Stayed here four nights after reading all the glowing reviews here on Tripadvisor. I don't understand. We spent two weeks here in Costa Rica and this was by far the four worst nights of sleep we got. First, the beds are foam, but not like a Temperpedic memory foam. Rather this type of bed creates a crater which is still... More

Our driver had a little hard time finding the hotel as it is down a dirt road, a little further past the center of town. Once he found it though and we were shown our apartment, it was a nice experience. It seemed more like we were staying in a little town and not just some resort. Not long after... More

What a cute little place. The staff were very sweet and helpful. There is a mini kitchen so you could cook. A few blocks from town. Felt safe. Wifi only worked if you were sitting near the office, not in your room. Tuly the kitty was very sweet. They did a load of laundry for us for $10.

We stayed at Tamarindo Yam for a week in early June and loved it. It was our first time in Costa Rica and the staff made us feel at home. The hotel is within walking distance of everything and we always felt safe. Our room was very spacious and had everything we needed. The pool was also a plus. It's... More

About a 8-9 minute or so walk to the main intersection, or 10 to the beach, this quaint accom keeps the noise at arm's length, and has clean quarters, with a clean, if smallish, pool. Steybin was an incredible host, as we had rented out all of the rooms (7?) for some of our wedding party/guests. She was always asking... More
