Pros:

Eine sehr schöne kleine Anlage. Die beiden Touren ( Schildkröten und Bootstour mit Tierbeobachtung, die beide super waren!) wurden für uns hier organisiert ( Achtung nur mit Barzahlung möglich, Bank ist aber ganz in der Nähe), Abholung direkt am Hotel, gutes, sehr leckeres Frühstück, Coffee frei am ganzen Vormittag, toller Pool, in dem man wirklich schwimmen kann, sehr freundlich alle, gute Lage im Zentrum und trotzdem ruhig

Cons:

Bad ist ein bisschen in die Jahre gekommen, aber groß und bequem...

Lovely & Clean Stay
Pros:

The hotel was clean, staff were lovely. While we only stayed for 1 night so we didnt use the pool, it looked very clean. A very quite space to work and relax.

Cons:

The noise surrounding the hotel in the nighttime made for a difficult sleep, however, to be expected in a busy area,

Plus grosse déception de notre séjour au Costa Rica
Pros:

Le personnel est agréable,
La nourriture est de qualité.
En revanche dans la confirmation de réservation il était indiqué :

Le Petit-déjeuner coûte US$15 par personne et par nuit. Le Déjeuner coûte US$10 par personne et par nuit.

Ce qui est faux étant donné que les repas sont à la carte.
Pourquoi une telle information ?

Cons:

Je n’ai pas aimé la politique de l’hôtel qui accueille les externes au détriment des clients.
Des amis ont rejoint un groupe qui avait une chambre et ont pu utiliser tous les transats (qui sont de base limités).
Vous ne pouvez donc pas en jouir si cela arrive.

Une famille avec plusieurs enfants ont pu venir déjeuner (ce qui s’oppose à « Adults Only »). Fin de tranquillité pour votre moment de coworking.

Des travaux ont eu lieu pendant notre séjour et à proximité de nous :
Découpe de métal avec projection d’étincelles.
Opérations de soudure avec arc électrique visible et fumée nocive.
Hallucinant, vraiment.

La climatisation de la chambre est juste au dessus du lit.
L’air froid vous tombe donc directement dessus pendant la nuit. Malheureusement la nôtre fuyait. Ce qui fait que de l’eau nous tombait dessus. Nous avons donc du la couper. Pas de chance il faisait jusqu’à 34 degrés pendant notre séjour.

Très mauvais rapport qualité prix.
Très grosse déception au vu de la réputation de l’hôtel et des précédents commentaires.

Pros:

Me gusto porque esta en el puro centro de Tamarindo, es fácil desplazarse sin vehículo. Me gusto la piscina es bastante grande y mantienen todo muy ordenado y limpio. El anfitrión es un 10/10 .

Cons:

Siento que el espacio entre la cama y las paredes es estrecho pero la cama es bastante cómoda y grande, asi q se perdona.

Desastrosa
Pros:

Desayuno correcto
El resto un auténtico desastre

Cons:

No hay vigilancia ni nadie al que dirigiste a partir de las 20 . Teníamos una urgencia y nadie respondió .
La habitaciones premiun tienen humedad , la mesita de noche es una nevera .( pegada a la cabeza , para tener buen descanso , un horror !
Dicen que no es pet friendly y ahí vive un perro .
En el desayuno se ve pusieron a cortar hierro con una radial …… en fin , un n auténtico robo .

Thoughtful people who really care about their customers. It felt like home
Pros:

The owners and Maggie made our stay so perfect. When we checked in we realized our ac wasn’t working. Maggie immediately accommodated us to another room and provided us with a free breakfast for the trouble. I think that was really sweet. The property is at the perfect location too

Cons:

Nothing to not like. We loved staying here
