Located in Tamarindo, Hotel Casa Carlota Tamarindo features a garden. There is a year-round outdoor pool and guests can make use of free WiFi and free private parking.

At the hotel every room comes with air conditioning, a wardrobe, a flat-screen TV, a private bathroom, bed linen, towels and a terrace with pool view. All units will provide guests with a fridge.

I travel a lot and I don't think I've met friendlier or more helpful hosts at this hotel. Due to a shortage of rental cars throughout Costa Rica, I was without transportation when I arrived at the hotel. Jeffrey and Shirley gave me a ride to downtown Tamarindo and even took time from their busy schedule to provide a personal tour of the town. Shirley even arranged an Uber taxi for me to travel to my next stop at Coco Beach. They are renovating the hotel and it is now modern, clean and reasonably priced.

Tee-K Lodge Tamarindo is 7 km from Tamarindo and offers accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool and a garden. The bed and breakfast has air-conditioned rooms with a private bathroom and free WiFi. Guests can enjoy garden views.

Arthur and Claire were the most amazing hosts! So attentive, kind and hospitable! They spoiled us rotten with new baked goods and treats every day. We will never stay anywhere else next time we come to Costa Rica. Can’t recommend enough! You will love it. They really felt like family after 9 days. Also their home cooked breakfast and espresso are very good. The pool is beautiful. We enjoyed sitting under the stars after getting home each evening and looking at the moon. The pool, property and rooms are all very clean. Arthur and Claire came every day to tidy up our room and give us fresh towels. They even came when we left later in the afternoon. We never expected that and even felt bad, but that’s how personal and attentive they are. They truly made our stay in Costa Rica special. Thank you Arthur and Claire! :)

    Excellent location on the beach and close to bars, restaurants and shops. My room had a view directly out to the beach and I enjoyed having the bedroom upstairs and a living area downstairs.

    The location was right on the beach amongst the trees with plenty of sun loungers available for guests. Sea water was incredibly warm, we could have stayed in all day! Relatively quiet considering the central location. Friendly personnel. Howler monkeys occasionally come through.

    Fabulous hotel, a hidden oasis within a charming but lively beach resort. Everything about this hotel impressed us, the room was perfect with a fabulous view of the Ocean, terrific food and wonderful service. One of the best beach hotels we have ever stayed at.

    We travelled to Tamarindo for our honeymoon and stayed at Sueno del Mar. The location was great- you can walk along the beach into Tamarindo at low tide, or easily get an uber into the town at high tide. The room was spacious and had an outside area and an outdoor shower. The breakfasts in the morning were amazing, served in view of the roaring pacific. It was also an amazing place to sit down and watch the sunset, or to walk straight out and be on the beach.

    Great location, right on the beach as advertised. It was so easy to go for walks on the beach and to head down the beach to grab food at the many beachfront restaurants. We had one of the beach bungalows and we woke up to amazing views everyday.
