Hotel Tamarindo Village

Really cute room, perfect for my family. A filtered pool, which is not easy to find in a privately owned hotel. Very relaxed, you could swim all night if you wanted, which was great for my family! We tend to stay out of the hotel all day and night, so swimming a little later was so great for us!!

We were a family of 5, we had a great stay. The hotel is quaint and great for relaxing with the family. We had a central pool, with a well shaded lounging area. The owners Steve and Martha always welcomed us with a smile and great service. Free wifi and the smart TV also had Netflix built in which was handy. They also loaned us Boogie Boards and stuff for the beach, which came in very handy and saved us having to buy them. Breakfast was cooked to order every morning which was also very nice.

The bungalow was perfect. Clean, spacious, comfortable, safe, and quiet. You can walk to the beach or rent a golf cart. Would return!

Tamarindo Village has beautiful grounds that felt like an oasis after a day at the beach! We looked forward to the wonderful breakfasts by the pool every morning that were sooo good. Our room was nicely updated but the beds were hard for our taste. We had a balcony that was by the most gorgeous flowers that smelled wonderful. It is a bit hilly for walking so you might want a car or golf cart however we did walk everywhere and aren’t spring chickens anymore. The real star here is the family who own and operate the property, Martha and Steve and Osuelo (not sure on the spelling sorry) and Hanibel. They are so sweet nice and helpful with the type of caring that only comes from a family run operation that makes you love it even more!

First impression wasn’t the best as when we checked in and we had problems with the safe lock (my husband ending up fixing), door locking mechanism to our room isn’t the easiest to operate (needs to be replaced) and we had LOTS of ants in our bathroom and sleeping area. We did contact the owner and they immediately came and resolved the issue by spraying an ant killer in the bathroom and the perimeter of our room. We did get an offer to get moved to another room for one night and then we would have to move back to our existing room as the hotel was full. We chose to stay as it wasn’t worth the inconvenience for one night. Pros: Wifi is very good, breakfast was cooked to order and was delicious, owners are friendly and helpful, Pool was refreshing and flowers are very pretty Cons: Hotel is older and could use a little updating with some TLC to the rooms and definitely the front reception area. It’s a uphill walk from the town and a little further from the beach (this maybe difficult for some people and if you have young children) We only had a top sheet for a blanket which we thought was a little odd. ( we asked for an extra blanket) My expectations was higher for the price we paid as the pictures on the website was nicer than reality. Overall owners are very friendly and accommodating and somewhat make up for the hotels conditions but we would try another hotel closer to the beach next time we are in Tamarindo.
