The Coast Beachfront Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"We loved our stay at the beachfront hotel! The staff was very nice and it was a perfect location to walk to downtown Tamarindo when it was nice weather, or just a short drive. There were a lot of ants in our room, but that is probably just the norm. We wish the paddle boards and surfboards were a little bit better kept, as there was only one paddle for the paddle boards, and it broke within a few minutes of using it. A few of the surfboards definitely needed some maintenance as well. The breakfast every morning was very nice, and we would definitely stay here again!"

"Everyone was so friendly and helpful, our room and the resort were always clean, the food was amazing. There was so much to do and the beach and pools were beautiful. Our only issue was our soaking tub in our room did not have warm/hot water, but I’m sure if we mentioned it they definitely would have accommodated us. 10/10 experience definitely will be back!"

"Property was very clean, and staff were very friendly. We had a great view of the ocean from our room. We did have an intruder (Racoon) enter our room through the balcony door and open the bar fridge and stole a bag of peanuts. We learned that we needed to keep our balcony door locked and not just closed! However, we will definitely go back! Food and drinks are a little pricey!"

10/10 Excellent
"We had a fabulous time staying at Ten North in Tamarindo! It was our first time staying in Costa Rica and we so enjoyed how friendly and helpful the staff were. They gave us suggestions for places to eat and tours to go on. Our room was spacious, clean and air conditioned which was a bonus since it was hot and humid! The lovely pool was well maintained and provided an oasis away from activity of the beach. The location was just perfect! We were only minutes from the beach and all of the restaurants and activities yet we were tucked away on a side street, which was generally pretty quiet. We can’t say enough about how special this place is, and I would go back again in a heartbeat!"
