Top Hotels Near Monkey Park in Guanacaste

"We chose to spend a week at this beautiful home, in Tamarindo, to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary. Everything was perfect! Al is the best host and having Dominic so close was wonderful. In advance of our trip we were able to work with Dominic and Al to get contacts for the best dive shop, surf lesson instructor and of course a list of all the best restaurants to eat at. We loved the location because it was not on the main street in Tamarindo but was quiet while still close to everything. Al even coordinated with our adult kids before arrival who had flowers and a great dinner planned out and paid for before we got there. While there, Dominic was available whenever needed. Provided check in and acquainted us with the home upon arrival, helped us break larger dollars, checked in via text and was available to answer any and all questions throughout our stay. He also has the sweetest dog, Panterra, that would greet us anytime we came or went. Every VRBO should have a Dominic and a Panterra! The house itself is decorated so well and very comfortable. The bed was comfy too. Casa Castaway had everything we needed and even a few extras that you don't always get when staying at a VRBO. Shampoo, conditioner, bodywash, sunscreen (in case you forgot and need covered until you buy some), Beach towels, Boogie Boards.... this is just naming a few. There are 3 decks and beautiful flowers can be seen from each. Also, there is a new pool going in so we will have to get back to use it in the future! We spent our time relaxing on the beach (Las Catalinas was our favorite - hardly anyone there), dove, surfed, hiked in Rincon National Park (waterfalls, volcanic activity and hot springs) and relaxing in the town of Tamarindo. We truly cannot thank Al & Dominic enough, nor can we speak highly enough of this home and experience. If you are planning a trip to Costa Rica we highly recommend Casa Castaway! :)"

"Wonderful all inclusive resort with friendly and attentive staff who genuinely wanted us to have a great experience! Food superior to other all-inclusives we have visited, and dining options included for gluten and dairy free. Great housekeeping, excellent and timely bar service at the pool, had to get room service one night while managing a canceled flight and food was great then too. Very service oriented and nearly all staff wore masks appropriately and were seen to be cleaning common areas. Nice pool area, especially the adult pool where we spent most of our time. The beach is not private however so be prepared to have the locals approach you for massages, drinks, etc. "

"They have a large pool that is kept clean. The food was good at the restaraunt."

"I just loved this place..It was close everything.. Victor was great and i needed nothing.. super spot"

"Nice, as advertised"

"Casa Mapache is a lovely place managed by lovely people. The spacious, clean room had a king size bed and two twin beds, which was perfect for our family of four with two "tween" boys who don't want to share a bed if they don't have to! The A/C and ceiling fan kept us plenty cool. The bathroom was huge, with two showers! -- what a nice feature. There was plenty of hot water and good water pressure Our favorite part was the pool! The water was much cooler and more refreshing than most of the hotel pools that we encountered. And the pool is longer than most, so you can actually do some legitimate swimming. While lounging around the pool area, we were entertained by a family of howler monkeys that was making the rounds through the trees surrounding the property. The hotel is managed by a very nice family who takes great pride in what they do. The breakfast was delicious and the presentation was lovely. The French toast was a pleasant surprise. My only complaint is that the place is called a B&B, yet they charge for breakfast. Perhaps it should just be called a B? The son of the owner (sorry, I'm bad with names) was very helpful throughout our stay and I would like to give him special thanks for pointing us to his favorite beach in the area, which turned out to be our favorite beach on our whole trip! I'm not saying where it is -- you will have to go to Casa Mapache and ask him yourself!"

"Great house, everything very clean and well equipped, the house is spacious and very comfortable, thank you for a wonderful stay! We will definitely come back"
