Ocho Artisan Bungalow in Playa Tamarindo - We Are Located Right on the Beach

Everything little thing about our stay was magical!!!! The bungalow was sooo cool, the property gorgeous and so zen, but the staff, especially Ilse, really made our stay perfect! Especially their attention to detail, friendliness and totally good vibes. We are already planning on returning by next year. Pura Vida!

We loved the Bungalow, the pool, the beach. The location was close to everything so it was easy to walk everywhere we wanted to go.

Incredible place all around. I don’t even know where to begin. Once we arrived for check in, we fell in love. Right away we were greeted by one of the nicest, most genuine people we have ever come across. Ilsa took us from feeling like guest to feeling like family. Her warmth, kindness and friendliness made her a delight to see every time we crossed her path. We were then taken into the hands of Sue. She was nothing less than excellent. She took care of us and made sure we were comfortable while we were there. Between her and Ilsa, they knew it was our anniversary so they went out it their way to do something a little special for us. It filled our hearts with warmth and gratitude. The room was just purely amazing. Comfortable bed. Cool layout and decor. Safe. Secure. Quiet. The pool was also very cool. Went swimming a couple times and a nice evening dip. The beach and the bar is top notch. Good music, great drinks and even better company and service. Gio is the man! That guy is such a hardworking great individual. He really made us feel special as he said hi every time he walked by. He was also very attentive in taking care of our drink orders. On to the drinks. Vlad was a very friendly bartender that we had great conversations with. He’s super friendly and had such a warm personality. Even had the pleasure of bumping into him in town after his shift. Such a great guy. I’m running out of room to thanks the incredible staff Brian the “Little Kraken” is amazing!

The reviews are right, this is not a serene location. Right on the beach right in the party scene. The restaurant plays EDM until 9pm, but the public access and night club pick it up from there. There is loud EDM music day and night, so make sure you like EDM. The Bungalows are fine, but the night life scene overwhelms the situation. It would be nice if the bathrooms had a door. The staff was helpful in setting up excursions and arranging transfers.
