Muy mala
Pros:

Era lindo y buena ubicación

Cons:

Nuestra experiencia fue muy mala. La habitación estaba llena de geckos/lagartijas dentro, lo que fue súper incómodo y desagradable. No había nadie que nos ayudara a sacarlas, así que tuvimos que lidiar con eso solos. Para peor, durante toda la noche hubo mucho ruido, lo que hizo imposible descansar. Definitivamente no fue la experiencia que esperábamos

deception
Pros:

Location is very good in the middle of Tamarindo.

Cons:

1) This is not a hotel. This should be advertised as an RB&B...There is no reception. The phone provided in the reference is wrong. There are not two beds in the room, no air conditioning in the kitchen. Most of the equipment is old.

The location is good
Pros:

Appartement was clean and comfortable, quiet. Reserved parking space and for us close enough to the beach.

Cons:

Check in was not easy, we got a lot of questions and messages at first and had to ask for a code to get the key.

Pros:

Eine kleine schöne idyllische Anlage. Etwas abseits vom Zentrum, daher schön ruhig. Die Unterkunft ist sauber und sehr gepflegt. Zum Kochen ist alles vorhanden und das Equipment in einem guten Zustand. Das Bett ist bequem. Die Kleine Terrasse lädt zum verweilen ein. Preis/Leistung top!
Ich komme gerne wieder!!

A relaxing place that is great for the price
Pros:

I liked the location a lot, it wasn’t too far from many shops, a grocery store, etc… Also it was far enough away that you didn’t hear any of the noise from the more central areas because there’s a lot of it lol.

The place was clean, the villa is very beautiful, especially the pool area. The trickling water from the pool is relaxing and you can hear it from inside your room.

I also liked that towels were provided

Cons:

There’s not much I didn’t like. It is a reasonable, clean, and relaxing place for the price I paid.

Séjour agréable
Pros:

Disposition des chambres autour de la piscine. Notre chambre était à l’étage et s’était spacieux.

Cons:

Devoir contacter le propriétaire pour avoir les codes d’entrée. Il faut absolument avoir internet et répondre au questionnaire pour avoir ces codes.

Definitely recommend! I would stay here again
Pros:

Beautiful exterior! Well lit in the evenings. Nice little pool in the centre of all the rooms and the area was always clean. Staff were kind. Very Clear instructions on how to access the gate and unit.

Cons:

Being on the bottom floor it got a little noisy when people were using the pool or being outside or when the Landry machines were being used.
