The air conditioning in our room did not work upstairs. The housekeeper was terrible. She would take our clean & dirty towels but not replace them. We called 3 different times asking for towels and they would tell us they would be delivered within 5-10 min. They NEVER came. We would have to flag down the housekeeper or attendant for the mini bar to ask for towels. Also, in our upstairs bathroom, the ceiling leaked from the air conditioner so we would have to use our towel. Meant to go for the shower and put it down in the middle of the bathroom floor to soak up the water that was dripping from the ceiling. Our room smelled of mildew. The beach area of the resort was virtually non-existent. It consisted of plastic recliners under trees in the dirt. You could not swim in the water due to rip currents. The food was not very good either. We made the mistake of buying 2 energy drinks from the shop there at the resort and it cost us $16 American dollars! The whole place was a rip off. We ended up checking out 2days early to go to a different hotel. Would not recommend.

I did like the beachfront area, with all the lounge chairs and proximity to the ocean. Towel service was nice, but the rooms left a bit to be desired. Showers didn’t have doors, so the floor got soaked. Thin walls and floors and ceilings, so could hear everything of our neighbors. Phone in the room didn’t work For at least 24 hours while we were there and we weren’t notified until we went to the front desk to ask about it, and then they told us they were aware and would fix it tomorrow. Was also not a covered walkway for us to get to our room through the torrential downpour without getting soaked, and very slick marble stone steps to climb to our room. So, be prepared to be exposed to the weather with your luggage. The food and drinks were ok. Bottom shelf liquor and 3star buffet meals included. Flies in the outdoor buffet near the beach, since it is left uncovered. The pool and hot tub were nice and big.

Great spot for a family vacation in Tamarindo. Good location, close to town, about 15 minute walk, but secluded from night life and noise. Staff were super friendly. We love playing beach volleyball in the evenings with the entertainment crew.

Enjoyed our stay! A lot of the reviews commented on the rooms, I personally thought the rooms were nice. However, we were missing some towels and robes, but it wasn’t really a problem for us. It’s not the most clean - we had some dirt and marks on the sheets and the towels were a little old. But again, we weren’t expecting anything crazy. The shower water would be cold around dinner time, probably because everyone else is also showering and getting ready for dinner. Just don’t be expecting a super luxurious stay! The staff were very friendly, loved how helpful they were and the entertainment staff were great. Check-In process was a bit difficult because it oddly took a very long time in queue which is just a bit of a test of patience after a flight and two hour drive to the hotel. The dinner also starts a bit late (7pm) so if you have children, that’s something to consider. There are some odd downtime times between the two bars. Food is generally rice, beans, steamed veggies and some protein options. Pretty good! Enjoyed the fresh fruits. The excursions lady didn’t really describe the excursions accurately but we weren’t disappointed with the trip. We ended up renting a car and doing our own excursions. The area is a bit far from hikes and main excursions, but still worth it if you can go. Tamarindo is beautiful for beach and surf vibes, this hotel is walkable or a short uber ride (approx $4 USD) away from the Main Street and beach.

Food options were horrible, we checked in at 3:15 but the lady was soooo slow helping the person infront of us that we had to wait 45 minute and they said okay you can eat dinner at the restaurant tonight just need to make a reservation so we said okay can we make the restaurant and she said no we only take them till 4:00pm. You can eat at the snack bar at the pool which was chicken nuggets and French fries. Even the next day when we were able to go to the restaurant which a reservation the food was extremely limited in options they only let us order off of half the menu and then charged us extra for it even though the resort is all inclusive.
