We had a group of 12 that went end of May. Transport and check in were flawless. We checked in on a Saturday, so the reviews that say that this is a "staycation" for locals is very much true. Very crowded during the weekend, however,...More

Overall we had a great time at this hotel. It was worth the money. The only problem was that their Wi-Fi never worked :( so we ended up using our own data. Other than that, the food and entertainment were great.More

Apologies for not returning your query sooner - we went with Luis A Torres Quiros who can - telephone contact is 506-8898-4260. Luis speaks excellent English, very lovely man - believe it cost us $80 American, but only took about an hour and a bit...make sure you tell your hotel you're not taking the shuttle.

Would anyone recommend renting a car during our stay? I would like to explore outside the resort, thoughts? Also, if we rent a car, can we park it at the hotel while we stay? Thank you in advance!

We had a entail car and parked it at the hotel. We drove all over Costa Rica (from the Liberia airport to Arenal, Arenal to Monteverde, Monteverde Manuel Antonio and Manuel Antonio to Tambor.) Tamarindo was our last stop and we didn't really need a car there. Taxis are everywhere and lots of tours you can join for day trips. If you want to break up your stay and go stay somewhere else for a few days yes, a car may be worth having then but perhaps not if you are only planning day trips out of Tamarindo.
