Tamarindo
is a Sportsman's and Nature Lover's Dream
 |
Imagine yourself
strolling down miles of pristine white sand beaches. The lush jungle
foliage, palm fronds of rich tropical green reaches out to the deep
blue sea and sky. You stop occasionally to collect a shell glistening
in the sunlight. You glance up into the jungle to see a family of
monkeys frolicking playfully from branch to branch. The sky suddenly
becomes alive with a flock of Amazon Parrots. Wild horses roam the
beach grazing on the salt grasses. |
| With each step, your cares melt away in the warm
tropical sun. You lose track of the date. You are lost somewhere
in time, near the center of the earth, between two great continents,
somewhere on the Costa Rican Pacific coast. You have discovered
a charming unspoiled place, a small piece of paradise. You have
discovered Tamarindo.
The Tamarindo Vista Villa's staff is here to help
you maximize your vacation pleasure, and guide you to all there
is to experience in this little tropical wonderland.

This is the view from almost
every room in the hotel
Surfers can watch the waves of the
Tamarindo river mouth peel right from their terrace and every
room in their villa. There are six excellent surf breaks within
a short walk from the hotel. Secure board storage is provided
at no extra charge.

Tamarindo, once a "secret
spot" among the surfing elite has become a world- famous surfing
destination since the filming of "Endless Summer II". Tamarindo
has been blessed by consistent swells and off-shore conditions.
|
| The owner and manager of
the hotel are avid surfers and will help you plan your safari to
the many great breaks in and around the Tamarindo area (Langosta,
Playa Grande, Avellanas, Little Hawaii, and Playa Negra, Witch's
Rock, and Ollie's Point). For long-boarders, the resort has actually
built 10-foot tall closets in the Corona Suites to accommodate your
big stick! Check the latest surf report. |

in a big way! There are now three 18 hole championship golf courses
to choose from within a short drive from the resort as well as a

in Costa Rica is indeed a most unique experience. It is not uncommon
to see howler monkeys, iguanas, and a variety of colorful Amazon
parrots during your round. |
Horseback
Riding
| Imagine....you are with
someone you love. You are riding your horses down an endless deserted
beach. The surf gently ebbs and flows below you, reflecting the
pastel splendor of the dazzling Tamarindo sunset. Once again, you
reflect how wonderful it is to finally have found a place where
you can relax. Where you can simply be....... |
