Domus is a small compound of apartments with a pool. It is right in the middle of Tamarindo. If you are looking for authentic style Costa Rica, this is it. Small, relaxed, simple. This is not a traditional hotel, hence the "apartment" rentals, but still has someone on hand to help you out if you need advice or services. The... More

First of all, if you vacation to be pampered and spoiled and like paying for it this place is not for you. If you enjoy experiencing the real Costa Rica, this place is perfect! We stayed in a studio room with a bed, mini fridge, 13" tv and a toilet and shower. Room is about 12'x12' and completely spotless. The... More

We stayed in Tamarindo for a few nights and really enjoyed Domus Kahuna. The rooms were comfortable, and the kitchenette was perfect. The hammock on the porch was so relaxing. The pool was literally 5 feet from our front door, and we took advantage of it! The hotel location is close to everything, including a grocery store. We walked everywhere... More

Just returned from 5 nights at Domus Kahuna. Paolo, the owner, was curteous and helpful from the first email through to our last night's stay. He even let us use his personal BBQ after we caught fish! The pool was really nice on hot afternoons, and I REALLY enjoyed the included typical breakfast. Everything was also VERY clean. I am...

The breakfast is a bit of a bummer if you expect too much, other than that, the apartments are great, youve got AC in the bedroom, fans in the rest, a little terrace, kitchen, a small pool and the towncenter 200m away. The owner is awesome, United airlines lost my luggage for a day and the he lent me a... More

My friend and I traveled to Costa Rica this November for a conference. We wanted to stay at a small hotel for a few days before we checked in to the resort where the conference was being held. We picked Domus Kahuna and booked a 2 bedroom apartment because it looked clean and inviting on the website. Well, it was... More

I was beyond pleased with my stay at Domus Kahuna! For starters, it is centrally located to everything one could need...the beach, shopping, grocery, and nightlife. My friend and I rented the two bedroom apartment and loved it. Paolo, Massimo, and Jose were very helpful, informative, and best of all... are all around fantastic guys! Tamarindo is a great place...
