costa rica vacation rentals tamarindo
I’m taking a vacation to Tamarindo, costa rica. Any pointers or advice?
We will be staying a week. I’d love any advice or pointers on where to eat and what to do. We are staying in a condo close to Tamarindo beach and will have a rental car. Thanks!
Get away from Tamarindo!! This place is infested with drug dealers and theives. The sewerage problem is out of control here as well. Too much litter! Go to Flamingo Beach-just up the road. Marie’s is a great chicken place near Flamingo beach. The Flamingo Beach resort has music and dancing. If you go to Brassilito (a little farther north), you can do a 4 hour ATV tour with a Zip Line ride-really fun and you get up close and personal with the rain forest. Hotel Brassilito has quite a good menu for a small hotel. Playa Conchal is right next to Brassilito. It’s quite an experience to see the beach made of shells. Big hotel there with entertainment. Forget about seeing the volcanoes. They are all shrouded in mist most of the year but, the hot springs at Arenal are great.
Stay out of San Jose as it has a large thievery problem and is impossible to navigate the streets-even with a map.
