In the Shade Hotel - Coworking - Adults Only

10/10 Excellent

"We really enjoyed our stay at In the Shade Hotel. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The pool is lovely, warm and relaxing. We only had breakfast there one day but it was very tasty and fresh. The room was comfortable. Excellent location, just a short walk to the beach and many great restaurants, coffee shops and stores. I would recommend staying here."

Hotel La Palapa

10/10 Excellent

"Rolando is an absolute gem! If I could give him higher than a 10/10 rating I would! The whole hotel is a hidden treasure. White sand beach, hammocks, firm comfortable bed, hot water and great water pressure. Patio was glorious for morning coffee or take it to one of the beach loungers. You can watch the waves roll in from your bed. The value is in the location (walk to anything- 10963867ish restaurants, shops, markets etc) CUSTOMER SERVICE ❤️ and Costa Rican authenticity- if you want marble countertops and Gold Coast finishes this place is not for you. However, if you like kind people, a great beach and comfy bed- this is luxury It is enjoyed by those that truly value pura vida living. EVERYONE we met were repeat customers, from 2-10 years returning. Yes, it’s that good. BOOK NOW!! ❤️ "

El-Sabanero Eco Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were great ! The location is conveniently 15-20 mins to Tamarindo, which can save you a lot on the cost of staying in tamarindo. You can also arrange shuttle with them from the airport which is only about an hour away. The host is SUPER responsive through WhatsApp. You can also, pay through their payment system there and they will give you cash which is a great way to avoid looking for an ATM. "
