Super Unterkunft im zu amerikanischen Tamarindo
Pros:

Kaum zu glauben, dass in der sehr touristischen Stadt eine Unterkunft mit schönem Palmengarten zu finden ist! Die Zimmer, der Pool und der Garten haben uns sehr gut gefallen. Die Frühstücksauswahl war gut!

Cons:

Die Außendusche könnte etwas näher zum Pool sein, aber das ist nur eine Kleinigkeit

proche de tout mais à l'écart pour la tranquillité
Pros:

Nous étions dans un bungalow. Les bungalow sont très sympa avec un hamac sur la terrasse. Les bungalows étaient très propres.

Cons:

la piscine est un peu petite et durant notre séjour, certains vacanciers étaient un peu sans gêne quant à l'utilisation de la piscine, en buvant des bières dans l'eau et en retournant les sièges

A small boutique hotel with a relaxing vibe, spacious room, comfy bed, excellent staff and really good breakfast options
Pros:

This gem is tucked away on a quiet street and just a short walk to all the restaurants, shops and beach in the center of town. The staff was excellent- Juan Jose was very attentive and helpful. Breakfast was delicious and made to order. The fact it was included in the room price is amazing. Our room was so spacious and the bed very comfortable. Loved the different seating areas around the pool and dining area. Inviting and relaxing.
We will be back!

Cons:

Not one thing!!

Amazing breakfast and cosy environment
Pros:

The property is located just few minutes from down town. A nice walk in proximity to restaurants, beach and shops. The breakfast is amazing with awesome selection cooked to order. The pool area is cosy and everything does feel like a boutique hotel with all the small cute details.

Cons:

Tamarindo is said to be expensive and this hotel, a three star boutique hotel was very expensive in comparison with other options around the Guanacaste beach. We really enjoyed our stay and found the place cosy and nice but just a bit expensive.

Sehr gepflegtes Haus in bester Lage - absolut empfehlenswert!
Pros:

Das Hotel Arco Iris ist sehr sauber, bietet ein individuelles sehr leckeres, ausreichendes Frühstück an. Der Pool ist morgens um 7 Uhr mit herrlicher Tempartatur gründlichst gesäubert. Das haben wir sehr genossen. Die Lage ist ruhig und trotzdem sehr zentrumsnah.

Cons:

Die Mitarbeiter empfanden wir als etwas zurückhaltend. Hier könnte man Gäste noch besser begeistern und es würde den Aufenthalt positv abrunden. Da man beim Frühstück nur eine Sache auswählen kann, hätte man uns mit einem kleinen Obstangebot am Nachmittag z.bsp. in Form von Ostspießen am Pool begeistern können.
