Which area of Tamarindos should you choose based on your type of trip?
If you’ve already decided to spend your beachfront vacation in Peñíscola, you’ve probably encountered a question that isn’t as obvious as it seems: Tamarindos has four distinct areas—A, B, C, and D—each with its own unique character. Traveling with young children is quite different from seeking a peaceful getaway for two, and traveling with your dog is different from booking for two families who want to stay close together during their vacation. Here’s how to determine which area best suits each type of trip, so you arrive in Tamarindos knowing exactly what to expect from your apartment.
If you are traveling as a family with small children
When the little ones rule the itinerary, what is most valued is the proximity to the play areas, the children’s pool and that feeling of a closed and safe area where they can move freely without you having to be attentive all the time.
The apartments in Zone A are designed precisely for that: they are close to the swimming pool with a children’s area and the park, and the extensive green area with palm trees means that children have plenty of space to play while adults rest in the shade. If it also coincides with the children’s entertainment season, the closeness is even more appreciated at the end of the day.
If you are looking for tranquility as a couple
Some trips are the complete opposite of family-friendly entertainment: they aim to disconnect, sleep in, and enjoy a more intimate space designed for two. For these getaways, the penthouses or second-floor apartments in Zones C and D are ideal. These smaller apartments—one bedroom in the penthouses and two smaller double bedrooms in the second-floor apartments—are especially suited for couples who don’t need extra space and prefer a peaceful atmosphere without sacrificing proximity to the sea and its views.
If you’re bringing a pet
Pets are welcome at Tamarindos—in fact, the first pet stays free if you book directly through our website—but it’s important to choose the right apartment so that both you and your four-legged friend can enjoy your stay to the fullest. The most practical option is to look for a first-floor apartment, available in all areas (A, B, C, and D), as these have a fence enclosing the terrace.
Furthermore, just 850 meters from the resort you’ll find Playa el Barranquet, a fine sandy beach designated for dogs where you can enjoy the sea year-round. Before booking, please check the updated pet policy on the Family Tourism Pets page.
If you are a large group or two families traveling together
When traveling in a group —grandparents, uncles, cousins, or two families who want to share a vacation without giving up having their own space— what matters most is the capacity and the possibility of booking apartments close to each other.
Para estos casos, lo más recomendable son las plantas bajas, al no tener escaleras y contar con salida directa a la zona común, facilitan mucho la vida cuando viajan varias generaciones o dos familias juntas para que los más pequeños puedan moverse de un apartamento a otro sin cruzar toda la urbanización.
In summary
There is no “best” area in Tamarindos, there is the combination of area and plant that best suits how you travel:
- Families with children → Zone A, near the children’s pool and park.
- Couples and quiet getaways → penthouses (one bedroom) or second floors (two smaller double bedrooms) in Zones C and D.
- Travelers with pets → first floor, available in all areas, with fence and enclosed terrace.
- Large groups or several families → ground floor units in Zones B, C and D; available in all zones, by reserving several nearby units.
