About The Beach Bungalows Tamarindo
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.
