Pros:

Kleines Boutique Hotel im trubligem, verstaubten Tamarindo. Ruhig und trotzdem per Fuß alles gut und schnell zu erreichen. Sehr freundliches Personal.

Cons:

Etwas sehr kleines Zimmer, was wir ohne Probleme tauschen konnten. Durch das Erdgeschoss sehr viel Ameisen und anderes Getier. Ist eben Natur...;-).

Tolles kleines Hotel in Tamarindo
Pros:

Das Hotel Arco Iris hat eine überschaubare Grösse und die Zimmer sind schön in einer Gartenanlage angeordnet. Das Frühstück ist ausgezeichnet und es gibt eine Auswahl von acht festgelgten Gerichten, welches uns jedes sehr gut geschmekt hat. Es gibt rund um die Uhr frisches und kaltes Wasser, welches am Automaten aufgefüllt werden konnte.

Cons:

Wir haben den Wäscheservice genutzt, welcher leider ein paar unserer Socken verloren hat. Die Reinigungskosten wurden uns offeriert, aber es war trotzdem etwas ärgerlich.

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
