Tamarindo Private Home Rentals

"Lovely staff"

"We love this place! This was our second stay and you just can’t beat the location! Our room captures the beauty of the ocean only steps from the beach with plenty of lounge chairs and restaurant just steps away. Staff are extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating. Make sure to get a massage right there on the beach."

"If you prefer a nice smaller hotel compared to the mega resorts, this the place for you! It’s set on a hill just a few minutes from everything. The property is lush with greenery and feels very private. The rooms are clean and, while not fancy, nicely appointed and clean. The bed was comfortable and the room had more than we needed. The pool is lovely and a delicious breakfast was served every morning poolside. With only 11 rooms we got to know other guests and chatted with the owners often. The owners made us feel like guests in their home rather than a hotel. It was such a nice stay!"

"Great hotel, the restaurant across the street is very nice."

"I definitely enjoyed our time at Occidental, the staff are all super nice (especially someone working in the entertainment of the resort, I forgot his name, who took the time to learn our names and would always say Hello and was overall such an amazing person)and the location of the hotel is in a nice little corner on the beach allowing you to swim in a natural current that is between two beaches. It was our 10 year anniversary and the hotel provided us with a nice bottle of wine when we arrived and a nice surprise in our room with flowers! Thank you!! Some things they should do to improve satisfaction: 1. Shower head in our room was old and was not pouring the water properly. 2. Cleanliness of the pool more often. 3. Consider cooling the pool for super hot days. 4. They had an event during our last day that they only advertised 30 minutes prior to. They should definitely advertise this to the guests more in advance as it was a fun show to watch and I feel like more guests would enjoy it with proper advertising for said events. Thank you for the amazing stay!"

"Amazing hotel, beautiful rooms, great staff. "

"This is a boutique hotel. Not crowded or rushed. The food was extraordinary. We never felt hurried or rushed."

"Walking distance and reasonable prices in the area for food and drinks"

"Everything about my stay was wonderful! From pre-arriving, to helping me book transportation to from the airport, to check-in, this stay really enhanced my trip. The breakfast is incredible! The coffee is amazing. Freddie our breakfast server was delightful. Justin at the front desk is super helpful and his positive energy is continuous. Thanks for the tips on the coffee and attention to detail through every interaction. I wish i was staying here longer but will definitely spread the word. I loved the pool! And rooms are super clean and met all my needs."
