The staff was fantastic. Very helpful, kind and a lot if fun to be with. The only bad thing was the blaring music in and around the area which made it difficult to sleep.

10/10 Exceptional

Beautiful boutique hotel with a beautiful lounge and pool area. The breakfast and coffee was delicious. This place is run by a great group of locals who care about their guests having an authentic Costa Rican experience.
Andrea, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This hostel is very nice, small and a great place to stay. The location is excellent, you can easily walk to all the good restaurants, and the beach is very close. The staff is very friendly and attentive. Agustin is a great host, along with the whole team. It has two restaurants, one as part of the hostel and another right next door with a great atmosphere and food. The rate includes a delicious breakfast.

La oveja was the perfect stay. The staff were very helpful in showing me around and the restaurant had some of the best food. It’s also in the best location in tamarindo.

Perfect stay, Lovely hotel & great location!
Wonderful stay at Refugio Lodge. Beds were comfy, rooms clean. Lodge is beautifully decorated. All of the staff I met were so gracious, kind and helpful. Augustin communicated with me via WhatsApp starting the day before my arrival to make sure everything went smoothly. He also provided detailed information on local restaurants and things to do and even arranged a driver for me to get to my next destination. I accidentally overslept and missed both checkout and breakfast. Everyone was so kind about it and made sure I had a delicious avocado toast and eggs for breakfast with some of their delicious coffee that they make in house. Perfect location. Just a short walk to the beach. Shops all around. I could t have been more impressed with everything. There was a lot of music I could hear but made for a very festive time in the heart of Tamarindo.

No major complaints besides bathroom or room smelling a bit like mildew. I stayed on a Saturday & music or noise was NOT a huge issue. Breakfast in the cafe was delicious as well!! Will visit again

The people that worked there are very friendly and helpful. Free breakfast is the best breakfast in town and the live music is unbelievable and the drinks are awesome. Hard place to beat.
Coleton, 5-night trip

8/10 Very good

This was a very different stay to my usual. But I still enjoyed it. The free breakfast was a great addition since Costa Rica - well Tamarindo was soooo expensive. Prices there were higher than what I pay in NY or at all inclusives. But the hotel was amazing. The pool was right outside my door. Staff was very friendly. Close to the nightlife. All in all if I ever go back to costa rica(probably not) this will be my go to hotel

Nice spot in Tamarindo
Room was clean, staff was friendly and the free breakfast was great. Very loud at night however. Not that it matters because you’re so close to the beach, but the pool isn’t clean.

Refugio Lodge- I can say it’s a hidden gem! Opened just about two months ago by four wonderful owners, this charming bed & breakfast exceeded all my expectations. Initially, I was concerned about the noise from the nightclub behind the property, as mentioned in other reviews. However, Augustin, one of the owners, reassured me it wouldn’t be an issue during this time of year. it wasn’t an issue for us at all! For two days before arrival, I chatted with Augustin. He patiently answered all my questions about the area, arranged transportation, and even helped us find a place of worship. From that moment, I knew Refugio had us at “Hello”! The entire staff was beyond wonderful and accommodating. They all made the stay unforgettable. Pablo makes a fantastic cup of coffee—piping hot, crafted with care, and brimming with love! Breakfast each morning was a delicious, traditional Costa Rican spread that kept us full through lunchtime. The property is small, but it’s nestled in a lush tropical setting. It’s a block from the beach and walking distance of everything happening in Tamarindo. The market and bank are just across the street, and restaurants are only minutes away. Evenings often featured a relaxed gathering of friendly visitors and locals in the bar area, with live nice music some nights. Refugio Lodge truly felt like home away from home.

Great!
Very cool place in a great location if you’re looking to be in the night life, close to the beach, and by all of the restaurants. As all of the other reviews, and the hotel said in advance, it is loud at night. The food is good, service was excellent, and it is exactly as advertised.
Michael, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Love the area, super easy for what we wanted to do. The plants and property was a cool vibe, loved the food! Live music if you want that was pretty good some nights. A little noisy for our liking, but if you like night life it’s a good spot!
