In the Shade Hotel - Coworking - Adults Only

Clean room. Definitely recommend the room with the kitchen

Great hotel! Staff is very nice

Wonderful staff, simple yet cozy rooms but spent much of the time by the pool :)

I liked Thursdays social for guests.I think, it is a great and unique idea.Gracias and mercy guys!

Excellent location and incredible staff. Had everything I needed.

Great propriety… excellent and helpful staff at the reception… great pool

In the Shade Hotel is very clean with an efficient working air conditioning, nice water pressure in the shower and enough space in the room.
Front desk person was friendly and informative.
On either side of the hotel you have a choice of restaurants to eat. And you have a bank, stores and restaurants within walking distance to the hotel.

The hotel was fantastic. Service was impeccable and staff very attentive. Room was clean and comfortable. Staff recommended many restaurants and activities to make my stay perfect. Highly recommend.

Thank you

All of the staff especially Maggie made my stay very comfortable. As a young traveler Maggie gave advice, safety tips, and fun activities. Whenever there was a transportation concern Maggie was right on top of it with solutions. The free coffee in the morning was a cherry on top. And the safety in a city was astonishing. I will for sure be staying here again and for anyone thinking of staying in Tamarindo pick this hotel!

In The Shade is amazing!! I have been to Costa Rica 8 times now and have tried all different places, but this is at the top. The staff is all so friendly and they serve a great cup of coffee in the morning. What really makes this a good place to stay in Tamarindo is that it's very close to the main roads you will want to spend your time at, but the Hotel is very private. The Hotel is cozy, clean and quiet - what more could you ask for? Overall a 10/10 experience, hopefully I will be back!

Highly recommend!!! Comfortable and super cute! Great coworking space, delicious food and Service was A++! Attracts a lot of digital nomad types, upscale hostel vibes.

Nice place! Would stay again

Great stay - cafe food on site was excellent, staff was amazing and helpful on everything.

I will say this, the property photos really help it shine! It is a very simple space, but I would stay there again. The room smelled fresh and clean and was nice and cool when we arrived. But the rooms are basic, think dorm style. However, what it lacks in luxury, it makes up for in service, location, safety, and food. There are about 16 rooms total so it is very quiet and intimate. I got to know a lot of the guests and the staff got to know us. The food was delicious! Maggie and Sandra were extremely helpful with arranging transportation and excursions even from home. They helped us plan a spa day at Sibou, kind of nearby and it was the best spa experience I have ever had. The beach is a 7 minute walk and within a 5-10 minute walk, there are tons of shops and restaurants. Tamarindo is very touristy, so if you are looking for spots that locals run, this is not that place. But this hotel is a perfect place to access what Tamarindo has to offer as well as take taxis to other locations and excursions. Breakfast was delicious every day and very reasonable. Book here if you mainly want a cozy spot to hang outside by the pool and to serve as a landing spot between adventures. I feel like I unlocked a new way of traveling outside of the big fancy hotels and all-inclusive resorts and I like it! Simple can be super beautiful and fun!

We had an amazing stay at this hotel, perfectly located in Tamarindo. It’s just peaceful enough to relax and unwind, yet close enough to the town’s vibrant life to fully enjoy the Pura Vida spirit.
Everything was perfect — from the outstanding breakfasts to the impeccable service. This definitely won’t be our last visit, and we absolutely recommend this place without hesitation.
A special thanks to Maggie for her incredible way with guests (she patiently answered all our many questions!) and to the entire staff for making us feel so welcome.
Whether you're looking for a relaxing getaway or a great spot for remote work (there are dedicated co-working areas!), this is the place to be. Well done to the whole team!

Friendly staff, close to the beach and restaurants, clean and quiet!

Great location and service !

I will start with the good and then go to the bad. The breakfast is as great as they say Greiten is an amazing cook. Maggie was super helpful with any questions I had about the area. Now to the bad. I love staying at boutique hotels bc typically you can support a small business and you can’t get lost in a big hotel chain especially since I do a lot of solo traveling. I had a question about a price change going lower and I’m assuming the owner Patrick had an issue with me regarding that. I don’t want to assume it’s bc I’m black. It’s a small hotel I saw his wife and she was kind and greeted me. The owner refused to speak to me the entire time I was there. As an owner bc there is a question or concern you can’t get mad at the guest who has a genuine concern. Anyway instead of me giving a poor review bc I think of the people that depend on the hotels success to take care of their families I just hopes he doesn’t mistreat the staff bc clearly he can hold a grudge. I’ve never experienced anything like this but even a rude person that isn’t from Costa Rica can’t take away the joy and all the amazing people I encountered there.

Fantastic space, extremely helpful staff, pool was cool and the beer was always cold. 7 minute walk to the beach, could not ask for a better stay.

We highly recommend In The Shade Hotel.
The place is very convenient, with all the rooms surrounding the pool. Very clean.
It is well located, easily walkable to the beach.
Sandra and Maddie made great recommendations for our stay.
Breakfast is fantastic, served with friendly staff.
