The location couldn’t be better. The staff here is amazing and all guests (like everyone in the area) were kind and friendly. The location is surprisingly quiet given how close it is to the Main Street. The breakfast is tasty too! I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.
Great location, friendly management, delicious breakfast right on site! Nice pool for a quick dip while being short under 10 min walk to the shops and beach. Refrigerator in room & private balcony nice touch!
Friendly staff/ owners are super awesome and welcoming.Food is always fresh made to order
This was my second time here and looking for the stay again in the future! Front desk staff is is super friendly and will help with any questions ! I absolutely recommend this place to anyone looking for a nice and quite get away …
Excellent location just a few blocks from the beach. Several restaurants very good restaurants close by and shops. Simple but clean and comfortable room with balcony sitting space. Very nice owners and staff who gave us good info about the area.
Very delicious breakfast, highly recommend to use the with breakfast option while booking. Small hotel, a little loud in the evenings given it is in between two restaurants. Decent location
The staff and the hotel, outdoor pool was fantoastic! My hosy was gracious and arranged for a yerrific scuba diving experience. The breakfast served was delicious and modestly priced.
It was a very relaxing resort!
I will definitely return.
My host also noticed my interests and directed me to go to bookstores and great restaurants.
Tamarindo is a nice town but this hot
el enhanced my experience
Great location, guests, and staff. Maggie and Sandra are absolutely excellent hosts and they are personally invested in making sure that you have a great stay and trip.
Fantastic stay. Staff were very helpful and really enjoyed the weekly social. Pool was lovely with shade which is very important in the Costa Rican sun. Breakfast was delicious. Enjoyed meeting the owner and his little dog Wyatt. Hotel was well looked after and well Kent. Water cooler available and tours offered. The monkeys even came to visit in the backyard one afternoon. Fantastic location, you are able to walk to many restaurants and the nightly market on Thursday nights which has a great vibe. Highly recommend and look forward to a return visit!
Maggie is such a cool woman, she welcome us with such enthusiasm knowing its our first time to visit Costa Rica. The property is centrally located and the Breakfast,if you include, is well portioned and delicious. The Staff here is the real Gem of this place. Each and everyone of them are so accomodating and attentive. Will definitely recoomend and stay again.
