Studio in Tamarindo

private room in the heart of town with breakfast - Bed and breakfasts for Rent in Tamarindo, Provincia de Guanacaste, Costa Rica

Everything was great. Clean and spacious rooms, safe and private place. The pool is a plus. Delicious breakfast. I would go back without thinking.

Todo muy bien. Habitaciones limpias y amplias, lugar seguro y privado. La piscina un plus. Desayuno delicioso. Volvería sin pensarlo.

Our stay at the place was great. Agustín was super friendly and helpful. The location of the place is ideal, and we really enjoyed the included breakfast.

Unser Aufenthalt in der Unterkunft war super. Agustín war super freundlich und hilfsbereit Die Lage der Unterkunft ist optimal und das inkludierte Frühstück hat uns sehr gut geschmeckt.

Very nice place where we only spent one night. There is a very good restaurant that is part of the hotel! Augustin was amazing, we had forgotten some things, we came the next day to get everything back, the laundry had been washed! Thanks so much for that! I would 100% recommend it, we came to surf, there is a spot 5 minutes walk, a rental right next door, great!

Très bel endroit où nous avons passé seulement une nuit. Il y a un restaurant très bon qui fait partie de l’hôtel ! Augustin a été incroyable, nous avions oublié des affaires, nous sommes venu le lendemain pour tout récupérer, le linge avait été lavé ! Merci beaucoup pour ça ! Je recommande à 100%, nous venions pour surfer, il y a un spot à 5minutes à pieds, un loueur juste à côté, au top !

Agustin was a great host! Very friendly and helpful with everything!

Agustin was the perfect host— he gave the best recommendations and was extremely communicative and often available on site for questions! We got to check in early and the savory pancake breakfast with eggs instead of bacon is a thing of dreams. If you’re looking to enjoy nightlife, this is the perfect location. The premises feel secure and private despite proximity to bars, the pool is lovely, and on nights out we even enjoyed coming back to the room for water or snacks or a bit of space before heading back out on late nights!

Thank you so much for this wonderful review! 😊 I’m really glad you enjoyed the early check-in, the breakfast (savory pancakes for the win!), and the nightlife right nearby. It was a pleasure having you here and making sure you felt comfortable and well taken care of. You’re always welcome back anytime for more great stays and late-night snacks! 🌴🍳🌙

Location was great, staff was even better! Would recommend and stay again. You can hear some music near by but it didn’t bother us or affect our sleep. Breakfast included was wonderful and coffee was 1000/10!!

We had a great time in Tamarindo, the host was super helpful and nice. Great location in the city Center and a nice breakfast. Can highly recommend :)

Thank you very very much Anne for staying with us and for taking the time to review us.

excellent location, very good value for money, very friendly and pleasant staff,it is very good breakfast

excelente ubicación,relación precio calidad muy bueno, personal muy simpático y agradable,él desayuno muy bueno

Muchas gracias Gerardo por tomarte el tiempo de dejarnos una reseña, es muy importante y gratificante para nosotros ver que tuviste una hermosa experiencia en Tamarindo. Esperamos verte pronto.

The surf house is in the middle of downtown, so everything we needed was walking distance, including the beach. There is a very good vibe throughout the space and they were super flexible with our arrival and stay. Always smiling and willing! The only "but" is the noise of the night. They already warn it, but it is true that if you want to rest, you may have problems.

El surf house está en pleno centro, por lo que todo lo que necesitamos quedaba walking distance, incluso la playa. Hay muy buena vibra en todo el espacio y fueron super flexibles con nuestra llegada y estancia. Siempre sonrientes y dispuestos! El único “pero” es el ruido de la noche. Ya lo avisan, pero es cierto que si quieres descansar, puede que tengas problemas.

Hola Cecilia!!! Muchas gracias por tomarte el tiempo de dejarnos tu comentario. Estamos muy contentos de haber cumplido con tus expectativas. Esperamos volver a verte por aquí muy pronto. Tomaremos en cuenta lo que aquí nos expones, seguiremos trabajando duro por mejorar. Saludos desde Tamarindo.

Our stay in Tamarindo was great! Very walkable area, friendly staff and the surf shop and overall great experience with the room. As pictured!

Hello Samantha!!! Thank you very much for taking the time to leave us your comment. We are very happy to have met your expectations. We hope to see you here again very soon. Greetings from Tamarindo.

Very good service everything was great. Just to consider the noise at night as that if it doesn't let sleep. Otherwise I would come back delightfully.

Muy buena atención todo estuvo estupendo. Solo a considerar el ruido por la noche, ya que eso si no deja dormir. Por lo demás volvería encantadamente.

Hola Luis!!! Muchas gracias por tomarte el tiempo de dejarnos tu comentario, lo valoramos mucho. Esperamos volver a verte por aquí muy pronto. Saludos!

Fun hidden gem, exactly as described. Very kind and easy stay staff was amazing and Wenceslao was very accommodating and responsive.

We look forward to welcoming you back whenever you want to enjoy another beautiful vacation. Greetings from the beach, Pura Vida!

You recognize that the room once might have looked like the pretty pictures, but ours definitely did not. The room and the pool area seemed as if they don't really care too much to keep everything in order for quite some time. We had stains and hairs on our bed sheets, pillows and towels. The bathroom and the pool weren't very clean either. The lady at the check in was very nice, but after that nobody seemed to care to much of us as guests. Breakfast was ok, but nothing special. Loud music at night time was expected and did not bother us too much. All in all it was ok for one night, but we would not come back. Also the price seems pretty for what you actually get.

Hello Stephan. Thank you for taking the time to leave us a comment. We are very sorry to hear that your experience was affected. We will take it into account and keep working hard to improve our services, paying vital attention to details.

Ants all over the room floor, sink, shower.  Broken doors, broken floor tile, too many windows with no cover! Never responded to my concerns with ants to today since two days ago.  Receptionist said she would contact him and he told her to tell me to request refund through Air BNB.  Very very noisy, not so much the music from the surroundings but the other drunk guests staying in the place banging on doors next to us.  Horrible place!  Their store and restaurant/bar are very pretty and good.   DO NOT RENT ROOM TO STAY HERE!

Hola Patricia, lamento lo sucedido,definitivamente nuestro alojamiento no es para descansar en lo absoluto asi como lo indicamos en nuestra descripcion... "Por favor, si los ruidos y la música alta son una molestia para usted considere hospedarse en otro lado. Es un lugar para unirse a la fiesta, no de descanso." Si bien, nos comunicamos directamente via telefonica y por medio de las chicas de recepcion asi que siempre hubo respuesta, justo al otro dia de haber realizado el check in se realizo el reembolso correspondiente y no 2 dias depues. Lamentamos lo sucedido nuevamente y tabajamos para mejorar.

Absolutely loved our stay! We stayed here 2 nights and although I was nervous about the sound they mentioned, it wasn’t as bad as I expected! The breakfast is incredible and the location can not get any better. The pool and lounge area was perfect for reading books and relaxing after a day of surfing! Would stay here again!

HI Halie!!! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us your feedback. We are very pleased that we exceeded your expectations and that you enjoyed your stay with us to the fullest. We look forward to welcoming you back whenever you want to enjoy another beautiful vacation. Greetings from the beach, Pura Vida!

Super centrally located accommodation. Large spacious rooms. Excellent food in the restaurant. We had a bit of concern due to the previous comments about the volume. It was significantly more pleasant than expected. A great place to stay and highly recommend.

Super zentral gelegene Unterkunft. Große geräumige Zimmer. Hervorragendes Essen im Restaurant. Wir hatten ein bisschen Sorge aufgrund der vorherigen Kommentare bezüglich der Lautstärke. Es war deutlich angenehmer als erwartet. Eine super Unterkunft und sehr empfehlenswert.

HI Peter!!! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us your feedback. We are very pleased that we exceeded your expectations and that you enjoyed your stay with us to the fullest. We look forward to welcoming you back whenever you want to enjoy another beautiful vacation. Greetings from the beach, Pura Vida!

The young lady at the front desk was very friendly, helpful and proactive! A super big thank you to your work. The rooms are quite okay for the price, the construction was not very clean. The bed is very comfortable and big. The noise at all disturbed our sleep.

Die junge Dame an der Rezeption war sehr freundlich, hilfsbereit und proaktiv! Ein super grosses Dankeschön an Ihre Arbeit. Die Zimmer sind ganz okay für den Preis, beim bau wurde nicht sehr sauber gearbeitet. Das Bett ist sehr bequem und gross. Der lärm hat unsern schlaf garnicht gestört.

Hello Stefanie!!! Thank you very much for taking the time to leave us your comment, we appreciate it very much. We will take into account what you have told us here, we will continue to work hard to improve and we will pay vital attention to details. We hope to see you here again very soon. Best regards!

Great location and really fun place to stay for a few nights in Tamarindo! Hospitality is great- everyone from the front desk at check in, to the restaurant staff, and cleaning crew. Free breakfast is a plus! Accurately described, if you want to join in on the party and nightlife it’s a great place to be! We would definitely stay again.

It was a pleasure to host you in our site, you will always be welcome, we are glad you enjoyed your stay.

Great stay! We had a dead cockroach in the bathroom but it's Costa Rica so did not bother us.

Great hotel with pool from which we were able to watch monkeys with their babies from.

Super Hotel mit Pool, aus dem wir Affen mit ihren Babies beobachten konnten.

We really enjoyed staying at this place. All the people working at La Oveja were very friendly! We really liked the vibe, food and style. Definitely coming back!

Great option if you don’t mind the noise,the place is great!

Great location, great service & great food!

Stayed here for one night and felt right at home. The restaurant is also delicious. I wasnt bothered by the noise at all to be honest.

it's great the place, good location, good location, very cute, and very friendly people

esta genial el lugar, buena ubicación, muy lindo y la gente muy amable

Great location and clean place, everyone working there was friendly and very accommodating

Right in town, super close walk to the beach, grocery store and everything else! The music next door is very loud at night, but that was expected as it’s been explained in the place’s description. Pool was nice and lots of areas to chill. There’s a market on Saturday mornings right behind the place to def check that out while you’re there!

The place was alright and you get what is promised, however the noise level is really unbearable if you don't sleep late and want to go for early morning surf sessions. There was live music every evening and the windows are really thin and rudimentary so earplugs were a must. If you're more of an evening person though it could suit you as it has what you need and there's the surf shop with rentals and services at very good price so that's a plus.

Great accommodation, we felt very comfortable.

Super Unterkunft, haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt.

The Surrounding was absolutly fantastic. The Surfhouse and the hole staff are very friendly, cool and family. Whole Tamarindo but especially Oveja Surf House radiate Pura Vida. And breakfast +cofé and the smoothies are very good. The room has a cute interior and two beds. The only points that can be improved are warmer water in the shower and the noise of the bar next door. Anyways we would always come back again.

Definitely the place is in a good location in Tamarindo ... you will need to walk approximately 500 meters to get to the beach… They seem to be trying to fix an arrangement around the place, and the entrance is extremely uncomfortable and dirty because there is excess mud and dirt. The smell of wood in which the restaurant is made and therefore the lobby is unpleasant. I don't know if it's because of the sun but I felt a very unpleasant smell while walking around. When I arrived at my room, it looks like they tried to make a change to the faucet but it is poorly done which leaves a slice between the door and the frame where you can see from the outside and inside out... the fan in the room is very noisy. And definitely the noise at night is excessive to the point of not being able to sleep, I touched the last room # 00 The shower appears to be dirty. Very dirty pool and regarding the price, I think the place leaves much to be desired.

Definitivamente el lugar está en una buena ubicación de Tamarindo … deberás caminar aproximadamente 500 metros para llegar a la playa… Parece que están tratando de hacer un arreglo en los alrededores del lugar, y está sumamente incomoda y sucia la entrada pues hay exceso de barro y tierra. El olor de la madera con la que está fabricado el restaurante y por ende el “lobby” es desagradable. No se si es por el sol pero percibí un olor muy desagradable mientras caminé por ahí. Cuando llegue a mi habitación, parece que intentaron hacer un cambio en el llavín pero está mal hecho lo cual deja una porción entre la puerta y el marco donde se puede ver de afuera hacia adentro y de adentro hacia fuera … el ventilador de la habitación es muy ruidoso. Y definitivamente el ruido por la noche es excesivo al punto de no poder dormir, me toco la habitación última # 00 La ducha se encontraba sucia. Piscina muy sucia Y con respecto al precio es que pienso que el lugar deja mucho que desear.

This place is great if you’re looking for something right in the heart of Tamarindo. Restaurants, clubs, shops are all at your door step, and it’s less than a 5 minute walk to the beach. The surf shack is beautifully designed, and the restaurant and bar do great food. If you’re looking for a fun and relaxing place to stay, then this is it!

Apartments is in the hostel, very well located, close to everything, only problem as spoken by others is the noise, but in the rest super good apartment, quite large.

Apartments fica no hostel, muito bem localizado, perto de tudo, único problema como falado por outras pessoas é o barulho, mas no restante super bom apartamento, bem grande.

Surf House was one of my favorite accommodations while traveling around Costa Rica. The hotel had a fun, laid back, social vibe. There is a restaurant and bar right on the premises and the location was extremely walkable, being in downtown Tamarindo. Breakfast and coffee were wonderful. Everything was easily communicated and beds were comfortable (each room has one king and one queen bed.) Despite being located in a lively area, we didn't have any issues with noise.

We got SO lucky with this airBnB! We hadn’t done much research and booked on a whim, but this was the perfect place. The host was very proactive and forwarded all check-in and directions early on. The place has a beautiful restaurant and bar which is open to the public. The private pool and rooms still feel secure and exclusive. They prioritize security and we always felt safe. They were transparent about the new bar that had opened next door that plays loud music some nights, but if you’re looking to get out and experience tamarindo during those hours, it’s not much of a bother at all. Any “parties” at the rooms or pool are against their guidelines. The host made sure to check in halfway through our trip to make sure we were happy and comfortable. Our favorite parts were the delicious complementary breakfasts, live music, craft cocktails, and friendly staff!

Really a nice place, it's clean and welcoming! There is a shop, restaurant bar and a cafe connected to the airbnb and the staff are really nice, the lunches are delicious. The only downside is that there is a bar in the nearby courtyard (not the restaurant bar connected with the airbnb) which is really noisy, the host had informed us, so we expected it, but it was still really noisy than we thought, so bring some good traffic jams or go out for a party! Otherwise the rest is really 10/10 really a beautiful place!!!

Vraiment une belle place, c’est propre et accueillant! Il y a un magasin, un resto-bar et un café relié au airbnb et les employés sont vraiment gentils, les déjeuner sont délicieux. Le seul points négatifs c’est qu’il y a un bar dans la cours voisine (pas le resto-bar relié avec le airbnb) qui est vraiment bruyant, l’hôte nous avait avisé, donc on s’y attendait, mais c’était quand même vraiment plus bruyant qu’on aurait pensé, donc amenez des bons bouchons ou sortez faire la fête ! Sinon le reste est vraiment 10/10 vraiment une belle endroit!!!

Surf House was what we were expecting. Nice modern place to make friends and eat a delicious breakfast! Thanks for hosting us.

We had a really pleasant stay at your place, thanks for this ! Would definitely recommend !

Good location, connected to an awesome coffee shop, bar, and surf shop. The free included breakfast is amazing. Really fast wifi to work on. Really enjoyed our stay.

Everything was great! The location is perfect if you don’t have a car as you can walk anywhere. Also, all of the staff was spectacular.

Everyone working at the Surf House is lovely and helpful, and the restaurant / bar out front is great. However, a lot less care has been put into the rooms / area out back. The pool is incredibly dirty, and the beanbag chairs next to it are covered in mould. The rooms themselves are clean, but in very bad condition with rust everywhere, dripping ACs, lumpy pillows, etc. They are also subject to loud music from the clubs until past midnight, as well as from the market from 8am meaning it is very difficult to get a good night's sleep.

Great location, central and able to walk to beach, stores and restaurants. Lots of people walking by which means great ppl watching. Staff is amazing! Breakfast which is included was delicious. Wish the açaí bowls were included as an option. Great bar and entertainment onsite. Neighboring hotel wasn’t following the rules and played music after 1am and our host addressed it as soon as we told them. We found a great taxi service and made friends with the folks there. The entire property fits the Balinese/Tico decor and we truly appreciated it. Thank you for a memorable stay.

Great location and restaurant! Friendly and helpful staff. The music next door can get loud.

if your idea is to rest, this place is not for you... there is a lot of noise around it... there is a disco bar next to the property that doesn't stop until the morning... regular cleaning... regular facilities...

si tu idea es descansar, este lugar no es para ti.. hay mucho ruido a su alrededor.. hay un bar discoteca al lado de la propiedad que no paran hasta la madrugada.. limpieza regular.. instalaciones regular..

Very good location, the reception girl was very attentive, and the food was great.

Muy buena ubicación, la chica de recepción muy atenta, y la comida genial.

Breakfast 10/10! Great vibe and amazing hosts. Close to surfing spot!

An excellent place, a 10 out of 10 for everything.

Excellent location, DELICIOUS food, very nice and clean rooms!

Excelente locación, comida DELICIOSA, las habitaciones muy bonitas y limpias!

Muchas gracias! esperamos volver a verlas pronto!

A very nice place, super nice facilities. The food is delicious and the staff are super friendly.

Un lugar lindísimo, las instalaciones súper bonitas. La comida es deliciosa y el staff súper amable.

Muchas gracias Raquel! Fue un gusto hospedarte

The accommodation offers everything you could want in Tamarindo, the breakfast which is included also tasted very tasty.

Die Unterkunft bietet alles was man sich in Tamarindo wünschen kann, das Frühstück welches inklusive ist hat außerdem sehr lecker geschmeckt.
