Very clean and felt safe. The separate living space was perfect for our large multi family group with 12 kids to have their own space yet still be all together.

Absolutely Perfect Stay at House of Nomad Tamarindo! I recently had the pleasure of staying at House of Nomad Tamarindo and it was truly perfect.

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!

I was very pleased with my stay at Casa Leona. I was there from November 9-14th 2024. It is about a 15 minute walk or so from the centre of Tamarindo up off the busy main road on a quiet neighbourhood side street the allows you to be in a beautiful green oasis! There were even some Howler Monkeys way up in trees while I was there. The main road to town has no sidewalk and you’ll be walking on the edge of the asphalt as vehicles go around you and your fellow visitors. The room amenities allow you to have meals in to save some money, the rooms are cozy with good AC, I was in a top floor deluxe unit which has a peaked roof the gives a more spacious feel, a large shared covered balcony to hang out on between activities or rain. There is a gazebo with couches to lounge in and a pool as well. Breakfast was excellent with a few choices from a set menu, from a hearty La Tica which is a local breakfast with fruit to lighter fair such as croissants. Most properties here have fences and locked gates and it’s the same at Casa Leona, plus there is a friendly night guard who watches the parking area. The friendly staff work diligently to keep the property clean and tidy. Just a reminder, some rooms have hot water and others do not so make sure to read the room descriptions carefully. I highly recommend Casa Leona for its location, peace and quiet, all the lush greenery that screens you from neighbouring properties, a good breakfast and overall ambiance!

Fantastic stay of 3 weeks at this wonderful luxury lodge boutique hotel. The owners who run the place are extremely friendly, helpful and provide really great service, making you feel at home. You can tell they love what they do. Breakfasts were fabulous, rooms were tidy and clean, comfy beds, outdoor shower is a great touch. The location is perfect, easy drive to tamarindo and nestled in a quite relaxing environment out of crowded areas. Close to various other beaches and easy to get to main roads for sightseeing. Overall a great experience to repeat.

    My best decision was to stay at Hotel Boruca, the staff was always friendly and they welcomed us and helped us with a smile. The room was very clean and carefully decorated. The price is very good for the Tamarindo area and it's location worked very well for us, we gone to the beach, visit restaurants, we was only have to walk 200 meters. Definitely if I return to Tamarindo, I will return to this hotel.
