A beautiful oasis close to all the action of Tam. Staff were excellent and accommodating. Rooms were extra clean, patio with hammock was heaven. Pool area was quiet but allowed for chats with other guests. Would definitely recommend and will stay again.
Staff in the restaurant were not available and unfriendly most of the time, so that was strange. Need a place to fill up water bottles to reduce single use plastic. Rooms were spacious and comfortable. Surprisingly quiet for how close we were to the main streets
This was a cute hotel. The amenities and pool area are nice and it is a great location. Walking distance to the beach where we were able to rent chairs and surf. Walking distance to many restaurants and the nightlife which all fell safe. Parking is also easy. However, the actual room of the hotel is not anything special. It is very plain and straightforward but was good for us because we were really only in the room for sleep for our 3 day stay.

Basic hotel in Tamarindo. Came here during the peak season, so the prices were high. Pool was nice, but rooms were super basic and felt overpriced.
From USA. Enjoyed stay here. Staff was awesome especially bartender Daniel. Breakfast was included and very practical. Room was clean. A few insects here and there but thats to be expected. Quiet and safe feel. Open mic at bar on Wednesday was fun!
Always love it here as we tend to visit every few months but this time was outstanding as we had the privilege of staying in the beautiful Villa! Wow! Absolutely stunning! We will be back!
very clean, very helpful front desk staff, helped with travel arrangements. The restaurant on property was great!

Very pretty grounds around property. Staff was amazing and nice. Plumbing seems to have issues and I do understand based on location and type of plumbing they have but feel might as well have out houses then.
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
