Great place to stay on the Beach! Barry and Suzye were like staying with family. They make you feel so welcome and comfortable. It was like staying with relatives. The breakfast was great and they are a wealth of information. Everything is in walking distance but they also have bikes available if you would rather ride. They set up tours... More

I have stayed at Villa Alegre 5-6 times now over the past 10 years. I have introduced many friends and family members to this wonderful spot. I have sampled many B&B's, hotels and alternative lodging places in the greater Tamarindo area and always find my way back to Villa Alegre.Read all the reviews and you get a great idea of... More

Nice bed and breakfast. Close to shopping and beach. Breakfast was wonderful. The hosts were very nice and made you feel at home.

We spent 4 nights at Villa Alegre and loved it. The hosts, Barry and Suzye, were friendly and warm and immediately made us feel welcome and comfortable. The location is ideal - within a 5 minute walk of great restaurants but a 15 minute walk from the town of Tamarindo which means the B&B is blissfully quiet. Barry recommended all... More

We loved our time at Villa Alegre. Beautiful grounds, helpful hosts, and wonderful food. We stayed in the Japan Villa. Comfy but cozy for 5 adults. Air conditioning was a little weak and it was hot when we were there. Howler monkeys visited everyday as did the iguanas. We enjoyed visiting with Barry and Suzye...they were helpful and friendly but... More

My husband and I originally booked one of the hotels in the town of Tamarindo, that lasted one evening before we were looking for other options. Coming from the La Fortuna area with an amazing stay at El Silencio, Tamarindo was not what we expected. We found it to be similar to a place you would find near the southern... More

We had four couples at the B & B on the beach. There are only 7 rooms (4 in the main house and three detached) so it felt like it was our home, There were monkeys in the trees every morning and evening (Which is not always the case we have been told). They have beer and soft drinks available... More

Staying at Villa Alegre was like visiting your favorite aunt and uncle. Barry was very communicative pre-arrival and the service only got better from there. Barry and Suzye both made it very comfortable. I stayed in the California casita - small but certainly adequate for me and the room makes good use of the space, with shelving and the mini-fridge,...

Our first trip to Costa Rica. Great spot on the water with a wonderful pool and grounds to escape the sun and wind. The Japanese room is amazing. It is a large apartment with kitchen and very private (although wireless doesn't make it to this room). Barry and Suzye go out of their way to accomodate ANY request. The breakfast... More
