Its a hostel so, its busy and loud. the rooms in front of the pool were large and had firm but very comfortable beds, everything was clean and simple, bathroom was ok. Air conditioning was not very strong but worked . the pool was small but not very busy , even thou the hostel was packed. the bar was great, super lively , live music , pool table and a lot of drunk people ( saint patricks day ) but very fun.

Great location right in he heart of Tamarindo. 5min walk to the beach. And the bar there is my favorite in tamarindo.

Alex, United States of America

Location, breakfast, service. They were all very kind, smiling, and helpful.

Rose, United States of America

The location is amazing! Just one block from the beach, in front of a supermarket and surrounded by shops. At night there’s always live music and a great atmosphere, great for solo travelers. The staff does a great job at cleaning the bathrooms clean. I

Tamara, United States of America

My family and I really enjoyed our stay at the Oveja Negra. The Location was awesome! Walking distance to all bars, restaurants in Tamarindo. The restaurant was also great; very tasty food. But the best thing is the breakfast! The reservation we had included breakfast so every morning we enjoyed a wonderfully delicious breakfast. Large portions, meaning full breakfast, fresh and tasty. The coffee was amazing! The staff was wonderful, Antonella rocked! She was our waitress two days in a row and she was great. The staff was all very attentive and nice. Nice grounds, they had a cool social area with ping pong, and pool tables, an area to play, read or just chill. There's a new small shopping center in front of the hotel which has a supermarket, a pharmacy and some other shop. This is awesome since you can just cross the street to get all the stuff you need. Big plus!

The staff was amazing! They went above and beyond all the time. I tore a ligament in my knee while in Costa Rica and they were so accommodating. We will definitely be coming back after my surgery and I can enjoy everything. The room was big and it was right by the pool.

Trevor, United States of America

Great on-site restaurant and bar. Great location and wonderful staff.

Barbara, United States of America

Amazing athmosphere, live music every night! But this also meant that there was no quiet time until 2. Good restaurant and big sofa.
