What a delightful stay we had here in this brand new hotel. The design of the hotel is well planned with 8 rooms surrounding the pool and garden, with delightful sitting area in the courtyard right outside of the rooms, as well as lounge chairs around the pool in the garden. There is excellent sound proof walls, so we did not hear the neighbours, but design is great so that guests could enjoy the company of others if they chose to. The rooms were beautifully simple, comfortable beds with the best linens we have ever had at a hotel, and very spacious so that we could easily do yoga inside or outside whichever we decided to. It is a family run business, and the owners are very organized and cleanliness is a 10+, and moreover they are so friendly and helpful in every way. If we could we would stay there much longer as we liked the setting, the rooms were so comfortable, we enjoyed the pool in the evenings and the owners were so helpful and kind.

Pablo and Brandon welcomed us to a gorgeous, dreamy place surrounded by greenery and tranquility—an excellent "Suitree" in Guanacaste, in the middle of the forest. Our room was spacious, spotless, and well-appointed. It is a fascinating place... very well maintained and with unique details. There is an excellent view of the entire hill complex. When we have the chance, we will stop again at this oasis of tranquility. It is a beautiful experience that I wholeheartedly recommend.

We loved our stay at Tuki Tuki. It’s a small resort located walkable to the beach. The staff is sooo friendly and really treat you like family. We LOVED our stay at Tuki Tuki and wish we could have stayed longer. Rooms were super clean and spacious! JP the owner/host goes above and beyond to make your stay incredible. Hazel the cook/ cleaning lady makes delicious breakfasts and does an amazing job keeping the place clean. We loved the small resort atmosphere and meeting the other guests. It truly felt like coming home to friends at the end of each day.

Good location if you have a car, with excellent restaurants within 5-15mins driving. Walk to beach pleasant across mangrove swamp on raised walkway. Owner and staff very pleasant, knowledgeable of area, and helpful. Restaurant area good place to relax during day with a beer or coffee. Not open for dinner although this may be changing. Accommodations very attractive, clean and well maintained although bathroom lighting in our unit at least was inadequate. Good size bathroom with lots of hot water for shower.

Everything was great, we loved how fresh the hotel is, from the combination of trees throughout the property, the pool in the middle of the courtyard and the layout of the hotel creating a noticeable drop in temperature from the heat in Liberia in this time of the year. It was a great place to get away for the week, and there are great restaurants around, we highly recommend eating at Sabor Porteño for dinner, the food was amazing and fairly priced for the quality of food you receive. The following morning we had the included breakfast which was great as well. For lunch we ate at Foodnication, another great find. The value of this hotel is amazing, a great place to stop at if you're in Costa Rica, or if you're just looking to get away for a weekend and you're already down here. Looking forward to coming back.

Tamarindo is a nice place to visit if you want to relax on the beach for a few days. The beach is clean and there are a variety of other activities available in the area as well as respectably priced accommodation. You can make a visit as busy or as quiet as you like. Plenty of places to eat and drink.

Great town great beach.

Great town great beach. Good supermarkets and friendly people in general. We met some locals through some friends and we were made to feel at home quite quickly. Nice place. Go to the Burger Window, (Google it) its in an open bar which has a few other eating stalls as well. A great curry shack too. But the burgers at Burger Window really are SUPERB. The service is quite non committal. There are few smiles and you can get put off by that. But listen, the burgers are worth the grief. Also try the crepes both savory and sweet at the little Ahora Si shop and then try the big Ahora Si restaurant further up the street. Both owned by the same family. Both very good choices. Ask for Antonio at the little Ahora Si crepe place

It is a good place to find a restaurant and nightlife.

It is a good place to find a restaurant and nightlife. There are much nicer beaches close by if you are looking to enjoy the water and a nice sunset. Unfortunately the rising costs in Costa Rica are making it less desirable to visit. It is getting run down in many areas and the costs are climbing dramatically.

A nice beach town which has most conveniences but is not too big. We had visited in 1988 so the development since then was breathtaking. We visited during the off-season (October) so it was very rainy but had clear periods each day. The advantage to visiting this time of year is hotel prices are generally lower, but many businesses are closed so for example a restaurant you wanted to visit may not be open and I had more difficulty renting a good surfboard than I thought I would. As mentioned before, the rain can be a problem during the off-season but I understand the period from December to April is mostly rain free. I would imagine the town is much more crowded in season which could affect the experience.

We stayed at Hotel Velero right off the beach in Playa Hermosa. It was relatively quiet (in the best way!) compared to the neighboring Playa del Coco. The beach was clean, the sand was soft, and the temperature was great. We saw dolphins and great sea birds from breakfast at Hotel Velero. We also had dinner at Roberto's and La Casita del Marisco. I would highly recommend Playa Hermosa to everyone and would love to return!

The resort was nice, pool was refreshing.

The resort was nice, pool was refreshing. No premium drinks, a bottle of Crown was $90, and only 1 brand of beer. The food at the buffet wasn't the greatest. Fish was dry, salad dressings were odd or just oil and vinegar. One day I had a poached egg and the yolk was hard and the whites were runny. French toast was hard and tough on the outside and soggy on the middle. You could only eat in the specialty restaurants once for every 3 days of stay.

Playa Flamingo was one of our favorite stops on our 10-day trip. It's scenic, relaxed, and incredibly fun to explore. Driving along the coast was a highlight in itself, with beautiful ocean views and plenty of little spots to pull over and enjoy. Getting around was super easy with a car or motorcycle, though you do have to watch out for the many potholes and speed bumps. Where we ate: Coco Loco- Incredible food right on the beach, and the piña coladas were honestly some of the best we’ve ever had. Gracia La Vid- Amazing pizzas in a casual, open-air setting. Fun vibe, great for dinner after a day in the sun. Playa Flamingo is perfect for groups of friends looking for a mix of adventure and relaxation. We enjoyed a sunset catamaran tour, horseback riding, ATV tours, and jet ski rentals. All are easy to book and great ways to experience the coast. If you’re looking for beautiful beaches, great food, and plenty of activities, Playa Flamingo is definitely worth a visit.
