We had some very relaxing days here. Owner where really helpfull and always avalible on WhatsApp. Nice and clean room with aircon, safe and hammock. The kitchen had everything we needed and it was clean. Short walk to the beach and restaurants.

Nice pool - although it's very small, but has sun loungers nearby. Open-air shared kitchen with everything you could need to prepare your own food. Coffee and tea provided. Welcome shot offered on arrival. The room was clean, has AC, TV and a bar fridge. Outside are chairs and tables and a hammock for each room. It's quiet and secure.

Great value for money, and the hosts were really kind and supported us with all our questions (getting a PCR test, printing the results etc.). Would recommend!

Renate Netherlands

The property is very nice with all the conforts you need. It is located at walking distance from the beach and the center of Tanarindo but at the same time is a very calm place.

Enrica Switzerland

Cecile was a wonderful and super helpful host! Rooms were perfect, cleaned every day if necessary. The shared kitchen area is spacious and fully stocked with everything you need. The hotel is in a nice quiet area but still only a short walk to the main town and beach. We will recommend to all of our friends!

Yasmin United Kingdom

Super sweet staff, comfy home vibes and great beds. Comfy little touches like plushy bath mats and nice towels. Off the main road but a quick walk to convenient stores and restaurants. The kitchen was well equipped also
