The Iguana Surf Hotel is a great place to stay in Tamarindo. It's very affordable for the surf dorms, the rooftop pool is incredibly beautiful, the location is fantastic for surfers, and the staff is active, friendly and accommodating. They were very on top of scheduling excursions or any questions I had during my stay. They went out of their way to ensure I was extremely satisfied, which I was. A great place for those visiting Tamarindo and Costa Rica. This was also my first time visiting the country and I can't think of a better place for me to stay. Highly recommend

Everything was great and comfortable, good location, nice place, very good view, the sunset looks beautiful from the rooftop and pool, and the fact that it has a water dispenser is also very helpful.

It has everything a hostel offers! The location is great, the receptionist very polite, comfortable bed. They need more electrical outlets and the breakfast on site is quite expensive compared to other nearby options. The air conditioning in the rooms is unique, ours had problems and we spent the night in a huge heat, with no one to complain to or ask for help, since there is no 24-hour receptionist. But it's worth the cost-benefit for those who want to get to know Tamarindo in a more economical way!

I can’t thank Oscar, Yoss and Marcela for how amazing they were!! They were beyond accommodating, so helpful, always responsive. They really care about the people who are there and even though my original plan was to stay two nights I ended up there for 10 nights! Would highly recommend!!
