When we arrived on the dirt road that led to Tamarindo Yam, we were a little nervous...UNTIL we reached the hotel where we came to a secure, gated entrance and greated at almost midnight with a smile! We were shown to our room and even more pleasantly surprised that it was basically an apartment. It's just a couple of minutes... More

I went to Tamarindo, Costa Rica in December 2010 and we stayed at this hotel. We loved it SO much that we came back in December 2011. As expected, we had an amazing stay at the hotel. They added a huge new garden and which had banana trees and was delightful. They also had made the pool area much bigger... More

This little gem tucked away just a few yards from the main drag is the perfect place for couples or families to spend their time in Tamarindo. Away from the noise but close enough to walk to all the main attractions. The apartments are spacious, comfortable and clean and the full size kitchen is a pleasure to cook in (we... More

A short but sweet review: clean, safe, comfortable, friendly, convenient, accommodating, close to amenities but away from the crowds. Sound perfect? It is. The Tamarindo Yam is where I will stay each and every time in Tamarindo. The property is wonderfully appointed (fabulous pool, by the way), but makes this place a winner are the staff. It's nice to feel... More

The Tamarindo Yam is a quiet, small and cozy hotel. The rooms are nice with teak wood and updated appliances. The AC is cold and is always welcomed at the end of a busy day. The grounds are very well kept and the pool is small but nice and clean. I like that the hotel is off the beaten path... More

A pleasant and comfortable place to be in Tamarindo. We liked that it is quiet, five minutes from the beach, and away from the busier parts of town. (But not so far away that you can't walk there in about 10 minutes). The staff is also very friendly and helpful: Thanks to Alexi for getting on your bike at 4:00... More

We enjoyed our stay at Tamarindo Yam so much last year that we stayed again in December 2011. We had a fantastic stay again. We loved the expanded pool area! It was nice to have more room to lounge and to sit at the tables with umbrellas for shade. The garden area is pretty and further enhances the peaceful stay.... More
