Hotel Nahua

An easy pause near Tamarindo’s beach

Tamarindo’s beach and downtown are a five-minute stroll from Hotel Nahua, but the hotel gives you a pleasant reason to pause before setting out again. Tropical gardens surround the pool, and a covered gathering area with chairs and hammocks invites a little time with a book or with friends. This is a budget stay whose appeal lies in uncomplicated pleasures: somewhere to cool off, somewhere to linger, and the town close at hand.

An easy place to return

Use the guest grill for a casual meal, settle into a hammock afterward, or fit a swim between outings. The rooms are basic and clean, with several styles sharing air conditioning, cable television and private bathrooms with hot water. WiFi is available in some common areas. Choose the room around the comforts you need, then let the gardens and shared spaces become part of your stay.

Let town and coast share the day

Beyond the hotel, golden sand and Tamarindo’s shops, restaurants and bars offer plenty of ways to shape a beach vacation. Different stretches suit swimming, boogie boarding and surfing; choose your time in the water around the activity and conditions. You can give a morning to a surf lesson, leave another for browsing town, and still be close enough to return for pool time before the evening.

For a different view of Guanacaste, consider a catamaran cruise along the coast, a canopy zipline outing or a guided riverboat safari through Palo Verde National Park. Crocodiles, monkeys and iguanas are among the animals you may encounter on the safari. Explore the Tamarindo tours to choose the outings that interest you, leaving room between them for Nahua’s slower pace. The hotel suits travelers who want a straightforward room bill and the freedom to make the beach town their own.
