We had a great stay here. The condo was clean, comfortable and had what we needed. The beach chairs and umbrella were a wonderful addition. The owner was responsive, the condo attendants- parking guard and pool/lawn maintenance were both pleasant everyday. Very easy walking distance to beach and Main Street yet quiet. Definitely recommend this stay!
This property was perfect for our family of 4. The location was amazing and close to everything. it was a quiet complex and we thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Costa Rica. I would highly recommend this property.
Great visit. Great communication. Excellent location.

Thank you for your feedback, Amitraj. We’re glad you enjoyed the convenient location close to Tamarindo beach and town. We’re sorry to hear about the red ants and amenities not meeting your expectations. We wish you had mentioned this during your stay, as we would have been happy to address it right away. Our property team has been notified to ensure this is taken care of for future guests. We appreciate your comments and the opportunity to improve.
The check in instructions were clear and easy which is appreciated after having had many other rentals that seem to be a hassle to get into. The condo was clean and had a perfect setup for our family with a king bed and 2 singles plus 2 baths. The location is fantastic in close proximity to all Tamarindo has to offer - restaurants, shops, and beach. I would highly recommend!

Thank you for your review. We are glad you had a pleasant stay and look forward to hosting you in the future.
Property was very conveniently located; close enough to beach & shops to make going/coming several times a day super easy yet quiet in the evenings. Apt was comfortable enough for up to 4 adults, well appointed with extra towels and even beach towels and beach umbrella! A very nice touch. Communication with hosts was quick. Would definitely consider again next time we're in Tamarindo.

Thank you Ivette for your review. We are glad you enjoyed your stay and we welcome you and your group anytime!!!
This is a lovely condo with all amenities we required to enjoy our stay. The complex has a very nice pool. It's just a 5-minute walk to the beach and shopping. Saturday market is located just around the corner.
Tatiana & Manuel offered great tips and were very responsive to all our communications. Enjoy Tamarindo!

Gary and his family were great guests. They were easy going and understandable. They followed the rules of the apartment and we’re great communicators. Would definitely host them again! Thank you for staying in Balcones.
This truly is a hidden gem. The location is central to shops, restaurants and most importantly the beach! Despite its proximity to all that Tamarindo has to offer it was very quiet to sleep. The apartment is spacious and well equipped so we could cook some meals. A bonus is the king bed in the master bedroom and a second bathroom to not have to share with the kids. We made great use of the pool as well.

Didn't have hot water to begin the trip, but the owners were able to fix it when they received notice from us. When we arrived, there was a strange stain on one of the beds that soaked through to the mattress. They sent someone to wash the sheets.
Excellent location with a very short walk to the beach. Centrally located in the heart of the town, you can walk everywhere! Surrounded by shops and restaurants but quiet at the building. Well maintained pool and grounds. Three air conditioners so you can adjust the temperature in each room which was fantastic. Had everything you need for your stay - well equipped kitchen, beach towels and chairs. Very clean! Stayed here at the start of our trip and liked it so much returned again to stay for a second time. I would stay here again if I return to Tamarindo. Excellent response time from owner who offered advice about the area and things to do.
