We checked in here on the spur of the moment after a bad experience at the Beach Bungalow B&B. This place is nice, big rooms, clean, hot water with working A/C, nice staff. Not too far from the beach. I'd definitely stay here again. More

Tamarindo Yam certainly has many points to recommend it, as in previous reviews, but unfortunately we had 4 terrible nights sleep due to the poor bedding used. I don't know what their mattresses and pillows are made of, but you ended up leaving a trough like the Grand Canyon in each side of the bed, which seemed to harden into... More

We stayed 6 nights and the hotel is a very nice place. GOOD Situated a little faraway from the main street it is quite intimate and not noisy neither at day nor at night. Still the walking to the beach is really 10 min only with a small baby walking. The room we had was a large one with full... More

A small boutique hotel just few blocks from the center of the city. Safe, quiet. The kitchen was great, we made breakfast and ate each morning on our private patio area. Very clean rooms, comfortable beds, beautiful grounds with a nice little lap pool. The Yam know how to treat guests! More

Would absolutely stay here again. Felt very safe. The only improvement would be both range burners working and a full size coffee maker instead of a two cup. Nice and clean. Wonderful layout of suite More

We would definetely stay here again. The staff are great, our rooms were very clean and the small hotel was just a couple of blocks from the main strip. We liked the feeling of being in a quiet little spot but still within walking distance to everything. We also got to see the monkeys in the trees around the hotel!... More

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the Tamarindo Yam in December 2011. The staff was very friendly and helpful. In fact, my ground transportation did not know where Yam was located, and we arrived later at night, but he called the Hotel, and the manager (owner?) drove out to meet the cab and guide us there. The bungalows are clean... More

Definitely a hotel that I would recommend friends and family to stay at if they ever go to Costa Rica. Very nice rooms, pool, and friendly staff. The value is also great. The only downside is that it is a little further walk from the main street/beach in Tamarindo, but don't let it discourage you. It is worth the walk... More
