Hotel Tamarindo Village

Very cute property. The three of us liked our two bedrooms (queen, king, and bunk beds) with small kitchenette. The property has a security gate so we felt quite secure (most all the properties seem to have this - it seems to be a Costa Rica thing). The units are spread among several small buildings that ascend a hillside so there is an inclined path (and a few stairs) leading to most of them. Its very beautiful with much shade due to the many mature trees and bushes. Lots of flowers. The pool is small but refreshing. Breakfast was in the covered area next to the pool. There were a selection of 3 made to order options each morning plus juice, coffee, fruit, toast, etc. The area is quiet and the wall unit ac's with remotes worked great - though the bathroom is not included in the a/c area and has screen only windows to let out the humidity (or let it in!). We left the doors to the bathroom closed. The roads up the to property (along with the others nearby) are mostly dirt with a little gravel, somewhat steep, and last bit is bumpy. It was fine for our AWD vehicle and probably would be fine for a 2 WD vehicle. The walk to the beach took about ten minutes. Hotel is in a quiet area away from all the congestion and shopping but easy to walk if you don't mind a little dust and inclines (on the return from the beach/shopping area). Owners are very nice. We enjoyed our stay. Oh! And the wifi was excellent! Best of the four hotels we stayed in in Costa Rica.
