The Beach Bungalows Tamarindo in Tamarindo, open January–April.
The Beach Bungalows Tamarindo began operations in the early 2000s as a collection of beachfront properties designed to capture the laid-back essence of Costa Rica's Pacific coast.
The property underwent comprehensive restoration in 2018, modernizing facilities while preserving the rustic charm and ocean-view architecture that define its character.
Set directly on Tamarindo Beach in Guanacaste Province, the venue offers 12 individual bungalows and beachfront event spaces for ceremonies and receptions.
We had a great stay here. The bungalow is a unique space, which is exactly why we chose it. It’s tucked away from the main strip, making it much quieter while still being conveniently located. The bed was very comfortable, and we really enjoyed having breakfast on the terrace in the mornings. We also had the pleasure of meeting the owner, Shannon, who was incredibly friendly and kind. We truly appreciated her allowing us to store our luggage in her office, which was a big help.
