This was our second time to Costa Rica and our first to Tamarindo. It's a beautiful place with amazing people. The location of the Sunrise was perfect - across the street from the beach with great surfing and walkable to seemingly endless restaurants and shops. The people at the Sunrise were very friendly and the facilities, especially the pool, were perfect for our family. The room was very nice and clean and had an amazing view of the ocean. The only downside we ran into was that the main suite windows faced the beautiful view and pool, but we're paper thin from a noise perspective. Most of the time that was great because you could hear the waves and nature, but when people, especially loud college age kids or early risers speaking at full volume, on their balconies, it was like they were standing outside your open window. But overall great! We had an amazing time. Pura Vida!
