We received a warm welcome from Mario. He was very friendly and helpful throughout our stay - on one occasion he arranged an evening meal reservation for us at Rancho Don Luis (they opened up just to accommodate us and the other couple staying at Amazilia). Our room was an adequate size - the wide bed was very comfortable and the shower worked well (though the water wasn't hot). We made very good use of the lovely pool area. The dining area was great and we enjoyed the breakfasts - the cook was also responsible for cleaning the rooms and the property and she did a great job. Amazilia is ideally located for Parque Nacional Rinco de la Vieja - unfortunately, during our stay, the park was closed due to the excessive rainfall Costa Rica had been having. We ate 3 times at nearby Rancho Los Gavilanes - it has a lovely setting by a river.

Very nice and clean appartment. We stayed here for 2 nights to take some relaxing time during our roundtrip in Costa Rica. We enjoyed the pool at the end of the day after coming back from the beach.

I had the best time here!!! The apartments are so beautiful and you feel at home as soon as you enter it. It’s made with much love and has a beautiful design. The location is of course a bit off but you have 2 restaurants in walking distance and so many nice beaches around. Out of all my accommodations I had in CR this was my favorite. Also the owner is just the best person ever! Such a warmhearted, funny woman, always there to help if you need anything! :))

Fresh homemade excelent breakfast. Jam, bread, yoghurt, etc all made by the hosts in the morning and tasted wonderful. We were lucky and got to have Marcos homemade dinner which was a delightful experience. Wonderful inviting hosts. We really enjoyed our stay and hope we will be back some day!

What a view: Right in front of the beach. The staff that welcomed us was so nice! We end up eating there and for the view, location, quality of the food and prices, more than worth it.

My favourite beach stay! Staff were lovely. Location was incredible, right on the beach. Lots of chill out spots to relax on the sand, the shade of a magnificent tree. The Italian food was incredible!! Rooms were very clean! I wish could have stayed longer, but I will definitely go back!

The location was amazing, room were basic but they had private washrooms and air conditioners to keep cool. Lots of shelving to keep clothing and belonging organized. super cheap to have them wash some clothes, it was around $3 usd per kilo. loved the hammocks in the common area. all the tables were great for playing games while having a drink, very laid back vibe. the fridge in the room was fantastic.

We loved the breakfasts! Something different prepared every day, they bring in chefs, everything is very tasty and beautifully presented. A very intimate setting too, great for chatting to other guests and the host, Jenna, who was enthusiastic and attentive. Loved the hammock chairs, beautifully placed for watching the sunset. Room was very clean and was kept very clean during our stay. Only about a 15 min stroll into town (I think quite a few reviews put this as a downside but it’s an easy walk), quiet location.

My best decision was to stay at Hotel Boruca, the staff was always friendly and they welcomed us and helped us with a smile. The room was very clean and carefully decorated. The price is very good for the Tamarindo area and it's location worked very well for us, we gone to the beach, visit restaurants, we was only have to walk 200 meters. Definitely if I return to Tamarindo, I will return to this hotel.

I loved everything about this space. My budget room was small but perfect for my stay. I loved cooling off in the dipping pool before bed each night. Great location … 5 minutes to walk to all restaurants, beach and shops but also not right in the middle of all the late night music etc.
