    The perfect stay for Tamarindo that highlighted everything and more that we were looking for!

    How cute their bathroom was made our bathroom back home look like a mess! Truly, Tamarindo Sunshine was perfect.

    This hidden gem just a block from the edge of the busier Tamarindo was everything we were looking for and more. Close to the beach, close to the town, quiet, AC was amazing, staff was phenomenal!

    Only negative is the excessive need to point rules, it takes away the peace of mind, you are more concerned about not breaking a rule than enjoying the staying.

    Great location , modern , clean, friendly stuff

    Not particularly sound proof units. You will be able to hear your neighbors, and they you, during your stay. As long as you are respectful of that you will have no issues.

    This is a perfect and peaceful oasis in Tamarindo. Close to everything but perfectly situated, just short walk either way, between Tamarindo city center and Playa Langosta. The best aspect of Tamarindo Sunshine are the wonderful owners and staff. Your room will be clean and kept clean during your visit. Expect the typical Tamarindo issues due to the areas growth, like periodic water and electricity failure, but nothing that ever rises to the level of being a real nuisance. You will feel safe and at home here during your stay.

    The coffee maker leaked all over the floor and the staff immediately solved and helped us out.

    Great location, close to the Bach and easy walk to restaurants. We appreciated having a patio and access to the gardens and outdoor kitchen. I spent the early morning enjoying a coffee in the hammock.

    This place is amazing!! Like a little hidden paradise and literally only 3 mins from the beach. The host Emanuel was super friendly and helpful. The place is taken care of so well, the garden and especially all the little decoration details outside and in the room. The bed was very comfortable and the room was spacious as well as the bathroom. Only for this place I would go back to Tamarindo :)!!

    Beautiful apartments located within a small garden, outside of the busy area, but within 10min of waking distance. Easily the most comfortable apartment we've had in Costa Rica. Excellent communication with our hosts, we received a detailed document with recommendations and instructions upfront and someone was always available at the office for questions or just a friendly chat. Beach equipment was available free of charge. Amazing, highly recommend staying here. PS: to escape the crowds, check out Playa Langosta!

    There was nothing I did not like. Everything was amazing.

    The facility has many gardens making the atmosphere feel very natural. The outdoor kitchen was kept very clean. The place was designed very charming with lots of personality. I felt safe and comfortable with Tamarindo Sunshine. The staff was very attentive. I would stay here again. The bathroom was very spacious, with room for plants in the shower. The room was big with lots of natural light. I loved everything about this place.

    Nothing, loved the place

    The photos don’t do justice to the place, room was bigger than we thought, there is a very cute garden, a shared kitchen super useful if you want to make snacks, coffee machine and coffee in the room, outdoor shower, beach towels.. honestly everything was perfect and well thought. Emmanuel at reception was great and gave us lots of valuable info at checkin. Would definitely come back.
