Tamarindo Backpackers

Playa Tamarindo


This attractive yellow hacienda has a great vibe that welcomes all comers. Private rooms (mostly with shared bathroom) are excellent value, with Spanish-tiled floors, mural-painted walls, beamed ceilings and TVs. The dorms are quite clean but otherwise unspectacular. Outside, hammocks are strung in the tropical gardens and around a small pool. It's a five-minute walk to the beach.

Just uphill from the Mini Pura Vida Hostel (not the Pura Vida Hostel!)
