Best Hostel in Tamarindo! Why rent a room when you can have an apartment?

Most recent review

Pura Vida ... The staff was extremely friendly. They even cut me a deal when I didn't make my return flight home. The private rooms were very nice. It's a little further away than the other spots, but this one seemed to have better upkeep.

How to get there

The Chocolate Hotel, 200 Meters East of Pasatiempo, Guanacaste, Tamarindo, Costa Rica, 5159

We are located 200 meters (a 10 minute walk) from the main beach, commercial centers, restaurants and bars.

From the airport in Liberia, you can take a public bus or taxi which will get you here in about an hour. Taxis cost around $35.

From the airport in Tamarindo take a taxi which should cost around US $5

If coming from San Jose, the Alfaro bus company offers daily service from San José to Playa Tamarindo at 3:30 p. m. for approximately US $8. 00. The Alfaro bus station is at Barrio Coca Cola, on calle 14, between avenida 3-5.

The bus ride to Tamarindo makes several stops and takes approximately 7 hours. As this is a public service, reservations are not available and you must purchase your ticket personally as early as possible. If you decide to use this service please keep your belongings close to you and in your sight at all times as this is not the safest way to travel. We highly recommend using a private bus company especially for novice travelers. Private bus companies have nicer vehicles, hold less people, are equipped with air conditioning and take about 5 hours to get to Tamarindo. This is a much safer and more comfortable way to get here. Please contact us via phone or email for more information or if you would like us to make you a reservation. The private bus cost around US $35 per person and departs near the San Jose airport. Free shuttles will take you from the airport to the private bus pickup point. Make sure that you change money when you arrive but use the station after customs and not before because the exchange rates are different.

We are located 200 meters (a 10 minute walk) from the main beach, commercial centers, restaurants and bars.

Upon arrival, inquire at reception about discounts for local tours, rentals and restaurants.
