La Oveja Negra Tamarindo Hostel & Surf Camp

La Oveja Surf House es nuestro destino cuando visitamos Tamarindo. Las bebidas son geniales y tocan música en vivo. Saluda a La Gemela, ¡gran servidor!

¡Realmente disfruté mi comida aquí! Los martinis de espresso eran excelentes y nuestra camarera Lorna fue muy cálida y amable.

Realmente no soy una persona que haga reseñas en línea, pero amo tanto este lugar que me sentí obligado. Mi familia siguió regresando a desayunar todos los días durante nuestras vacaciones.

¡La comida es deliciosa y el personal es súper amable y tiene aire acondicionado!

¡¡¡Consigue la Leche Dorada (Helada)!

También recomiendo todos los smoothie bowls, ¡especialmente el Jungle Bowl!

Este lugar tiene una vibra tan buena que vivimos la música en vivo, la variedad de opciones para sentarse (sillas columpios) y puedes jugar al billar si lo deseas. Comimos bistec y estuvo fenomenal. Normalmente me gusta probar lugares y comida nuevos, ¡pero estoy planeando otra noche allí!

Restaurante: Excelente hamburguesa vegetariana con una deliciosa hamburguesa a base de yuca. Las mejores papas fritas caseras en Tamarindo a un precio razonable. Yo recomiendo.

¡Fuimos a cenar allí un jueves por la noche! Excelente comida y buen ambiente con cantante. Servicio rápido a pesar del intenso tráfico. Yo recomiendo:)

Bon restaurant pour déjeuner et souper. Les repas sont bons. Le service et l’ambiance sont excellents. J’y retournerais sans hésiter.

Food was amazing, fresh and inventive. Nice space and ambiance overall. Friendly service. Highly recommend for anyone, there is something good on the menu to suit all.

La comida excelente, súper bien presentados los platos. Ambiente cool. El personal es amoroso y servicial. Excelente precio/calidad.

La comida es buenísima! Lo remodelaron y me parece excelente el ambiente y el wifi es muy bueno si quieres trabajar lo recomiendo!

I am reviewing the restaurant / cafe area (didn’t use the accommodation facilities) Very friendly staff and tasty + healthy food offered all in a roomy and tastefully decorated space. Camila behind the bar is always friendly and upbeat to everyone. Totally recommended.

We stopped in tonight for dinner and let me tell you, WOW! The food was amazing! We had the fries and mushroom as a starter and finished with the pork tacos and the steak sandwich. The food was all great but our favorite was definitely our server and our cocktails! I wish I got her name but she was a sweet young girl who we probably took too much of her time talking! We got the gin and grapefruit drink and holy moly was it good! Also the vibe of the restaurant was amazing! I love the decor!

Oveja has been our go-to in Tamarindo. Great spot - beautifully decorated, good food and excellent staff. Pablo, the Manager, is a super cool guy with great energy and always the most attentive. Thank you a great experience time and time again:)

I have always enjoyed coming to La Oveja for drinks and was surprised to find out how great the food was. It used to be a grungy place that made up for that with the fun vibe and cold drinks. It’s now nice enough that I don’t have to persuade new visitors of how great the food is! I do miss the old logo and ping pong table…

We went to La Oveja 3 times during our stay (coffee time, drinks and lunch) in Tamarindo. We really liked the vibe! The live shows in the evening’s were good and the lunch food options are great. Really recommend the place to chill and work from.

Restaurant review: excellent staff and the best live entertainment with authentic Latino music. The staff also kept an eye on our things and tucked my GF’s purse away after it was on a chair. Fantastic place- I would recommend to anyone in Tamarindo looking to start somewhere fun and safe.

Really great place to stay in town. Right next to the cleanest grocery store in town, as well as the best areas for nightlife. 5-minute walk to the beach, which is fine if you're not planning to surf all day every day. Best part is all the kind people working there, and the really pleasant atmosphere. It's friendly and homey, but still clean and running in a professional way. Random observations:

- If you can spring for the rooms with private bath, they really are quite nice. Poolside, clean, with all the advantages of a hotel, plus the advantages of a hostel, at a fair price. Can't recommend them enough.
- Receptionists Shana (night) and Shanina (day) are incredibly sweet and helpful. At check-in/check-out time, there's sometimes a wait, but you can always get something from the bar in the meantime.
- Food & service at the restaurant/bar are great, and the included breakfast for private rooms is generous. Melly at the bar is probably the kindest person you'll meet in Tamarindo, which is really saying something.
- The surfing instructors, led by Monica from California, are a total joy. Great lessons, even if you suck at surfing like me. Fair warning, there's a 5-minute walk to/from the beach while carrying the boards, as opposed to being right on the beach or having boards stored on the beach.
- Nice craft beer, from Numu, is on draft. Often you'll find the owners of the place behind the bar serving drinks and giving advice.
- Great AC in every room I stayed in.
- Tons of common space, you can always find a place to sit either among others or by yourself.
- The shared hostel bathroom, at least the men's, was the only weak point. A little raggedy, soap/paper towels were only present about half the time, and the showers only ever had cold water. Cold water is fine in the hot weather honestly, but I also stayed with a private bathroom and it had consistent hot water. Not a big deal, but just a heads up.

Overall, really glad this is where I stayed in Tamarindo. You can get a place that's more secluded at a smaller beach, but if you're looking to meet other people and enjoy the town of Tamarindo along with the beach, this really is the best place to be.

Lovely place with great location. Rooms were with AC. Bathrooms where cleans. Staff were super friendly. Restaurant with the best coffee. 100% Recommended.

Stayed in the private room. TV, AC and shower all worked without fault. Was very clean. Friendly staff. We had breakfast included and they had a wide variety of options to choose from. The hotel bar was very lively at night with live bands. Very good experience

Booked last minute for 5 nights at this hostel and was the best experience! Very clean, friendly staff, lively night life in the cafe with live music every night! Security was on point also, ensuring safety and comfort of all the guests. Great location also, with easy access to literally everything! Highly recommend! Thanks, Wences, hasta luego!
