We were very happy with our stay at the Beach Bungalows in Tamarindo! First up, excellent communication from the owners, Nico and his wife. They supply you with tons of information on both the accommodations and also Tamarindo. We drove down from the Liberia area and easily located the bungalows. Easy parking in front. The property, which is less than a 10 minute walk from the beach, is on a dirt road but near lots of amenities, including a terrific super market and an ATM. That said, the property is far enough from the bars and nightclubs that it’s fairly quiet at night. This isn’t a large hotel, which is nice. It feels homey and caters mostly to singles and couples. The rooms are single occupancy bungalows that are raised off the ground. The steps are steep but this creates great air circulation. Be warned: fan only (no air con) and there is NO door to the bathroom. The toilet is out-of-view of the bed but you probably should feel comfortable with your traveling companion. 🙂 Fortunately, there is also a “public” bathroom (with a toilet and shower) near the pool that is available to all to use. My husband found the bed uncomfortable but otherwise the bungalow was incredibly charming. The pool was clean and cool and the grounds are charming and well-maintained. There are complimentary pool towels for use (and yoga mats) and also a complimentary breakfast each day. Plenty of hot coffee! Nico is very welcoming and performed card magic tricks for us. Take Nico up on his restaurant recommendations. Nico also arranged for two tours for us: a nighttime turtle sight-seeing tour and day-time “sunset” catamaran tour. The turtles were fine (long story, our driver was very late and we were rushed.) But the catamaran tour is a MUST DO. SO much fun!
