being special and turned the knob the wrong way). The smoothies and coffee were a great way to start the day. Everything was great. We would have stayed longer, if I didn’t have to go home to my dogs!

There’s not really anything that I didn’t like about the property. If I have any complaints l, it is about creatures comforts that I realize are subject to personal opinions and expectations from not recently traveling extensively in other countries. I just need more practice. For example: Occasional ants (we were in Costa Rica…) Not being able to flush paper (we were in Costa Rica) See? Ridiculous and has nothing to do with the hotel. The hotel, was awesome.

The room was clean, comfortable, and quiet. Staff exceeded all my expectations and the hotel made it easy to meet other travelers. The weather was very hot in Tamarindo, and the hotel's pool was a great way to cool off. AC and a mini fridge was also a relief to the extreme weather. I would definitely stay again!

We liked everything about In The Shade. The location is in the heart of Tamarindo. The hotel is adult only and that benefit was fabulous! The pool is pristine. The staff is absolutely unbelievably great when it comes to service and assistance for setting up excursions and they are friendly. It seems to me that the entire staff wants their visitors to relax, enjoy and leave the work to them. I cannot say enough great things about the staff—10 out of 10!!!! The food they cook by the pool is amazing. The price per night is great too. Also the Dragonfly restaurant next door has fabulous food and live music.

Nothing.

Breakfast was good, staff very helpful.

Location was great, great WiFi

It needs better appliances and furnitures, it looks basic.

The location is fantastic, close enough to the beach and downtown while still being away from everything and quiet, it's just a short walk to anything you need. The staff is exceptional and really pay attention to detail. The food is delicious, the beds are extremely comfortable, and the co-working area and Wi-Fi are the best in Tamarindo.

The only thing I didn't like about in the shade is having to leave.
