Super clean rooms, great breakfast and awesome hosts! This place is as advertised. Great location and easy walking distance to everything. We loved it and would book it again in a minute! If I had some room for improvement it would be a better shower head and that’s it.
The location is amazing! A close walk to the beach but far enough away to not hear the chaos of Tamarindo nightlife.
The staff here were excellent and went out of their way to make sure we were taken care of.
The Thursday night mixer was a nice way to meet like minded people from around the world and the free drinks an appetizers were a nice touch.
The pool is great with both sun and shade all day depending on what you are looking for.
Free morning tea and coffee was enjoyable and the cafe had excellent food. We would definately stay here again!
The staff were incredible! The location was great too everything was ultra walkable! The free breakfasts were easily the best I had the entire time I was in Costa Rica! Would love to come back in the future!
The room is immaculate, the food is outrageously good worth the extra $ for breakfast. Hosts are over the moon accommodating and make sure to take some time to say hello to “Wyatt” my morning greeting was my most favorite part of the stay! Beyond perfection.
Excellent amenities.
Central location.
Courteous and knowledgeable staff.

We spent three nights in this amazing hotel. It’s a very comfortable place, the room was clean, the pool was fantastic, and the staff were welcoming and helpful. It’s also within walking distance of the town center and the sea, with a supermarket just across the street.
We truly recommend this place
