Super clean rooms, great breakfast and awesome hosts! This place is as advertised. Great location and easy walking distance to everything. We loved it and would book it again in a minute! If I had some room for improvement it would be a better shower head and that’s it.

The room is immaculate, the food is outrageously good worth the extra $ for breakfast. Hosts are over the moon accommodating and make sure to take some time to say hello to “Wyatt” my morning greeting was my most favorite part of the stay! Beyond perfection.

I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel! The reviews for this place are spot on. This is a hidden gem off the beaten path of the town. The location is perfect as it’s not in the center of town so it’s quiet at night yet within walking distance to the center of town (less than five minutes). The staff was extremely helpful and accommodating. Everyone was very friendly. The rooms were clean and very comfortable. I will definitely book this place again on my next trip to Tamarindo.

We really enjoyed our stay at In the Shade Hotel. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The pool is lovely, warm and relaxing. We only had breakfast there one day but it was very tasty and fresh. The room was comfortable. Excellent location, just a short walk to the beach and many great restaurants, coffee shops and stores. I would recommend staying here.

Well maintained rooms and common areas. All the staff were incredibly helpful and friendly and were great for recommending and organizing tours. We had the added bonus of staying on a Thursday where the social night is held. Maggie organised drinks and appetizers for the guests to share and meet before heading to the night market. This place will be my go to choice the next time we visit Tamarindo.

The staff was helpful on site. Prior to arrival, however, I had trouble getting in touch with anyone for updates on the shuttle service to the hotel until I called on whatsapp. Being that it was my first time in Costa Rica, not getting a response for months gave me some anxiety and a response just to say "we'll get back to you later" would have been appreciated. Shuttle service booked by the hotel is cash only, to be paid upon arrival. The room is basic. We appreciated the comfortable bed, sizeable refrigerator, and patio. We had issues with the showerhead upon arrival but fixed it ourselves. It needed to be cleaned so that the water could come out. We also had issues with our toilet getting stuck a few times during our stay, which we also fixed ourselves. We did not ask the staff for help. When we asked the staff for anything, they were extremely helpful. We had the breakfast once and it was okay. The hotel was fairly quiet for the most part, however, we had construction right next to our room which went on over the course of the day - so don't expect to sleep in. Luckily most of the people staying at the hotel were quiet, but I can see how it could get loud given the set up with rooms surrounding the common area/pool. Overall its a decent stay for the short time we were there but nothing to write home about.

We spent three nights in this amazing hotel. It’s a very comfortable place, the room was clean, the pool was fantastic, and the staff were welcoming and helpful. It’s also within walking distance of the town center and the sea, with a supermarket just across the street. We truly recommend this place
