In the Shade Hotel - Coworking - 300Mbit - Adults Only

I will say this, the property photos really help it shine! It is a very simple space, but I would stay there again. The room smelled fresh and clean and was nice and cool when we arrived. But the rooms are basic, think dorm style. However, what it lacks in luxury, it makes up for in service, location, safety, and food. There are about 16 rooms total so it is very quiet and intimate. I got to know a lot of the guests and the staff got to know us. The food was delicious! Maggie and Sandra were extremely helpful with arranging transportation and excursions even from home. They helped us plan a spa day at Sibou, kind of nearby and it was the best spa experience I have ever had. The beach is a 7 minute walk and within a 5-10 minute walk, there are tons of shops and restaurants. Tamarindo is very touristy, so if you are looking for spots that locals run, this is not that place. But this hotel is a perfect place to access what Tamarindo has to offer as well as take taxis to other locations and excursions. Breakfast was delicious every day and very reasonable. Book here if you mainly want a cozy spot to hang outside by the pool and to serve as a landing spot between adventures. I feel like I unlocked a new way of traveling outside of the big fancy hotels and all-inclusive resorts and I like it! Simple can be super beautiful and fun!

Great stay - cafe food on site was excellent, staff was amazing and helpful on everything.

Highly recommend and would claim this as my go to! Fantastic space, extremely helpful staff, pool was cool and the beer was always cold. 7 minute walk to the beach, could not ask for a better stay.

We highly recommend In The Shade Hotel. The place is very convenient, with all the rooms surrounding the pool. Very clean. It is well located, easily walkable to the beach. Sandra and Maddie made great recommendations for our stay. Breakfast is fantastic, served with friendly staff.

The best part about this place was how quiet it was. Lovely to sit by the pool and not hear anyone else. Location was tucked back off of a main intersection so it was very close to anything you might want, and walking to the beach was quick as well. The only thing I would wish for is at least one or two other vegan options for breakfast, but the açai bowl was delicious.

This was our second time staying here, we love the location and staff are very attentive
