We recently stayed at this condo in March of 2016. We've stayed in Tamarindo previously, but this was my daughter's first trip at age 9. Tamarindo is quite touristy but the simplicity of the beach and laid back atmosphere is lovely. Having 2 bedrooms and a kitchen is always helpful for us. Our daughter can have her own room, and we can prepare breakfast and simple meals if we didn't feel like going out. The condo was very clean but very simply furnished. Upon arrival, the downstairs air conditioning did not work, it is a portable unit that was discharging out an open window. Since the window couldn't be closed, it was useless. I can't imagine how anyone thought this method was actually going to cool the condo. We notified the management the next day, walking the mile or so into town, and while Chad and Aura were extremely nice and kind, the unit was not actually repaired until 2.5 days later. The temperature was 95F degrees so this was disappointing. They made a kind gesture and did a mid-week cleaning of the unit. The large window facing the pool does not have any curtains or coverings, which was strange. The pool area is very, very small. There are probably 3 lounge chairs, and a nicer gazebo with a single table and 4 chairs. This is not the place to enjoy an afternoon by the pool. Because of the condo layout, the noise level can be anything...we had quiet nights and some very loud nights with drunken college students on balconies and poolside, which did not faze the security guards in the least. The location is good, it's a short walk to the beach and town, but far enough away from the noise of the main street. Aura did a great job of setting up our transportation and tours, all of our day trips were great. If I came back to Tamarindo, I probably wouldn't stay here again.
