Tamarindo,
on the northern Pacific coast of Costa Rica, is a magnet
for tourists seeking the relaxed beaches of Central America.
Tamarindo hotels vary from a rented villa apartment to
the relaxed pace of hammock accommodations of a beachfront
house.
The bustling shoreline is the center of life at Tamarindo
Beach. A nearby coral reef makes the beach a busy
center for snorkeling and scuba
diving. Surf camps
offer newbies an opportunity to ride a wave within a couple
of hours. These activities, in addition to deep-sea Costa
Rica fishing and canoeing are some of the things that
bring tourists back year after year. Returning visitors
will sometimes opt for renting a villa apartment instead
of staying at one of the hotels in Tamarindo. One of these
types of alternate lodging, of which they are many types
to choose from help them feel at home, and have less of
an impersonal feel they might encounter staying at a Tamarindo
hotel.
The Villas Longosta are sure to please first time or
return visitors to Tamarindo. There is a 3-day minimum
stay, which is not a problem once you find out about this
villas' oceanfront location, spacious 1300 square feet
2 bedrooms luxury accommodations. While a night will cost
you $215 in the high season and $195 in the low season,
it is less expensive that the luxury Tamarindo hotels,
and there is enough room in the villas to sleep 3 couples
comfortably.
The Villas Macondo are a more economical option for villa
rentals, being priced comporable to the nicer hotels in
Tamarindo. A one bedroom is $80 per night for a one bedroom,
and $100 for a two bedroom in the dry season, and $70
and $90 on the off-season. If you'd like to just rent
a room these are very reasonable as well, you can rent
them for only $25 a night while still enjoying the relaxed
pace here that you won't find in other Tamarindo hotels.
Located on a quiet side street away from the bustle of
Tamarindo Beach, the accommodations don't have oceanfront
views but they do have a pool for you to enjoy, and it's
only a two-minute walk to the beach.
The relaxed pace and diverse populations of guests make
this area a perfect situation to stay at the resorts in
Tamarindo. Among the many resorts in Tamarindo, the Tamarindo
Diria Beach Resort is one of the most popular places to
stay. Surrounding the resort is a national park with views
that will take your breath away. There are different rates
for every season, May through June and September through
December tend to be on the cheaper side. Like many resorts
in Tamarindo, this resort offers everything from the economic
room to the spacious room with an ocean view.
The variety of Tamarindo activities is matched by the
incredible assortment of accommodations. Mountain retreats,
hillside condos, beachfront bungalows, Oceanside villas,
shoreline cabanas, vacation home rentals and the requisite
Tamarindo Hostel offer you so much variety that you can
actually try them all on one trip for an entirely different
experience in each Tamarindo Hotel.
