Tamarindo Condos and Tamarindo hill Houses

This is a closer view of yesterday's scene, taken with a zoom lens. The white building is the Pacific Park condo. I would prefer that they had used an earth tone that does not stand out so much. You can see that some people like to have houses up on the hills to get a nice view of the ocean, although they cannot walk to the beach.


The radio tower on the top of the hill is a nice place from which to watch the sunset over the bay, and tourists can take ATV tours up there.

The tan colored building on the left are the condo buildings at the Diria Resort complex right on the middle of Tamarindo beach. One of our two condos is on the fourth floor of that building. It is very popular with guests who want to be in the middle of town and to have access to the amenities of a resort.

In Market of Tamarindo


We took a small boat across the estuary today into the town of Tamarindo
. We were immediately bombarded by street vendors that were all trying to sell jewellery, pottery or clay whistles. This man stopped us outside the back machine (what a coincident) and started showing us his pottery. He continued to unpack almost every piece from his heavy backpack. We ended up purchases a few pieces from him (I don't know if it was because of guilt, or if it was because they were all so unique or beautiful). We each ended up with a sugar bowl with lid, plus Heather bought a candle holder and I bought a beautiful bowl. I purchased a few more things that I will have to leave a secret (my kids will be reading this).

Hilton Garden Inn at the Liberia Airport


Several years ago this Hilton Garden Inn opened up across the street from the Liberia Airport. I am sure that it is used by all of the airplane crews. Before this opened, the nearest upscale accommodations would be at beach resorts about 45 minutes away.

Some of the departing flights to the USA leave as early as 7:00 am, so some tourists prefer to go to this hotel the evening before departure so that they do not have to make an early morning drive to the airport.
