Exceptional
Pros:

Simply one of the greatest lodging experiences I've had in a couple years, what a lovely place to stay, so safe, right in the heart of Tamarindo with the cheapest supermarket in town right in the first floor of the building, it's located in front of the skatepark, stupidly close from everything, both floors have a balcony to chill and even take a nap, in the rooms everything is new, linings, towels, the little details, also the staff members are superb, Melanie sets the energy at the front desk and the others definitely help you feel welcomed, and lastly: the hygiene in this place is unparalleled. 20 out of 10, go check for yourself :)

See you guys again soon! Puravida!

Cons:

Having to leave.

Nive place to chill
Pros:

The location is very, very central.

Great Air conditioning and nice showers. Super clean and lovely cleaning staff. Very chill vibe in the place and 2 great outdoor spaces to chill. One with shade and one with sky view for sunsets. Really nice place, highly recommended.

Cons:

And indoor chill communal space with AC would be great itbwas sooooo hot but I'm a total gringo so maybe that's just me!

Disappointing Experience with Basic Amenities
Cons:

The hotel only provides a bedsheet as a blanket, so my friend felt cold on the first night. We asked for an extra blanket, but the reception told us there were none available. Then, we requested a fresh towel, but they said hotel policy requires guests to use the same towel for three days before getting a clean one. In such a hot climate, this policy is really inconvenient and unhygienic. Overall, it was a disappointing experience.
