I had a fantastic stay at this hotel, which was surprisingly close to all the fun yet quiet enough for relaxation. The rooms were very clean and spacious, and I loved having a large fridge to store snacks. The staff, including Victor and his wife, were incredibly helpful and made us feel right at home. On the downside, there was a minor hiccup with late check-in policies and no breakfast included, which was unexpected for the area.

I had an amazing stay at this hotel in Tamarindo, perfect for our honeymoon! The location is fantastic, close to the beach, and the atmosphere was incredibly welcoming. The rooms were clean and stylish, but I do wish there were TVs. The dining experience was delightful, with delicious breakfast options, even though it's not included in the rate. Overall, this place offers great value for money and I would definitely return!

I had a wonderful stay at In the Shade, which is perfectly situated for a peaceful retreat while still being within walking distance to the beach and various activities. The rooms were simple yet modern, and having a fridge was a nice touch for keeping drinks and snacks handy. Breakfast options were delightful, especially the coffee! While the low pressure of the shower and somewhat weak air conditioning were a bit of a letdown, overall, it was great value for the money.

I just had the most incredible three days at In The Shade Hotel. This place is a hidden gem—modern, clean, and very comfortable. I loved how close it is to the center of Tamarindo and the beach, yet it felt serene and secluded. The pool was a fantastic spot to relax after a day out. My only minor frustrations were the cash-only policy and the plumbing situation, but the amazing service more than made up for it. This hotel is definitely my top pick for Tamarindo.
