Our stay was great. Maggie was very welcoming upon our arrival and the other lady working reception was very nice and helped us book a tour! The space is very walkable to the beach and nearby restaurants and the local market! I would stay here again and would recommend. Felt very safe the whole stay

In the Shade is a great hotel. Just a quick walk away from downtown Tamarindo, the beach and local markets. The hotel itself is just off the main strip so it's quiet, and the pool is perfect after a hot day (or during).

Patrick and his team were incredibly accommodating, helpful and friendly. It’s a peaceful spot in a busy town, great to come “home” and kick back after a day in Tamarindo exploring. Would absolutely come back.
