About the neighborhood

Located in Tamarindo, Pupa House is on the beach. While the natural beauty of Tamarindo Beach and Playa Langosta can be enjoyed by anyone, those looking for an activity can check out Reserva Conchal Golf Course. Avellanas Beach and Playa Brasilito are two other places to visit that come recommended. Jet skiing, kayaking, and snorkeling offer great chances to get out on the surrounding water, or you can seek out an adventure with ziplining nearby. Visit our Tamarindo travel guide

Loved Pupa House!

I really loved my experience at Pupa House, and it really was that perfect accommodation for my tamarindo experience. Incredibly kind and helpful staff, delicious smoothies at their cafe, and a refreshing pool. Staying in a capsule hotel was a fun and new experience, even for someone like me who's a little tall 😂
