Ten North Tamarindo Beach Hotel, hotel in Tamarindo

This property is just a 3 minute walk from Tamarindo beach, and features an outdoor pool in a tropical setting. There is free WiFi throughout the property, and daily housekeeping.

We loved SO much about this property! First of all, the rooms exceeded our expectations. The room (we were in #3, ground level) was perfect for our family of 5. The sofa bed in the living room converted to a bed so that was perfect. It was so nice to have a little kitchen to be able to save some money and make a few meals at "home", too. We LOVED the daily breakfast -- definitely worth it to add the daily breakfast. Laura the chef was so sweet, and would go out of her way to make a separate dish for the kids if requested. We had chocolate chip and banana pancakes, eggs and sausages, eggs on a crispy tortilla with tomatoes and guacamole, the most AMAZING French toast....just to name a few. Plus the most delicious fruit smoothie each morning. Breakfast ran from 7-9 I believe, and was a highlight for us. The pool and little sand area was perfect. My kids almost never wanted to leave the property! We appreciated that there were so many other families around. The beach isn't far - maybe a 4 minute walk - and Ten North has beach chairs and a boogie board you can borrow. We also saw monkeys during our stay -- I forget the name of the lady at the front desk but she would go out of her way to point things out to us or let us know about things going on (like the nightly fire shows on the beach). All in all a FANTASTIC stay. It is not a fancy spot but it suited our needs 100% and was great for our family.

    Favela Chic is in a great location within walking distance ( or free bicycle ride) to Tamarindo. Close to great restaurants, the beach and shops. Very friendly people with most of them able to speak English or direct me to someone who could. Would like to return soon.

    Very nice small town feel. Really enjoyed the restaurants.

    Very nice small town feel. Really enjoyed the restaurants. It was very hot in early April when we visited. End of the dry season so but lush at all. Everything is within walking distance. Go check out the zoo there. If you can get a car go visit Lola's which is a 40 min drive away. No one there on that beach. Massages on the beach are inexpensive and worth it. Renting beach loungers are cheap with unbrella. Some restaurants on the beach have them too. Lots of restaurants along the beach.

    Great small surf town, with everything you need within short walking distance. Variety of cuisine with Happy Hour offers (take them as food is pricey here). We mostly ate at "Soda" restaurant (any spot with Soda means it's local food). Fire throwers perform nightly around center of the beach. Tip them, it is amazing what they can do. River Boat tour showed us mangrove vegetation, crocodiles and iguanas. Blue Dolphin sunset sailing was super fun, check the wind report before booking. Horseback riding available at the beach, I'd recommend morning time when tide is low. Sand is pack then and beach is wide for them to walk on. Sun is sneaky here and you can burn easily, so be careful.

    I love love love Tamarindo! I've actually been looking non-stop at properties to see if there is a place I'd like to live. It's unlikely that I will move there permanently, but I'd love to have a little place to be able to visit once in awhile!

    We were disappoined in Tamarindo ~ it felt like a tourist trap with all the sidewalk tour booths. We went snorkeling with one of the booths by the beach which was definitely NOT worth it as there was absoluately nothing to see. We discovered Native Way & booked a tour to the Estuary which was excellent compared to another guest who booked from the booths by the beaches. I also heard many of them are scams as they want a deposit which will be the last you'll hear ofthem. We would recommend Native Way if you want to book any tours. We were disappointed becaue Tarmarindo was more expensive than we expected. There were only a few "shops" that were not filled with "souvenirs" that were probably not even made there. Go to the Night Market on Thursday or Farmer's Market on Saturday for unique gifts made by local artisans. Food at Restaurants were good but not the prices. We recommend Tabu & Pico Bistro. Pangas is over rated... food was so so but atmosopshere was out of this world.

Breakfast is included and is totally delicious. The pool is lovely- we also had a massage which was great.

The location is ideal, with massages (affordable and yet still expert), an excellent restaurant on site with nightly shows from local artists, and right next door, you have everything you could want in terms of rentals and guides (also affordable and expert). I highly recommend this property!

    This is a very nice place. Rooms are nice, pool is great, staff are very nice. The only issue I had was value for money. I know my bookings were during high season, but still even for Costa Rica, the price was a bit much. We would stay here again, but would make sure the booking was made in advance or during a discounted period.
