Villa Alegre Bed and Breakfast

In Tamarindo, visitors can find beach bars, disco, dancing on the weekends, and even a couple of casinos. Balanced with this nighttime entertainment is a large selection of daytime tourism activities. Visitors can charter fishing or sailing boats for a trip out on the water. They can paddle through mangrove estuaries on a kayak, and they can go wildlife-watching on a lazy raft.

For those interested in scuba diving or snorkeling, the Catalina Islands make a great day trip. There's also mountain biking, horseback riding, and 2 major golf courses within a short drive: Hacienda Panilla and Playa Conchal. Nearby protected areas with hiking include the Tamarindo Wildlife Refuge and Palo Verde National Park. Santa Rosa National Park to the north is unique as the largest remaining tropical dry forest.

Amidst this active region, the Spanish-style Villa Alegre is located within steps of the Pacific Ocean on the far south end of Playa Tamarindo very close to the tranquil Playa Langosta, and it offers a relaxing and luxurious retreat. The hosts, Barry and Suzye, are here fulfilling their lifetime dream of living on the beach in paradise. Each morning they serve a gourmet breakfast on the veranda with freshly brewed coffee from the hills of Costa Rica.

Guests at Villa Alegre can enjoy relaxation in the shaded poolside ranchero, or they can spend their downtime in a large living room with a library, games, and music selection. The rooms feature unique and individual designs with an international flare. They have private bathrooms and a private patio area. The Villas have their own kitchenette for guests who would like to prepare meals. Otherwise, it's easy to stroll to nearby restaurants with international cuisine or to rent a scooter and zip around town.
