A little hard to find within Tamarindo. Nice little rooms. The room we had reserved had non-working AC. Luckily, they had another room available with working AC. Rooms and beds were clean. Matresses were very hard. I'm a side sleeper and can sleep pretty much anywhere, anytime. I woke up many times during the night with hip discomfort, kind of... More

My husband and I had a wonderful time during our stay at the hotel. We met nice guests there too. Cecile is such a kind, wonderful and helpful host. She arranged all the tours/events for us. We had fun time at Tamarindo. The hotel is clean. 6 rooms total; each has a safe, a small fridge, AC, ceiling fun, closet,... More

Hotel Mahayana has everything you need, very clean, relaxing and off the busy main road of Tamarindo. Its only a 5 minute walk into town to all restauants and bars. Cecile is very helpful and accommodating and helped us out in any way that she could - she organized a taxi to pick us up at the airport for a... More

My friend and I stayed a full week at Hotel Mahayana. It felt like a home away from home for our Tamarindo vacation. Very quiet and clean and Cecile was a wonderful hostess. It feels as though you are a guest in her house rather than staying at a hotel. Loved her cute dog Maya as well. We would highly... More

What a wonderful getaway spot! Off the main strip, but absolutely private and peaceful. Cecile, the owner, is very helpful and kind.

The hotel is exceptionally clean and each room has AC, a fridge, safe, and private bathroom. Because... More

Mahayana hotel is one of the nicest and friendliest place i stay on my wonderful travel through beautiful Costa Rica. It would be far from this without brave,lovely and friendly owner Cecile.

A lovely little place a little off the main drag which means its quiet and that is nice in Tamarindo! The private rooms are simple but have AC and hot water. The real highlight is Cecile who could not have been more welcoming or helpful. Thank you.

Cecile, the owner, is a great host and very helpful. Prior to our arrival she already wanted to make sure that we arrived safely, she was very supportful throughout the stay. The hostel is set up in a U-shape and allows for good contact with the other guests. The patio in the middle holds a jacuzzi and a kitchen. The... More
