Yield Comparison
Tamarindo vs Nosara
Winner
Nosara
Nosara's higher ADR ($210 vs $175) more than compensates for its higher entry price, producing stronger absolute net income.
Analysis
Tamarindo and Nosara serve different traveler profiles: Tamarindo is the accessible, high-volume surf-and-nightlife market; Nosara is the premium, lower-volume wellness and surf destination. Despite lower occupancy (69% vs 76%), Nosara's higher ADR produces more gross revenue on similarly priced properties. Management fees are also slightly higher in Nosara (20–28% vs 20–25%), which narrows but does not eliminate the advantage. Entry prices are higher in Nosara ($400K vs $280K), making Tamarindo the better choice for lower-capital buyers.
