Great place away from everything. Quiet and clean. Staff was so helpful! The kitchen helped me save money by cooking myself! Wifi could be better but I didnt pick this place to stay online. I picked it for everything else it offered. I will visit again!

I stayed at Hotel Mahayana in early March of 2012 and it was much better then I expected. Many hotels in Tamarindo can be a lot of money for very little. I have stayed at many different hotels in Tamarindo and this time I needed something cheap that didn't feel cheap and Mahayana was perfect. I found it by chance... More

Stayed at Mahayana for 3 nights with a couple more friends. It is just about a 5 minute walk from all the good restaurants and the beach. The rooms are small but the amenities provided are well worth the money. The host Cecile is extremely friendly and is always trying her best to make the place comfortable for the visitors.... More

We stayed at Hotel Mahayana for over a month. Cecile, the owner was more than accommodating. She was like an older sister taking in us younger siblings. She anticipated our needs and met them with enthusiasm. The beds were incredible, the AC was perfect, and the water pressure was strong. The location was back from the road, so it wasn't... More

A quite little place that is just a 5 minute walk to the beach, grocery store and restaurants. I spent a week at this lovely, simple 6 room hostel. Room was cleaned every day, shower is amazing. Beds are the most comfortable I have had in a dozen plus trips to Tamarindo over the years. During my week stay many... More

Very clean, and Cecile was great! I had a hard time finding the place, but, when we called her, Cecile came on her bike to guide us. About a 5 minute walk from the beach, clean, and very nice staff. I would definitely stay again! Granted, it was a *hostel* with mostly students staying there, so it offered just the... More

I stayed at Hotel Mahayana for a week, it had exactly what I was looking for. New comfortable bed, AC, hot water, perfect internet, all in a safe quiet area close to the beach. The new owner Cecile is awesome and will make you feel safe and at home. You cant beat it at for the price! I will be... More

This Hotel is very clean and affordable. It has air conditioning and clean bathrooms. There is also a useful kitchen. The owner, Cécile, is very helpful. She took me on a tour of the town around the hotel to show my where the beach was, stores, good restaurants, bars, etc. She also has guides which you can borrow.

Hotel Mahayana was very clean and affordable. It is walking distance to the beach yet tucked away from the bustle of downtown Tamarindo. It is quiet at night and the beds are very comfortable. By far the best element of the hotel is the incredibly friendly Cecile who will recommend a favorite restaurant and make sure your stay is memorable.... More
