The Differences Between Tamarindo and Langosta

Sueno del Mar is located in Playa Langosta, a quiet town set just outside of Playa Tamarindo.  Tamarindo is known to be a busier town with more people and activities but that’s why we feel like we have the best of both worlds at our Bed & Breakfast.  

When you want quiet time, hang out on one of our beachfront lounge chairs or take a dip in the pool.  Feeling more social?  Go into town and check out the nightlife.  Bars and restaurants offer different themes at night – reggae, salsa and karaoke to name a few!

Our beachfront hotel in Playa Langosta is the perfect setting for your next Costa Rican vacation.
