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.

The staff was very friendly and gave us a lot of great information about Tamarindo upon arrival to help us make the most of our time there. We loved the proximity to the downtown and beach. The pool was well maintained. The rooms were clean and AC worked well, but the rooms could in general use a little updating, the water pressure in the shower for example, was inconsistent at times. Overall great value for the proximity to everything central to Tamarindo.

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

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!
