We had a great time relaxing here and decided to stay for 4 nights! We spent …

Lite anti-skita-ner-sig-piller, ett par lokala bussar och 3h fran Samara och jag ar framme vid Tamarindo, ett stalle som ar mest kant for att det ar totalt nedlusat av Amerikanska charterturister, darav smeknamnet "TamaGringo". 85% av alla restauranger, barer och butiker ska tydligen agas av gringos, och framsta fokus for de flesta turister som …

Tamagringo for all the expats living there

A travel blog entry by joandmike

We crossed successfully on foot between Nicaragua and Costa Rica - I was so proud of us!! We managed not to get fleeced either as lots of locals try to make you pay any number of imaginary taxes. Fair play as they are only trying to make a bit of money, but we didn't succumb! From the border we only had a 10 minute wait before we jumped on a bus to …

A travel blog entry by puravida_ambar

Tamarindo was quite the distance from San Jose, but while you're abroad and travelling, nothing is ever too far to go to. The bus ride from San Jose was a good six hours. Friday after volunteering we caught the only bus out at around 330pm, which Mackenzie and I almost missed. So we arrived in Tamarindo Backpackers Hostel, and as soon as we entered …

Lovely hostel, good facilities but don't go in wet season

The facilities were excellent, it was a little out of town but easy to walk to. However our first room attracted so many bugs, it was mosquito season and other bugs were loving the wood frames round the windows so we had to move rooms as I wouldn't have slept a wink. Our second room was pretty much bug free.
