I've stayed at Villa Flamenco Beach many times and have always had a great experience. I would recommend Apts 3, 4, & 6. Three and four have balconies facing the beach and 6 has a nice layout and good morning light. It's quiet and family owned and run.
Culebra Beach Villas is right next door. and I've heard good things about it. It's a larger place with more apartments.
Flamenco Beach is spectacular and even has snorkling if you are interested in that. There are also kiosks that sell food at the beach/camping area about 1/2 mile east of Villa Flamenco & Culebra Beach Villas. Publico's are available there to take you to town for 3$ each way.
I've visited Tamarindo and it was very nice. Good snorkling and real quiet. The beach there is not the white sand/postcard that you get at Flamenco.
About bicycles: You are only a couple of miles from town and it is a good option to rent one. It's up a hill that's not too bad and down the other side. Not a good plan at night - very dark! If you do rent a bike, plan on some sort of back pack to get groceries in town or you cold take a publico to do your shopping.
Best of luck. It's a great island to unwind.
