Despite what you may have heard about the types of people who visit Playa Tamarindo, keep in mind that many sorts of people populate the town, beyond spring breakers, honeymooners and long-term partiers. Long-term students, working students, and interns walk side-by-side with older expatriates and people well on their way to becoming the next expatriate. The Costa Rican visitor vacation-length regulations are relatively lax; making long term stays relatively easy.
