Property Description

From sleepy fishing village to booming beach town, Tamarindo has become one of Costa Rica’s most popular destinations. Even as specialty cafés, chic boutiques, and global fusion restaurants fill its streets, it has managed to maintain its relaxed, friendly atmosphere. Just 30 miles from the Liberia international airport, it offers easy access to beautiful beaches and unique tropical ecosystems.

Selina Tamarindo continues our tradition of sustainable properties that blend naturally with their environment. We seek to build community here, and daily activities like morning yoga, salsa lessons, and surfing classes do just that. Our common areas, like the swimming pool, kitchen, and playground with live music and DJ sets on the weekends are perfect for socializing and making friends. Make sure you try the delicious concoctions of our restaurant & bar.

From ocean activities to tours of the jungle, Tamarindo has no shortage of things to do. Learn how to surf, go horseback riding on the beach, or put on a snorkel and mask to head below the water’s surface. You can also go sports fishing and even take a canoe tour through the waters of the Tamarindo Wildlife Refuge. The town, filled with travelers, expats, and locals, has tons of options for eating, drinking, and shopping; no matter what you’re in the mood for, you’ll certainly experience “pura vida” in Tamarindo.

Do not recommend. Whilst the location and the pool were nice - it was massively overpriced, our private room was tiny and dirty. The kitchen was dirty as well, not as dirty as the bathrooms though. Toilet paper was missing from our bathroom for a whole 3 days. Some of the staff was very friendly, most were a bit rude and unhelpful though.

The best thing about this property was the staff members. They were incredibly kind and helpful! Unfortunately, the rooms were quite dirty, and the atmosphere did not seem very tailored to backpackers who want to socialize. It would be nice if there were more spaces to sit and hang out as well as more games to play. It was designed too much like a restaurant. Location was perfect. Within walking distance to everything in Tamarindo, but not directly downtown, which was good for sleeping.

To start I mostly enjoyed my stay at Selina Tamarindo. Downsides were having cold water most of my stay and not them not changing linens regularly. I’ve been to other Selina’s and they were better kept. Also there weren’t many activities hosted by the hostel to get people to mingle. I had to go out of my way to make friends but no biggie. Overall I would stay here again, the proximity to the beach and restaurants was a huge plus.
