Recomiendo el alojamiento de Harry. Fue muy atento y amable. Lugar limpio y aireado. Valió la pena estar allí. No está muy cerca de la playa, pero puedes caminar hasta allí

Beautiful setting, but updates needed
Needs updating including power washing, painting, and new couch to replace very uncomfortable homemade couch/sofa bed. There needs to be a hand railing to get in and out of the pool. There also needs to be more unbroken chairs around the pool. The return walk from the beach or downtown is a 20 minute uphill walk. More suited for a person in very good shape. We overcame problem by using Uber. About five dollars. The setting around the pool is a very tranquil jungle foliage. There are many restaurants on the beautiful beaches to enjoy the gorgeous sunsets.

Fantastic host with a great place to relax before hitting the town
Harry is an incredible host as you can see by the other reviews. He is super responsive and went out of his way to make sure I enjoyed my stay. The cabinas have everything you need to enjoy Tamarindo and it's a 10 minute walk into town. A grocery store is even closer. The shared outdoor space is great for relaxing. Take a dip in the pool and lay on a water hammock before going to the top deck for sunbathing. Every once in awhile I heard construction noise and music from other properties but it wasn't loud and didn't last long. Harry is an incredible host and I loved his place so much that I booked a return trip before I left.

Good Vibes at Harry’s
Harry’s is about a 12 minute walk to the beach, and in a great spot that you are close enough to all the activity but can also escape it. Harry is a charming host and this is a fabulous place to crash

About the host

Hosted by Harry

Host profile image
In the beginning I came to Tamarindo Beach to take time off from skiing. A knee injury had forced me to leave my home in Whistler, B.C. to pursue other activities during the winter. I tried surfing while recovering here in Tamarindo and ended up preferring the waves over snow and the beach over the mountains. Over the years I've grown to love this small beach town and eventually decided to move down permanently. El Escondite means 'the Hideout' in Spanish and that was the start of Harry's hideaway.

Why they chose this property

The 'El Escondite' grounds was established in 2001 and over the years has been expanded, renovated and improved to keep up with needs of clients. The cabinas are Tico style with outdoor living kept in mind yet has all modern the conveniences expected from a quality hotel. Relax and hideout at this quiet, private and secluded villa.

What makes this property unique

Free use of surfboard and bicycles for all guests. The cabina has a flat screen HDTV's with access to the web and a media server that includes a large selection of surf movies as well as the latest featured films. A music and an ebook library is also available.
