Studio in Tamarindo

Poolside Queen Room w/ Patio, Hotel in the Shade - Hotels for Rent in Tamarindo, Provincia de Guanacaste, Costa Rica

Amazing location walking distance to everything. Pool is huge plus.

Great stay! Clean, fast wifi, great location, lots of parking. Easy communication with Sandra, Patrick, and Maggie.

Excellent service from Maggie and Sandra.

Hotel in the shade was perfect. Great location, staff and breakfast!!! Couldn't have had a better time!

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.

Great location, very close to town and restaurants, lots of activities near by. Staff was friendly and helpful!

Very pleasant atmosphere and courteous staff. Thank you for everything, and I would recommend it at any time.

Sehr angenehme Atmosphäre und zuvorkommende Mitarbeiterinnen. Danke für alles und ich würde es jederzeit weiterempfehlen.

The minute I arrived Patrick was waiting at my taxi. They took my bag and led me to the back, past the pool to check in which was easy and welcoming. I was fortunate that my room was ready as it was earlier than check-in time. My room was clean and perfect and I felt safe as a female solo traveller. The small boutique hotel offers daily breakfast (I don’t eat breakfast but I did enjoy this fruit bowl which lasted me 3 days. I had a mini fridge in my room which i stored in there. I enjoyed coffee in the am by the lounge chairs which was complimentary. I went to surf and was provided with some great tips on how to prepare which I appreciated. The day I left Maggie who is from France and runs the place (so friendly and helpful) suggested I take a breakfast burrito and I can’t tell you how she saved me. Long line ups at airport and hot. Just made my flight and was starved. I would not hesitate to stay here again. I absolutely loved Tamarindo, the vibe and weather were perfect. Gracias

I'll start with the room, which was amazing and comfortable. Everything was clean and every time we asked for cleaning, they cleaned and tidied. It was really perfect in every way. The service was excellent. The breakfast meals were excellent. The most outstanding thing was the amazing staff at the hotel. They were so kind and pleasant, everything we wanted and asked for straight away without hesitation. Really amazing. The manager was also amazing with his dog Wyatt, who we immediately fell in love with when we saw him. There is a procedure at the hotel every Thursday night, they have a small and pleasant party, the hotel brings food and drinks to everyone in the hotel, they sit together and get to know each other Perfect idea!! And the hotel itself is crazy stylish, everything is designed and pleasant, the pool is pleasant and fun, really makes a good atmosphere and we will of course go back there

אתחיל מהחדר שהיה מדהים ונוח הכל נקי וכל פעם שביקשנו נקיון ישר ניקו וסידרו באמת שהיה מושלם מכל הבחינות השירות היה מעולה הארוחות בוקר היו מצויינות הדבר שהכי בלט היה הצוות המדהים במלון כמה שהם היו אדיבים ונעימים כל דבר שרצינו וביקשנו ישר בלי להסס באמת מדהימים המנהל היה גם כן מדהים עם וויאיט הכלב שלו שמייד שראינו אותו התלהבנו יש נוהל במלון בכל חמישי בערב עושים כזה מסיבה קטנה ונעימה המלון מביא אוכל ושתייה לכל מי שבמלון יושבים ביחד ומכירים אחד את השני רעיון מושלם!! והמלון עצמוו סטייל בטירוף הכל מעוצב ונעים הבריכה נעימה וכיפית באמת עושה אווירה טובה ואנחנו כמובן עוד נחזור לשם

Amazing. Great location. Sandra was extremely helpful and booked all airport transportation and excursions for us.

Patrick and his staff were very friendly. They gave us great tips on what to do and always followed up. Would definitely return.

I had a great stay at your place.  Great walking distance, no car needed.

Wonderful place to stay while in town! Walking distance to shops, food, and activities!

Nice place to stay in Tamarindo. Well Located. Only 10 minute walk to the beach.

A easy going place to be. It’s right in the center of everything but literally in its own secluded area. Walkable to bars, beach and restaurants . Five minute walk to the beach . Great customer service and the receptionist helped us with transportation to guanacaste. Good food on-site to the in the shade cafe for breakfast and lunch. We will be returning . Great place for the right price .

I had a really great stay here! The hosts were very friendly and always made us feel welcome. They kept us informed about different events happening in the area, and even hosted a fun Thursday social for everyone at the Airbnb — such a great touch. My room was perfect for 10days: clean, comfortable, and exactly what I needed. The kitchenette was super handy and made it easy to cook meals during our stay. The property had everything you could need, including a cute little café right on-site. Overall, I had a great time and would definitely recommend this Airbnb to anyone visiting Costa Rica!

Needed something quick and easy for the night. Reason for 4 stars is the apartments very small and there are better options for the price in tamarindo area. Host seemed bothered I was able to book the property at 7:45 at night, he said it usually shuts off people booking. I apologized and he says nothing, I felt like an inconvenience. Also it can be hard to find, it will take you somewhere else

Great spot for short term visit and value priced great connection with guests

I loved my stay here. It’s a quiet place close to busy, fun bars and restaurants. An easy walk to the beach, too. Would stay here again!

Excellent location and excellent communication. Close to downtown Tamarindo, within walking distance of everything. Next time I come back to Tamarindo I'll come back here

Excelente ubicación y excelente comunicación. Cerca del centro de tamarindo a distancia caminable de todo. La próxima vez que vuelva a Tamarindo volveré aquí

I had a wonderful two-night stay in Tamarindo! I ran into an issue with a previous booking, and I was so lucky that Patrick was so responsive and able to accommodate me on short notice. The space was very clean and beautiful, with an outstanding pool. The staff were friendly, and the location is perfect—walking distance to everything, which made it so convenient. Patrick is truly an incredible host. Highly recommend!

Sandra was great host, she recommended great food options, was super helpful, nice and even got me some brownies and a candle to celebrate my birthday!

Another successful stay at In The Shade Hotel! Always a good time!

Great work escape! Central location in the heart!

Highly recommend this place. They were incredibly hospitable, helping me with my airport transfer and setting up a good cart rental. The food at the restaurant is good and the location is perfect, a short walk to everything in town. Will stay here again.

Hello Tom  thank you for your message and see you next time you are coming in town

Very nice place, very clean, beach amenities available, very well located in town, 5 minute walk to beach. Hosts speak multiple languages, making it easy to communicate.

Très beau logement, très propre, commodités pour la plage disponible, très bien situé dans la ville, à 5 minutes à pied de la plage. Les hôtes parlent plusieurs langues ce qui facilitent la communication.

Superbly located, you can walk everywhere and many bars in the immediate vicinity. The hotel is still quiet and the pool is very practical and clean. Overall a great stay!

Super gelegen, man kommt überall zu Fuss hin und viele Bars in unmittelbarer Umgebung. Das Hotel ist dennoch ruhig gelegen und der Pool ist sehr praktisch und sauber. Insgesamt ein toller Aufenthalt!

Patrick and his team were very helpful, responsive and friendly. Always offering food recommendations, free activities as well as great excursions and local events. Their knowledge and  information on the local environment and animals were also very interesting and helpful. My wife and I I had a great time and shared some great memories mostly due to Patrick, Maggie, and Sandra. Great co working area as well for people who need to stay connected to work while having some personal time.

As always the stay was phenomenal, the place super clean and cozy. I want to come back more times.

Como siempre la estadía estuvo fenomenal, el lugar súper limpio y acogedor. Quiero regresar más veces.

The place is very comfortable, quiet and beautiful. Perfect combination to have a relax time with some of the Tamarindo’s vibes! Loved it!

Awesome location, can walk everyone in town and the beach but still very private and quiet. Everyone I dealt with at check in and check out was sweet and helpful. Would 100% be excited to stay here again.

Thank you Patrick for letting us in on time. The place is nice, clean, good lighting, and great location. We'll be back

Gracias Patrick por dejarnos ingresar a tiempo. El lugar es lindo, limpio buena iluminación y excelente ubicación. Volveremos

We have never been to Costa Rica before. We found this place on air B + B with great ratings and decided to try it. 5 star review all around. Clean , convenient 3 minute walk to the beach. Centrally located in the city centre but just off the heavy traffic road in a quiet area. Patrick and his staff helped us book a local tour with ease. We can’t wait to go back next year .

The location is good and the space is nice. However, the room is very small and relatively noisy (fan, fridge next to the pillow, etc.). It's nice but clearly not worth the price.

Die Lage ist gut und die Räumlichkeiten sind nett. Das Zimmer ist aber sehr klein und relativ laut (Ventilator, Kühlschrank neben dem Kopfkissen etc). Es ist nett aber den Preis ganz klar nicht wert.

Great team, Awesome Cafe for breakfast and Lunch, Great location in Tamarindo. Did i say Great team

AMAZING EXPERIENCE!!! First of all, this place looks EVEN BETTER in real life than the pictures. Check in was smooth with the clear instructions I received, and my room was super spacious and clean. One thing you should know is that this is not just an airbnb, it’s a boutique hotel! So you can buy a really lovely breakfast and our amazing hostess also gave me complementary breakfast and smoothie shot which I enjoyed by the pool. The location is PERFECT, walkable to the main road in Tamarindo. Don’t hesitate to book this gem!!

Looks and feels just like the photos! Comfy room, great pool, solid internet, nice workspace, tasty food at the restaurant, helpful hosts, towel service, all good stuff!

Oasis of peace, yet a few steps from the lively heart of Tamarindo and its beach. The place is clean and bright. We enjoyed being able to have a delicious coffee and breakfast on our balcony. Special mention for the attentive service. Impeccable!

Oasis de paix, pourtant à quelques pas du cœur animé de Tamarindo et de sa plage. Les lieux sont propres et lumineux. Nous avons bien apprécié pouvoir prendre un délicieux café et petit déjeuner sur notre balcon. Mention spéciale pour le service attentionné. Impeccable!

Safe, clean and cozy space.  The pool is amazing. Sandra was a great host. Greeted us at the gate and showed us to our room.  It’s basically a small bedroom and a bathroom.  Smaller than expected.  Great location, steps from downtown.

this place is exactly what we needed after a horrible stay at the RIU Guanacaste. Quiet, no kids and beautiful surroundings. Everything was exactly as described and the receptionist was super helpful. Allowed us to store some stuff in their fridge and hold our bags until checked in. The Pool was fantastic and clean and felt perfect on the hot days we were there. One thing I would beware about is that it is located between 2 restaurants that are fairly lively at night. But are also quiet by about 10pm, so if you want to go to bed early just have some ear plugs with you. The little Cafe they have is also great! Had a wonderful and filling breakfast that hit the spot. I recommend the Mango smoothie it was delicious.

Thanks Stephanie. It was a pleasure to welcome you. Looking forward to welcoem you again... Best . Maggie

Loved my stay here. If you're on the fence about it, don't be. Everything in the description is accurate.

Place was amazing ! Would definitely recommend to come back close location to everything you need.

Felt like a boutique hotel that catered toward folks that work remotely. Staff was friendly, had onsite food and resources, gave great recommendations, A/C was great, etc. Location was stellar, just a few minutes from the beach and super close to Oveja which was a vibe and had live music multiple days a week. Hosted a guest happy hour so we could all get out of our comfort zone and mingle. Met some really cool folks from England, California, and Switzerland.

Excellent place to stay in Tamarindo. Patrick was a great host and the pool was well-kept and beautiful. Try to stay on a Thursday if you can, because the Thursday social was a great way to meet other guests with complementary sangria and local foods. Everything looked like the pictures—highly recommend!

I can’t say enough about how happy I was at Patrick’s Airbnb. Looked 100% like the pictures…impeccable. Fantastic co-working space. The staff was extremely helpful in setting up activities, giving directions and any other requests I had. I will be coming back. Highly recommended.

Thank you for your comments... See you soon...

Great space . Walkable  to everything . Amazing pool and great staff

Thank you Jonathan.. Looking forward to welcome you again when you come back in Town.

Exactly as described and perfect location. Easy walk to the beach, local tours and nightlife. Highly recommend.

Amazing place in tamarindo, awesome spot to escape the hustle n’ bustle  and sit by the pool. The in house restaurant was super handy too. All around great place.

The room was clean, comfortable, and quiet. Staff was friendly & super helpful when it came to questions regarding the area. Looked exactly like the pictures, and the food was amazing! I would definitely stay here again!

We enjoyed our stay in the shade! Couldn’t have been a better spot. Everything was exactly how described. Patrick and his staff were amazing. They helped us book our excursion and gave us really good recommendations. Would definitely stay again.

This place was amazing! Food was delicious, staff friendly and accommodating, walkable to everything, clean and comfortable.

Was an easy walk to downtown! Clean and cute pool.

Great stay! Perfect location and great pool.

We had a lovely stay at Shade’s hotel, Patrick and the team were extremely welcoming and helpful with any questions we had. The location was ideal and good value for money. Highly recommend if you’re staying in Tamarindo

Awesome stay! Great location and amenities for the price. Would stay here again.

In the Shade Hotel and Coworking delivered on everything they promised. The staff was extremely helpful and always very responsive to any questions I had. It was a wonderful stay!

This Airbnb was such a gem! Super walkable to everything, great remote working areas with hi speed wifi and the staff was extremely hospitable. Would highly recommend!

Nice and clean bed and bathroom. Convenient location with the beach and many restaurants near by. Nice pool and community area. Rooms are rather small but has a large TV. mini fridge but no microwave.

Enjoyed the stay and great location walking distance to beach, food, and other stuff to do.

Patrick and Maggie were extremely helpful and friendly from the very beginning. They and their staff helped us book excursions and find the best places to eat and visit. They even booked us the perfect space to watch the sunset. It was our 10 year anniversary and they also upgraded our room for free. I cannot say enough wonderful things about our stay here. Plus, the Thursday night social was a hit and the location is very easy to reach the rest of Tamarindo. You will not regret staying here!!

I absolutely loved this place and the location. Pool right outside of the rooms, delicious breakfast available to purchase. Staff were extremely helpful, showed all the local spots on the map, got me scheduled in for my first ever surf experience. Restaurants are super close, downtown is a few minutes walk. A great spot named Wild Panda.. aka suck my cocktails. Great folks and the quesadilla is what you want to get plus their hot sauce.  Coming back here for sure.

Our stay at In the Shade was amazing. The pool was relaxing and the staff were very accommodating and helpful. Would return to Tamarindo, and when we do, we will stay at in the Shade again!

Nice place, there is no kitchen, staff is helpful but the room is a bit small. There is music during the night because it’s next to the restaurant

Patrick and staff made us feel right at home. I sadly had a lot of work to do but honestly this was the perfect place to do that with the 24/7 coworking space. The food and bev located on premises and coffee hot and available by 7am. Couldn’t have asked for a better situation. Everyone was super friendly and helpful but also gave us our privacy. Will def come back ❤️ also Patrick reached out prior to arrival to ensure we had all the help we needed.

Excellent option to arrive, if I recommend and if I will go back there 😊

Excelente opción para llegar, si recomiendo y si volveré ahí 😊

We loved our stay in Tamarindo! It was perfectly tucked away in a quieter street so you didn't hear any road traffic. As you walk out, there are lots of restaurants, cafes, bars, and supermarkets and it was a very close walk to the beach. The hotel was clean and extremely well maintained. The pool was beautiful and the perfect place to relax at anytime of the day! The wifi speed and co-work space was great for remote work our entire stay. The owners were lovely and gave lots of good recommendations, including walking us to the night market on Thursdays. All the hotel employees were welcoming, professional, and kind. They helped us with recommendations, booking tours, transportation, and restaurant reservations. Highly recommend this place for your stay in Tamarindo. 😊

Great location, nice pool, convenient in-house cafe.  The room is essentially just a room big enough for the bed, but it was fine for the 1 night we stayed.

Nice co-working space with fast wifi and a good cafe. The rooms have everything you need, but only have a refrigerator which was fine because we did not plan on cooking or warming things up during our stay. Close to all of the restaurants and beach but far enough away that it seems more quite. They provide you with pool towels and beach towels so you don’t need to travels with those. The staff was friendly and very accommodating.

We had a fantastic stay!!! private, clean, and the staff was magnificent. A special thank you to Luca for making our stay great.

We were unable to complete our stay due to a broken mattress and holes in sheets. Patrick did provide a full refund.

Great place in a great location. Super close to the beach (walking distance) and restaurants. Also has free parking if you want to drive to other nearby beaches.

We had a great stay at Patricks location. Wifi was quick, close waking distance to many shops, resturaunts and the beach. Definitely worth the stay!

Beautiful room and great service! Perfect, quiet location for Tamarindo but still close to the beach and town

Very nice accommodation with superb service. Directly located within the city center.

The hotel far exceeded my expectations. The convenience to the town center, beach, and restaurants cannot be overstated. The breakfast and lunch at the hotel are outstanding. The Garden Cafe should be on your list. I would highly recommend this location as it is located on a peaceful, quiet street free of city noise and loud music after hours. The location hit all my requirements for this trip: friendly staff, clean, walk ability, and great food.

We had a wonderful week at "In the Shade Hotel". Owner Patrick and Michele were fantastic hosts as the entire staff made us feel right at home during our stay.  The location is perfect, walking distance to all that Tamarindo has to offer.  During a week when the winds made the beach time a bit challenging, the pool at the hotel was a welcome alternative.  We highly recommend the property and will look forward to a returning soon.

I can’t say enough great things not only about this rental but also about Patrick, his wife and the staff. The location was perfect walking distance from the beach and all restaurants. The place was exactly what you needed and the pool area and amenities were perfect. Coffee and breakfast in the morning beside the pool was a dream. Couldn’t recommend this place enough - will rent again and would recommend to any friends heading to Tamarindo.

We had a wonderful stay and Patrick was extremely helpful and friendly.

Great stay at this peaceful oasis that was still right in the middle of the action in Tamarindo! Super clean and great pool. We would recommend it to others and absolutely stay there again in the future!

This place was in a great location and within walking distance to restaurants and shops and the beach. The room was comfortable and clean. The staff were friendly, responsive and helpful. The food was surprisingly delicious cooked by an onsite chef. I didn't use the pool. Overall, the place was quiet and chill.  I would come back.

Really cute spot. We enjoyed hanging by the pool and the food at the hotel was really tasty and always fresh. The staff were super friendly and helpful and the internet speed was ideal for remote work. Definitely would come back to stay here!

Great place to stay and great environment. Everyone is super friendly and located in a great spot. Sandra was super helpful and made me enjoy my stay even more!

Staff was extremely helpful, everything was very clean and the food was amazing! Highly recommend this place to others. Easy walking distance to beach, restaurants and grocery store.

We had a great time in Tamarindo. Patrick’s hotel was all we needed - a clean room, outdoor pool, coworking space & cafe serving breakfast/lunch, coffee & smoothies. Maggie and Mazik were super helpful and attentive - arranged our shuttle from/to the airport & helped with dinner reservations. The place is a few minutes away from the beach and all the shops & restaurants. Right next to the farmer’s market (happens on Saturdays) and Dragonfy Bar & Grill (really tasty food!). Couldn’t ask for a better location.

It was in walking distance of everything in Tamarindo, I loved it. Very peaceful and friendly staff.

Great facility and great location in the heart of Tamarindo. The hosts were very attentive and communicated throughout the whole process. They offered many additional services and included free meals. However, definitely overpriced during high season. The bed was a spring mattress and not very comfortable. The room was very small.

Amazing place. Super close to everything with great amenities. Loved the pool. I didn’t need to work much but the high speed internet was very convenient. The whole staff, especially Sandra, was very helpful. I would love to come back for a longer stay.

Great location! Right by everything you need and 5min walk to Playa Tamarindo. Excellent restaurants near by. Great host with wonderful staff.
