Guanacaste Hotels

Having just done a week's tour of Costa Rica we needed somewhere to relax and unwind and this was perfect. The hotel is wonderful right on the beach with magnificent views of the bay.

Had a wonderful experience at Capitan Suizo Hotel. The staff were amazing. Friendly, helpful and kind, I can't say enough. The hotel was incredibly clean. Not just the room but the entire facility.

Our experience here was amazing — everything from the amenities, service, food and accommodations were over the top.

Wonderful stay at Epic Tamarindo. Lovely, quiet property located outside Tamarindo with easy access to multiple beaches and Liberia airport.

We are here now on our last of 7 days. This place really puts you in a happy place. The grounds are inpecable, the staff front desk, housekeeping, resteraunt and bar incredible.

This hotel is the perfect location in Tamarindo. Great for day trips out of the area. The staff were kind and friendly. Loved using the pool area and a private beach area.

I was looking for a hotel that would be close to the Tamarindo town center but not very noisy and in the middle of everything, and Arco Iris fit like a glove.

Rustic, boho, pretty, and very clean hotel! I loved the architecture and decor! Room and bed very comfortable. Pretty and relaxing pool area and hammocs in front of the room a plus.

What a five star experience at the gorgeous Cala Luna. Every staff member has been so warm and welcoming. They even decorated our room and brought a delicious dessert for our daughter’s birthday.

We had an overall great stay at Cala Luna. Our villa was spacious and comfortable, the private pool was a huge hit with the kids, and the property was peaceful, beautiful, and very well maintained.

Hidden gem side of the road that everyone overlooks to/from Arenal and goes to La Tortuga instead, which was a mob-scene of buses with parking lot attendants or the German Bakery which has zero view

Best gulash in Costa Rica! And fun bird watching and epic view!

I had an amazing experience at Iguana Surf! The entire staff from Oscar and Marcella to the head of housekeeping Patricia made my stay most enjoyable!

My son and I had an exceptional time staying at Iguana Surf.

My boyfriend and I stayed at Onda for 9 nights and it was amazing!

We love it! Great location, less than a quarter mile from the beach. The bar is fantastic and we absolutely love their specialty drink, the coco onda!

Absolutely loved this little motel. It had everything I needed — clean spacious rooms and showers with comfy bed, fridge, good AC, 2 communal kitchens, and a nice small pool and lounge area.

Very clean and save. Great location to hang out. Great value for money with shared kitchen and small pool. Optimal place to stay when diving in Coco.

I'm leaving this review on the restaurant which I eat at 4-5 times per week.

Food is great. Good amount served and very good service Gael speaks English also!

This hotel has the only private boardwalk to the most beautiful beach.
Service was good.
Nice attendance.
Room is simple but clean and very quiet except the monkeys hollering.

What a magical spot nestled in Playa Avellanas! We loved our time at Cabinas Las Olas — the rooms are great — clean and super comfortable.

Amazing hotel and very close to lots of great beaches. The breakfast was very good and a great way to start the day. The pool was very nice and we enjoyed a late evening swim each night.

Our first trip to Costa Rica and this was the best way to start our vacation. The rooms were lovely, the pool was amazing and the service was excellent. We would definitely go back!

We have really enjoyed our stay here. The location is perfect, we can walk to all the restaurants and the beach, but we still feel tucked away.

This stay is a gem in Tamarindo.

Great location. Clean rooms and clean hotel common areas. The pool was beautiful and peaceful. Sunset views were great.

This hotel has some of the best views we’ve ever experienced.

I write this as I am currently a guest at this property. But I have to how how much of a hidden gem this hotel is. It has an at home vibe. The staff I have met so far has been super friendly.

Just spent 3 nights at Hotel El Manglar and truly enjoyed it. It’s rustic and a bit dated, so it wasn’t a wow upon arrival.

Friends needing a last minute place and we really did luck out the location was absolutely perfect. Close to all the good stuff.

We absolutely loved this property. It was just as described. Beautiful. We saw lots of wildlife just sitting outside.

We absolutely loved our stay at this property. This was a family trip — my parents, my two brothers and their partners and myself, my husband and our 2 year old.

Everything about our week at Villa Buena Onda exceeded our expectations! This vacation was a dream come true and our family will forever cherish all of the memories made here!

My stay was excellent from start to finish. The staff were incredibly accommodating, warm, and genuinely lovely, making us feel welcome throughout our visit. The food was scrumptious.

What an amazing experience. QUIN Nosara is well kept and magical. A couple minutes walk to the beach and all kinds of food and adventures.

Our stay in Nosara was absolutely unforgettable. From the beautiful beaches and lush jungle to the incredible wildlife, every day felt like a dream. Paolo was incredible!

I just spent a week at this surf camp and honestly, it was such a great experience. I booked weekly package with level 2 surfing.

The Dreamsea Surfcamp at Playa Avellanas was forreal like a dream! I got to know surfing (as a beginner for 1 week), had the best company ever, and the cooking was amazing! Thank you! Greetings Anna!

Nice quiet location, close to town and restaurants, comfortable beds.
And clean rooms. We really enjoyed the dogs and cats on the property and friendly service. Will definitely stay again.

Spent two nights here and had a wonderful time. We hope to go back again for a longer trip. The villas were lovely. We stayed in a freestanding building with a kitchen.

We had a wonderful week at the Hacienda Barrigona.

Such a beautiful, magical location and hotel! Marlin and Juan Pablo made our retreat and stay especially magical with their exceptional service. The food at every meal was deliciosa!

I had a nice time in Tamarindo because of Surfo House. I was within walking distance of all I needed to do. This place is right in the center.

Surfo House was an excellent stay! The staff were incredibly helpful throughout — always available and accommodating. The room was generally clean, and the central location made it easy to get around.

Laura was absolutely fantastic, as were the entire staff! The location is perfect — safe and close to everything, but quiet and private. I felt extremely comfortable as a woman travelling alone.

Really nice pool area, very inviting. Clean and safe place. Nice staff. Ideal location.

I slept in a capsule in the women’s dorm and felt really comfortable and safe.

Perfect little place. They have food and a bar, views, and a pool. The hosts are very very kind. We locked ourselves out several times and they always saved us within minutes.

Best hostel in Tamarindo! The staff is kind, welcoming and very friendly. The pool and the set up of the whole hostel is very nice. Our stay at this hostel has been relaxing, fun and full of memories!

Loved staying here! The staff are so nice and the best! The hostel is very clean and has a great atmosphere to meet new people! Amazing location, only a few minute walk to the beach.

FANTASTIC Experience!
Very friendly & welcoming staff!
Thanks Kiban, Jared, Mauricio and crew :) )
Made me feel right at home.

One of the best hostel experiences that I've ever had! The location and the space inside the hostel are both amazing. But the most special thing about this hostel are definitely the people.

I can’t recommend this hostel in Sámara enough. The vibe is super welcoming, social, and full of life.

I loved the stay at Woodstock. Incredible place, very nice location, cozy spaces with a lot of plants everywhere.

We loved our stay in Alouatta! 🥰
Beautiful surroundings, really laid back, almost deserted beautiful beaches 🌴 perfect to learn how to surf 🏄🏼‍♀️ (you might find yourself as only one in the water)!

Misha and Yenkim's camping turned out to be a wonderful surprise, far exceeding my expectations.
