Tamarindo.Village.Costa Rica

Greetings from Tamarindo Village Hotel. In these weird times, I thought it would be appropriate to check in with everyone to spread the truth. Yes, in fact, I believe that you and we CAN handle the truth.

“Da T’ing”: That’s how locals say ‘THE THING’ here (one of my favorite horror movies from the days back when), and that is the term I’m using to cover this virus that is freaking people out.

First, facts: we in Costa Rica have around 30 known cases of da t’ing. The health care system is good at doing legwork, so they know the chain of infection on all of this. And all of that is in San Jose - 1 carrier did pass through Liberia, 1.5 hours from us, but no as-yet known incidences of da t’ing jumping onto others as a result.

Tamarindo: We are here in Guanacaste Province, cow country at the beach - we self-isolated years in advance of da t’ing. We might not be smart or even sober, but we did good on this one. And - it’s tropical sunny and hot here, too. Too bad da’ t’ing doesn’t like hot and tropical (I heard this, don’t know if it’s totally true, but I like it, so I’m going with it. Prove me wrong, I’ll buy your rum drink.)

Fact - no problems here except for the terrible and sad news that a number of travelers have postponed visiting hot & tropical Tamarindo because it was the right thing to do (not to mention cancelled flights and the aforementioned freaking out over da t’ing by governments and “news” outlets).
The result - we get the great weather to ourselves because fewer visitors. That’s good news / bad news, obviously. So we make lemonade out of it, with vodka. Happy times.

Toilet paper: What is up with that, people? Costa Rica has plenty; nobody fighting in aisle #3 over TP, either. And ‘they’ call us 3rd world? Come on.

We have had a great high season here with a ton of super guests. We have made new friends, seen a number of old friends, and we look forward to more if the same to come. Thank you to everyone who has stayed at Tamarindo Village this year ! If anyone needs or wants to isolate - come on down! If you have time, we have space. Cheap. 🌴😎🌴

Best to everyone and we’ll see you all soon without a doubt.

Want some privacy?

When booking ask about our villas with private DIPPING POOLS. These are NOT heated whirlpool baths, but they are heated to a perfect temperature by the sun. Remember, Costa Rica is hot year round so they’ll never be cold but absolutely refreshing!

Jump in to wake up with a coffee from our endless complimentary coffee bar, after a beach session, or to wind down with a beer after a relaxing day in the sun.

PURA VIDA! 🌞🤙🏼

It’s been 10 wonderful years today, since I was smart enough and fortunate enough to be married to Martha. We have spent 7 of those years in Tamarindo. Here we are with some of the family representing England, Australia, Mexico, and the USA.
Looking forward to lots more.
