You can spend your days at the same beaches as the rich and famous and pass your nights in your favorite haunt in Tamarindo. . . and still save a lot of bucks. When considering Tamarindo hotels Costa Rica has lots from which to choose---and for every budget---and these cheap Costa Rica hotels are the place of choice for many Costa Rica vacations.
