6.0 / 10.0
It was a pleasant stay nothing to complain very walkable to the center of tamarindo. I have to complain about the fact I went to the office three times one to book my transportation back to SJO airport and twice to confirm my transportation, I was told it was all confirmed and the day of checkout the driver never showed up and sent a new driver (thankfully got us on time to our flight 5hr drive) they acted like this was no problem and blew it off when it wasn't I was flying international and could be late and miss my flight. The people at the front desk never confirmed our transportation. So I would say make sure you get all the info and numbers and confirm yourself with the driver. Other than that it was very nice hotel.

We had a flooding situation in our room due to heavy rains…however I still give this place a 5! They moved us to a new room, refunded the first night, washed all our clothes for us that got wet and offered free breakfast during the rest of our stay. The staff was so helpful and kind and made an unfortunate weather situation so much better!

Not bad but not great. Older hotel and pictures must’ve been taken years ago. Overall not disappointed.

Would absolutely stay here again! Great Service, perfect small feel like you left town yet you are right in the middle of it. THE BEST in room Coffee as well. I loved the location, we did not drive at all for 3 days and did a lot. Easy 6 min walk to beach and less thatln that to MANY restaurants. Mini market right across street

We were very disappointed upon our arrival at the hotel. It was not like what had been described to us. The actual appearance did not match the pictures. Our room was swarming with mosquitoes and spiders. We killed about 10-15 before going to the front desk. Despite bringing this to the attention of the front desk, all we received was bug spray. Our room was not properly cleaned with hair all over the shower and stains and sand on the sheets. Additionally, there was a lack of hot water. When going to breakfast we saw bugs crawling all over the buffet, after ordering food it lead to us getting food poisoning. Our experiences with booking activities through the hotel were equally disappointing, with tours not living up to their descriptions and not booking the shuttle we paid for to take us back to the airport. The only positive aspect was the kindness of the staff. However, based on our overall experience, I would not recommend staying at this hotel.

Well maintained and the property itself is quiet. The on site restaurant was nice and they make great breakfast and nachos. The a/c was quiet and efficient. Great location for beach access and every restaurant you can imagine. Farmers market nearby 2 days a week. Bring ear plugs for potential howler monkeys and the bar nearby that plays music until 2am.

Noise is an issue. If you are not in this area to party this may not be your place. Neighboring bars play loud music from about 11 pm to 3 am. For families, this is not the place to stay. However, this place is great if the noise is not an issue for you. It is an oasis in the craziness of Tamarindo. The people are great, the grounds are nice. Easy to walk everywhere from here. The rooms may be slightly dated but that was not an issue for us. Very comfortable.

Very cool little jungle niche in the heart of Tamarindo. Bit of noise from pubs nearby but not huge issue. The layout of the pool and bar really foster a closer connection to other guests. Great place for solo travelers.

An excellent facility, well kept and somehow, even though it's in the heart of Tamarindo seems like an oasis from the busy streets, shops and restaurants. Very friendly and accomodating staff.

The location was central, however the downside is that it was very noisy at night.

We booked this as a last minute stay for two nights and decided to leave after one night. Super disappointed with this place. Overpriced for what we got. There were ants all over our room when we got there. No hot water to take a shower before bed. The property cat scratched our kid in the morning when he went out to sit in the patio chair. The breakfast you can buy with it includes cereal and bread. And they ran out of butter and said there was no more. Same with the coffee. We checked out early and told them we were dissatisfied and they didn’t offer any sort of credit or refund for the second night we didn’t stay nor follow up to apologize for the experience. Horrible service and stay overall. We do not plan to go back.

We enjoyed our stay. The pool was lovely and felt very private and relaxing. The property was enclosed and felt safe. There was a lot of noise from the street at night and nightlife but that isn’t uncommon in lively beach towns. Our room specifically wasn’t great. The toilet didn’t flush correctly and it needed some upgrades (fresh paint, new floor, etc). it seemed clean otherwise and we had no issues with bugs inside our room.

Super cozy and friendly! Can’t believe the location ! The only recommendation i would have is changing some of the couches out. They’ve gotten a little soft !

We had a great stay. The grounds are pretty with a nice pool and restaurant. Everyone was very helpful and nice. Only a short walk to the beach and has everything around that you would need. The only con was that the power went out twice when we were there, making the room very stuffy

I loved my stay, so close to the main strip of tamarindo yet a perfect escape from the party when needed, rooms were nice and water pressure was strong. Great breakfast and pool too :)).

The front desk staff needs a lot of training. Very unwelcoming and didn’t go over basic information such as the hours breakfast was served and that it was included. The keys for the doors don’t always work. We did have monkeys in the tree right above our room which was pretty cool.

The grounds was beautiful. More mosquitoes than other properties we stayed, even in the rainforest area - though that is the price you pay for all the greenery around you. Pool was nice and warm, though trees above drop things into the pool so it is hit or miss whether clean or not. Wi-Fi did not work in our room. That all said, the room was nice, location was good, and overall we enjoyed it.

DO NOT STAY AT THIS HOTEL. The room was filled with ants (small black ones and big red ones), lizards and other small insects. I personally had to dispatch multiple ants and one lizard.
The room, bed, closet and everything else is old and crumbling and filthy. The blanket, hairdryer and bathroom floor were all covered in dirt, stains or god knows what else.
The neighborhood is incredibly noisy and despite purchasing and using ear plugs, we could hear the neighbors and the loud music from the 3 surrounding bars/restaurants.
We asked the management to come and do something about the ants and nobody contacted us or did anything about it!
This is the worst hotel I've ever stayed at and we actually checked out early and stayed the remaining 3 nights in another hotel, at our own expense!
I've been a long time Expedia customer and have never had my money wasted like this. I'm shocked this place has the ratings that it does!
I took plenty of pictures and will be contact Expedia management about this property.
