For a personalized unique experience at Playa Tamarindo, Costa Rica, stay at this family owned eco-friendly resort located only two blocks away from the beach and main street in Tamarindo. The bungalows are awesome, two-floor, with dual A/C, the king bed has memory-foam mattress and pillows, the best bed ever! Big bathroom, nice furnished kitchen, big fridge, microwave, gas stove,...

My husband and I chose to stay here based on the pictures. It was kind if kitschy and cute... Totally our style. We loved that it had a restaurant and a wet bar. Sold. I was also excited about the "orthopedic" bed. So the property is pretty adorable. However when we where there the evening restaurant wasn't open and neither... More

It has been a while ago since we went here, November 2007 but I wanted to include this wonderful place in my reviews as it is a place to remember. Cabannas are very practically set up, breakfast is very good - lots of nice fresh fruits in the morning. Tamarindo is amazing, with it's jungle. howling monkeys and beautiful beaches!

No love here. We stayed here for two nights as part of a week long trip through Costa Rica. Perhaps, for the price it is adequate. The room was clean but insects were a problem. The lack of privacy was annoying and the bed was uncomfortable, lacking a mattress pad. The lock on the door was not reassuring. The pool... More

When we got to the front desk there was nobody to great us. We had to wait like 15min until somebody came. The rooms are ok (cozy somehow) but the matress are really hard and the pillows really low, therefore is difficult to fall sleep. There are red ants walking in the walls, but they are not sooo many as... More

We stayed here in bungalow #2 for a week in early March 2013 and really enjoyed it. Such a friendly French? family runs the place. The owner is an activist for the monkey population and their sad interface with all the dangerous electrical line so tempting to run across. The breakfasts were tasty, in a lovely setting. Pool was very... More

We originally found this hotel on tripadvisor. Didn't know what to expect. We had a small hut - with an upstairs - it was very cozy. The beach, as advertised, was a mere five minute walk from the hotel. Toni and Angela, at the office, were very forthcoming with needed information. They helped us organize our trip back to San...

Since I have an extended big family coming to visit me in Costa Rica, we decided to book at hotel Luna LLena. We have been very impressed about this little jewel in the heart of Tamarindo. Rooms are clean and big, the boungalows are amazing, you can feel everywhere the love that the owners and staff put in their business.... More

Beware the cute exterior and nice brochures--this place is a hot mess. We stayed at Luna llena in 2010 and found it fabulous with cute bungalows that slept 3-4 people with a kitchen, good pool, sushi bar, offering excellent value with a location off the beaten path. Now "fabulous" is just a word I'd use to describe how I felt... More

This is a cute place from the outside, nice looking pool and bar area and is within walking distance to town and the beach. Nice tile shower. I didn't stay in one of the bungalows so I can only fairly review the standard room which was a small, run down room that smelled musty. I would not recommend staying in... More
