"We were very pleased with the Wyndham in Tamarindo. The staff was exceptional. They went out of their way to make our stay the best it could be. Their pool is very clean and relaxing and the pool bar was a nice additionl. One of the best features is the quality of the beds and pillows. One of the most comfortable rooms I've ever stayed in! And they have a tour operator in the lobby who arranged a few trips for us. We would definitely choose this hotel if we visit Tamarindo again. :)"

"The ocean view was amazing. Most beautiful sunset. The rooms closest to the beach are amazing. Some to the rooms to the back are a bit ancient and needs upgrade. In all fairness to them though they are currently under construction. If you like peace, tranquility and a laid back environment then this is the place to be. My husband and I had 90 minutes massage.
