For travelers seeking sun & surf in beachy Tamarindo, the Best Western Tamarindo Vista Villas offers spacious seaside convenience with a classy, comfortable stay.

Overview

NOTE: The hotel will be closed from October 6 to 28, 2024, due to maintenance work and rainy days.

Costa Rica is known for its pristine beaches, with the beach neighborhood of Tamarindo being a big draw for tourists across the world.

If you’re looking for somewhere to stay in the area, I recommend you consider the Best Western Tamarindo Vista Villas.

An Incredibly Convenient Location


One of the best benefits to staying at the villas is its ideal location right along Tamarindo’s gorgeous shoreline in the Guanacaste region’s North Pacific Coast. The seaside hotel not only offers easy access to the beach, but it’s also within a short walk of local restaurants, shops, and nightlife venues.

The Best Western Tamarindo Vista Villas is about 66 kilometers (41 miles) from Guanacaste Airport (LIR). If you’re traveling into Costa Rica by plane, you’ll likely touch down in San José International Airport (SJO), which is 246 kilometers (153 miles) from the hotel. Most travelers take a domestic flight to LIR and enjoy the scenic drive.

Beach Gear is Included


With a stay at the villas, you can pick up some sporting equipment for the beach on your way for a day in the sun!

You can borrow boogie boards, surf boards, beach chairs, umbrellas, coolers, snorkeling gear, and kayaks at no additional charge. Also know that if you decide to bring your own surfboard, the hotel has dedicated board storage as well!

Top Quality Services & Amenities


Convenience is key at Best Western Tamarindo Vista Villas!

To improve your experience, the multilingual staff features a security guard and a concierge who can help schedule activities nearby. Activities available on and around the property include bike riding, horseback riding, sightseeing tours, boating, and fishing.

I’ve also included a few of my personal favorite tours and activities in Tamarindo at the end of the article so be sure not to miss those below!

If you don’t use up all your energy doing activities like swimming and surfing at the beaches of Tamarindo, you can hit the hotel’s fully-equipped fitness room. It’s complete with free weights, treadmills, and weight machines.

Other available services include photocopying, faxing, and free on-site parking.

Cool Off at the Pool


I’d recommend you enjoy a delicious meal at the open-air poolside restaurant, then get drinks at the cocktail lounge.

Kids can splash around in the hotel’s outdoor pool and waterfall, which also has a swim-up bar for adults.

An Eco-friendly Stay


The Best Western hotels in Costa Rica follow eco-friendly practices to limit their carbon footprint and help preserve the country’s natural beauty, and this hotel is no exception.

This means a lot to me so I can feel good about staying here while still being able to enjoy the luxury that comes from being an honored guest.

Bring Your Pet


In addition to the hotel’s family-friendly atmosphere, all members of the household are welcome, including pets! So if you happen to be traveling with your dog, bring them along for your stay!

Rooms

The Best Western Tamarindo Vista Villas is named after its rooms, so it’s no surprise that these villas are absolutely stunning!

With a stay at the villas, you can plan to look out over the Pacific Ocean from the comfort of a tropically styled room complete with handcrafted hardwood furniture. The rooms are designed for families which means that they are spacious with their own living rooms, dining rooms, balconies, and fully equipped kitchens.

Double Rooms


Single travelers or pairs looking to stay at the Best Western Tamarindo Vista Villas can choose from rooms with either one queen or one king bed. These rooms provide a cozy atmosphere perfect for couples seeking a beach getaway, but they’re great for friends or parents and children too.

All Double Rooms come with a complimentary continental breakfast for all guests and free high speed WiFi. Most rooms offer a full or at least a partial view of the ocean as well.

Amenities include a mini-fridge, air conditioning, a safe, a work area with a desk, and a TV with movie rentals. Some rooms have balconies overlooking the sea. Rooms with a mini-bar are also available upon request.

Quad Rooms


Quad Rooms offer all the comforts of Double Rooms with additional space for up to four guests. With this room choice you can recline in two plush queen beds as you take in the ocean view and relax after a long day at the beach.

These rooms have their own microwaves, mini-fridges, and mini-bars. They’re also equipped with temperature controls, TVs, work spaces, and safes. WiFi and a free continental breakfast are included for your convenience and enjoyment as well.

There’s plenty of space for families and other large groups at the Tamarindo Vista Villas!

Activities

Half the fun of staying at Best Western Tamarindo Vista Villas is heading out to the beach and spending time in central Tamarindo!

With a stay at the villas you’ll be well located to take part in some of my favorite activities in Tamarindo including ocean activities like cruising, photographing local wildlife, and surfing.

Go Surfing


Tamarindo is renowned for its excellent surfing conditions. Most of the beaches in the area have beginner friendly surf and gentle waves that can be enjoyed by all skill levels. Popular beaches include Playa Avellana, Playa Negra, and Playa Langosta.

While it’s rare to get huge barrel waves like you might see in other regions, those seeking a challenge can head to Playa Grande and the famous break at Ollie’s Point for consistently larger waves.

Take a Catamaran Sunset Cruise


If you enjoy a bit of luxury on vacation, I think the catamaran sunset cruise in Tamarindo could just be the perfect tour for you!

During the voyage, you’ll get to visit secluded sections of Playa Huevo, Playa Minas, and Pirates Bay. There, you can go for a swim, paddleboard, snorkel, or simply lounge on the beach.

Tours are offered on a 40-foot catamaran equipped with a buffet and an open bar. You can recline on the upper deck while listening to music from the ship’s modern sound system. On the way back, you’ll be able to take in the sunset over the water which is the perfect backdrop for some commemorative photos!

Be Part of the Sea Turtle Watching Tour


Many regions of Costa Rica are renowned for their local wildlife. Endangered species like black and leatherback sea turtles are especially rare, so no visit to Tamarindo is complete without catching a glimpse of these elusive turtles.

On a sea turtle tour, you’ll head out to Playa Minas to see a turtle nesting site at a practically untouched section of the beach where you’ll take a short hike out to the nesting site to watch migrating turtles in action.

Nesting season takes place between October and March.

"This hotel was PERFECT! My wife and I celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary here. The hotel staff cared greatly about our stay. The food in the restaurant was excellent with very competitive prices compared to surrounding restaurants. The beds were comfortable and the views from the pool deck outstanding. We were able to network with many other surfers also staying at the hotel. I am returning soon!"
