Barcelo Playa Langosta Resort And Casino: If you're looking for the best Barcelo Langosta Beach Review

We stayed here for 1/2 our tip in Tamarindo. Its actually in an area called Langosta but thats only a 2 minute car ride, 5 minute bike ride, or 10 minute walk from the center of the Tamarindo strip. This place is the second nicest in the area (next to Hotel Diria) but has way more ammenities then any other place around. They also have the best pool area in my opinion for the area. They have tennis courts, archery, a gym, a casino, tour guides on-site, and several bars.

We payed around 125/night during the green season for all inclusive. This includes three all you can eat meals a day and all the beer/mix drinks you can handle all day long. The rooms also come with a 2 hour kayak tour of the area.

Unique Qualities: The pool area is superior to any other hotel around the area. The rooms and bathrooms are extremely nice. Each room comes with a fridge, AC, cable, and in room safe.

Address: Playa Langosta, , Tamarindo

Comparison: more expensive than average

Price: US$120-180

Hotel Flores: Great little hotel in Tamarindo Hotel Flores Review

I have nothing but good to say about this place. I reading reviews of various hotels online I decided on this place because of the great price and good quality. They only have about 6-8 room in the complex. Most of them are small 1-bedroom apartments which are great for only $65 a night. No matter what you get they all have AC, cable, and nice looking bathrooms. The apartments come with a fridge and stove. There is even an onsite laundry room.

The only bad thing I could say about this place is that they don't provide clocks so make sure you bring one. You'll need an alarm to wake up early for tours and scuba diving. Hotel Flores doesn't look like much from outside but once inside the walls the complex is actually really nice looking and so are the rooms.

Unique Qualities: The place has a cool looking pool in the middle of all the units. There are also sun chairs out so you can get a tan. Tamarindo isn't very big and this hotel is right next to the main strip. Its so new most people don't know where it is but just tell them its across the street from Hotel Passatiempo.

Comparison: about average

Directions: Across the street from Hotel Passatiempo (make sure you remember this!)

Price: US$40-80
