Great location, safe, hot showers, great kitchen!

We had a great stay with 3 adults and 2 teenagers. Was very close walking distance to shops and beach. Had great, hot showers, which are evidently not common in Costa Rica. Awesome spot right by the pool, and the pool felt great! The only recommendation I would have is that the TVs would have access to Netflix or something so you could choose to watch something other than what was on the television.

Perfect location in Tamarindo!! Ideal for families.

We just returned from a magical week in Costa Rica, and this property was ideal!! The location is perfect in every way - on the ground floor of a beautiful gated condo complex (no stairs!) in the heart of Tamarindo. Bounce out the patio door directly to the pool (complete with waterfall) or continue a few steps to the beach. Easy walking to all shops and restaurants so you won't need a car (but there is a private dedicated parking spot directly out front if you decide to rent one). The unit is impeccably clean and beautifully furnished with a well-equipped kitchen and newer washer/dryer. The set up could not have been more ideal for our family of four (our kids are 10 and 5). There is a small market right next door with all of the essentials. We loved having the option to cook for our picky littles and the ability to wash sandy clothes without paying outrageous hotel laundry fees. We will be back!!

Safe, well- furnished, and close to everything!

We were very happy with our stay at Sunrise, the unit we stayed in was on the ground floor and had a nice barbeque which was lovely for poolside meals. The beach was very close, and we had breakfast at a few restaurants right outside the gate. The beds were very nice, furniture looked new, and we felt comfortable and safe with the security staff at the front of the area. Would definitely recommend, and we plan to come back again next year!

Fantastic stay in the heart of Tamarindo!

We had a fantastic stay in this Tamarindo Sunrise condominium! From our first contact with the owner, Bonnie, to our check-out, everything was superb! The unit is clean, comfortable and well equipped (kitchen, pool gear, beach towels, TVs, etc). The location in the heart of Tamarindo makes going out to restaurants, cafes, shops, grocery, pharmacy, activities - really anything - a breeze. The dedicated parking space is invaluable. Ground floor location allows walkout to patio with grill and immediate access to the beautiful and private pool. The beautiful beach is a few minutes walk. The owner's recommendations of restaurants and things to do were excellent! We whole heartedly recommend staying here. We plan to return!

Amazing Stay!

The property was very clean, had security, close to every shop, restaurants, and across the street from the beach! The host had a great list of restaurants and things to do which made our first time in Tamarindo easy to navigate and plan. There is also an in unit washer/dryer which was great. The pool was lovely. Highly recommend!

Less than ideal

Location is great-we have stayed at various units in Tamarindo Sunrise over the past 9 years. Some units are really nice and others are average, appearing as if the owners reinvest little into the unit. This unit is the latter of those two options. The safe could not be used however the owner and manager were willing to have their staff access our room for a few hours to fix. After one of the workers was there for over an hour with little progress, we decided to forego having them attempt to replace the safe-not ideal but neither is having strangers in your room leaving the front door wide open while you are at the beach. One of the burners of the stove didn’t work and the dishwasher repeatedly overflowed suds onto the floor. We don’t expect perfection, but if you are aware as the owner, of certain issues they should be fixed. It also appears that there might be a termite issue around several of the door frames as something is either eating them away or they are rotting. Walls are very dirty and in severe need of painting. This unit could be really nice, but on our next trip, we will be certain to book a different unit or stay at the Diria Condos altogether. On a positive note, the outdoor grill was great and worked perfectly. Overall I give this place a C-.

Best location in Tamarindo

The location could literally not be any better. 2 minute walk to the beach and downtown restaurants, yet the facility has security and is completely set back from any of the noise. Bonnie was kind enough to make some dinner reservations and warned us that it is the busiest week of the year. The restaurants were great and the staff treated us as heroes for being "friends of Bonnie's". Can't wait to return.

Perfect location in Tamarindo

This location was perfect for our family of 4. It is a short walk across the street to the public beach access, lots of restaurants and shops to walk to as well. Everything I needed was in the kitchen, and there were plenty of fluffy towels for both the shower and the beach. The washer and dryer were larger and seemed brand new - this was a plus for washing the towels mid week and not having to pack as many clothes. We would definitely recommend this place to anyone. Oh I almost forgot to mention being on the first floor was perfect, we could walk out right to the pool that is literally a few feet from the patio. The patio is also shaded at all times of the day, which is perfect for breakfast, lunches, etc. Received lots of great information from the owner and she was very responsive to all my questions and suggestions. Thanks!

Excellent

We loved staying at this property. Excellent communication between both property manager and owner. Excellent location: across the street from beautiful beach and close to many stores and restaurants. Beautiful pool. Very clean (and we are picky with cleanliness). Owner very responsive to suggestions to replace a couple of minor items. We would return to this property in a heartbeat (family of 6: parents, and 4 kids ages 19, 16, 12, and 8.) My daughters wanted me to add that the highlight for her at this property was seeing the 2 adorable kitties that visited us everyday on our patio. She cried saying goodbye to them again.

Fourth Time in the Sunrise

This is one of if not the nicest condos that we stayed in at the Sunrise Condos in Tamarindo. Huge bonus for being on the first floor with easy access to the pool and parking area. We checked in slightly before 3 and the maids were still working. They did a great job and came back twice during our 11 day trip. Furnishing were in great shape and we had a comfortable bed. Wifi worked perfect. No complaints. Will definitely try to book Sunrise 13 again.
