We had a great stay at Casa del sol. The room was very clean, communication was easy and the location was in walking distance from all the restaurants and bars but still in a quiet area. The beach was only 2 minutes away.

This villa house is majestic and shows you a more rustic, beautiful side of Tamarindo Costa Rica. It’s very private and safe! The villa is lovely, open concept and comfortable and the pool and patio are lovely. The wildlife surrounding the property are all unique and beautiful and should be treasured and not killed if they try to wander in the house. There are howler monkeys, lizards, many beautiful birds, butterflies, and interesting native insects. At night you can see the stars shine bright in the sky with zero light pollution. The rooms all have a great size with private bathrooms each and all have an outdoor shower which is exhilarating. Please do yourself a favor and stay here for a memorable experience in Costa Rica. Eyner is very helpful in all ways to help get you from airport, get you rides to beach or in town, help you get food delivered right to the house (but keep in mind you will want to have cash for all these things). Look no further for your couples, group or family stay in Tamarindo area. The house has marvelous vibes and everyone is sure to chillout and have a great vacation together 😀❤️ Also, 100% stop by the nearest restaurant called Finca for a casado or pizza! So tasty! And make a trip to the Altos de Eros Spa ❤️ they pick you up and drop you off, and definitely a once in a lifetime experience.

The spacious guest house is fitted with 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom, bed linen, towels, a flat-screen TV with streaming services, a dining area, a fully equipped kitchen, and a terrace with garden views. Guests can enjoy a meal on an outdoor dining area while overlooking the inner courtyard views. For added privacy, the accommodation has a private entrance and is protected by full-day security.

The suite was so well designed and decorated. The hosts were very friendly, gave us great suggestions for dining out and places to visit. They both are talented artists and their art is displayed tastefully around the property. Beautiful lush tropical landscaping around the suite gave a very private feel. The private outdoor shower was an unexpected and appreciated surprise. Overall, this little hidden treasure is ideal for any amorous couple to enjoy privacy, beauty, comfort, and quick access to Costa Rica's hospitality. The suite is located close to the beaches, restaurants, and shops in town as well. Liz and I would definitely love to go back!

    This place is awesome for what we desired - peace, quiet, great host with even better service. Clean, spacious with A/C which we needed because it hit 40degrees outside one day. Nice pool with great seating for relaxation and even a setup for remote working under a cooling palapa. Great location, away from the hustle of Tamarindo but still close to a few restaurants and an amazing quiet beach for those spectacular sunsets. Highly recommend for couples looking for quality time together. Pura Vida.

    Nice airy hostel. I stayed in the 8 bed dorm. There was plenty of space around each bunk bed, a fan and AC and a cabinet each to lock with key. Although a small hostel there was ample communal space in the front ( large sofa,table) and on the balcony plus some work out space. Kitchen was clean and well equipped with new pans etc. Staff were really welcoming and super helpful going the extra mile. Location was great. Quiet time 10pm to 7am and not a party hostel which is what I wanted. Very well run and friendly.

    Great hostel with lots of room to socialize, and relax. The pool/exercise room/balcony/dining area were first rate. The rooms were clean, and the cleaning staff was really friendly. The quiet hours were unforced, so even though it was a social hostel, you could also get a good sleep.
