El Milagro Hotel & Restaurant 

What to do

EL MILAGRO lies on a country road. You'll find a shower and delicious meal awaiting you, adult and children's swimming pools, terraces and endless rest, calm and tranquility. For action we take you to the water: we surf or water-ski on the waves of the Pacific, fish our own lunch or dinner, or take a dive into Neptune's kingdom and understand world-famous Cousteau's deep-sea passion. We hike into Parque Nacional to the black, white and red mangrove morasses. We meet a raccoon and a howling monkey on our way, hear and see the white ibis, the silver heron and the pink spoonbill. At night entrench ourselves at Playa Grande and observe the leather back turtle laying her eggs.

Parasailing, cycling, horseback riding, enjoying a cocktail at a beach stand, swaying to the salsa - there are numerous ways to relax at Playa Tamarindo.

If you want to be where nature overwhelms in a hundred different shades of green with splashes of red and ochre; where the roads are unpaved and the vegetation provides natural parasols and umbrellas; where the red-blood sun sinks into the sea and motionless iguanas stare at you from less than half meter, then you must come to Playa Tamarindo. A large variety of Eco systems exit at Playa Tamarindo where nature is more important than infrastructure but with the unassuming decadence of disco and casino on hand.

If, after experiencing sufficient physical exertion and absorbing new impressions, you want to dive into a swimming pool, have a shower and a sleep in a comfortable bed, then you have come to the right place at EL MILAGRO.

Our conical houses with balcony provide the necessary comfort so that you are ready to meet the challenges of the new day either peacefully fishing, conquering the waves or out catching nature at the best.
If the sea, tropical rainforests, a kingdom rich in colors together with the safety afforded in Costa Rica appeal to you - be it European style with a continental breakfast, or where can appreciate Italian, French and Mexican food - then there is just one place for you and that is EL MILAGRO.

Like many other portions of the Pacific and Atlantic coasts of Costa Rica, Tamarindo and it´s surrounding beaches have a place in the World Map of Surfing.  In detail, Tamarindo has two point breaks: Pico pequeño or small peak is a coral reef break right in front of Tamarindo beach and El Estero or The Esturary, which is an excellent beach break.   One kilometer south of Tamarindo we find Playa Langosta, that has a point break that switches from right to left, making swirls at end right at the outlet of a small river.  Approximately 10 km south the surfer can find another excellent point break:  playa Avellanas.  There you can have fun with a big, concave lefty wave.  Traveling 5 km more to the south you find Playa Negra, one of the best places for surfing in Costa Rica and the world, with exceptionally fast waves. 15 km to the North you can also find Playa Grande, that has a point break you can access via land.  Following North you can enjoy one of the best places that exist in Costa Rica to surf: a point break mysteriously called Roca Bruja or Witch Rock located in Playa Naranjo in the Santa Rosa National Park.
