Among the facilities at this property are a shared kitchen and a tour desk, along with free WiFi throughout the property. The property is non-smoking and is located 800 metres from Edgardo Baltodano Stadium. We just did an overnight stay here but it would be a great spot to do multiple days with the kitchen and living space. Super clean and comfortable!

Situated in Tamarindo, 500 metres from Tamarindo Beach, TamaHostel & Glamping features accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a garden and a shared lounge. Among the facilities at this property are a shared kitchen and a tour desk, along with free WiFi throughout the property. The accommodation provides airport transfers, while a car rental service is also available. The king room was a huge separate building and one of the comfiest beds ever. Tons of space. The pool was so refreshing, I saw tons of birds and iguana. The people were really friendly, and the kitchen had what you need to cook + some coffee in the morning. I appreciated that it was a little out of the way of the busy part of town, ~a 10 minute walk from the main stuff in town

Offering an extensive garden with an outdoor lounge area, a shared living room with TV and swimming pool, Hostel La Botella de Leche is located 300 metres from Tamarindo Beach.

Hostel La Botella de Leche is 5 minutes’ walk from Tamarindo town centre and 1 hour’s drive from Daniel Oduber International Airport. If you take the time to get to know all the people who work there, you’ll have the best possible stay in Tamarindo. The common areas and the vibe of the hostel are warm and family-like. I always slept really well, and having access to a real gym is a huge bonus. I highly recommend it. Big thanks to everyone I met there, and especially to the staff (extra shoutout to Jeronimo, my brother) 🙏🏽
