Cute hotel the heart of Tamarindo with great staff and breakfasts.
Pros:

The location and the staff were great. Very cute hotel in the center of it all. Allen was the best ! He made us feel welcomed everyday at breakfast. The wildlife that came in the morning for breakfast was amazing! Monkeys , iguanas, birds it was so cool.

Cons:

The rooms could use a refresh here and there. But they were cleaned everyday.

Expensive for what it is
Pros:

Very well located hotel, close to the beach and to town. Good breakfast (it is not buffet style, you choose one option of plate and it comes with fruits).Comfortable matress.

Cons:

The hotel has potential but it needs a lot of renovations and TLC..Towels were old and not good. Toilet paper was awful. No blackout curtains and there was a light right in front of our room... Employees from restaurant were not bad but not proactive either...

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 "not positive" comment we could make is that we had an end unit and it was a little noisy later in the evening, however, Tamarindo is not a quiet place and it would not deter us from staying there again.

Pros:

L’établissement est super bien situé ! On a juste déposer la voiture et on a tout fait à pied.
La piscine est vraiment sympa aussi (des fois un peu sale)

Cons:

Nous avions une chambre au bout de l’hôtel et donc on entendait beaucoup l’extérieur avec la route !
On a aussi eu un problème de wifi qui ne se rendait pas jusque dans notre chambre mais c’était réglé au bout du 2ème jour

Pros:

Ubicación

Cons:

Ruido de algún motor fuera del baño que se escuchaba hasta la habitación en la noche. Faltaría mantención o modernización. Se cortó el agua por problema con bombas de agua. Es caro para la calidad.

Uns hat es sehr gut gefallen!
Pros:

Die Anlage ist sehr schön und sauber, gut gelegen wenn auch nicht direkt am Strand, dafür mit schönem Pool und Sonnenliegen. Ruhig und im Grünen aber trotzdem zentral. Frühstück war auch super und abwechslungsreich. Personal sehr freundlich. Zimmer sauber, hell und greäumig.

Cons:

Nichts
