Pros:

Nice hotel, good communication. Toilet was not working have got a new room the next day.

Cons:

Ants in the bathroom. 9.00 I wanted to check out. Hotel manager should arrive but did not. Payed my breakfast with a lower exchange rate. So I payed more. Couldn’t get an invoice.

amazing!!!
Pros:

The Arco Iris was great. The location was perfect and the staff were fantastic. The rooms were exceptionally clean, and the breakfast was delicious. I was there for two weeks and it was a really peaceful and great experience.

Cons:

once you exit the hotel in the back and go down the path, there's a rocky walk into the town - but that's not technically a part of the hotel. It's just that the town truly doesn't have sidewalks until you get to the beach area.

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...;-).
