There are so many ways you could define the best places to stay in Tamarindo. We’ve based our list on 10 of them. (And yes, this view is one of those reasons!)

We have a philosophy. A motto, if you will. It goes like this: While everyday life may require compromise, vacation should be the one time of year you can have it all. This should be the one time that you don’t have to settle, don’t have to sacrifice this for that – the time to insist on your wish list and revel in everything you want, no compromise required.

Indeed, this is the time to seek out the best places to stay in Tamarindo and to reserve the one that strums at your heart strings. Because this is your time. That’s our philosophy and we’re sticking to it.

And so, with that in mind, we thought we’d highlight a few of our favorite homes and communities in Tamarindo. And by that, we mean Greater Tamarindo – specifically, downtown, Playa Langosta, and Hacienda Pinilla. (We’ll cover Playa Flamingo in a later post, promise!)

You are here. Here, in paradise. Here, with a drink in your hand. Here, overlooking the famously pink Playa Conchal. Here, at our Conchal Penthouse. Here, exactly where you want to be. Welcome!

Imagine with us, if you will, a private ocean-view terrace, still warm from languid rays of afternoon sun. Adirondack chairs beckon the perfect posture of partial recline, partial view-appreciation. Because oh, that view.

Unfolding over Colonial-style red roofs and dense tree canopy, the vista rolls and tumbles toward the Pacific Ocean. And, there – endless blue, punctuated by the occasional sailboat and island. This view – it’s all yours.

Because it’s you on that still warm, ocean-view terrace. You, in that Adirondack chair. You, appreciating that view. You, here. You, in paradise.

Because you have claimed Conchal Penthouse as your own.
