“Great experience!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed July 23, 2012

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 off the beaten path, which we thoroughly enjoyed. I highly recommend staying here when visiting Tamarindo.

This place is overall very good. We stayed here for 6 nights in Mar2012 and it was great.
Positives -
Good rooms. Ours had a kitchen and we were able to make breakfast every morning and then take off to the beach
Clean overall
GREAT staff - Steybin was amazing and was very helpful. She spoke decent English as well.
Good location, close to the beach and town, restaurants etc
Reasonably priced.

Negatives -
The bed was a little hard but it didn't ruin our sleep

I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a place to stay in Tamarindo.

Room Tip: If you don't like running up and down the stairs, ask for the room at the entrance - that one is...

“Wonderful”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed June 30, 2012

Tamarindo Yam is a very nice place to stay. Is just a short walk to the ocean & the busy town shops & restaurants. Was nice as is peaceful place & even has a monkey family living in the trees there. Steybin is a most wonderful host & she was very helpful & kind. You will feel secure here & the accommodations are very clean.
Enjoy

“Cute abode away from the noise”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed May 22, 2012

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 us if there is anything we needed further, or that could be improved.
Security 24/7 with locked gate (not that you need it in the area at all!), also very friendly.
No breakfast, but for the price, not unreasonable.
Apartment-style setup allows for lots of home cooking (if that's your thing), and plenty of beverage storage with the good-sized fridge.
Quiet area, except for the monkeys in the morning and evening.
Thank you Steybin!
