Each room has an electronic safe. Although we trust all of our employees, and that Tamarindo is a safe place, we always suggest that you keep your valuables locked. It is not necessary to keep your physical passport on you at all times, so keep it locked in the safe as well. A copy of your passport will suffice as well.
Unless you are one of those surfers who are more attached to their board than their girlfriend, we suggest you unstrap that umbilical cord of a leash and save yourself the hassle (and the cash) of bringing down your own board. If you stay 4 days or more with us you can rent a board for free. If you stay less than 4 days you will get a huge discount.

Most of the public water in Costa Rica is potable. The BEST WESTERN Tamarindo Vista Villas is connected directly to Tamarindo’s public water system, so by law, our water must be potable. With that being said, you must always be aware of locations that do not have a public water connection. This especially applies to some of Costa Rica’s more remote locations, because they depend on their own private well systems for water. Sometimes these water systems are not properly treated or maintained, so as a golden rule, when in doubt, drink bottled water.
Tamarindo has a number of both private and public medical centers. The town also includes 4 pharmacies and an emergency response service.
