After staying in Manuel Antonio for five days we drove to Tamarindo. I had booked four nights at 15 Love Bed and Breakfast through Kayak.com and of course was a little nervous because booking online, based on reviews and photos, always leads to a few surprises. We arrived and were relieved. Nicolas was filling in for the owner for the month. He was expecting our arrival, was very nice and made us feel at home. I think they only have four or five rooms. The room was minimal but it was also very clean and comfortable. The room overlooks the tennis courts and every afternoon we saw Howler Monkeys cruising through the neighboring trees. That was pretty cool. The pool is nice and refreshing. You can't flush the toilet paper so that was kinda funny but who cares it's Costa Rica and we are obviously on vacation so we got over that pretty quick. Every morning you can sit down and order breakfast from the menu for free between 7am and 10am. Smoothies, coffee and whatever you want for breakfast, prepared fresh. We loved that this place is one block away from the main street. It's far enough to be quiet and close enough to walk to everything and we felt very safe. Awesome place!

I spend 3 nights in this amazing place. You are very far away from those huge 5 stars hotel where you just feel like any normal tourist.

Here it's all about you ... People are really nice, helpful and they really care about your experience in their place. The location is perfect (almost next to the beach but away enough to really relax away from Tamarindo's noise). The room was big and the bed really comfortable. I really enjoyed the swimming pool where you can relax with a refreshing smoothie from the bar. The breakfast was also really yummy.

It was also funny to look at the monkeys playing in between the trees next to the tennis court. So without hesitation, I'll come back here on day or another ....

My boyfriend and I stayed here for a week's vacation and could not have been more pleased with our stay. Even though we arrived late at night, we were greeted by Olivier and offered a drink. The room was large, clean, and comfortable and was thoroughly cleaned everyday by staff. The breakfast was absolutely amazing...homemade and delicious. The breakfast smoothies and coffee were devine. My boyfriend is a tennis player, and so he was thrilled to take a couple of lessons with Olivier. We enjoyed the little walk into town..it was truly minutes from the hotel to the beach and town and we felt safe even walking back late at night. Finally, Olivier and Emily took a lot of time helping us plan the best sight-seeing trip and were happy to help us coordinate all of those trips. We could not believe how great the price was for our stay when we had such great service. If we ever visit Tamarindo again, we will most definitely stay here.

I was thrilled to have found this B&B on the net! As a single female traveler, I felt totally at ease as I walked through the front entrance, being greeted with a fresh smoothie and a modern chic place to stay. From that moment, Olivier and Emily made me feel totally at home and part of the family. They recommended and organised a diving trip to Catalina Islands up North and also recommended a surf instructor, Nick Holt, who gave me private surfing lessons. The last night I was there, they arranged for a taxi to take me to the airport at 5:15am.

Nothing was too much effort for Olivier and Emily. I asked to change rooms one of the nights as there was an American businessman in the room next to mine who was on the phone all night talking extremely loudly... it was no hassle to change rooms and from then on, I slept like the dead.

The rooms are gorgeous, spacious, modern and well kept with attention to detail in the finishes.

The tennis courts are great and you can play at any time. And then sit and have a drink around the pool.

I would definitely recommend this place to anyone and will be back when I come back to Tamarindo.

Thank you for everything Olivier and Emily.
