FAQ
Is Tamarindo's lower ADR growth a concern?
Not necessarily — 11.8% growth on a mature market is healthy. Tamarindo's 75% annual occupancy is the highest in our tracked markets, meaning investors earn more by keeping rates full rather than chasing peak ADR.
What property types perform best in Tamarindo?
2-bedroom condos in walkable beach areas consistently outperform. Proximity to the beach, surf breaks, and restaurant strip (Paseo del Mar area) commands a 15–25% ADR premium over comparable inland units.
