Once a quiet fishing village, Tamarindo has seen spectacular growth in recent decades owing to its long and white beaches, enchanting wildlife and buzzing nightlife. Though increasingly Americanised, there is still an authentic Costa Rican shimmer to the village, with several open-air markets abundant with fresh fish and fruit & veg, not to mention the famous hospitality of Costa Rica. The waters teem with mahi-mahi, great tuna and billfish, making it ideal for a fishing expedition, while the waves are ideal for surfing enthusiasts. The scintillating white-sand palm-fringed beaches - some brimming with people, others more secluded - are where Leatherback sea turtles lay their eggs between November and April, and on the estuary, monkeys can be seen scuttling to and fro, while sloths lounge about in the sunshine like the tourists on the beach. A quirky, fun, vibrant and colourful seaside idyll, our collection of the best places to stay in Tamarindo include a chic boutique hotel that offers seclusion and intimacy within walking distance of the beach.
A great place for backpackers, surfers and sunbathers alike, Tamarindo is perfect for sunshine, good food and good times. Browse through our list of the best places to stay in Tamarindo to start planning your trip.
