    You will need to take into consideration the cost of running A/C as you will need it… unless it is included in your utilities.
    But then, your rent will be higher….

    “EXPENSIVE” is a relative term, and living in Tamarindo is more expensive than some places and less expensive than others, and it all depends on your lifestyle.

    If you dine out a lot, it will definately be more expensive, at least until you find a few “local” places – and they really won’t be “local”, they will be outside of Tamarindo-proper. Like most places that solely depend on tourism, eating out will be costly. Similarly, to make it affordable, you’ll need to learn to go past the comfort of shopping at AutoMercado and find the less expensive stores.

    I don’t live in Tamarindo but I am there quite often and I can only speak from that experience, but on the whole I would say that Tamarindo would easily rank in the top 25-30% of places to live on the Pacific coast.

    You can buy anything you want in Tamarindo for any price you want to pay.
