Ibis Condo #8

Easy to get to and walk to Tamarindo. Langosta beach club right across the street is so wonderful and great service and great food. Easy walk to other restaurants and a great selection of activities available at the beach. However, you should know that the rainforest wakes up early ?

We are a family of four and this space was perfect for our stay in Tamarindo taking surfing lessons and enjoying the beach. The location is amazing right opposite the entrance to the lovely Langosta Beach Club, with membership included. Other reviewers noted the proximity to the road but this did not disturb us and we slept well and it is located well away from the noisy beach bars and clubs in downtown Tamarindo. Kitchen very well equipped, beds comfortable, nice bathrooms, really great overall.

Condo was lovely, the staff was wonderful, and the beach club was a nice amenity. The tours Rafa booked for us were all terrific. The only reasons I can’t give a 5-star review are the food at the beach club was only ok, and the Condo needed a little work. The washer and dryer barely functioned, the dishwasher was not anchored to the counter, the filtered water faucet was loose, and the water/ice dispenser in the fridge were not functioning.

Ibis Condo was perfect for our family of four. Having amenities of a house was very beneficial for our week long stay. Access to the beach club across the street was super convenient! Especially on the windy days when the sand was blowing we could chill by the pool and have some delicious cocktails. They had everything we needed there towels, even cold towels at the hottest time of the day, excellent service and superb cocktails! Everyone across the board was extremely helpful. We had no issues at all on our travel. The only thing I’d say that may need a bit of attention would be the washing machine in the condo. It is a front loader and I think had been kept closed for a LONG time, it was musty and moldy, it definitely needs a good deep cleaning and for a note to be left for the guests to keep it open so it dries out. Other than that, we would love to return. It was a Gorgeous place overall.

This location was perfect, more quiet than in the center of downtown. We enjoyed the Langosta Beach Club every day!

Having never been to Costa Rica during high season, we opted to try Langosta rather than Hacienda Pinilla. The location was perfect to avoid the chaos of Tamarindo traffic at night. Within walking distance, we ventured daily to the food trucks and our favorite restaurants of Tamarindo. We used the beach club a few times but it was a tad on the pricey side w average food and was small.
The apartment itself was great. Was it noisy? Yes. But I read the prior reviews and brought ear plugs for all of us and problem solved. Waking up to the sounds of the monkeys was epic. Traffic was more noticeable on weekends when trucks and cars would stop abruptly at the speed bump outside and speed up.
The photos of the apartment are fairly accurate. There were changes to some pieces (for the better). The 24/7 guards were so friendly and kind. We did pay a premium for high season and enjoyed trying something new. Thank you Rafa for being so accessible. Ibis 8 was a great find!

The staff at langosta beach club went above and beyond to make my family feel welcomed. Ibis condo #8 is beautiful. Even better then the pictures show. We loved all the security guards they were very friendly. When we go back to Costa Rica we will make sure to swing into the beach club to see the staff again! They were just so great. Can’t say enough nice things about them!

From the moment we were greeted we felt at home! The condo is absolutely stunning and spacious and has everything that you need! A very short walk to town and all of the restaurants. The beach and pool just across the street are gorgeous and inviting! So many great things to say about this location! We had help from our very own concierge for everything we needed. At the time we had to have Covid tests to return to the US and that was arranged to be done right in the condo. Wonderful time and so much fun! We will definitely return!

Our unit was beautiful with three balconies and great appliances. Rafa and Juan, the attendants and concierge gentlemen were the best. They responded immediately to any requests we needed while there. In addition to the great appliances, there was a washer, dryer, microwave, blender and detergent. There were plenty of shower towels, beach towels and sheets for a week. The Langosta Beach Club directly across the street had a beautiful pool on the beach (never crowded) plus a well equipped gym with yoga available. Trish the attendant at the beach club was so helpful in securing a covered cabana with couches, table and covering from the sun so we could bring our baby with us with ease. She was also extra helpful in pairing my son with another fishing companion. She is really a special person

This spot is awesome for those who want to experience Tamarindo but at your own pace. Walking distance from anything you need/want. The condos are lovely and the staff is so kind. The street side is a bit noisy- I slept with earplugs, as I always do most places- my husband never heard a noise, though he never does.
The club is an awesome amenity to have. We used the pool and workout room daily. The staff there were also great.
It’s not as quiet as you may think. They do a lot of business with local tours and hotels so the pool and beach is full often. Get there early and claim your chairs. People in town for the day or from other properties can buy day passes so there’s quite a bit of traffic in the pool/beach areas. There are a lot of tourists from all over and even though it was a bit busier than we expected all the guests we met were super nice. There was a pretty good mix of singles, couples and families.
The pool was quiet and had lovely grounds and bungalows if you needed shade.
The condos were right across the street which made it easy to pop in and out and eat at “home” or grab a snack and come back across.
There was no need to even rent a car. We could walk anywhere we needed and all the restaurants and shopping within 5minutes.
I would gladly recommend this to anyone wanting to get to know Costa Rica and first time visitors.
Anyone looking for seclusion or quiet may be disappointed. This is a pretty well traveled part of the country.
If you do go you will love the drinks and relaxing with convenience of town and a great stay.
We also saw tons of wildlife, which was fun! Boat tours and horse riding from the beach as well as all kinds of sporting activities right out front.
We travel with a 6yr old and the area is very kid friendly as well. The staff at the club and condo are all super sweet and payed special attention to her needs and likes.
Definitely a great place to holiday.

We thoroughly enjoyed an early April week at IBIS #8. Booking was seamless, and Rafa organized our shuttles to and from the airport. The Langosta Beach Club across the street was fantastic, a great base camp for our family of four all week. We rented surf boards most days and found the waves just south of the club less crowded than the north end near Witch's Rock. The condo itself was clean and well appointed. We spent many morning hours on the shaded porch. One note: between the cars on the street, neighborhood howler monkeys, and the early rising sun, we were up early every morning with the locals! Not really an issue for us, but there is some street noise and neighbor noise. Also recommend renting one of the street legal golf carts from Pura Vida. We used it many times every day to ride into town to surf or for dinner. Tamarindo is a great town -- more touristy than Nosara or other towns north, but we had a blast and look forward to returning!

The condo had everything and was very comfortable and high end. We would recommend for familiies with children in a heartbeat. The beach is perfect for kids. Great surfing and the concierge service was extremely helpful and set up great excursions.

The condo was beautiful and check in very easy. It was very clean and beautifully decorated. You are a 4 minute walk thru the Langosta Beach Club to a great beach. The beach is very good for easy surfing, body boarding and body surfing. While your staying there, you are get access to the Langosta Beach club. This means you can use their pool, cabanas and charge meals and drinks to an account. It is a very nice feature you will appreciate on hot days. The food and drinks are great, but a little expensive based the area. However it's very convenient and worth it. The main town, Tamarindo is a 10 minute walk we made numerous times. The town is quaint and aimed at visiting tourists. It's very casual with some areas being nice and others a little basic. But, hey, it's a beach town in Costa Rica and a fun adventure. There is always someone there at the condo's to answer questions and help you. Everyone is friendly and willing to help. The condo is on the 2nd floor and overlooks the little road to town. The unit is a corner unit and the balcony is roomy with very nice furniture overlooking the road and the small gravel parking lot. Being on the 2nd floor worked out fine, since the elevator didn't work, but no big deal. For the price, location and quality of the condo, this was a great deal. We would definitely go back.

1st class location and property. The 2 concierges were always available and any issues or questions were swiftly met. Parking was adequate and the area was safe. Walking distance to anything in Taramindo. We had a small issue with sugar ants in the kitchen. Would recommend a professional exterminator to solve. Beds, Baths and living areas were perfect. Wifi was always available. Great Place.

The condo was completely stunning with all top end appliances and very clean. The decor was absolutely beautiful and very spacious. Great bedrooms and coffee every morning on the spacious patio, catching a glimpse of the Costa Rican culture and beautiful wildlife around you, made for a perfect start to your day. If you are looking for a great place to get away ,this is the place. There was a warm welcome as soon as we arrived , making the long day of travel worth it, I instantly felt at home. One week was just simply not long enough for our beautiful stay here. Costa Rica has so much to offer, and being here in Tamarindo, you can do as little or as much as you want to do. This condos location made you feel like you were in the heart of it all. Close to town and some great restaurants. Just across the street was the Langosta Beach Club they really want your stay to be the best of the best.The service was amazing and they all were so friendly , making sure you taken care of. Along with the beach they also have a very clean pool that over looks the ocean, so you can have the best of both worlds. There food is amazing! If you are looking for a friendly, relaxing and welcoming place to vacation, look no further. Ibis 8 is the place to be. We look forward to our next vacation here!

As we pulled into the property it was clear that this place was set apart from others like it in the area. Everyone was very welcoming and went out of their way to make sure you had what you needed to relax. Aside from the hospitality at Ibis I was blown away by the amenities of Ibis 8. 5 star doesn't begin to describe it. Fully furnished with new appliances in the kitchen (very spacious if you want to make a meal of your own. They even have drinking water from the tap). A roomy living area with a wonderful master suite. We stayed in the second bedroom. It had a private balcony overlooking the Langosta Beach Club. My favorite part of the day was waking up early to sit in solitude on the balcony and listen to the wildlife (exotic birds and plenty of howler monkeys). Memories I cherish. Costa Rica is hot but you get a nice respite from that at Ibis 8 with climate control. Free wifi was a real benefit, too. I wish we had more time to spend there. It was everything you'd expect from a 5 star condo in the states but with the seclusion of being in a jungle thousands of miles away. The Langosta Beach Club is just across the street. It's right on the ocean with a full bar, full menu, too. A really nice swimming pool with Cabanas for rent. On our last afternoon there a group of Howler Monkeys settled in the trees for a nap right above us. It was quite magical. If you're thinking about going to Costa Rica look no further than Ibis 8. The owners and management are classy folks that do everything to make your stay one you'll never forget. I've been to a lot of different places for vacation. I'll return to this condo as many times as I can. You'd be making a mistake to pass it up.

Hi Tyler: It is always gratifying to receive reviews like this and we are very pleased that you enjoyed your stay. I did want to comment on one issue. The Beach Club cabanas are free for our guests and not for rent. I want to be sure that nobody asked you to pay. Thanks again and please come back, Bob

The condo exceeded out expectations. Located close to town but far enough away to provide some peace and quiet. The facilities were great and the condo comfortable. Rafa and Stephano provided any assistance needed and always went beyond expectations. Access to the Langosta Club enhanced the stay and the restaurant there provided the best meals we had during our 2 week stay. I would not hesitate to recommend this rental.

Arriving at Ibis 8 we were met with a warm and friendly staff eager to help us. Bob with the assistance from Stephanos and Juanro, took care of transportation, recommendations and information that we needed. The condo was beautiful and the beds were comfortable. We especially enjoyed making our morning coffee in the modern spacious kitchen and taking it on the balcony to hear unusual birds and howler monkeys. We appreciated that it was equipped with a washer and dryer as well. A short distance across the street was the LaGosta Beach Club which is available to those staying at the condo. We reserved a cabana where we were by the pool and overlooking the beach. Delicious food and drinks were available for purchase if desired. (Try the Sea Bass - yum) Drink and food service was also available if you wanted to sit on the beach. The condo is conveniently located to shops and restaurants so we chose to walk to the various places we wanted to go. Day or night we were met by the security guard opening the gate for us and greeting us with "Buenoes Dias" or "Pura Veda" Time to leave - We had Juanro arrange for a shuttle to the airport. We were sad to leave this tropical oasis, can't wait for the next visit!

We stayed at this unit over the Christmas holidays. We loved everything about it. The unit itself was beautiful and very well equipped. The location is perfect! Directly across from Langosta Beach Club, which we enjoyed truly enjoyed. Also easy walking distance in to town, either by the road or via the beach. The location is also perfect for any excursions you may want to do. Bob and Veronica were great. We had a little trouble with our safe not opening, and they loaned us some cash (which we needed for an excursion) until we could get this issue with the safe resolved. They were also helpful in recommending dining options. Sebastian was very helpful in booking airport transfers and other excursions. Not that we ever felt the least bit uncomfortable, but there is no need to worry about security as there is always a security officer at the gate. We were lucky...when we were there Bob and Veronica hosted a Christmas eve party for the staff and guests, complete with traditional Costa Rican food, games and even fireworks. It was a great night. We absolutely loved this place and Costa Rica and would highly recommend it.

What a beautiful condo in a perfect location (a block from the Pacific, a nice walking distance into town especially via the beach, Langosta Beach Club across the street, yet remote enough for great relaxation). Being an architect, I appreciated the craftsmanship of the condo, and the time to relax in an attractive environment! Without any hesitancy, I will select this place and vacation there again. The concierge and staff were very accommodating and helpful. Rent it and you won't regret it!

We stayed for 11 days back in June-July. The interior of the condo is beautiful- nice, modern wood furnishing (teak native to Costa Rica), great appliances (altho the ice dispenser in the fridge didn't work), roomy kitchen, nice stereo, great AC. The wireless internet is a bit weak, but works. E-mail and Facebook are fine, no Netflix. A couple of friends stayed in the second bedroom- it has its own bathroom and is on the opposite end of the unit. The listing and photos were accurate and up to date. The staff are very friendly and very on top of things and keep the place spotless. We arranged a few trips (definitely go zip lining at Arenal, Nicaragua was cool) through the front desk which worked out well. Sebastian recommended a great trip to Playas Minas, which is incredibly beautiful and empty during the week. We had the beach to ourselves. The management (Bob) was very straightforward, easy to deal with and responded promptly to inquiries. The location was a real winner as it was just far enough from town to not be crazy, but a very close walk. The last bit of road is not paved, but the beach is a better walk anyways. The condos on the water look outdated. Not this one- it's across the road from the beach, but you have access to Langosta Beach Club, a great facility- gym, large cabanas, large in-ground pool, and a great bar with good food (especially chipotle sauce). The staff is very friendly. There is also surfboards, paddleboards, and wakeboards available for rental and lessons. Nearby there are plenty of restaurants- we preferred the local type food. Nogui's has great seafood. The Italian place has great breakfast. The Argentinian place was okay, the milaneses were our favorite. We really enjoyed Vulcano also. We went fishing with Pedro, which was a small boat but a lot of fun and reasonably priced. We rented a car for the drive down, and stopped at the automercado, which is really a great store. It has a good selection of fish and meat, and a wide variety of beer. We didn't visit the store that is closer to the condo but were told it was more limited. We took a shuttle bus on the way back to the airport. The JetBlue lines were very short compared to others. Overall, we had a great time and were very pleased with condo, building, location, and beach club. We would definitely recommend / go back again- I didn't see anywhere nearby that looked as good. We were absolutely pleased with our choice.

Spent the week of Thanksgiving at the Ibis condos across the street from the Langosta Beach Club. Our family was very happy with the accomodations. The condo was clean and well appointed. Beach towels were provided and Bob, the property manager was very helpful in giving us recommendations for outings, restaurants and directions. We used the concierge service extensively to book or excursions and were never disappointed. Highly recommend the Ibis condos and the bonus of the beach club across the street made out stay comfortable, easy and relaxing.

Just fantastic! We stayed for two weeks in early August, 2013, and enjoyed one of our most memorable vacations ever. As an avid traveller, I have always researched new and exciting destinations for my wife and two teenage children. We chose Costa Rica as an exotic and different experience for the entire family, and have absolutely no regrets. The weather was just perfect, the beaches and ocean swimming almost perfect, and the accommodations beyond my expectations. The management team were extremely friendly, and our use of the Beach Club facilities, from the outdoor pool, fitness gym and yoga classes were very important in our overall experience. The entire Langosta Beach Club staff were amazingly warm and friendly, as we have a disabled child confined to a wheelchair. The quality of our vacation would be rated a 5 on 5, and I would very much recommend this facility for any family or couple searching for a wonderful vacation destination.

We stayed at this condo the week of July 13-20 for our 25th wedding anniversary. Everything was amazing! The condo was beautiful, comfortable, spacious, updated, and clean. The full kitchen had everything we could have imagined needing and we loved the 3 balconies. It was great having the infinity pool and beach just a few steps away (literally across the street). We were pleasantly surprised by the smoothness of the sand, the temperature of the water, and the waves (which were perfect for trying out the boogie boards available for free at Ibis). The town was just a 10 minute walk from the condo. We walked to town at least once a day to shop, go to dinner, or just to go get ice cream. Bob, the property manager, his wife Veronica, Karla the Concierge, and the rest of staff were terrific! Bob was so helpful in providing information before and during our trip. Bob and Karla set up a driver for us for transportation to and from the airport to Ibis. The driver even stopped at the grocery store and waited for us while we picked up groceries. Bob made several recommendations for dinner; all of which we tried and each and every one was wonderful. Definitely recommend going to El Coconut, La Baula, and Nibanas Bob had provided information on various excursions before we got there. Once we arrived, he set them all up for us. We did the Mega Combo tour. The zip lining was a great experience (neither of us had done it before). We did the catamaran sunset tour (Hibiscus). The boat was beautiful, the snorkeling was fun, and the food was wonderful. We also did the riverboat tour and were able to see many amazing animals, including crocodiles, howler monkeys, various birds, lizards, and many more. We felt very safe wherever we went. Everyone was so polite and willing to help and give great service. We’ve traveled to many places outside of the US, but this trip was by far our favorite. Both the condo and Tamarindo were wonderful and the trip provided the perfect combination of relaxation and adventure. We have two boys, age 18 and 20, and they would’ve loved to have been there. We will definitely go back, bring our kids, and stay here again.

Our family of 4 stayed here for 10 glorious days on our first trip to CR. This is a great location & the condo has all you need to be comfortable and safe. Plenty of room, well stocked, w/d, security, you name it. Loved the connection to the beach club, with its access and workout rooms. Bob and staff were very helpful...especially planning trips and things to do. We had a car and easily made it around. Plus you could get to so much from here during a day trip. All was great...especially seeing whales on our 2nd to last night. Definitely check this place out. You won't regret it!

This condo is incredible, it is large, beautiful and has everything you would need, including a washer and dryer. Bob and his staff are also excellent and helped with everything including detailed directions to places we wanted to visit. I highly recommend staying at one of these condos.

This was our first trip to Costa Rica. I travelled with my mother (72) and my son (6 1/2). We rented #8 and it was perfect in every way. Very nice design and furnishings. Very clean. A step across the street to the Langosta Beach Club, pool and beach. This property is perfectly located just at the edge of the 'village' area with shops and restaurants so a very quick and easy walk down the beach. The beach at Langosta is a good one for younger children, beginner surfers, and swimmers. A half-mile or so to the south is a totally different experience -- the waves you come to Costa Rica for and wonderful warm Pacific water. I haven't played in the water for so long since I was in high school because the perfect waves just kept coming. I was amazed at the number and quality of local restaurants of every type -- the best pizza I've ever had Baulas, seafood, Italian, easy local beach food. The condo was well equipped for cooking at home which we did for breakfast and lunch, then out to dinner. Every member of the Ibis property staff was cordial, helpful and friendly. The Beach Club staff was equally friendly and helpful. We took a day trip to Rincan de la Vieja for zip-lining, tubing and playing in the hot springs. It was a vacation that you can make as busy or as relaxing as you choose. Perfect climate, perfect water, beautiful surroundings and easy airport access.

Being my first trip outside the US I was a bit scared of making a trip with 6 friends; Bob did an excellent job taking care of things to ease any concerns we had; he gladly booked the adventures for the day and gave us very good recommendations. Since I have been traveling more I find it VERY VERY helpful to have a go to person that knows the scene. The condo was comfortably located across the street from the local beach club which gave us all the access we needed to drinks, food, fun and a beautiful scenery, and the food there would delight any food lover. People have mentioned dust a few times in other reviews.. but this is Costa Rica so be ready for it.. it is a little dusty. My group and I plan on going back ASAP and renting the penthouse this time :)

My husband came to Tamarindo and heard of Ibis and Bob from a friend from our hometown. It exceeded our already high expectations! The condo was beautful, clean, and spacious. The kitchen was fully equipped and wonderful for our needs. We came alone and hope to return with our 3 boys because there is plenty of space for all of us and plenty of activities that our whole family will enjoy! Bob does such a great job of being available at all times of the day. He booked dinners and activities for us. We loved learning to surf with Junior, eating at Bula Bula, and eating at Pangas! What an amazing place. Bob's staff were so friendly and helpful. We also saw quite a bit of wild life. There were monkeys around our condo a couple of different times, many birds, and iguanas. The beach club is really great and a wonderful place to spend your relaxing time. Thanks for a great week!

This was our second trip to Tamarindo and the Ibis. Last year’s trip was so successful that this time we brought family and friends. Our condo was very nicely appointed, clean and a great place to relax when finished with the beach. The Beach Club across the road is very convenient and a good base of operations. Bob and Veronica provide a uniquely high level of customer service and warmly helped us with grocery shopping, surfing trips, transportation, excellent dining recommendations and even help in tracking down luggage lost by Air Canada. I recommend the Ibis for those who want to enjoy Tamarindo’s many charms and then retreat to a beautiful property just down the beach.

We stayed here in early November 2012 and had a wonderful experience. The rooms and very nicely done. And, staying right across from the beach was a great location. Just a 30 second walk to the beach and waves. Bob and Veronica were wonderful taking us to get food, setting up shuttle services and getting/returning surf boards. We'll be back.

We stayed at Ibis over Christmas this year. It was absolutely wonderful. The condo was spacious, clean, updated, relaxing and the location was great. We were able walk everywhere we wanted/needed to go. We used the Longosta Beach Club, which was so relaxing. The food is wonderful. Bob and Veronica were amazing and very hosptiable through the entire week. They had wonderful restaurant suggestions and great tips in area. Bob also helped book activites for us like Zip Line Adventure, Sea Turtles, etc. I would highly recommend this place and hope to go back again very very very soon!

Renting from Bob Wilson was one of the best decisions we have made for a vacation. The Condo was modern, very clean, spacious, and had working AC/Internet /TV. The access to the beautiful Langosta Beach Club was wonderful. It is a stunning facility and extremely well run. We loved the food and service. Bob made sure to book many adventures for us including tours, zip lining, restaurants, surf lessons, and deep sea fishing. His contacts were honest and great to deal with. We would go back in a minute. WE have 2 children 8 and 12 who loved it as well. You will not be disappointed!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and Ibis #2 was perfect. The condo was beautiful, and close to everything we needed. Across the street from the Beach Club with easy access to the ocean. Picnic tables and lounge chairs on the beach and around the pool. We were walking distance from town with access to shopping, and many great restaurants. Upon our arrival Bob drove us on a tour of the town and pointed out best restaurants. He took us to a large super market where we were able to do our shopping for the week. He was also available to arrange any excursions we wanted to take. We will definitely return, and highly recommend this location.

What a wonderful time we had in Tamarindo and these fabulous condos. We absolutely loved our time here. The condo was clean, nice, everything worked. We felt safe and secure. Bob is incredibly nice and interested in customer service. The Langosta Beach Club is right across the street and so is the beach. We'll be back.

Dear Bob and Veronica, thank you for such a wonderful stay at Ibis #8 several weeks ago. Trish, Sally, Anne, Sam and I had a wonderful time in condo #8 and at the club and beach. We especially appreciated the welcome and advice both you and Veronica provided. This helped us with many decisions, and most certainly paved the way for an enjoyable visit. After doing the zip line at eco-glide in La Fortuna with two cables, we want to thank you and Veronica again for recommending a business with two cables. We had a blast zip lining with eco-glide, and seeing that secondary cable took the edge off for me on several zips. I have already provided your link to several friends having an interest in visiting Tamarindo.

This condo was really nice, much nicer than we expected. The grounds at both the condo and the beach club were beautiful. The pictures in the listed seems a little dated for the bedrooms - the bed linens and decor is a little different, but that's not big deal. I didn't have any direct contact with the owner of this condo, my reservation was handled through the rental manager Bob Wilson, who is very nice and eager to help. I would definitely recommend this property to anyone looking for a condo in Tamarindo. My only reservation is with the restaurant and bar - they are expensive - the food and drinks are wonderful - but expect to pay a bit more than you would at a local joint. My suggestion is to get out of the beach club and explore a bit - there are lots of places that have happy hour and 2 for 1 drinks - along with reasonable food prices. Our favorites were La Baula, Taco Stop, and Nogui's. One other extremely important fact that we overlooked was - bring bug spray and sunscreen- it's a must - you will get carried away by the mosquitoes or fried by the equatorial sun. Both are very expensive to buy there compared to what you would pay in the US. If you forget bug spray, you can always ask any restaurant or bar your at to have some, they'll give it to you. :)
