Had the most amazing stay at Ocho Artisan Bungalows. The rooms are decorated beautifully and filled with super helpful hardworking staff who will go above and beyond for your needs. Amazing views and easy access to beach, didn't need to drive around once during our time in Tamarindo as it was in the heart of the best spots. Mauricio, our server for breakfast, was a phenomenal server and especially extremely kind and helpful. 10/10 will be back!

Liked: Cleanliness
I stayed here last night . The staff are very nice and friendly but are not very knowledgeable on tours as someone external is planning these things for guests rather than the staff in site. We were not highly impressed by a request via PayPal for deposit on tours or constant barraging of strange numbers messaging me. It is highly unprofessional of a property to message guests to send money to them via PayPal . The price of accommodation does not reflect the property at all. It is not worth what you pay for. It is essentially a 3 star. Breakfast options don’t have açaí bowls, which is what people want in that type of weather. The pool is nice but we saw a guest smoking marijuana near the pool. This is more of a hostel vibe rather than a 4 star accommodation. At no point should an accommodation allow a guest to smoke cannabis. For 200-250£ a night, guardian uk recommended it , I don’t believe it to be worth this

This property is in an excellent location, offering easy access to the beach and a perfect spot to watch the sunset. However, the hotel itself could use some improvement in terms of room cleanliness and overall presentation. We did enjoy an impromptu DJ show during our stay, and would say based on our experience, it seems the property caters more to a younger, party-oriented crowd. Helpful staff, just not our vibe.

Unsafe hotel- management not on site at night. We were unable to communicate with anyone despite multiple attempts to express our safety concerns and left in the middle of the night. There was no support from the hotel as we tried to cancel the reservation, and finally had success with our credit card company months later. I would strongly advise you check out Jardín del Edén Boutique Hotel. We were fortunate to stay there for the remainder of our stay in Tamarindo. Best wishes to all traveling. Pura Vida!

Unique property in the area right on the beach. It's a busy beach but long and beautiful. The property feels secluded.The bungalows were very private and beautifully decorated. They are a bit rustic but feel luxurious with welcomed air conditioning. The staff were helpful in booking excursions. The breakfast included was generous. There was an on site DJ but we did not have the experience during our stay. I would recommend a stay here.

The beachfront location of our bungalow could not be beat! We enjoyed listening to and watching the antics of a group of Howler Monkeys in the trees above our bungalow. The restaurant food was very good. We enjoyed every meal we had there and also liked the walkability to many other beachfront restaurants. The bungalow itself has a unique Bohemian feel. We also enjoyed the nightly music and fire shows. As far as the service,Miguel, Miya, Sebastian and Jose were top notch. I'm sure I'm forgetting someone but the vibe here is very warm and welcoming. I wish we could've stayed longer!
