Offering an extensive garden with an outdoor lounge area, a shared living room with TV and swimming pool, Hostel La Botella de Leche is located 300 metres from Tamarindo Beach.

Hostel La Botella de Leche is 5 minutes’ walk from Tamarindo town centre and 1 hour’s drive from Daniel Oduber International Airport. I liked that the property was close to the downtown Tamarindo and the beach and of course the pool. Btw, her receptionist Ailén was so kind and friendly. Thank so much.
