“The apartment at the top of the building is very nice with a great view and outdoor balcony. The beach is a short walk from the apartment building. In addition to long walks on the beach, we enjoyed riding the waves on a body board a lot. The Tamarindo beach is thought by some to be the best in the country, with the waves being manageable, lots of restaurant's beach-side and glorious sunsets, We ate at home mostly, there are several grocery stores nearby, and if you have a car you can drive to some good grocery stores, There are a lot of local restaurants which to choose from, we had a favorite by the beach where we would have coffee and breakfast after doing an early morning walk on the beach. Rent a Jeep so you can explore the countryside as Costa Rica is about nature. Martyn will have lots of pointers on things to do, ”
