Tamarindo is a tourist beach town. It's a very very different place compared to those I saw earlier in my trip. It had a lot of drinking nights in Tamarindo! It's a party scene with lots of night life and surfing vibes.
To be totally honest, I actually preferred Heredia to Tamarindo. The touristy thing really isn't my scene as I get older. I ended up only stayin 3 nights because I got bored of the drug dealers and expensive dining options
I learnt Pickleball there. It was fun. Also Salsa classes at Bouteille de leche
I'd love to learn Spanish properly, I know enough to get by and can roughly understand it but am not the greatest conversationalist so this sounds great. I find the South and Central American accents so much easier to understand that European Spanish. It sounds like a great experience!
