Loved Pupa House!

I really loved my experience at Pupa House, and it really was that perfect accommodation for my tamarindo experience. Incredibly kind and helpful staff, delicious smoothies at their cafe, and a refreshing pool. Staying in a capsule hotel was a fun and new experience, even for someone like me who's a little tall 😂
