Fodor's Expert Review Tamarindo Estates

A few of the one- and two-bedroom cottages at this 60-acre estate, hidden away on Culebra's western coast, sit directly on a long, sandy beach; most cottages, however, are a bit farther inland, though they have great coastal views from covered verandas. Each unit has a full kitchen and bath. There's also a shared beach house with showers and other amenities, including a pool with an oceanfront deck. The waters of nearby Luis Peña Channel are perfect for snorkeling, and it's about a 10-minute drive to Flamenco Beach.
