Analysis

Both Flamingo and Tamarindo are mature rental markets with 9–12% gross yields. The key difference is trajectory: Flamingo's ADR is growing at more than double Tamarindo's pace, driven by the marina expansion and constrained luxury supply. Tamarindo offers more stable baseline occupancy (76% vs 74%) and lower entry prices ($280K vs $320K median), making it the lower-risk choice. Flamingo offers more upside if ADR growth sustains.
