What a great experience, very friendly and helpful staff. Close walk into town. Marisol was fantastic-wonderful food and room was comfortable. Owners extremely concerned with security, good for all but strict if you are a solo traveller and meet friends you care to spend time back at Villa Nautilus. Overall, would highly recommend for families and couples. If solo and make friends easily, I’d talk directly with owners first 🙏

Villa Nautilus was the perfect place for us! The location is so walkable to the beach and restaurants. There is a cool and shaded pool area to relax in midday. Breakfast was fabulous...Costa Rican, french press coffee and fresh fruit every morning more! We love smaller places and you have the opportunity to visit with other guest if you choose in the common areas, or have quiet and privacy. Also, our hosts Agelie and Laurent were both so charming and you feel very welcome in their home! Take time to visit with them if your schedule allows!

Location cannot be beat. Close to so much good food, beach, shops, and supermarkets. Tamarindo is easy to walk around, even with kids. A block away is an area where you can get any kind of tour Tamarindo offers— catamaran, atv, horses, and more. The breakfasts were excellent. I loved the homemade jams. Our room was cute, rustic, and comfortable. Good air conditioning, thoughtful touches, nice pool. This is a great spot to stay in Tamarindo for a comfortable Costa Rican experience. We enjoyed that this b-n-b has only a few rooms, so it was quiet, yet we were not lacking in amenities and Agelie set us up with all we needed for supplies, info about the town, and arranged tours and shuttles.

I was disappointed in that it wasn't billed as a hostel or a rooming house. It was incredibly uncomfortable. The shining lite was the breakfast cook.

A wonderful little B & B Guest House, just a short walk down to an amazing beach and all the restaurants and shops you could imagine. Owner, Agelie, was so lovely and helpful with suggestions for places to eat at and visit, and lined up our nighttime turtle tour for us. Yummy breakfasts by the pool each morning. We enjoyed the quiet there. Thank you, Laurent and Agelie!

Great location, just minutes from the beach but far enough away to have a quiet sleep. Rooms and property were as advertised and very clean. Hosts were very friendly and lots of great advice and recommendations upon arrival. Breakfast is definitely worth it. Would love to go back!

We paid for the daily breakfast and it was beyond worth it. Every morning was a different meal and always fresh and tasty. The couple that runs the villa are great people and know the good spots to hit in tamarindo.

STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE
for the first time of my life i’m doing a negative review
Concerning the small troubles
No refill shampoo and soap every day, we needed to ask it, no new bath towel everyday it stayed wet, A/C sounds like a truck in a room..... impossible to sleep with it, no one made the upstairs’s bed during my 3 days
Concerning the BIG TROUBLE
I let them know I stayed more time at tamarindo but not at this place !!!
The morning’s check out I had to drop my friend at the airport. The day before I let her know. I wasn’t on time at 11:00, I had less a hour of late
When I came back, I saw all my personal stuffs outside close to the hotel’s gate. Everyone could stole my passport, watch, sunglasses and suitcases ... I had no texts and no calls.
My holiday could turn into nightmare “She told me you are late .... now check out done ...”
No professional and so rude !!!!
I WILL NEVER RECOMMEND THIS PLACE
There are a lot of heaven’s place in tamarindo but definitly not this one

Total Rip Off, after driving a steep unpaved road, at $220 per night we got just the wall bracket with no TV, a noisy old AC that doesn’t cool, parking is outside on the street with no security, stiff bed with cheap linnen and a hard pillow with bumps inside, location is not walkble to anything, don’t waist your time and money, this is a total rip off at $220 per night for a bed in someone’s house, we got no sleep at all ;-( Owner refused to offer any compensation, worst hotel experience ever!

Just a few minutes to get to the beach. Gated housing so good for privacy and feels very safe. It is technically a bed and breakfast but there was no mention of breakfast upon arrival and I found out later that breakfast was not included. Clarification on that would've been helpful. Overall a good stay.

This is a bed and breakfast type of place that is run by a very kind and helpful French couple. It's a bit unclear where to park and how to get into the place at first, but once you're in, it's a beautiful 3 story building with a fantastic pool and patio area. They made us a perfect breakfast of French pastries and local fruit. The bed was amazing. Possibly the best bed we've ever slept on. The hosts pulled a map out to show us all the best restaurants in town...and they were great recommendations!
We'd definitely stay here again.

After having been in Tamarindo on vacation before and having stayed in other hotels, I can safely say that Villa Nautilus was the best place to stay!
Amazing atmosphere, clean room, gorgeous amenity area to relax and enjoy the pool. The owners are welcoming, informative and great people.
We had breakfast served by the pool one day. Easily the best breakfast we have ever had in Costa Rica. An easy walk to the beach, restaurants and convenience stores. I highly recommend Villa Nautilus and will be returning.

This Villa is a perfect if you want affordable and safe lodging near the beach with a personal touch. This property is owned and ran by a very friendly French couple. It's located just a few minutes walk away from the beach and all the Tamarindo restaurants and shops. The property is surrounded by a tall fence and locked gate, to which you get a key for access.
The breakfast each morning is made fresh for you with coffee, juice and fruit.
Our room was located just off the living room and kitchen area so we did hear some of the commotion of the French family but it was not overwhelming nor excessive -- and they do have a couple more isolated rooms on the first floor.
I would not hesitate to stay here again if we ever visit Tamarindo again.
