The bed was a bit hard for me, but the rest of the family liked it

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Favela Chic, and I felt compelled to share my exceptional experience at this incredible property. First and foremost, I must commend Jesse, the host, for his outstanding hospitality. Despite our last-minute reservation, Jesse went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, adding an extra layer of warmth to our visit and setting the stage for a truly memorable stay. In the process of selecting our accommodation, I scoured the reviews to make sure they aligned with our expectations. One particular review caught my attention, where a previous guest described the Bungalows as "generic" and compared them to a "Quonset hut." However, after experiencing Favela Chic firsthand, I find it necessary to respectfully disagree and offer a more accurate portrayal. Contrary to the "generic" label, Favela Chic stands out as anything but ordinary. The grounds are meticulously maintained, creating a relaxing environment that seamlessly blends with the lush foliage surrounding and intertwining with the area. The overall atmosphere is charming and relaxing. Addressing the comparison to a "Quonset hut," I found this description to be grossly inaccurate. The Bungalows at Favela Chic are not only structurally unique but also boast tasteful decorations and have full, well-equipped kitchens. There is even a housekeeper that will come by daily if you wish, changing out sheets and towels. The attention to detail in the design and the fantastic service that you don't see at other properties, significantly adds to the overall charm of the accommodations, dispelling any notions of generic or mundane accommodations. In conclusion, my stay at Favela Chic was nothing short of wonderful, and I felt compelled to provide a more accurate perspective in light of the prior review.

Nothing. It was absolutely wonderful.

Beautiful and very peaceful place

Responsive host, pleasant staff. This property is a set of five bungalows which are more like half a Quonset hut, which means no windows at all on one full side. This is needed because they are very close to each other, alongside a narrow pool, with a high fence (covered in greenery) around the lot just a few feet away in each direction. Bungalow 5 is the one with the most privacy. Decent kitchen, with cooktop, microwave, toaster, etc. Nescafé coffee machine instead of a coffee maker, would prefer Britt, like we usually get in CR. Lots of air freshener and fabric softener use—not a good fit if you are sensitive to that. The pool area is pretty small; luckily we were the only ones there. Big house next door has high ceilings so you can hear them talking, unfortunately.

Know what you are getting: a reasonably comfortable, generic Airbnb that has no views and could be anywhere, once you are inside. But it is very close to Playa Langosta, which a good handful of restaurants and a grocery very nearby. It’s just not quite as boutique as I expected from the listing photos. This will be the best fit for someone who doesn’t intend to spend much time hanging at the property but would like to be able to cook dinners. Air con is strong, WiFi is good. Beds not great but fine.

Very nice little pool area. The units are very well equipped, very clean and spacious. A few nice places to eat close by in playa langosta. El Sapo pizza, surf club and the new bakery pandeli are brilliant. Around 20mins walk to the centre of tamarindo or around $5 in a Uber. All the information supplied by the staff for things to do in the area and info regarding the property was very helpful and any questions where answered promptly.

Friendly and attentive staff. It was spacious, clean, and secluded with everything you need for a long, comfortable, relaxed stay. One of the best places I have ever stayed. Jesse was awesome and Ana was kind and thoughtful.

Nothing
