We stayed with our family of 8 in this condo. It was very roomy and each room had its own bathroom and felt private--it would be great for couples traveling together as well. There was space to gather and play games together (there are some to share in the condo, so fun!) They also had 2 boogie boards and beach chairs as well as a cooler to use at the beach. We loved eating on the patio and the small dipping pool was an added bonus. This was one of ten condominiums in a complex. The pool was beautiful and refreshing and even during the busiest week of the year, it was not crowded.
The condo was very clean and well taken care of and we were offered a mid-week cleaning if needed. The kitchen had everything you could need. It even had a BBQ.
Janet was the property manager and she was very helpful. She gave me contacts for surfing lessons, the golf cart, and private transportation when we wanted to do some adventuring outside of Tamarindo.
I'm going to try and answer all the questions I would have asked about this property before booking.
BEACH: The condo is across the street from a very nice beach. At low tide, there is plenty of space, but at high tide it was harder to navigate. I didn't see swimming. We loved watching the sunsets from this beach and the condo roof! Tamarindo Beach is much bigger and is about a ten minute walk away. It is perfect for surfing, boogie boarding and swimming. We had surf lessons at the Playa Langosta Beach Club and they were wonderful!
TRANSPORT: We didn't rent a car, but we rented a golf cart one day and that was super fun and helpful! It is $55-$85 per day. The temps are pretty hot and walking in the middle of the day was bearable, but not pleasant. Walking at night wasn't a problem at all. There is a grocery store about 6 minutes walking, but it is very small. The larger grocery store is on the edge of Tamarindo and we drove the Golf Cart there. Walking would have been much too far. We did book a private driver for the day to go hike Rio Celeste and see Llana de Cortes waterfall.
FOOD: There are plenty of great restaurants in Tamarindo, but it is a short walk to get there. It didn't bother us, but if you aren't very mobile, you may want to drive into town. The closest grocery store is the same distance.
If we were traveling to Tamarindo again, I would definitely stay here. I liked that it wasn't right in the town--it felt quiet and secluded. It had all the amenities you could want. Beautiful!
