Set in Sámara, 100 metres from Samara Beach, Hotel Sol Sámara offers accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a garden and a terrace. Featuring a restaurant, the 3-star hotel has air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi, each with a private bathroom. Guests can have a drink at the bar. The 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.

Situated in Tamarindo, 500 metres from Tamarindo Beach, House of Nomad - Adults only features accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a garden and a terrace. This 4-star hotel has air-conditioned rooms with a private bathroom. The hotel also provides free WiFi as well as a paid airport shuttle service. Everything! It was a sanctuary for me. Clean, well-maintained, nicely designed room and space (the room was also very spacious — I could even lay out a yoga mat and practice everyday with more than enough space to walk around it). There’s a self-contained kitchen if you wanna cook. Also the owners and staff are fab — very friendly and helpful :) Close to restaurants and shops. It’s a short 2-3min walk to the main street and a big supermarket right there… and you can walk to the beach in about 10mins or less. If you’re feeling lazy, there are about 4 restaurants at your doorstep. As a solo female traveler, I also felt really safe. Would totally recommend this place to anyone visiting Tamarindo!

Set in Playa Flamingo, 300 metres from Potrero Beach, Hotel Tabasco offers accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a terrace and a casino. Among the facilities at this property are a shared kitchen and room service, along with free WiFi throughout the property. The hotel has a hot tub and a concierge service. Everything 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.
