Beautiful oasis in playas del coco. Away from the craze of the town, but everything in walking distance! Beautiful garden with pool, very cosy feeling with just a handful of rooms surrounding the pool. Tasteful design.

Everything was perfect. The rooms were incredibly spacious, well decorated, bed was super comfy, great AC. The kitchen is super well equipped; even though we didn’t use it, I assume there is everything you might want or need. The pool was a wonderful addition on hot days! We also spent a few days in the containers, which were equally comfortable, though much smaller

This was our last stop on our three week trip through Costa Rica and ended up being our favorite place. La quebrada lodge is just beautiful and the huge pool in the middle is awesome. Everyone is so welcoming and rooms are large and super clean. We ended up ordering breakfast from Maria every morning which was very tasty and plentiful.

From

Soul Shine is the best accommodation choice in the Playa Avellanas area. The cabinas are spacious and clean with comfortable beds, good WiFi, air conditioning and a mini-fridge. The pool is a gorgeous place to relax and the grounds are laden with lush tropical flowers and vegetation. The location is amazing - Avellanas beach is a short walk away, and so are many great restaurants, including Barumis (burgers), Lola’s, La Parruja, and La Esquina, a community space with tacos, sushi, cocktails and other tasty food (visit the public market there on Friday nights for local vendors and live music). You can also walk next door and get some gelato! Owners Yael and Roee are the ultimate hosts and will ensure your stay is as perfect as possible. You really are part of the family when you’re here. And a Soul Shine review wouldn’t be complete without mentioning their delicious brunch! This place serves up some of the best food you’ll find in the area – even in all of Costa Rica. Authentic menu items such as shakshuka, Gypsy King, falafels and avocado toast are all served hot and fresh with crispy salad and yummy tapas on the side. The fresh bread is served warm and melts in your mouth! Soul Shine has everything you need for a perfect stay in the Playa Avellanas/Playa Negra area – comfortable rooms, attentive hosts, amazing food and close to the beach and restaurants. You won’t be disappointed if you stay at Soul Shine!

Muchas gracias to the owners from Hotel Casa Carlota. The Hotel is near from Tamarindo, but you may be need a car to go there. For us it was perfect far away from the trouble. But its close to a supermarket. The room was very clean and we had enough space. You also have a fridge and a coffeemachine. We used the kitchen outdoor in the cooking area for the breakfast. There‘s also a swimmingpool, which was cleaned everyday. The owners are very friendly and they also give us good suggestions. We would choose this place everytime again. muchas gracias para todo y hasta la proxima pura vida David and Sabrina

Everything! The front desk staff, especially Ernesto, was very patient and welcoming. The views from the room, the pools, the restaurant were all incredible. Such a luxurious and relaxed vibe. The room was huge. The breakfast was delicious and satisfying. We did not want to ever leave! We also really enjoyed the tours with Santos, especially the E-boat.

Tamarindo is a nice place to visit if you want to relax on the beach for a few days. The beach is clean and there are a variety of other activities available in the area as well as respectably priced accommodation. You can make a visit as busy or as quiet as you like. Plenty of places to eat and drink.

It is a good place to find a restaurant and nightlife.

It is a good place to find a restaurant and nightlife. There are much nicer beaches close by if you are looking to enjoy the water and a nice sunset. Unfortunately the rising costs in Costa Rica are making it less desirable to visit. It is getting run down in many areas and the costs are climbing dramatically.

Great town great beach.

Great town great beach. Good supermarkets and friendly people in general. We met some locals through some friends and we were made to feel at home quite quickly. Nice place. Go to the Burger Window, (Google it) its in an open bar which has a few other eating stalls as well. A great curry shack too. But the burgers at Burger Window really are SUPERB. The service is quite non committal. There are few smiles and you can get put off by that. But listen, the burgers are worth the grief. Also try the crepes both savory and sweet at the little Ahora Si shop and then try the big Ahora Si restaurant further up the street. Both owned by the same family. Both very good choices. Ask for Antonio at the little Ahora Si crepe place

The resort was nice, pool was refreshing.

The resort was nice, pool was refreshing. No premium drinks, a bottle of Crown was $90, and only 1 brand of beer. The food at the buffet wasn't the greatest. Fish was dry, salad dressings were odd or just oil and vinegar. One day I had a poached egg and the yolk was hard and the whites were runny. French toast was hard and tough on the outside and soggy on the middle. You could only eat in the specialty restaurants once for every 3 days of stay.

We stayed at Hotel Velero right off the beach in Playa Hermosa. It was relatively quiet (in the best way!) compared to the neighboring Playa del Coco. The beach was clean, the sand was soft, and the temperature was great. We saw dolphins and great sea birds from breakfast at Hotel Velero. We also had dinner at Roberto's and La Casita del Marisco. I would highly recommend Playa Hermosa to everyone and would love to return!

A nice beach town which has most conveniences but is not too big. We had visited in 1988 so the development since then was breathtaking. We visited during the off-season (October) so it was very rainy but had clear periods each day. The advantage to visiting this time of year is hotel prices are generally lower, but many businesses are closed so for example a restaurant you wanted to visit may not be open and I had more difficulty renting a good surfboard than I thought I would. As mentioned before, the rain can be a problem during the off-season but I understand the period from December to April is mostly rain free. I would imagine the town is much more crowded in season which could affect the experience.

Playa Flamingo was one of our favorite stops on our 10-day trip. It's scenic, relaxed, and incredibly fun to explore. Driving along the coast was a highlight in itself, with beautiful ocean views and plenty of little spots to pull over and enjoy. Getting around was super easy with a car or motorcycle, though you do have to watch out for the many potholes and speed bumps. Where we ate: Coco Loco- Incredible food right on the beach, and the piña coladas were honestly some of the best we’ve ever had. Gracia La Vid- Amazing pizzas in a casual, open-air setting. Fun vibe, great for dinner after a day in the sun. Playa Flamingo is perfect for groups of friends looking for a mix of adventure and relaxation. We enjoyed a sunset catamaran tour, horseback riding, ATV tours, and jet ski rentals. All are easy to book and great ways to experience the coast. If you’re looking for beautiful beaches, great food, and plenty of activities, Playa Flamingo is definitely worth a visit.
