Loved by Refugio Surf Lodge guests
"Unlike at other accommodations, we didn't have to eat Gallo Pinto for breakfast every day, but could instead choose from a wide variety of delicious brunch options directly from the restaurant/bar."
"The location was very central and close to the beach."
"The care and focus on prioritizing the guest experience is rare in and of itself - amazing experience - and omg the homemade yogurt and breakfast - included in our stay was exceptional!"

“This adults-only lodge, a short walk from Tamarindo Beach, stands out for its personalized service and breakfast featuring homemade yogurt. I appreciate the cozy, clean rooms and the convenience to local attractions and the airport. It's a solid choice for couples or small groups seeking a relaxed, intimate beach getaway.”
