Hotel Tamarindo Village

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

Very cool place. Nice vibe. Walking distance from the beach and the city center, yet very quiet. Beautiful rooms; very clean. The AC system works well; you can adjust your room temperature easily. Very welcoming staff. They include breakfast, which is truly great, not only because the food is good but also because you get to meet the cook (she is a local) and the owner. This was our second stay there and will have no reservation coming back. (Family trip: 1 couple and 1 child 13 y/o)

Fabulous play to stay in Tamarindo. We stayed two adults and two kids for a week- loved every day. Comfortable, clean and staff is excellent. Highly recommend.

The property is set back from the main town which is great as you don't get the music noise which is extremely loud, it was 5 mins walk from the main streets and beach so was ideally located for us and there is parking if you have a car. The hotel setting is beautiful, with palms and trees to shade the patio areas and the pool/ dining/bar area is lovely. Our garden room which was near the reception was okay. The beds were very comfortable but I would suggest using cotton sheets as the air con in that room isn't very strong so it gets very warm at night. The bathroom shower area was lovely and the room was clean and tidy but a little bit tired in places. I would say that the room is a 2.5-3 star but the surrounding hotel area offers a 3.5 star. However we knew that we weren't in a 4-5 star hotel and the price we paid is fair for what we got and met our needs. Another suggestion would be to offer water in the room upon guest arrival as we arrived at night and were desperate for a drink. We were able to get water from your honesty bar but a bottle would have been lovely in the room for a quick reviver. If you want 4-5 star accommodation in Tamarindo you will be paying a great deal more and are likely to be located either in the town with all the associated noise or out of town, too far to walk. The owners, their children and their staff are 5 star as they are so lovely and helpful. We booked our Rainforest tour and transfers through Martha and it was all fabulous.

This is a real gem just a short walk from the main drag in Tamarindo. The owners were incredibly helpful and friendly, and our family really enjoyed their hospitality. the rooms were HUGE, the AC worked like a charm (thankfully, it was hot), the pool crystal clear, cold beers in the honor bar, really a great place overall for our first night in Tamarindo! We would definitely return and I highly recommend it here! Unfortunately, we had to leave too early to enjoy the breakfast, but that was our fault ;)

Fantastic place to stay! Comfortable accommodations and excellent breakfast! Martha and her family are personable and always available.
