Wyndham, Tamarindo
Hilltop retreat offering an infinity pool, exclusive beach club access, and an oceanfront restaurant with sunset views
The room was big and the beds very comfortable. Loved the pool and swim up bar.
This hotel was awesome! We loved that we were in a secluded place with incredible views but also had access to downtown and the beach club... Read more
Overview
Kimkim's Take
- You'll have a fantastic beach view from the hotel's hillside location.
- Enjoy sunset views from the infinity pool or restaurant.
- Your stay includes access to a private beach club.
- The rooms are spacious and can accommodate additional beds for larger groups.
- It's not hard to appreciate the hotel's tropical gardens, infinity pool, and swim-up bar.
- The hotel is a bit remote, requiring a shuttle or cab ride to access town amenities. However, this ensures a peaceful stay away from the hustle and bustle.
- The hotel has over 100 rooms, which may result in a busy atmosphere during peak seasons.
Authenticity
Wyndham Tamarindo is a modern tropical hotel that was recently renovated in 2019. The design uses natural materials like wood and stone to create a warm and inviting atmosphere. The hotel is filled with natural light and accented with greenery and water features, offering a contemporary and upscale vibe. However, it lacks a significant amount of local authenticity or character.
Location
The hotel is uniquely situated on a hill, which allows for views of the ocean and the downtown Tamarindo area. The trade-off is that exploring the town center on foot requires a shuttle or taxi ride. The hotel does provide a shuttle service to its beach club located near downtown, which is within walking distance to numerous restaurants, cafés, and shops. And, of course, being atop the hill means you'll enjoy some of the best sunset views in Tamarindo.
Rooms & Bathrooms
Wyndham Tamarindo offers two types of what it calls "concept rooms," Standard and Premium. All are spacious and airy, with large windows allowing plenty of natural light and a private balcony facing the ocean. The rooms have a modern tropical design and include amenities like a mini fridge, TV, coffee maker, and air conditioning. The Premium option offers additional amenities like more space, cozy robes, and slippers.
Other Highlights
One of the main highlights of Wyndham Tamarindo is the large infinity pool in front of the reception area. This pool offers truly memorable coastline views and features a swim-up bar where you can enjoy cocktails. You can also relax at the property's beach club, complete with another pool, cabanas, and a gym. The hotel's restaurant serves various international and local dishes, and the bar offers a selection of tropical cocktails, beers, and wines. Head to the spa for a massage or facial treatment for even more relaxation.
