We absolutely loved our stay at Refugio Hotel. From the moment we arrived, we felt completely at home. The atmosphere has such a great vibe—relaxed, welcoming, and beautifully maintained.
The staff was amazing and truly made the experience special with their kindness and attention to detail. The food was incredible, and every meal exceeded our expectations.
Everything was very clean and well cared for, and the location is perfect. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

Restaurant was amazing, monkeys over the roof in the trees, fun music at night. Only complaint is the loud music from all the surrounding venues.

We spent two nights here and had an outstanding experience. Big thanks to Augustin and his amazing staff. Communication was excellent and we had no issues during our stay. Easy walk to the beach. Breakfast was delicious. Highly recommend the omelette and avocado toast! Really enjoyed the live music as well.
Thank you for memorable stay.

Probably the best complimentary/included breakfast that I’ve had at a hotel. Great location close to to everything. Little oasis in the middle of the town.

The team at Refugio was incredibly helpful and informative. We got help booking tours before we even got to the hotel. The hotel is very central, with easy access to the beach, shops, restaurants and clubs.
The restaurant has a great menu. Highly recommend the cocktails!

Great vibes, location and breakfasts! Agustin was super helpful sending through all the information we needed before we arrived and giving lots of recommendations, including nearby beaches which we wouldn’t have known about. Agustin and all the staff were really friendly and made us feel welcome. There is noise (music) but to be expected and ear plugs are provided for anybody who needs them.

Wonderfully helpful staff, well air-conditioned rooms, and the included breakfast has several options and is delicious! It is unfortunate that the neighboring business is quite loud at night, but given the relatively low cost for a location so close to central Tamarindo, it was worth the price. Take care not to keep food in the room though, with no fridge or storage areas the ants will find it VERY quickly.

I’m so glad I found Refugio Lodge for my stay in Tamarindo! From the moment I booked, I felt like more than just a guest—Agustin and the team made me feel like a friend. Agustin was amazing with communication, always available to chat, offer great local recommendations, help with booking shuttles or anything else I needed. The entire staff was warm, welcoming, and genuinely cared about making sure we had a great experience.
The cafe is the morning gathering space where you’ll always find amazing coffee — roasted on site, and a delicious breakfast. Afternoons and evenings feature live music, flowing drinks at the bar, and dancing into the night.
The lodge itself has a really heartwarming origin story behind it—definitely ask about it when you visit! And as a bonus, the sweetest cat named Pega lives on site and loves greeting guests. I loved here so much that I actually got a tattoo of her before I left for home!
I’m already looking forward to coming back with friends and family. Refugio Lodge is truly a gem in Tamarindo, don’t miss it. Pura vida!

Great property, they were very helpful and knowledgeable about surrounding places to see! Agustin helped us greatly when our shuttle out of Tamarindo canceled 5 hours before and managed to find an alternative for us! Overall, very easy to walk anywhere in town from Refugio. Expect some noise at night but they offer earplugs and truthfully it never was bad enough to need them
