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. The location couldn’t be more convenient, situated in the heart of Tamarindo with easy access to everything. The staff was exceptional, always going above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. The property was impeccably clean and well-maintained, with a beautiful pool that was perfect for relaxing. I highly recommend House of Nomad Tamarindo for anyone looking for a top-notch experience in this beautiful area.

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.

Beautiful grounds and swimming pool, amazingly clean and welcoming. Several nice beaches nearby. All guests were quiet and considerate, within their accommodations and in public spaces, allowing everyone to enjoy the serenity of the lodge and natural sounds of birds, geckos, howler monkeys, cows, and waves crashing nearby. This said, if you don't care for "the all of nature" including an occasional gecko, lizard, or small insect in/around your accommodations, this may not be the place for you. :) The managers are wonderful to speak with and provided excellent recommendations - understandably proud of this beautiful eco lodge.

SoulShine is among the top boutique hotels in Guanacaste, Costa Rica, that we have ever visited, and we have a lot of experience (I've lived in the region since 2008). Our family loves going on vacations to unique BNBs - this weekend my boys and I were lucky enough to try out SoulShine and we will be back as soon as we can go. Here are some of the top reasons we will be back to SoulShine. For the quality of stay and overall energy we felt, the price is spectacular. Based on my experience staying in all kinds of family-run hotels in Guanacaste, I could not have been happier with what we received for an extremely reasonable rate. Even though the hotel is located close to the beach in Playa Avellanas, and you have easy access to most of the best surf breaks in Guanacaste, the layout of the hotel provides 100% privacy, peace and tranquility. We stayed in a bungalow with a big bed that the boys shared and a smaller one for me. We were comfortable, relaxed, happy and felt we completely enjoy ourselves as a family. I cannot stand any noise at night and I slept extremely well because of the layout. I also love hotels that make you feel comfortable to lounge both at your bungalow and at a common area. Each of the rooms at SoulShine has a cute little patio with comfortable chairs; the gardens surrounding you make you feel at home and it's easy to drink coffee or send a few emails while sitting on the porch. The pool itself is an awesome oasis - tons of room to lounge; it's a safe and friendly place for kids to play, and they keep it in spectacular condition. You feel very happy to be there, with the palm trees swaying in the breeze. And finally - the SoulShine restaurant is an utterly spectacular addition to the experience. Their food is indescribably good in a region where we have few options for places that put true love into a menu. Their shakshooka is my absolute favorite breakfast or brunch; everything there has an extremely diverse flavor profile.

Generally quiet, even next to the highway. We were greeted by the owner's two teenage sons. Clearly managers in training. The kitchen beside the pool was well equipped for our breakfast of cold cereal. There is a hot plate and BBQ which we did not try out. Both beds were pushed against the walls. We were able to move the double bed away from the wall and use the side chair so both sides of the bed could have a bedside table of sorts. Towels are thick, soft.and absorbant. Shower is slow to heat but then warm.

    Beautiful spot right on the beach with an open air restaurant and bar. Grounds were lush. Beach had very few people each day. The staff were incredibly friendly. Johnathan was so kind to our children at dinner and encouraged them to speak Spanish. Alexis greeted us every morning at breakfast and shared about their culture. Roy arranged some great tours for us. Jairo was the most kind and attentive person.

We enjoyed the live entertainment (couple from Brazil) one night. Our room was well done and the bed was very comfortable. The staff were exceptional. The sunset one night was amazing, I think the best I’ve ever witnessed. We had a wonderful stay.

    Town is just big enough that there are lots of shops, restaurants, and things to do. Gorgeous beach also. But small enough that you can walk everywhere. It's a good base for the northwest area but doing a day trip to a volcano or other sights is hours each way.

    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.

    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

    Nosara is apparently one of the most expensive places in Central America, more expensive than the rest of Costa Rica, and the vibe is a bit weird - lots of wealthy travelers, $9 drip coffee, middle-aged white people mostly and lots of second-home mansions. We went to yoga at a resort that was $600/night and that seemed like no big deal for most of the American clients. However once we got to know the locals, learned to eat at local "sodas" instead, and realized the beach break is fantastic for surfing and protected so there's no beach vendors or beach bars, we had a great time. It's not a backpackers town, but it is very safe.

    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.

    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!

    Playa Flamingo is an awesome destination, with a Marina, convenient nearby restaurants, grocery stores, beaches that will blow your mind. The people are friendly and love their country and culture. They are very proud of who they are and their culture which is family oriented. The food is the best and you have a varied selection of restaurants from beach side to the top of the mountain with scenic view you will never forget. What a wonderful county I would live there. We visited in May the beginning of the rainy season, however I believe it was the best time. The country comes alive, green and lush. The beached, restaurants are not overcrowded, if you have a rain shower it's gentle and mostly in the evening. My wife & I will definitely return. We met several Americans that have visited Playa Flamingo several times, then decided to live there. I'm telling you, go there, you will not regret a moment. We stayed at Splendor 360, which is I believe the highest accommodations in the area. Splendor 360's condos are amazing with views as they say, 360 degrees from the marina to the beaches. Thank you, Costa Rica, for one of the vacations we have experienced. Les & Linda Harris

    I was in Potrero for 3 nights alone on business.

    I was in Potrero for 3 nights alone on business. The location is quite and off the tourist map. There are a few local restaurants and bars, but not a lot going on. Its a great place to get away and relax, but pretty remote from all of the major destinations. There are other even more remote beaches just north of here that are worth visiting, so a few days here can be worth it.

    I stayed in the area only a part of my stay and moved on.

    I stayed in the area only a part of my stay and moved on. The beach here is superior to other areas for sure. And this is defiantly a stay in your resort opportunity. near by resultants are best for dining options don't eat on property.
