Offering outdoor pool and a restaurant, Quinta Esencia is located in Brasilito, only 300 metres from the beach. It is surrounded by lush tropical gardens and features free Wi-Fi.

Each room here is air-conditioned and includes a private terrace overlooking the gardens. They also include a TV, minibar and a coffee maker. It’s clean, comfortable and has the best owners and staff in Brasilito. The transformation of this property is stunning. It’s a quiet little gem just off the main road. It’s comfortable and quirky. The owners and the hostess bring this place to life. I travel extensively and it’s very seldom you get such personalized service. We loved our stay because we were given such personalized treatment. If I ever return to Brasilto, I’ll return to Quinta Esencia.

The rustic-style rooms at Capitán Suizo Beach Front Boutique Hotel are air conditioned and have a seating area, safety deposit box and balconies. They are decorated with wooden furniture and light-coloured beddings. Excellent place to relax on the beautiful Tamarindo beach. The hotel offers excellent service and beautiful facilities, surrounded by gardens and nature. Within the hotel, you will see a variety of birds, monkeys, iguanas, and cats. Seeing monkeys was a special experience. Being on the beachfront, there's easy access to great surfing. In this paradise, you can enjoy nature at its peak. From the moment we arrived as a group, we felt at home. Breakfast is tasty, with wonderful cheese, delicious coffee, and various egg options. We also enjoyed the restaurant for several evenings and the food. The bar service has delicious cocktails and tasty pina colada. Our special thanks to the reception staff, Irwin, and Moises from the concierge service. This hotel is the best value in Tamarindo, so we would like to stay here again.

This boutique hotel offers bright rooms and bungalows, decorated in a contemporary style. All accommodation includes free Wi-Fi, cable TV, a safe and a minibar. The stylish modern bathrooms include free toiletries. Excellent, cannot recommend it enough. Stayed for two weeks as a female solo traveler and felt safe. Stayed in a bungalow which was very clean. This boutique hotel had cozy communal spaces. Breakfast in my opinion is the best value for money in town. It is close enough to everything by foot, but far enough from the bars etc to be quiet, which was perfect for me. Thank you so much to Richard and Juan Carlos for making my stay great!

Set in Carrillo, 500 metres from Carrillo Beach, Hotel Esperanza offers accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a shared lounge and a terrace. Among the various facilities are a bar and massage services. The hotel has an outdoor swimming pool, hot tub and a 24-hour front desk. Life is not about destinations it's about the journey. More importantly the PEOPLE you meet along that journey. Dennis (the owner, operator, cook, maintenance guy, and room cleaner) is one of the few people in my life I met I consider a remarkable human being. His staff (wife and mother-in-law) are as remarkable as he is.
