What travelers are saying
- Brenda D4 contributionsOn a dirt road you get to paradise. Recommend 4x4. Laid back vibe. Only a few restaurants one high end Italian and a few local. Spectacular views.Written June 11, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- DynamicjohnTampa, FL313 contributionsIt's the slow season, but it's still a busy beach. We love just watching the waves, but the vendors selling crap can be very annoying. Also you have the people asking you to pay for parking. Don't make eye contact and your good.Written September 14, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Emmy W2 contributionsCarlos is an amazing teacher! I had a lesson with him last year and was able to surf many waves, much to my surprise as it was my first time surfing ever! This year, I brought my two children, ages 7 and 11, and they also had wonderful experiences learning to surf from Carlos over two lessons. He was willing to take them out in some bigger waves and I had every confidence that he could keep them safe while having an incredibly fun time. He was flexible with us on timing when conditions were different than expected. He is encouraging and helps you to build confidence, even if you are generally not super athletic. We will return and we will absolutely seek out Carlos again for our next surfing adventure.Written September 9, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Seaworthy-ChartersDana Point, CA142 contributionsWe took a family vacation to Costa Rica and since we run a fishing charter business ourselves, we wanted to fish the local waters. Signed up for a 3/4 fishing trip with a local team and took the entire family. The guys were great and took us to some of their favorite spots. Caught all kinds of fish, made great memories, and had the best day on the water! Thank you!Written October 28, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- Braiden M1 contributionMy favorite yoga class I have ever taken! Helena was very accommodating and tailored the class to my own personal needs. It was apparent that she is extremely knowledgeable and she carries herself with such grace. All experience levels were welcome and practicing yoga on the beach was a great way to start/end the day. Considering going back to Tamarindo just for Helena’s class!Written August 12, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

She has a true gift of being able to see and understand the feelings and emotions that are helpful when making decisions. She has an unbelievable way of pulling it all together and bringing clarity to chaos! Her work has been instrumental in helping me understand, evolve and learn to make my own choices that I feel good about! I am SO grateful for her work and for her gift and that she is the one that I have to call on when I need that extra boost of knowledge and/or clarity to move through life's many complicated decisions!

- Martin11250507Alma, AR71 contributionsMy husband and I enjoyed the 11 different zip lines. The guides were friendly, funny and easy to understand. I even got to go upside down on one of the longest runs; what a thrill. The views were mainly of the ranch. We saw iguanas and howler monkeys. Several of the runs were very long which we enjoyed and there was little hiking between each one.Written April 2, 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- CalypsoSFCalypsoSF6 contributionsThis is such a great little bookstore! The selection of children's books is amazing ---carrying Conscious Bedtime Stories and children's book by the amazing, Amy Guglielmo. I love buying books for my nieces here.
