This 5 star luxury boutique hotel & spa is truly a gem. With only 5 guest rooms, the 26-acre estate is impeccably maintained and intimately managed. From the moment you book it’s like interacting with friends that genuinely care about your experience and have pride in their property. Those types of experiences are not always easy to come by. Los Altos de Eros is also well regarded for its spa, which integrates the jungle surroundings with open-air treatment rooms and hot tub facilities. Since the property is up on a hill in Costa Rica’s beautiful jungle terrain, the hotel offers complimentary rides down to the beaches of Tamarindo any time you like. Just 15 minutes away, the Tamarindo beaches are world famous for their surfing. They also have plenty of calmer sections for those looking to lounge around. The food at the hotel is top notch, but the town is also fun to check out with some great restaurants and lots of fresh fruits and fish.
Tamarindo is also home to one of the best beach bars in the world, Lola’s. Named after the ginormous pig (we’re talking 400 lbs here) that roams around the bar and wades into the surf, Lola’s has long been a favorite spot for surfers, tourists, and locals alike. Shaded by mangrove trees, the bar’s beautifully carved wood loungers and delicious rum cocktails are enjoyed atop the golden sands of Playa Avellenas. Life doesn’t get much better than a stay at Los Altos de Eros and a visit (or two or three) to Lola’s.
