    They didn't serve dinner at the hotel restaurant. The ramp to get in and out of the hotel could be paved as it wasn't easy to get around with prams.

    Nice breakfast and pool. Great location, only a couple of minutes from the beach.

    Rooms are dated: furniture and bathroom were old. Breakfast is good but you cannot choose and mix foods, you have to stick to a few options.

    Location is very good, guaranteed parking space, lovely pool, comfortable bed and abundant breakfast

    The location wasn’t great. There are no sidewalks into town, but the walk wasn’t far.

    Nice pool, nice rooms, ac worked well, shower was hot and had pressure, good breakfast, good value and close to the beach.

    It would have been nice to know before or when checking in that on Friday nights there is a huge party. The music shuts down at 2:30 am and there was very little sleep gotten since our room was right next to the pool area.

    The room was clean. Staff were very friendly and most were able to communicate in English. The pool was nice and breakfast was good. Fun to see the howler monkeys over the grounds as well.

    The rooms and pool area need updated furniture. I was disappointed that there were only seven lounge chairs by the pool and they looked like they’ve been there for 15+ years.

    Close to the beach, attentive staff and a great breakfast.

    I didn't know about the party that they have on Friday nights until the day I arrived. It goes until 2:30am and that was a bit rough. They need a lot more hanging hooks for wet clothes and things since this is a beach/pool location.

    Close to beach. Good parking. Great breakfast. AC in room worked. Quiet on most* nights (not Friday party night). Pool fairly well maintained. Good shade area for lounging next to pool. Partnership with a rental company made using a surfboard or boogie board pretty easy.

    Don't stay there on a Friday night if you like sleeping as there is a very loud party which feels like it is in your room

    Informal hotel in the quiet end of Tamarindo with easy access to beach and amenities

    There were only four sun beds for guests! Drink prices are higher than local bars.

    Our room had stunning views of the beach. It was spacious, clean and comfortable with a good size balcony. We enjoyed the pool which was often empty. There is a chill out area next to the pool/ bar which has stunning views and a lovely sea breeze. The hotel has surf boards and equipment which is free for guests to use which was a bonus. Our first breakfast was cold and service was slow. The other mornings were better but staff were not very friendly or welcoming. Check in is at the gate to the parking. On our arrival we were warned about the loud music on Fridays and signed a disclaimer! We were then able to enjoy free drinks from 9-11pm as compensation!!!

    The property has no restaurant and because it is located on a hill it presents some difficulty in going out to eat. The breakfast provided was not very good. The pool was clean, but not well managed with kids not being supervised which was annoying.

    It was very clean and the room had a great coffeemaker and refrigerator. We had twin queen beds that were really very comfortable. The staff were helpful and provided some good information on places to visit.
