    Our stay at Hotel Elixir was great. The location is perfect, really central but also tucked away from too much noise. The breakfast was excellent and the staff really helpful. Our room was very comfortable and spotlessly clean.

    My best decision was to stay at Hotel Boruca, the staff was always friendly and they welcomed us and helped us with a smile. The room was very clean and carefully decorated. The price is very good for the Tamarindo area and it's location worked very well for us, we gone to the beach, visit restaurants, we was only have to walk 200 meters. Definitely if I return to Tamarindo, I will return to this hotel.

    We had a great stay at Casa del sol. The room was very clean, communication was easy and the location was in walking distance from all the restaurants and bars but still in a quiet area. The beach was only 2 minutes away.
