We had a fantastic stay, all staff was very friendly and perfect location. The pool was a great way to cool down on the hot days and just what was needed! Highly recommend staying here
Great budget hotel, very clean, excellent pool, cold AC, perfect location across the street from the beach with beach access. Staff was friendly and helpful.
The overall experience was nice. The only complaint I’d have is about the room air conditioner but other than that, perfect location, comfortable days and nice pool

Liked: Cleanliness
Nice small hotel. Very good location near beach and reatsurants.
Right across street from beach and all the shops and restaurants. Fantastic experience and close to the heart of the downtown area without breaking budgets
Very comfortable hotel with excellent pool area and parking, just across the road from the beach and right at the heart of the bars, restaurants and shops. Fantastic value for money.
Location is in the middle of pretty much the center of Tamarindo for whatever you need, carr was kept in a gated and fully secured parking lot. The pool and set up of the entire place was gorgeous, you wouldn’t need anything more.

Great location, room was always clean. Most comfortable bed of our entire holiday. Pool area is very nice.
Older hotel and the street noise can be a bit much but was much quieter after Saturday. Very friendly staff and their dogs.
Would stay here again.

Friendly and helpful staff. Great location to walk everywhere in Tamarindo. Right across from the beach and coffee and can have breakfast on the beach. Pool area is nice to relax and sit outside. Great outdoor kitchen to use, we would definitely go back. Wonderful time, thank you!
