What a great experience, very friendly and helpful staff. Close walk into town. Marisol was fantastic-wonderful food and room was comfortable. Owners extremely concerned with security, good for all but strict if you are a solo traveller and meet friends you care to spend time back at Villa Nautilus. Overall, would highly recommend for families and couples. If solo and make friends easily, I’d talk directly with owners first 🙏

Villa Nautilus was the perfect place for us! The location is so walkable to the beach and restaurants. There is a cool and shaded pool area to relax in midday. Breakfast was fabulous...Costa Rican, french press coffee and fresh fruit every morning more! We love smaller places and you have the opportunity to visit with other guest if you choose in the common areas, or have quiet and privacy. Also, our hosts Agelie and Laurent were both so charming and you feel very welcome in their home! Take time to visit with them if your schedule allows!

Servicio al cliente sobresaliente. Desayuno incluido excelente, de muy buen gusto y atención amable. Los dueños del establecimiento, Laurent y Angelie se encargan personalmente de la atención a los huéspedes y dan un servicio personalizado sobresaliente. Habitación espaciosa, limpia y decorada con buen gusto. Con un balcón acondicionado para disfrutar del atardecer, de la tranquilidad del sitio, en donde además sirven el desayuno de forma privada para los huéspedes de esa habitación. Local silencio, apto para relajarse y por supuesto alejarse del bullicio de Tamarindo. Pero siempre a pocos pasos de la playa y la gran variedad de oferta comercial y de restaurantes de este emblemático sitio de la costa de Guanacaste. Recomendado para parejas o familias, dado que cuentan también con habitaciones para 4 pax equipadas con cocina.

Adoramos o hotel, muito confortável e o Quarto muito bem decorado. Área comum pequena mas muito aconchegante com piscina. Os donos são muito queridos e prestativos e nos deram várias dicas de onde ir e como chegar. Recomendo.’

Great location, just minutes from the beach but far enough away to have a quiet sleep. Rooms and property were as advertised and very clean. Hosts were very friendly and lots of great advice and recommendations upon arrival. Breakfast is definitely worth it. Would love to go back!

We paid for the daily breakfast and it was beyond worth it. Every morning was a different meal and always fresh and tasty. The couple that runs the villa are great people and know the good spots to hit in tamarindo.

Vi kom sent till hotellet och personal väntade in oss för incheckning. Incheckning fungerade bra. Vårt rum låg så det passerade det gemensamma området som användes bla av ägarna och personalen. Lite blandad upplevelse, ibland trevligt men ibland lite för familjärt. Området kring frukosten och poolen är mysigt och trevligt. Personalen är hjälpsam och rummet rent. Att gå ner till butiker mm tar bra några minuter. Parkering utanför fungerade bra. wifi fungerade ok.

This is a bed and breakfast type of place that is run by a very kind and helpful French couple. It's a bit unclear where to park and how to get into the place at first, but once you're in, it's a beautiful 3 story building with a fantastic pool and patio area. They made us a perfect breakfast of French pastries and local fruit. The bed was amazing. Possibly the best bed we've ever slept on. The hosts pulled a map out to show us all the best restaurants in town...and they were great recommendations! We'd definitely stay here again.

After having been in Tamarindo on vacation before and having stayed in other hotels, I can safely say that Villa Nautilus was the best place to stay! Amazing atmosphere, clean room, gorgeous amenity area to relax and enjoy the pool. The owners are welcoming, informative and great people. We had breakfast served by the pool one day. Easily the best breakfast we have ever had in Costa Rica. An easy walk to the beach, restaurants and convenience stores. I highly recommend Villa Nautilus and will be returning.

This Villa is a perfect if you want affordable and safe lodging near the beach with a personal touch. This property is owned and ran by a very friendly French couple. It's located just a few minutes walk away from the beach and all the Tamarindo restaurants and shops. The property is surrounded by a tall fence and locked gate, to which you get a key for access. The breakfast each morning is made fresh for you with coffee, juice and fruit. Our room was located just off the living room and kitchen area so we did hear some of the commotion of the French family but it was not overwhelming nor excessive -- and they do have a couple more isolated rooms on the first floor. I would not hesitate to stay here again if we ever visit Tamarindo again.
