Basic hotel across from the beach

I don’t usually write reviews, but I felt compelled to share my experience because there are so many unfairly negative ones out there. I paid roughly $40 a night, and for that price, this place exceeded my expectations. The rooms were clean and sanitary, and the location is hard to beat—literally right across the street from the beach. Breakfast was included and was a traditional Costa Rican gallo pinto with a cup of excellent coffee, which was a great way to start the day. Nothing fancy, just authentic and satisfying. This is not a luxury resort, but it’s also not trying to be. If you’re looking for an inexpensive, straightforward place near the beach, this is a solid option. Based on my stay, it absolutely deserves 5 stars for value.

Surf Ranch Tamarindo was an amazing experience. The attention from the ladies who take care of the cleaning and breakfast is truly unique — their dedication and willingness to help with anything you need is surprising in the best way, something you don’t see very often. The manager was also very kind, and the explanation of the check-in process was clear and perfect. Breakfast time is so friendly and cozy that it feels less like a hotel and more like staying in a family home. The location is perfect, right in front of the ocean. Tamarindo is already beautiful, but this place makes it even more special.

Make sure you have your check-in code before you arrive. The rooms are new, clean, and safe. Staff are all gone by 3pm every day.

It was a great stay overall! While it isn’t necessarily oceanfront, it’s across the street from the beach! Very convenient location at the beginning of the strip in Tamarindo. It’s a laidback simple living type of vibe and the breakfast is great and filling. Be sure to read the “check in” email because otherwise it will be confusing as it is a self check in system but there are also people at the hotel who will gladly help you out if you have any questions! I like that it’s not smack in the middle of everything because weekends especially get louder and busy so we aren’t merged into all that but it is surrounded by shops hotels restaurants markets etc… it’s a short 9 min walk to the main hub of beachfront restaurants and gift shops of tamarindo beach so very easy to get around and learn the streets. The staff are sweet and I would stay there again.

Overall we had a positive experience staying at Surf ranch. The hotel is located in a great spot and is close to the beach and all the shops and restaurants. The breakfast was decent and the room was clean. What we were not happy about was the very slow WiFi and how dark our room was. We were located at the first floor and people were hanging out outside of our room till late and we could literally hear everything.
