Very nice and clean appartment. We stayed here for 2 nights to take some relaxing time during our roundtrip in Costa Rica. We enjoyed the pool at the end of the day after coming back from the beach.

This was one of our multiple stays in Costa Rica, and we were truly impressed. The rooms were clean, spacious, and well-equipped. Above all, the Refugio concept — which includes a beautiful café and a cozy bar offering excellent food and drinks — truly exceeded our expectations. Unlike at other accommodations, we didn't have to eat Gallo Pinto for breakfast every day, but could instead choose from a wide variety of delicious brunch options directly from the restaurant/bar. The staff were friendly and always ready to help with anything we needed — from arranging surf lessons to recommending great local restaurants. We were mainly in touch with Augustin, who took excellent care of us. Overall, we were delighted with our stay and can highly recommend this place.

Beautifully appointed and clean room with comfortable sheets and bed, and lovely fluffy towels (bath and pool/beach). Incredible French style breakfast - an absolute highlight of the day! Lovely pool and garden area, and location is just ten minutes outside of Tamarindo, so perfectly away from the hustle and bustle. Very helpful and friendly staff

This is the best hostel I went to during my 5 weeks in Costa Rica. Beds are comfortable, there is a huge bathroom where there is shower and toilet in each unit, great kitchen with lots of kitchenware and two electric stoves. In the dormitories there are enough space for all the backpacks and stuff. They have small lockers for valuables. Nice pool with sunbeds and hammocks. And beautiful plants in the garden. Staff and volunteers and super nice and helpful, they really care about the wellbeing of their guests. And also the hostel is very clean. Close to center and supermarket. I am more than happy I chose this one in Tamarindo.

Our stay at Hotel Elixir was great. The location is perfect, really central but also tucked away from too much noise. The breakfast was excellent and the staff really helpful. Our room was very comfortable and spotlessly clean.

My best decision was to stay at Hotel Boruca, the staff was always friendly and they welcomed us and helped us with a smile. The room was very clean and carefully decorated. The price is very good for the Tamarindo area and it's location worked very well for us, we gone to the beach, visit restaurants, we was only have to walk 200 meters. Definitely if I return to Tamarindo, I will return to this hotel.
