From
GermanyThe place had a very homey feel with lovely staff working here. I liked the proximity to the beach, only a very short walk and that the hotel is in the nature away from all the hustle and bustle.
The breakfast was good and generous and restaurant for evening meals was very good as well.
I think it was the best place I stayed on my trip to Costa Rica.
Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Costa RicaEverything was beyond expectations.
We live in Costa Rica and we know how challenging it can be to keep the smell of mildew and mold down in the rainy season. This place smelt perfect. Everything about this place was perfect. The breakfast, the hosts, the rooms. We actually, we're really late getting done with our car appointment and instead of driving home 3 hours, we decided to book the room. And drive an hour and twenty minutes to the hotel and stay there instead of driving all the way home and we're so glad we did.

From
United StatesBeautiful 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.

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.

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.

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 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.
