I stayed at this hotel and really appreciated the great location—it’s right in the heart of Tamarindo and just a short walk to the beach! The staff was incredibly friendly and went out of their way to help us. However, I found the rooms were a bit small for our needs, especially since we were near the busy breakfast area, which made it tough to sleep in. The dining experience left a little to be desired too, as the breakfast didn't quite meet the hotel's standards. Overall, it was a decent stay, but there are definitely a few areas that could be improved.

Rooms

7.0

The room was a bit on the small side for two full beds, but it was comfortable and well-appointed. It was located at the end of the building, close to the busy breakfast area, so it made it difficult for a good night's sleep.

Dining was a little disappointing. Breakfast was below the standard I expected from the hotel. The pastries were hard and the fruit wasn't fresh.

Facilities

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The location is unbeatable, right on the beach and close to everything in Tamarindo. The staff was consistently friendly and accommodating, making my experience even better. The rooms I saw were quite spacious and quiet, but unfortunately, mine felt a bit dark and not as bright as I would have hoped. The dining options were decent, but I felt there could have been more variety. Overall, it was great value for the money, but a few improvements in the rooms and dining would make it even better.

I had a pleasant stay at this hotel, which boasts a great location right in the heart of Tamarindo and just a short walk from the beach. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, which made a big difference during my time there. However, the dining options were somewhat limited, and while the rooms were fine, they could use a bit more charm to really stand out.

The hotel is situated in a prime location, right in the heart of Tamarindo and close to everything you could want. Unfortunately, the rooms feel a bit dated and are not up to par considering the price point. Additionally, while the service staff are friendly, the overall service left something to be desired with ongoing construction and early morning noise. It's definitely a mixed bag.

The hotel has a prime location right in the heart of Tamarindo Beach, which made it easy to explore the area. The King walkout/ocean view room I stayed in was nice, although the noise from the road was a bit bothersome starting early in the morning. While the staff was friendly, the service could use some improvement, especially in the dining area where we had to wait longer than expected for our food. Overall, it felt like a mixed bag of experiences, especially considering the price.

I stayed at this hotel recently, and while the beach access was fantastic, the room was quite small and unfortunately had a view of the exterior wall. The staff was friendly, but there were some hiccups in service. The dining experience was mediocre with the same breakfast every day, which was disappointing. Overall, it's a decent place if you're looking for a great location, but don’t expect too much from the rooms or dining.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. On the positive side, the location was fantastic, right on the beach and close to multiple dining options. However, I found the rooms to be rather dark and noisy, and the service was painfully slow. Overall, it’s a mixed bag, but the beautiful surroundings make it a decent option if you're looking for a budget-friendly getaway.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. While the location was fantastic, right across from the beach and with a beautiful pool area, I ran into some issues with the room and service. The cleanliness was lacking, and the staff felt overwhelmed during peak times. Overall, I enjoyed certain aspects but found the price a bit high for what was offered.

Rooms

5.6/10

The hotel has a beautiful ocean view and a great location near the beach, but I was left disappointed by the very outdated rooms and the constant noise from the busy street outside. While the staff did their best to address our concerns, the overall experience felt more like a budget stay rather than a luxury getaway.

Rooms

The rooms were very old, and the shower only provided either hot or cold water. For the price, I expected much more.
