Very nice place directly in the fisher town of tarcoles, the owner showed us where to go on his hand crafted map, small nice pool, very clean, great showe and AC, only thing: the rooms have to be aired more often otherwise there is an odor of mould due to the humidity.

I single mindedly visited the Costa Rica Pacific Coast for fishing. I booked Sunni Daze as my base from which to fish in the sea, fish in the river, trek in the Carara National Park, Zip Line in Los Suenos and eat myself silly on mangoes, watermelon, pineapples et al. The room had a double bed plus two bunk beds,... More

The first room we were shown had a strong odor of mold which wasn't acceptable, the second a little bit, but this ceased with turning on the AC. Room was fine with AC, TV, fridge, best shower during our travel in Costa Rica (really hot and powerful), the owner was... More

We planned a trip to Tarcoles to visit the the Carara national park. There weren't many reasonably priced places to stay so we chose Sunni Daze. It was great. Randal, the manager, was really friendly and helpful and just nice to visit with. He was a wealth of information about the area and connected us with a really excellent birding... More

This place is nothing fancy, but I gave it 4 stars for the following reasons: 1. The air conditioner worked perfectly and combined with the ceiling fan, it kept our... More

We stayed in Sunni Daze for one night in January 2013. I can recommend Tarcoles to anyone who'd like to experience real Costa Rican life, not shabby Americanized nightlife like in nearby Jaco. Sunni Daze has comfortable rooms, nice little swimming pool and especially a great manager in Randall, a typical Southern gentleman with a lot to say about the... More

Sunni Daze offers clean rooms with AC, nice shower and convenient to Carara NP...perfect. The Manager, Randall, is friendly and quite helpful and attentive. Can walk to places to eat/drink within a few meters. You'll enjoy the pool after the hikes. In regards to the local mangrove trips, please do not use the commercialized tours- those knuckleheads feed the crocs.... More
