A haven for the arts since 2010, the Hidden Garden Art Gallery offers quality original art in many mediums. HG is the largest of its kind in Guanacaste, more than 60 artists on exhibit, and 15 rooms full of paintings, sculptures and diverse artistic expressions. The gallery has 3,500 square feet of wall space, and more than 400 pieces on display. Rooms are coordinated by styles, ranging from geometric abstraction, to typical art, to underwater images. The Gallery is also home to the permanent exhibits of our resident artist Carlos Hiller underwater scenes, Susan Adams, Rebeca Alvarado Soto and many more. Our location, designed with a marvelous architecture, is the perfect setting for our cultural center.

Brenda was a pleasure to work with! She was very patient with all of my thoughts and ideas, and used all of my feedback to put together a fantastic private sunset catamaran tour for my husband and I to celebrate our anniversary. Brenda also provided lots of great information for the Samara area, and even after our tour was over she continued to be very helpful and even passed along photos from the captain of the boat of our wonderful experience. If you are visiting the Samara area, I highly recommend reaching out to Brenda if you need help or have any questions at all! Her services are free, and she will go above and beyond to ensure you have a wonderful trip.

This was our first time in Tamarindo and first time at this church. Great sermon, great new building, friendly congregation and pastor teaches from the Bible. Perfect! We're here for a few more weeks and this will be our church while we're here.

We left this little shop with big smiles on our faces. Not only did we get some good deals, we also loved the owners Antonio and Valeria. Antonio speaks english fluently and is a very articulate gentleman. He took the time to chat with us about recent history of the area and he gave us some excellent advice about our planned visit to Palo Verde National Park. There is simply no substitute for local knowledge! Their young assistant, Diana, helps out in the store but also works in their little cafe and their adjoining outdoor restaurant. The shop is FULL of local handicraft items. They have a very nice variety of wood carvings, handicraft boxes, pottery, paintings, inexpensive jewelry and Costa Rican coffee. He generously offered us a 10% discount for paying cash even though we didn't ask. Prices in beach towns seem to be about 30 to 50% higher for comparable items. The shop is located on the main road between Liberia and the beach towns of Conchal, Brasilito, Playa Grande, Playa Flamingo and Palo Verde National Park and other tourist destinations west and south of Liberia. Stop in...you won't regret it!

Reviewed By sabsnyc - Hamburg, Germany
Every day around five the latest ( you can come here all day) it’s good to come to the beach and watch the sunset while having a beer or even better while jumping the waves . It’s a very natural kept beach so no typically white sand to sit . You will find yourself a small log to sit on. High tide is following the sunset so there wo t be no dry spot . Make sure you bring only a towel or secure your belongings up high. It’s definitely worth it!!!!

Wide extensive beach with volcanic sand, so on the darker side. The beach is kept tidy, as we witnessed staff collecting the debris and vegetation each day. We loved watching the pelicans diving for the fish. Fantastic how the hotels blend into the environment, rather than stand out. There is a lack of good restaurants if you haven't got a car, our hotel offered a restaurant that was ok (Bosque de la Mer). Aqua was a short walk down the beach and served excellent food and smoothies but I wasn't sure about walking down the beach in the dark. We went to Hotel del Sueno a couple times, the food was outstanding and a few minutes walk just up the road from our hotel.
