This hotel is located in the center of Tamarindo, but in quiet area. You can relax in peace by the relatively large swimming pool. The hotel is close to restaurants, bars, shops and the beach. You will find everything you need in its surroundings. There was nothing to complain about the room and cleaning. Nice and helpful staff. Puravida

The hotel is super stylish and perfectly located. I really enjoyed my stay there. The hotel manager and the staff were especially nice and helped me in many situations. The café is also excellent, and the breakfast was simply delicious! Everything was perfect! I would stay at this hotel again anytime and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a central yet quiet and cool spot in Tamarindo.

The owners are friendly and accommodating. They gave me great recommendations for places to visit. The property is gated and feels very safe, and provides a nice respite from the hustle and bustle of the town. My room was very clean and comfortable. The room had a refrigerator, the shared kitchen had the equipment for making simple meals or reheating leftovers.

Very nice and quiet little place - beautiful rooms and pool. Lovely owners, who were there the whole time taking care of the place and of us. We came without a car, and they gave us lifts to the beach, the supermarket and even to the new hotel, when we after some very relaxing days moved on. Amazing.

This is the best hostel I went to during my 5 weeks in Costa Rica. Beds are comfortable, there is a huge bathroom where there is shower and toilet in each unit, great kitchen with lots of kitchenware and two electric stoves. In the dormitories there are enough space for all the backpacks and stuff. They have small lockers for valuables. Nice pool with sunbeds and hammocks. And beautiful plants in the garden. Staff and volunteers and super nice and helpful, they really care about the wellbeing of their guests. And also the hostel is very clean. Close to center and supermarket. I am more than happy I chose this one in Tamarindo.

    Our stay at Hotel Elixir was great. The location is perfect, really central but also tucked away from too much noise. The breakfast was excellent and the staff really helpful. Our room was very comfortable and spotlessly clean.

    My best decision was to stay at Hotel Boruca, the staff was always friendly and they welcomed us and helped us with a smile. The room was very clean and carefully decorated. The price is very good for the Tamarindo area and it's location worked very well for us, we gone to the beach, visit restaurants, we was only have to walk 200 meters. Definitely if I return to Tamarindo, I will return to this hotel.
