Villa Alegre (private & shared baths, hot water, ceiling fans or air conditioning) is an oasis of peace & tranquility. Behind its high white walls, the friendly, helpful owners, have created a
Spacious yet welcoming retreat with a lovely pool and rooms furnished with fabric and art from their worldwide adventures. Their gourmet breakfasts, served on the terrace, are memorable, as is the untouched stretch of Playa Langosta that fronts the villa. Group rates are available for small workshops or seminars. Some rooms are wheelchair accessible.

A very cool bed & breakfast choice which overlooks Langosta is Villa Alegre B&B. Come here and you’ll want to sell it all and open your own in Costa Rica. Hosts Barry & Suzye, a couple from LA area did just that. When you meet Barry you will know from his grin that he scored.
They built their paradise just south of the hustle and bustle of Tamarindo, and they’ve done a fantastic job. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, each with a different theme. The patio and pool face the surf so you can check out Langosta throughout the day. Whether you are traveling with buddies, your honey or your family (kids can stay down the hall), you will get totally stoked at Villa Alegre B&B.

"Home never looked this good, though Suzye and Barry Lawson make their guests feel like family at Villa Alegre. Their seven guest rooms and villas are as individualist as the owners, who decorated each room with treasures gathered during their travels. The Guatemala suite is filled with vivid tapestries; the pale blue-and-white California room has a patio with ocean view. Some villas are large enough for families, rooms with shared bath are perfect for solo travelers, and some rooms are fully equipped for disabled travelers (an unusual and thoughtful touch). Guests gather in the living room and select books and games from the exyensive library, lounge on the lawns beside the pool. or stroll over the beach, where hermit crabs and starfish hide in the tide pools. Breakfast(included in the expensive rate) is a lavish affair, and guests are encouraged to help themselves to cool drinks from the "fridge in the main kitchen. The Lawsons keep a huge notebook filled with restaurant menus, tour brochures and other information on the area, and are eager and enthusiastic activity directors."
