Estafadores
Pros:

Nada

Cons:

Todo y son estafadores porque cobran $59 de depósito de seguridad y en la reserva no dice que haya que pagar dicho monto, y si no pagas esos $50 no te hospedan.

Pros:

La ubicación

Cons:

Primero decía que el parqueo estaba dentro del lugar, lo cual es mentira está en la calle prácticamente, habían cucarachas, deben de decir que la plantilla de inducción se conecta super incómoda detrás de las gavetas de las platos porque la dejan desconectada y la presión de agua terrible dura toda la vida uno bañándose

Has everything you could want! Such a comfortable stay especially for a solo traveler.
Pros:

I really like how central the property is in Tamarindo. Literally everything I wanted to go to was a short walk away with how close the boutique hotel is. The room was comfortable and everything felt cozy. I cooked in the kitchen several times and the induction stove was super easy to use.

The apartment is incredibly comfortable and it felt like a home away from home!

The pool was also nice and I got to enjoy it a few times.

Cons:

The entrance gate to the complex felt like it could open with a solid body push so I’m not sure if I felt like it was super secure. And the key into each villa felt like the latch was also really flimsy and could easily be broken into. But the are itself feels safe so maybe that’s why there’s not heavier safety measures.

I didn’t like that the kitchen blind was see through allowing anyone to look right through to the bathroom. The shower was pretty water logged. But besides that, everything was great!

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!!
