Pura vida!
Pros:

This place is beautiful, with a nice pool and direct access to the beach. The beach is absolutely gorgeous. A short walk to town, and a small supermarket nearby for essentials. The junior suites are great, with a kitchenette setup. The staff was very nice, but a special shoutout to Maybel for her kindness and her help during our trip.

Pros:

The property is located in a good spot, away from the craziness of downtown but close enough you can walk. The beach area in front is one of the surfing hotspots if that's what you are looking for. Mainly I would say the staff at this place is the best anywhere that we've been in years. They are friendly, helpful and all around amazing.

Pros:

If you’re looking for a small , private spot to relax on your vacation this is it! The staff was courteous and so helpful. The room was immaculate and morning breakfast was just what we needed - fruit,granola and coffee! There’s surfing right in front of the hotel and we had a short walk on the beach to the pickup spot for fishing.
My wife and I loved it! What a truly relaxing week

Loved our hotel stay in Tamarindo!
Pros:

Loved everything about this adorable hotel. Super clean, VERY helpful and made us feel welcomed right away. Literally the beach is right outside of the property, the pool is so clean, they have surfboards body boards and sand boys for the beach for the kids if needed. They provide you a great simple delicious breakfast, love that it was served to us every morning. And the STAFF house keeps to the security guards were so friendly. All around great vibes, walking distance to everything. I would recommend anyone to stay here if your looking for a beach front location. OneLove. Pura Vida !

Still happy
Pros:

This was our 15th year year staying at this hotel. Probably for a good reason right? The staff from the Front Desk to the lady who cleaned the room were amazing. What has changed over the years: Friends can no longer come over to play card/domino games. If you use a surfboard you are charged. Years ago it was free because you stayed there. I understand not wanting friends using the facilities but coming over to playtimes inside of our room? I had contacted one of the owners about this with no response. We still plan to return here because of the staff.

Pros:

Very beautiful hotel right on the beach, with easy beach access (great for laying out on the loungers and watching the sunset), with a pretty blue pool. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. The breakfast were delicious and had huge portions. The only downside was the black mold in the shower, the wall below the air conditioner, and the air conditioner itself which was blowing out chunks of black stuff while on.

Lived the Coast hotel!!
Pros:

First time to Tamarindo and totally lucked out with the Coast Beachfront hotel. Beautiful rooms with full kitchen, nice and clean pool and steps from surfing at the beach. Complimentary continental breakfast delivered to our room. We ate outside each morning, watching the waves. The Coast is walking distance to the heart of Tamarindo while also being far enough to not be loud. Best experience- I hope we can go back!

5 star room and service, but other areas need improvement
Pros:

My teenage son and I just finished a week stay at the Coast.

Here’s what we loved: The room! We had a beachfront bungalow which we HIGHLY recommend. Our balcony looked directly over the gorgeous ocean, and the room itself was massive, with a fully equipped kitchen.

The front desk staff were consistently helpful and accommodating. Special shout out to Deijan and his big smile!

Here’s what was just okay:

The breakfast. While it’s lovely that they deliver breakfast to your room, the options are fairly limited. Think cereal, fruit, yogurt, juice. No eggs, pancakes, etc.

The facilities. Other than a small pool, there’s nothing here. No restaurant, bar, etc. It’s honestly more like a bed and breakfast than a hotel.

The location. The hotel is about a 10 minute walk from the main drag. We are active and don’t mind walking, but there are lots of hotels more central if that matters to you.

Last, book a surf lesson at one of the many surf schools rather than with Carlos, the hotel instructor. We recommend Leandro and Surf Everyday Academy. Maybe we just found him on a bad day, but Carlos had negative energy and we can’t recommend him.

Pros:

What I think it needs improvement is the breakfast, it is too light, they should include at least eggs and bacon.
