Our specs: Couple from Norway/Sweden, social age: 30, no kids, enjoys places where something is happening, prefer beaches (not pools). We have just moved on after almost a week in Villas Macondo in Tamarindo Beach. The hotel has a good location, just off the beaten track. Walking distance to everything, 5 minutes to the beach. We had a cabina (1... more

My girlfriend and I stayed at Villas Macondo and we just loved it. It is such a great little place in the midst of the overbuilding of Tamarindo. Also it's a great place to meet other travelers. We got great idea for continuing on after Tamarindo just talking to the other people staying there. Add to that, the staff is... more

We stayed at Villas Macondo recently. The villas are pretty and very good value. Tamarindo itself is a disaster area. The noise from all the building commences at 6.00am which is, for some reason the highest level during the day. Builders shouting at each other with trucks and machines being revved at maximum. Using concrete cutting saws seems to be... more

My three day stay at Villas Macondo exceeded expectations. Earlier reviews mentioned the construction noise which was fortunately not at all present during the Christmas season. But, there is construction going on everywhere in Tamarindo. Additionally, the roads are not paved so bring foot wear that can be washed off daily. In December and at the end of the rainy... more

The villa we stayed in, which was a double room was attached to one other room, but we did not hear noise. As an added bonus, our room had a fridge &... more

Had stayed for a month in Tamarindo, while studying Spanish at Wayra. During this time, I had a wonderful flat at Montebello, and got a good price for staying so long. However, Montebello was far away from the city center (doesn't look far on the map, but it was) and every time going back home after 6 pm, I had... more

Villas Macondo and the people there are awesome. I just came back this August with two of my best friends, and the people at Villas Macondo were so awesome. Tom, the owner and manager, is always there to help and the two bedroom apartment I stayed at had great air conditioning, kitchen, rooms, patio, and was cleaned all the time.... more

I have stayed here twice in the past 2 years and both times were amazing. Great rooms with great service. I hope to visit again soon. more

I chose the hotel as it was recommended by Lonely Planet as a 'splurge'. As I arrived at the hotel I was greeted by the site of a new apartment block being built bang next door to the hotel. I could hear the noise as soon as I stepped out of the taxi. You would have needed earplugs to sunbathe... more
