Wyndham Tamarindo

Tamarindo

Good to Know

Wyndham Tamarindo gives a hillside stay ocean-view balconies, an infinity pool and sunset outlooks over the bay. Pura Vista dining, spa and fitness facilities make hotel time appealing. Free town shuttles run to a schedule, while walking back is uphill. Beach-club access is complimentary; confirm whether free round-trip transfers or the $1 each-way club shuttle applies to your stay.


A wider outlook over Tamarindo Bay

Tamarindo Bay opens out below Wyndham Tamarindo, turning a hillside stay into a vacation with a wider outlook. The hotel’s modern boutique character and Pacific views, especially around sunset, give you good reason to let the accommodation become part of the experience. A small private balcony brings the ocean into every room, while the infinity pool invites an afternoon with no other destination in mind.

Give the view some of your time

The large infinity pool has a swim-up bar, with lounge chairs and sun umbrellas in the outdoor relaxation area. Indoors, comfortable couches provide another place to enjoy the panorama. Daily fitness-room access, a solarium, spa and wellness center let you choose a more active or leisurely interval, with treatments and massages available when you want to make time for them.

Meals above the coast

Pura Vista Restaurant serves Costa Rican and international cuisine, including steak and fresh seafood, with indoor and outdoor ocean-view seating. A breakfast buffet starts the day, and room service gives you another way to enjoy time at the hotel. Town restaurants provide worthwhile alternatives, with shops, live music and nightlife adding a livelier evening below the hill.

The room and the journey to town

Room choices vary by beds and floor, with air conditioning, cable television, a telephone, electronic safe, mini-refrigerator and WiFi among the comforts. Bathrooms have bathtubs and hair dryers. Take time on the private balcony, then plan the change of scene: walking to town takes under 20 minutes depending on your destination, but the return is uphill. A free town shuttle operates on a set schedule, and staff can help coordinate a taxi when that timing does not suit.

Complimentary access to Langosta Beach Club adds another way to enjoy the coast. Confirm the club transport before planning around it: check whether complimentary round-trip transfers apply to your stay or the scheduled service costs $1 per person each way. Do not assume that club transfers follow the free town-shuttle arrangement.

Give the coast and inland adventures their own days

Tamarindo’s different beach areas suit swimming, boogie boarding and surfing under different conditions. Surf lessons are available on the main beach, with bigger waves in Langosta and nearby Playa Grande for another outing. Kayaking on the estuary offers opportunities to look for crocodiles, monkeys and other wildlife. Diving off the Catalinas Islands or a dive-shop course explores another side of the water, while a catamaran cruise gives the Guanacaste coastline a slower rhythm.

For an active day inland, consider a canopy zipline adventure or a full-day visit to an adventure ranch near Rincón de la Vieja Volcano. Choose the outings around your interests, then return to the hillside for the swim, meal or balcony interval you left time to enjoy. The hotel’s outlook is especially rewarding when you allow it more attention than a quick glance between departures.

What to consider when choosing Wyndham Tamarindo

  • Stay above the coast for the outlook: hillside views over Tamarindo Bay and the Pacific, especially at sunset, carry into every room’s small private balcony.
  • Give the pool an afternoon of its own: the infinity pool, swim-up bar, lounge chairs and umbrellas let you enjoy the ocean panorama without heading into town.
  • Plan around the hill: a free town shuttle runs on a set schedule. Walking takes under 20 minutes depending on your destination, with an uphill return; staff can help arrange a taxi.
  • Use complimentary Langosta Beach Club access, with transfers confirmed first: check whether complimentary round-trip transport applies or the scheduled shuttle costs $1 per person each way.
  • Make staying in appealing: Pura Vista serves Costa Rican and international dishes, including steak and seafood, with indoor or outdoor ocean-view seating. A breakfast buffet and room service add convenience.
  • Keep your preferred pace: indoor lounging, the solarium, daily fitness-room access and spa treatments provide several ways to spend time at the hotel.
  • Select beds and floor to suit your party: rooms share ocean views, balconies, air conditioning, a mini-fridge and a bathroom with bathtub, along with other practical comforts.
  • Vary the coastal outings: surf lessons, estuary kayaking, Catalinas Islands diving, catamaran cruises and inland zipline or Rincón de la Vieja adventures are options beyond the hotel. Town restaurants, shops and nightlife offer an evening change of scene.

Guest review

Great views from hotel rooms and pool. Clean rooms.

Sarah S.

Beautiful view. Nice pool. Resturaunt wasn't great. The room was poorly organized. My bathroom door swung into my shower. Everything else was nice.

Nancy M.

The only down side is the transport from up and down hill on scheduled time. We paid for taxis most of the time.

Ma'ayan M.

The shuttle and collaboration with the beach club were extremely convenient.

Mélanie B.

Rooms need a little love... but otherwise EXCELLENT. The shuttles to the beach are a must!! And the private beach club is a gem! You should put a little emphasis on those qualities when recommanding this hotel! Really appreciate being a little further from the "city" as it is quiet busy! With our son, this hotel was perfect so he could go to sleep whenever he felt tired. And going to Tamarindo was easy to do with the shuttles!

Luis L.

The views are amazing, the pool is awesome, the shuttle to town is reasonable. Food was not as great as Arenal Paraiso.

James F.

Incredible views!

Samantha D.

Great service! So helpful! Lovely hotel. Great breakfast! Awesome drinks! Thank goodness for the shuttle into town.

Julianna M.

The views from this hotel are wonderful. The service, food, and rooms were good, but not amazing. In the future we would likely pick a hotel closer to the beach. You can walk or take a shuttle down to town, but we felt that the being closer would likely be better next time around. The shuttle also does not run very late, so if you want dinner at around 7 you have to walk or take a taxi back.

Guest review

Breakfast was really the only slightly disappointing part...lack of variety and nothing much for vegetarians. Location was superb as was the pool.

Doren W.

The hotel had very few amenities. The breakfast was well below what was expected. One had to pay extra for bacon, sausage, eggs other than scrambled. There was very, and I mean very little variety from which to choose to eat for breakfast. The cost for a small bottle of water was crazy ($5.00). Of all of the resorts we have visited and stayed over the years, this was undoubtedly the one that I would not ever return.

Janice K.

This hotel is actually older and needed some updating but the views are unbeatable. Every room in the hotel has a view of the ocean. The room was clean but just older. Our mattress needed to be changed because it sank in different spots from extensive use. Our door handle broke during the stay and they had it repaired immediately.

Yvonne K.

Beautiful place, really would have liked something right on the Beach though. The hill was to steep to walk from the hotel. The first night they were out of most everything at the restaurant. Pool and the beach club was incredible. Very touristy area.

Dolly T.

The hotel was beautiful and well appointed with gorgeous view of the ocean. The staff was helpful but not overly friendly and the floors were dirty in the room so we kept our shoes on.

Denise P.

The hotel was away from the central area. Although a shuttle was available. The restaurant staff were not friendly or happy to all appearances. Also, the restaurant food was VERY expensive and not that good. Breakfast was not as good as others breakfasts. Would not recommend this hotel due to location and price and staff. Very hard and uncomfortable pillows. Bathroom was extremely tiny.

Heather J.

The views were incredible and the pool was amazing. Great place for a quiet break. Walking up and dow the hill to go into town and to the beach was not easy without proper footwear and the shuttle didnt run early or late enough for us so a lot of money was spent on taxis. When the hotel arranged a taxi for us we were told 5 minutes but it took 30 minutes and we missed our ride surfing. So just something to know I guess. The gym was not well equipped at all.

Karen S.

It was a bit further from the beach than we would have liked. The staff was not that friendly.

Jayna G.

Staff was kind and friendly; everything was cleaned very thoroughly in the rooms. Beautiful hotel!

Joy H.

Beautiful. Great views of the ocean. Tamarindo was a wonderful place to be to play on the beach.

Randy M.

only downside is didnt realize it was a shuttle to the beach

Chris W.

Rooms were sparcely furnished ie: no comfy chairs or patio table

Vanessa M.

A little mishap with leaking AC right on the first day bUT fixed quickly. The views were amazing and the room extremely comfortable. We did not get the double beds as we thought, but the bed was spacious and comfortable so we left it as is. The breakfast selections were minimal and no matter how early we went down they always seemed to be halfway done with selections left. Wish the shuttle would run a little later as well but it was convenient to get to and from town througout the day.

Jordan L.

The only negative was the food and the cost. It was expensive for the quality.

Roger U.

Changed rooms after checkin due to sliding door lock, or hard to figure out & staff didn't explain well. Went to preferred lower floor anyway & figured out glass door system-trial & error since no written instructions. same w/ hot/cold in shower. Staff very accommodating, esp. when had security safe problem...& restaurant staff terrific!...pool bar too.

Ann E.

Beautiful! Restaurant staff went above and beyond.
