The place is EXACTLY what we expected it to be and would stay there again for sure.

Pros: The hotel was lovely and provided everything we needed - pool, restaurant, security, good location etc.

Cons: The only \

A very nice stay!

Pros: Beautiful hotel in the middle of the bustling Tamarindo, feels like a tropical escape. You can come from a busy day out and feel super relaxed as soon as you are here. The food was really nice and the staff were really helpful and friendly. They gave us an extra treat for our honeymoon and made swans out of the towels and put a bottle in our room with a happy honeymoon message!

Cons: The room itself was a little basic and didn’t really look like the pictures, the decor of the room could do with updating. But other than that we don’t have a bad word to stay!

Lovely relaxing surroundings to relax at the end of our 2 week road trip in beautiful Costa Rica.

Pros: Loved the green, lush plants surrounding the pool area and sitting here enjoying it from our breakfast table too. Staff lovely. Good short walking distance to beach & shops.

Cons: Maybe just close proximity to road/noise but that comes with being centrally located so it wasn’t a surprise.

Pros: Location was excellent, prices for food & drinks was also good! The lady in reception was amazing, we had a great stay!

Cons: The guy behind the bar had 'cantbebothered-itis' & a bad attitude. The shower was a bit rubbish but the comfy bed made up for it!

Best stay in Tamarindo

Pros: location excellent for the beach and all amenities. The accommodation was clean, well equipped and comfortable and, unusual for CR, everything worked. The staff without exception were happy, cheerful and very accommodating - and it has a very good, reasonably priced, resturant/ bar. What more to say except well done.

Cons: The negative reviews posted a year ago which do not reflect the standard of the hotel or our experience.

Lovely area, staff amazing, breakfast and room maintainance needs improving

Pros: Lovely area, so close of the beach, Staff kind and helpful.

Cons: Breakfast poor, portions laughable on the ‘continental breakfast’ - one sausage cut in half + 1 small potato cut into 3 and 2 eggs, honestly thought they were playing a joke on us …but turns out that’s what they offered … the burritos were much better in size and taste however Room cleaned daily however stayed for 8 nights and only had bed changed once ok the last night… with the suncream and hot weather + significant number of ants that appeared over the day via the bathroom we felt it definitely needed changing much earlier, to be honest this would have made the stay much better.
