Hotel Flores

Poolside calm in lively Tamarindo

A waterfall trickles into the pool at Hotel Flores, bringing a softer rhythm to a stay in lively Tamarindo. Pebbled paths and colorful gardens surround this modest hotel near the town’s shops and beach. It is a welcoming, cost-conscious base for travelers who want to make the most of the coast outside their room, while still finding pleasure in the hours spent at the hotel. Settle into a lounge chair after an outing and let the waterfall accompany a quieter evening.

Give the shore room in your plans

On Guanacaste’s Pacific coast south of Liberia Airport, Tamarindo’s crescent-shaped beach brings surfers, locals and travelers together. Beginner surf lessons and boogie boarding let you join that beach-day energy, while restaurants along the shore invite you to stop for a meal or a fresh cocktail. A sunset boat cruise gives the end of the day a different perspective on the coastline; ATV outings and horseback riding offer other ways to explore on another day.

For a gentler change of scene, the protected Rio Matapalo and Rio San Francisco estuaries draw your attention toward wildlife and calmer surroundings. Back in town, bars, lounges, pubs and beachfront live music keep evenings lively. Flores gives you a garden return when you are ready to step away from that movement, with warm hospitality and the pool providing a simple invitation to slow down.

A welcoming return to the garden

Each morning begins with a complimentary à la carte breakfast. Enjoy it before heading out, then keep the rest of the day flexible: a lesson on the beach, a little shopping or time beside the pool. Wi-Fi is available in public areas, and parking is provided, so practical arrangements can fit around the pleasures of being on the coast.

All rooms have air conditioning and ceiling fans, welcome comforts after a hot day outside. Private bathrooms with hot water, refrigerators, cable television and safes cover the essentials without turning a modest stay into an elaborate resort experience. Choose Flores for its balance of town access, a pleasant garden atmosphere and a budget that leaves room for Tamarindo’s activities and evenings out.
