Rooms are without office and you may have to wait for a code.. we were lucky to have help from some regular guests that were familiar with the process. Door was hard to open and rooms are very small. Wifi dont work in the rooms just in the common area. A step up from a hostel. ##### Guylaine Stayed 1 night in Jan 2026 ### 2/10 Terrible #### lara silvia 8 Jan 2026 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities bad room ##### lara silvia Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### MARCOS 9 Dec 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Surf Ranch Tamarindo was an amazing experience. The attention from the ladies who take care of the cleaning and breakfast is truly unique — their dedication and willingness to help with anything you need is surprising in the best way, something you don’t see very often. The manager was also very kind, and the explanation of the check-in process was clear and perfect. Breakfast time is so friendly and cozy that it feels less like a hotel and more like staying in a family home. The location is perfect, right in front of the ocean. Tamarindo is already beautiful, but this place makes it even more special. ##### MARCOS Stayed 1 night in Nov 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Razvan 14 Dec 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Rooom was ok, fridge no tv. Staff was ok. Communication before checkin was poor. Many guests did not receive room and door codes before arriving. After you manage to get in your room things are ok. Breakfast is the same every morning. ##### Razvan Stayed 11 nights in Nov 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Nai 17 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Its a great place to stay close to the beach. ##### Nai Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Terrapin Lina 6 Dec 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities It was a great stay overall! While it isn’t necessarily oceanfront, it’s across the street from the beach! Very convenient location at the beginning of the strip in Tamarindo. It’s a laidback simple living type of vibe and the breakfast is great and filling. Be sure to read the “check in” email because otherwise it will be confusing as it is a self check in system but there are also people at the hotel who will gladly help you out if you have any questions! I like that it’s not smack in the middle of everything because weekends especially get louder and busy so we aren’t merged into all that but it is surrounded by shops hotels restaurants markets etc… it’s a short 9 min walk to the main hub of beachfront restaurants and gift shops of tamarindo beach so very easy to get around and learn the streets. The staff are sweet and I would stay there again. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/9dfb4efa-284e-43c6-acfa-60b453e2d65c-1765045929333.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/aaa18fed-f312-4e75-b708-74f636aaaeda-1765045950054.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/47195cff-b7e7-43e1-b3a6-48206434010a-1765045915339.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Terrapin Lina Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Pete 25 Dec 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This place was so bad when we arrived just after midnight I had to spend the next 2 hours dealing with Expedia trying to get someone to fix our room. One of the beds had blood stains and other stains on the sheets. There was black mold coming from around the ceiling light and the shower tile was all busted up in the shower. There was no baseboard and there were huge cracks between the wall and floor. There was a cockroach in the room and it smelled like mold. I sent a message via WhatsApp to person overseeing the property and they responded way late. There was supposed to be an included breakfast in the mornings so I walked down to talk with that person to try and resolve the issue. No one was there. I recontacted Expedia and they were not able to get a hold of anyone from the property. Luckily I was able to book somewhere right in that area that was much better for me and my family. Stay away. This place has lots of potential but looks like the owners have let it turn into an absolute dump. ![Black mold from ceiling](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/e2d6aa22-c0db-41d7-8430-e0f0b65b7999-1766625859113.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Blood stains on sheets](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/1c44589f-2ef4-496d-8e24-8990787aa31e-1766625859533.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![More stains](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/38726310-0e04-4241-8ed1-885bb66778e6-1766625859497.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Broken tiles in shower](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/8b3f69cf-5da8-4479-bf68-3d2fb00892f5-1766625859277.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Pete Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dinh 13 Aug 2024 Liked: Amenities Great stay ##### Dinh Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Susan 14 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The convenience to restaurants and shopping and the beach. All within an easy walk. ##### Susan Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Jeremy 17 Oct 2025 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities This place is what it is - a cheap convenient place in Tamarindo right across from the Beach. I had to last minute book this place because my plans changed. Got to my room and the water pressure was 1/10 and not hot. I sat in the room for about an hour to cool off from the day and tried the shower again and still nothing. The room itself is basic, one bedsheet had a big stain. I ended up just leaving and not staying there. I decided I would rather drive back to Liberia and get a real hotel room before my flight the next day than stay here. What's good about this place? The location is good, the common areas inside seemed pretty good - seemed quiet. Overall a very 5/10 place. I was there during the peak of rainy season and the "off season" so maybe quality and service is better when it's much busier. ##### Jeremy Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brad 4 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Great Surfing ##### Brad Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Noah 24 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Good location but pretty pricey for what you are getting.

The rooms are new, clean, and safe. Staff are all gone by 3pm every day. ##### Jeremy Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Simon-james 26 Mar 2025 Liked: Staff & service, amenities location is great, breakfast is simple but good. don’t take room 9(double double bed), it’s to close from the road and has bad isolation.also not a real outside window, Chilling spot to small Room was cleaned every day👌 Good place to be if you only plan about sleeping at the hotel ##### Simon-james Stayed 5 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sharla 15 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Staff was really friendly.

If other visitors that were staying on the hotel didn’t help me, I could easily sleep on my car the first night. The other visitors gave me the number of the administration and by WhatsApp I received the check in instructions. I didn’t receive any mail with the passwords of the self check in. Also the amount of breakfast was too little, and with only one egg. ##### Juan Jose Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### heather 10 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Basic property but has everything you need including blow dryer and mini refrigerator also close to everything and right across from the beach. ##### heather Stayed 1 night in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jenni 29 Sept 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities What a cute and cozy hotel across from the beach.

Really appreciated all the detail. It was pretty much how it looked on the pictures and you couldn’t beat the location. Literally across the street from the beach. ##### Dallas Stayed 1 night in Dec 2021 ### 6/10 Okay #### Michael 4 Mar 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Amenities While certainly acceptable, there are too mnay options in Tamarindo to make this anthing other than amongst yoir last choices. ##### Michael Stayed 1 night in Feb 2020 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Villa Lapas Jungle Village](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jaco-Hotels-Villa-Lapas-Jungle-Village.h1330482.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Heliconias Nature Inn & Hot Springs](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Penas-Blancas-Hotels-Heliconias-Nature-Lodge.h8386216.Hotel-Information) > > [El Remanso Rainforest Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Puerto-Jimenez-Hotels-El-Remanso-Lodge.h11640675.Hotel-Information) > > [All-Inclusive Hotels in French Alps](https://www.expedia.co.uk/French-Alps-Hotels-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d3000655051-tAllInclusiveHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [All-Inclusive Hotels in Egypt](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Egypt-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d52-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Makanda by the Sea](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Quepos-Hotels-Makanda-By-The-Sea.h2328562.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near El Camison Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/El-Camison-Beach-Hotels.0-l553248621594534883-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Koora Hotel by Sandglass](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monteverde-Hotels-Hotel-Aguti-Lodge-Reserve.h33594530.Hotel-Information) > > [Ascot House Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Harrogate-Hotels-Ascot-House-Hotel.h384722.Hotel-Information) > > [Arenal Observatory Lodge & Trails](https://www.expedia.co.uk/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Arenal-Observatory-Lodge-Spa.h11820519.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Magic Mountain SPA & Conference center](https://www.expedia.co.uk/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Hotel-Magic-Mountain-SPA-Conference-Center.h1636277.Hotel-Information) > > [Cloud Forest Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monteverde-Hotels-Monteverde-Cloud-Forest-Lodge.h2050850.Hotel-Information) > > [Casa Luna Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Casa-Luna-Hotel-Spa.h2305532.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Belmar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monteverde-Hotels-Hotel-Belmar.h37178213.Hotel-Information) > > [Occidental Tamarindo - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tamarindo-Hotels-Occidental-Tamarindo-All-Inclusive.h793778.Hotel-Information) > > [Azura Beach Resort - All Inclusive - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Samara-Hotels-Azura-Beach-Resort-All-Inclusive-Adults-Only.h20586535.Hotel-Information) > > [Ennios Boutique Hotel Rooms](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Southampton-Hotels-Ennios-Boutique-Hotel-Rooms.h11900100.Hotel-Information) > > [The Corner London City](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Qbic-Hotel-London-City.h6706032.Hotel-Information) > > [Poas Volcano Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Vara-Blanca-Hotels-Poas-Volcano-Lodge.h5259118.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Paisley (GLA) to Orlando (MCO)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/gla/mco/glasgow-to-orlando) > > [Oman Air](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oman-Air-Flights.cWY.Travel-Guide-Airlines) ### Packages > [Old Harry Rocks](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Old-Harry-Rocks-Swanage.d553248621555874975.Attraction) ### Holiday Rentals ### General ---
