Our family of 12 traveled to Tamarindo for a portion of our trip. In total we rented 5 rooms for 2 nights. This hotel gives it a motel vibe. Definitely not a 4 star in my opinion. Once we were given the keys, the first thing we noticed was the toilet seat was off the screw and we needed to screw it back in so the seat did not move. The beds have very cheap looking sheets that had holes in it. No bed comforter as you typically see in hotels. The bed had bed bugs and every person on our group got bit quite a bit. The hotel sits by the busy road and it’s very noisy. Car passing by at all hits of the night blasting music. It’s really hard to get some sleep. My father in law asked for a fan to cancel out some noise and was told they would bring one up but never did. When he went downstairs to ask, he was rudely told by the reception guy that they did not offer it. We had a very rude waiter at the restaurant when having breakfast on both days. He was working the drink stations. He seemed annoyed by questions of guest and we overheard him complaining to another waitress how he had to repeat the same thing to guests every single day. I will say breakfast itself was decent. We did have some nice staff such as Donovan who assisted us with towels. We also had a waiter named Bismark who was very nice and helpful. The bellboys were also great. Front desk staff definitely lacked the professionalism and could use a bit more training on how to deal with guests.

Helpful and attentive staff. Sometimes service was slow but was due to minimal bartenders/many orders at once. Otherwise being right on the beach, having magnificent pools, and walking distance to many food places, this is a wonderful place to stay. Breakfast options were great. The rooms were decent. The bathroom did have a bad smell likely because of shower/sink drainage. It aired out and was fine when leaving door and window open. Would definitely stay here again.

We simply could not figure out the lights in the room. They kept going off altogether, impossible to know which switches did what, the 'lights off' button in the doorwell was confusing. But that aside, a wonderful property in a beautiful location - I would love to return one day.

We did not get the rooms we booked and the room they put us in had three flights of steps and our mom has a walker, so difficult for her to navigate. Will not stay here again for that reason.
