Federico made the stay incredible. There were several occasions where he went out of his way to make sure we had everything we needed to ensure an awesome trip. The hotel surrounds a nice courtyard with a pool and great landscaping. The beach is super close and we had a small grocery within sight which added to the convenience. I... More

Stayed in Tdo for a night and had to get away from the party vibe of the city and get some better and less crowded surf. My boyfriend and I found Sunset Inn online and booked a couple of nights. (FYI it's ~20$ cheaper to pay the owner directly and not book online. Call ahead.) The first room we stayed... More

We ignored the bad revues and took a chance on the Sunset Inn...bad idea. Luckily we did not prepay the entire month of our dream vacation to Costa Rica. When we first arrived we noticed that the window in our bathroom was missing. Not broken or under repair....just gone. Federico assured us that it would be fixed by tomorrow the... More

Great place to stay. Federico treats you like family and the location is great. Excellent place to stay for a surf trip as you're close to Playa Negra, Playa Grande, Avellanas (sp?) etc. Internet was very reliable which was nice since I had to do some work while down there. Would definitely recommend.

Sunset Inn is a peaceful and small resort. It has spacious, clean rooms equipped with wifi, and there is a pool for everyone to enjoy. It is also just a short walk to a nearby grocery store and the beach. The staff is warm and cares deeply about the satisfaction and pleasantness of the experience for everyone who visits the... More

Just enjoyed Christmas week 2010 at Playa Langosta, Tamarindo, and staying at Sunset Inn. Federico runs a uniquely special almost self-run 'Hotel' at Sunset Inn - I say 'Hotel' because, really it is a small building of individual apartments, all looking out over the pool, and just steps from the beach, it runs itself so smoothly and feels like a...

The room descriptions are a lie! Only 2 out of the 6 units are as described! Our room smelled of humidity and mold, had a non-working shower head, and did NOT have a kitchen. I was completely disappointed! The whole place needs some serious TLC!

My name is Daryn, my friends and I have stayed at Sunset Inn a few times. Federico and his staff are very hospitable and welcoming. They took care of your every need. We stayed there because of the close proximity to the Langosta river mouth. Its a beautiful beach with the most amazing sunsets and good waves for surfing. If... More
