Very Good
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travelers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
The owners and cleaning service folks are just very warm and accommodating. The vibe is accepting and supportive. I stayed here 20 years ago and had a similar experience. They are nice people running a great, small hotel.

Liked: Staff & service, room comfort
For the price and location it was very nice. But if you are looking to have dinner take the minute walk towards town many restaurants The restaurants that is there is expensive and not very good.
I would recommend this Hotel to anyone that wants a quiet no-frills stay in Tamarindo. Great owners and decent rooms. Close to the beach, but far enough from the noise.
Overall a very great place directly on the beach. Far enough from downtown for quiet night, but still pretty close and walking distance (10-15minutes) to all activities and restaurants. Nice owners and staff
Cute hotel with everything we needed.
AC was nice, as we weren’t adjusted to the heat yet.
Walkable to the beach, shops and restaurants. Plus the restaurant at the resort looked so cute!!!
