We happened upon this lovely little hotel after our plans changed last minute and we ended up in Tamarindo. The staff was very friendly and very welcoming. The room was spacious and had everything that we needed. We were situated next to the pool which had a lovely covered seating area where we spent a lot of time sitting and enjoying the beautiful trees and flowers that surrounded it. A hot breakfast was available every morning and the food was very good. They also had tosst, cereal and fruit available. There was an honor bar located next to the pool which was great when you needed a beverage but did not want to walk to the store. This hotel was a little off of the main strip but it made it very quiet and the walk into town and to the beach was not bad at all. We would definitely stay here again if we find ourselves back in the area.
This hotel is amazing... We were a family of 4 and we had an amazing experience... The breakfast each day was great and the owner Steve is such a great resource for excursions. I always felt well taken care of and safe... I recommend this boutique hotel without any reservations.

Liked: Staff & service
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.
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.
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.
