Top 10 Things to do Good for a Rainy Day in Tamarindo, Province of Guanacaste
Tamarindo is a prime spot for surfing and sportfishing, diving and sunning. Nesting leatherback turtles do their thing along the beaches from October to May and, for some nesting of your own, gorgeous beach houses, B&Bs and luxury hotels line the sunny sands. Shopping and dining options are superb and plentiful, perfect for sampling the true flavors of Costa Rica.

My son and I spent a fun afternoon making jewelry at one of Urban Eclectic Jewelry’s classes. We were able to select the piece we wanted to make and Tricia was great instructing us through the whole process. She is so patient and helps draw out your creativity. The store’s location is perfect in downtown Tamarindo.

EST.1998 High end clothing store with a unique customer service. We custom fit all garments to your own unique style and measurements. Think of us as your old school tailer in a modern setting. This service is only available in our flagship location in Tamarindo and of course it is invaluable when it comes to the most difficult piece in your closet; swimwear. Nothing like a custom fit bikini or one-piece. Our staff has years of training in finding you the most flattering cuts according to your body type. In addition we also offer a line of leather sandals and wedges designed by the owner Kata Kis.

I was in the market for a one-piece bathing suit and shopping around in Tamarindo. I stumbled across this shop and was in love with several of the fabrics, but the specific cut that I wanted didn't come in fabric I liked. So the owner of the store pulled some options. i wanted something dark -- even asked her for black at first. She pulled me out of that (she loves color, which shows in her designs!) and we landed on a dark velvet pattern with bronze accents. It's truly gorgeous. She worked with me on the price point a bit and what really blew me away is they promised to have the hand-made custom piece in less than 24 hours. When I got back to the store the next day, the suit fit perfectly. It was exquisite and I'm so glad to have it. I will order from them again online in the future, or next time I'm in Tamarindo! Highly recommend. Great handmade product and amazing customer service.

My sister and I visited in December 2019 and loved Lydia's boutique. We ordered custom paintings of our pets and a beach landscape with a profie of my children. The service and art were wonderful. I will cherish our purchases as a reminder of our time in Tamarindo. I would highly recommend the shop to visitors.

We did several classes here while were on vacation and I can't recommend it highly enough. Every class was so healing for both my body and soul. Mariel has such a comforting and calming personality the studio radiates good vibes. She was great about helping me modify positions to get the most out of the class. If you can only do one class try the Hatha! So so so good!

I found this wonderful shop during our recent stay in Tamarindo. The jewelry is absolutely stunning! They set aside a ring for me so that I could return the next day. When I purchased the first ring, I spotted a 2nd that I just couldn't get out of my head! I returned again another day and was SO happy to find it was still there. LOVE both pieces and will definitely be contacting them again to purchase more. Best shop in Tamarindo BY FAR!!!

Very nice and warm, beautiful hotel, friendly staff with fantastic view and surrounding. I would say 6 star hotel and hospitality in a level of it's own. Elegant through out. I was looking for the whole day of treatments and got an offer in the Lade-Spa Day Package - three really luxury treatments plus I enjoyed a FREE bottle of champagne - it was my birthday, so it was such a great additional gift from the hotel! (That was really generous of you. Thank you so much!!!) and then I had a delicious lunch prepared by their fantastic chef. Rather, I never give excellent grades because I think there is always room for improvement, but nothing more is required here! Excellent atmosphere and experience. The spa area has an excellent design and a beautiful resting area with an amazing ocean view. It was a wonderful experience, it was worth the admiration during the massages (among them - my favorite Lomi Lomi massage! The lady whose name is Cexni is really extremely gifted and she really knows what she is doing ... You can feel it.) The service was top-notch! It was absolutely lovely. They paid attention to every detail in the spa, restaurant and the grounds are gorgeous. They were also very patient with me. Thank you to all kind employees, management and owners. I will definitely come back there as soon as the next opportunity arrives. Once again, thank you for lovely moments and such wonderful memories... Highly recommended! Pura Vida!
