"Before you walk through the gates, you’ll be wondering if this is one of the bad hostel’s on your trip… but as soon as you check in and meet pepe, you’ll quickly feel like home. There’s a lot of space, the rooms are clean, the kitchen doesn’t really need anything and, best of all, you’ll become friends woth Pepe and his wonderful dog It’s too far away from the beach to walk but you can easily get a collectivo and isn’t very much."

"The best place for staying at Tamarindo! it´s very close to the town centre; you can rent a surfboard at the Hostel and go walking to the beach which takes 5 minutes. The place is very nice, swimmingpool, Chillout Zone,...and the most important thing is the good energy that you can feel there thanks to the Staff."

"When I arrived, the owner of the property told me he wanted me to cancel my expedia booking and pay him cash because "he couldnt recieve the funds I paid through expedia". I submitted a request for a full refund and expedia said they need confirmation through the owner of the hostel. The hostel owner told me that he confirmed with expedia and made me pay him money before I received any sort of refund for the money I already had paid for my stay. I contacted expedia yesterday to confirm that I...

"The property was full of cockroaches.. My room was filthy with long hairs all over the floor. And a dead maggot dead in the plughole. Cockroaches alive and dead everywhere. The whole place was infested..the kitchen had cockroaches peeping out from under the microwave ..let alone any other surface. I'd of been cleaner sleeping on the street !!!!. Asked for a refund , which was refused as I had to quickly find another place to stay .. STAY CLEAR OF IT....."

"We were a party of 10 friends and enjoyed a fabulous stay in the cabanas during our “adult summer camp” vacation. The amenities are basic but perfect. The chefs prepared delicious breakfasts and lunches for us, and we enjoyed our time around the pool and on the beach. The water taxi to Tamarindo made day trips to town very easy (nighttime required taxi rides). Manfred was very attentive to our needs and helped set up everything from transportation (airport and otherwise), excursions, stocking...

"My husband and I booked this property to take our two young adult sons (21 and 22)on a family vacation. The gated community was perfect for our sons to venture out without us worrying about them driving to unfamiliar areas. It was very convenient to have shops, cafe, restaurant and bar in the gated community. I spent more time on the patio by the pool than in the house! Beautiful layout with sun and shaded areas at different times of the day, surprisingly private. You can also see the estuary...

"We traveled to Costa Rica to celebrate my husband's 70th with our kids and grandkids. The 10 of us ages 70-7 had the time of our lives. Casa Amigos was everything we'd hoped it would be and more. The location right across from the beach access was perfect. The house had plenty of room for 10 people with a pingpong and foosball table for everyone's entertainment. But the best part of the house was the backyard. The setting was beautiful. Between the pool, lounges, cabana and large table you felt...
