We spent part of our honeymoon at Ocho Bungalows and absolutely loved our choice for lodging!
Pros:

Ocho Bungalows was an all-around fantastic place to stay for folks interested in traveling to the Costa Rican beachfront. The staff was incredibly kind, particularly the barstaff and Ilse the concierge, and the property was beautiful. Parking is safe and free. Breakfast is included. Happy hour has great prices, and the food is overall good for the area! Free lounging access is consistently available for the Beach Club, which is a coveted spot to spend an afternoon if beaching in Tamarindo. The room itself is incredibly unique, too! There is too much to say about the resort in such a short space, so just book and see for yourself! You will not regret it.

Ocho Bungalows
Pros:

My husband and I stayed at Ocho in March for our anniversary. Absolutely stunning property! It is in the heart of the town of Tamarindo but you wouldn't know it. The property is surrounded by beautiful landscaping. You feel secluded but you can walk into town for nightlife and food, so cool! The food on property is so good! The staff, so attentive, so kind and fun! Isle was the absolute best!

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING
Pros:

Wonderful staff, Ilse was absolutely amazing and booked us reservations at restaurants in town and booked us excursions, she always made sure we were taken care of and is very skilled at her job. The cleaning staff was amazing and made sure our room was cleaned and stocked everyday. The wait staff was also wonderful, we loved Pablo! The grounds were beautiful and so peaceful, we loved the pool and relaxing on the beach during sunset. The food and drinks were amazing, the bungalow was an absolute dream, and loved watching the fire show and listening to the DJ while relaxing on a day bed.

Cons:

Nothing

I’d raise it from Ocho to Diez

Much quieter end of the main beach, and with great access to boats and excursions. Incredibly friendly staff. Ilsa, Giovanni and Sylvia were very welcoming. Rooms were private and ours (#3) had a nice amount of shade.

Fantastisch!
Pros:

Prachtig complex, direct aan het strand. Mooi ingerichte lodge met alle voorzieningen die je maar kan bedenken aanwezig. Ontbijt een feest en onze host, Ilse, had oog voor elk detail en niets was haar teveel. Hierdoor echt het gevoel dat je extra in de watten werd gelegd. We hebben genoten!
