About The Beach Bungalows Tamarindo

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.
