Take a few moments to review our Guest Directory.
The directory will answer many of the questions you have concerning Tamarindo, the hotel and the surrounding areas. If after reading this directory you have any further questions, please contact the front desk (dial “0”).
BEST WESTERN Tamarindo Vista Villas is an environmentally friendly hotel. Your assistance in conserving water and electricity is appreciated. Only towels left on the floor will be changed. Please remember to report any malfunctioning faucets, or water leaks to the front desk so that we can repair them quickly and preserve water. Also, in order to preserve electricity, we ask that you turn off lights, fans and air-conditioners when you leave your room.
Your cooperation is greatly appreciated.
