Located in Playa Junquillal, 600 metres from Junquillal Beach, Blue Window Boutique Villas Hotel features a garden and views of the garden. With pool views, this accommodation offers a terrace and a swimming pool. The aparthotel provides rooms with air conditioning, free private parking and free WiFi. I had the best time here!!! The apartments are so beautiful and you feel at home as soon as you enter it. It’s made with much love and has a beautiful design. The location is of course a bit off but you have 2 restaurants in walking distance and so many nice beaches around. Out of all my accommodations I had in CR this was my favorite. Also the owner is just the best person ever! Such a warmhearted, funny woman, always there to help if you need anything! :))

Set in Playa Flamingo, 300 metres from Potrero Beach, Hotel Tabasco offers accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a terrace and a casino. Among the facilities at this property are a shared kitchen and room service, along with free WiFi throughout the property. The hotel has a hot tub and a concierge service. TABASCO is a pleasant Mexican-style oasis with friendly French hosts, uniquely located near the beach, restaurants, and bars. I was pleasantly surprised not only by the generous breakfast but also by the fact that they served freshly baked pastries made by their own hands. I also appreciated that they lent me beach chairs, provided beach towels, and even did quite a lot of my laundry. Other small details—like ice cubes in containers or insect repellent—only added to the thoughtful care the hosts showed. The room was clean, comfortable, and had everything I needed. I especially liked that there were two sinks in the bathroom. I highly recommend it.

Refugio Surf Lodge in Tamarindo provides adults-only accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool, a garden and a terrace. Among the facilities at this property are luggage storage space and private check-in and check-out, along with free WiFi throughout the property. Staff on-site can arrange a shuttle service.

Tamarindo Beach is 300 metres from Refugio Surf Lodge. Tamarindo Airport is 4 km away, and the property offers a paid airport shuttle service. This was one of our multiple stays in Costa Rica, and we were truly impressed. The rooms were clean, spacious, and well-equipped. Above all, the Refugio concept — which includes a beautiful café and a cozy bar offering excellent food and drinks — truly exceeded our expectations. Unlike at other accommodations, we didn't have to eat Gallo Pinto for breakfast every day, but could instead choose from a wide variety of delicious brunch options directly from the restaurant/bar. The staff were friendly and always ready to help with anything we needed — from arranging surf lessons to recommending great local restaurants. We were mainly in touch with Augustin, who took excellent care of us. Overall, we were delighted with our stay and can highly recommend this place.
