I thought this was a really nice hotel. I'm surprised that there are such mixed reviews - when I stayed here with my boyfriend we thought it was good value for money, clean and in a nice part of Tamarindo. Everywhere in Tamarindo is more expensive than the rest of Costa Rica because of the distance to get there and... more

We stayed in Hotel Nahua for two nights and thought it was a great place for the price. Tamarindo is a small town and the hotel is at walking distance of everything. The rooms were cleaned and we even had a mini-fridge inside. All workers were friendly and helpuful. GREAT PLACE for GREAT PRICE! more

We arrived at Nahua late at night to be greeted by friendly and hospitable Alejandro. Got a double apt-style room with A/C and full kitchen for 3 ppl ($60US a night). Both our bathroom and room were nice and were cleaned every day. Hotel staff are very helpful and will help you book any day excursions (turtle nesting, surfing, zip... more

I stumbled upon this place ended up staying for over a month. Not a party hotel but close to everything, surf, rest, bars. Owners are very nice people. Piercy is the most knowledgeable surfer in tamarindo and will help you get to sick breaks. Night security is 3 awesome dogs. Never locked my door and had no issues with anything... more

We found this place by chance and stayed two nights more than we originally planned. The location is not far from the beach, shops and restaurants, the staff is friendly and helpful, and the accommodation surprisingly good for the rate they asked. Comfortable beds, (no bedbugs as somebody complained and probably confused with the evening beach sandflies?), nice garden, pleasant... more

I read the previous last two comments and have to disagree. I thought the place was tidy and well kept. The owner and manager were very pleasant and helpful. I had a good time there and plan on going back very soon. I must say I am confused on the bed bug issue. I did not have that experience during... more

I stayed here for 2 weeks, kept waking up with strange bumps all over my body, fealt things crawling on me at night. The last day I was there I spoke with a person who had stayed at Nahua before and said there are bed bugs in the rooms. he explained the bumps he got while staying there and they... more

Bad management, dishonest owner Bed bugs...for same price you will find way better deals on the same street when you get in tamarindo. more

The plan for our first trip to Costa Rica was to find a beach town and hang out for 4 or 5 days. Hotel Nahua in Tamarindo proved to be the right choice for us. Everything you need (beach, restaurants, shops, markets) is a short walk away. The staff was helpful and informative about what to do in the area.... more
