My husband and I stumbled onto this place after traveling all over Costa Rica for 10 days and and it was, by far, the most wonderful hotel in the Country and the best place we stayed at during our trip (and we stayed in a few places at $300 a night). The family that owns this beautiful and well maintained boutique hotel is amazing! They make you feel welcome, comfortable and like you're part of their family. The hospitality was fantastic! It was the first place we stayed at in our trip where we didn't want to leave. Anytime I'm in Costa Rica I will make it back to Tamarindo to stay at Hotel Luamey. It is perfect for couples, families, friends, or even if you're traveling solo. It's where luxury meets tranquility, hospitality overlaps with comfort, and cleanliness is perfected with style and class. I travel often all over the globe and I never feel compelled to write reviews on Tripadvisor however, this hotel deserves a rave review. If you go to Tamarindo, stay at Hotel Luamey, it's the best!

Room tip: All the rooms are gorgeous and they smell fantastic. If you need to accommodate more than three people, than choose an upstairs room.

I was traveling CR for nearly 2 weeks with a good friend of mine and he was in charge of the accommodations. As I tend to need to control situations, I had to learn to let go and allow the pieces fall as they may, or in this case, allow Scott, a guy, select my hotels (surely most women are cringing right now at the thought! lol).
Much to my surprise he turns out to have great instinct for excellent hotels and had booked a night's stay at Hotel Luamey for the Tamarindo leg of our trip. I must say, it's a beautifully manicured property, coupled by distinct taste in furnishings, down to the scent of the rooms (which might I add, was to DIE for!). The owners were friendly and helpful even after our many many questions about the town, and went out of their way to help us with the transportation challenges of traveling between towns.
We loved the hotel so much we extended our stay for another night as I just couldn't peel myself away from that enormous comfy bed! Luamey serves daily breakfast in a few different varieties, such as the local Costa Rican bfast (rice, beans, eggs fruits) to the classic American (egg, bacon, bread, fruit), both equally savory. And, if I'm not mistaken, have started serving lunch as well.
The location is also very nice being only a couple of blocks to the beach and only one to the center of town - you can literally walk anywhere from Luamey. I very much enjoyed my stay there and would definitely recommend it for any type of traveler. Thanks Luamey for a great stay and much needed R&R :)

Room tip: I got a chance to tour the entire hotel, including the rooms being renovated and the family quarters Luamey offers. I loved my room because it had a big bed, the outside patio was very nice and comfortable, and the view of the pool was pretty. Any room you choose will be great it just depends what you're looking for out of your stay.

Priscila and I were planning to stay at the Luamey for one night as we traveled around the coast but honestly, we enjoyed our time there so much that we ended up booking for a second night. Whenever you're on vacation, your room is your home. Your place to decompress and relax. The Luamey was utterly relaxing throughout our stay and a perfect home to come back to at the end of the day

Luis and Myriam, the owners, were absolutely gracious, warm, and helpful throughout our stay, giving us tips on what to do, where to eat, and even letting me use the phone to make calls since I had lost my cell two days prior. Great, great people. The entire staff is super relaxed and super friendly, smiling whenever you meet.

As for the room, it could not have been more perfect. Stylish and beautiful tropical decor, the bed was incredibly comfortable, and we both slept like babies. Everything is spotless and the maid made the room look brand new all over again on our second day; always a plus in my book.. Fresh flowers on the bed and in the bathroom, handpicked from the lush grounds. The private patios are well-appointed and comfortable; I spent a good bit of time on ours lounging and working.

A small bonus note: the room smelled utterly amazing when we first walked in. Not like cleaning agents at all, but like some very mild (not at all overpowering) fragrance that I can't even possibly describe. Entirely pleasing to the senses.

Took a dip in the pristine pool while we were there and it was super, super relaxing.

The power went out briefly (as it is prone to do throughout Costa Rica) and before I even got off of the patio, Luis was walking over to me with battery powered lights for both inside and outside our room

he location couldn't have been more perfect, either, right in the center of town but off the main thoroughfare a little bit so you aren't overwhelmed with crowds. It's a two-minute walk at most into town with the beach just beyond that.

If any of my friends or family were to ask me where to stay in Tamarindo, I wouldn't hesitate to tell them the Luamey. And for the price, it's entirely worth it.

Room tip: The ground floor rooms are awesome as you'll have a little walkway straight to the rest of the hotel, with the pool just in front of you.

Very nice hotel in the hearth of Tamarindo. Traveled with my family and had an unforgettable time in a very comfortable Cabaña suite.
Nice Colonial design, with very warm people and an excellent service.

Room tip: I recommend the Cabaña suite!
