We stayed here first for one week, checked out and visited some other areas, and then came back and stayed for another two weeks. It is a perfect low key place to hang out that actually feels authentic while staying in Tamarindo. The hammocks on the individual patios are amazing, and the computers, library, and communal kitchen were very nice.... More

My husband and I stayed in one of their apartments for 4 nights earlier this month. The apartment set-up was perfect - 2 floors, full kitchen and big fridge, futon for sitting downstairs, queen bed upstairs and good-sized bathroom with shower (albeit sans curtain which made a big mess). And in the center of the complex is a fantastic pool!... More

This is a great place to stay in Tamarindo. The hotel itself consists of small cabinas which are basic but at the same time pleasantly designed: they are airy, colorful and don't have the crazy decorations that are sometimes favourited by the costa rican hotel owners :) Each place has a small veranda with a hammock where you can enjoy...

I chose Villas Macondo for 3 nights, reserved it over internet and highly appreciated the cozy atmosphere, the small but well kept swimming pool and the easy going relaxed management. I went alone and met nice people, we ended up sharing often dinners and talks around the pool, it was the first time that I found such an atmosphere during... More

My girlfriend and I were so overly impressed with Villas Macondo and the staff there were extended our stay from the planned 6 days to the full 2 weeks of our vacation. The staff gave us places to drive to for day trips (including tico beaches), helped us with finding local places to eat and numerous other things that were... More

I recently stayed in the room with a fan for 3 nights and I was happy with my choice. There is a kitchen; internet and a pool for all the guests to use. The hotel is close to the beach, supermarket, ATM and different restaurants. The staff is very helpful and the place is really clean. I will definitely stay... More

stayed for 2 nights in a basic room and were very impressed. Our neighboring tenant said he had stayed at the hotel for 6 months & we could understand why. A few guests were using the hotel as a base to look for property nearby. With EMS services, a small supermarket & a food court within 150 metres, it's a... More

We stayed here for one night rather than driving back & forth to our all-inclusive on the Gulf of Papagayo. The reviews are spot on - this is a great place to stay. I set up our reservation ahead of time and the staff was responsive via email and great to work with. Our room was nicer than what we... More

We stayed for 4 nights, especially the own 2-floor apartment was excellent, the twin room was rather basic and had some problems with insects though. The swimming pool area was great, staff really nice and location good as well. You could hear noise to the rooms from the disco across the street, which lowered our points on sleep quality. Anyways,... More
