We stayed here for one night rather than driving back & forth to our all-inclusive on the Gulf of Papagayo. The reviews are spot on - this is a great place to stay. I set up our reservation ahead of time and the staff was responsive via email and great to work with. Our room was nicer than what we... More

We stayed for 4 nights, especially the own 2-floor apartment was excellent, the twin room was rather basic and had some problems with insects though. The swimming pool area was great, staff really nice and location good as well. You could hear noise to the rooms from the disco across the street, which lowered our points on sleep quality. Anyways,... More

This place was a fantastic start to our 2 week honeymoon. Monique greeted us warmly and helped offer reccomendations for our vacation. The grounds at Villas Macondo are beautifully landscaped, the rooms are safe, and the private hammocs are great after a long day at the beach. We enjoyed the shared kitchen and private table on our porch. The free... More

If you are looking for a quiet, safe, clean, and inexpensive place in the center of Tamarindo, you probably can't do any better than the Villas Macondo. The rooms are small and basic, but they have what you need, a comfy bed, a safe, a fridge, a TV, free WiFi a fan and AC if you care to pay a... More

We can't speak highly enough of this place for the price we paid ($45 per night without aircon). It's a perfect location about 50 metres off the main street and right next to a supermarket (which you'll need as they don't do breakfast). All three of the receptionists were among the most helpful people we met in Costa Rica, recommending... More

We had only planned to stay a night or two and then work our way down the coast but ended up spending 10 nights there! Monique who works the front desk was so helpful - from sending us to the best place to rent boards, best restaurants, estuary tours, to maps and directions how to get back to the airport... More

Awesome, friendly staff who are very knowledgeable and helpful. Secured gated parking. Community kitchen fully equipped- huge bonus to save on food cost and the store is right next door. Less than 2 blocks from the beach. Free Internet with 2 computers to use and a book exchange. Just far enough away from the bustle. Cute duplex cottages w/private hammock.... More

Yes, it is that good. Great rates, compared to what I have seen nearby. Nicely done. Good people. Nice pool. Shared kitchen, wifi free of charge, nice location near but not noisy. Not on the beach, but so very close. And not a towering place that ruins everything around it. Tamarindo has grown in some less than lovely ways, but... More

We stayed at Villas Macondo a couple of weeks ago and we found it the best price/quality relationship of our whole trip. We payed $38 for a room with private bathrooom. It was very clean and nice. The Villas are close to the beach, they have a solar heated pool and the guy working there was really nice and helpful.... More

We stayed in this hotel 2 weeks and would go back anytime as we had a great time there. We stayed in an apartment and in one of the rooms later. The kitchen in the apartment was really well equipped. The apartment had 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a living room and an open kitchen and a veranda with a table... More
