I like that it seemed secluded but very walkable to the beach and all the restaurants. The room was big and the bed was comfortable. Breakfast service and food was excellent!!! And all the staff were very helpful especially Juan Carlos who made sure breakfast was prepared for us to bring when we told him we were leaving early to visit another town. Would highly recommend this hotel.

Great boutique hotel minutes away from all of Taramindo’s hot spots. Bed was comfortable. Room and property were kept clean. Not many options for breakfast but the meals I had were great. Pool was clean and refreshing. Staff were personable. Would stay again.

We stay there just for one night. We didn’t have much time to enjoy the property. Everything was nice and we were comfortable. The front desk guy was very polite and explained everything to us and walked us to the room. The bar-restaurant and pool looked very nice.

Had an awesome stay, everything was perfect, rooms were very clean and the property was stunning. Had a beautiful balcony that we sat under to listen to the rain in the evenings. Staff were so kind and friendly. Hotel is poked away in a quiet area but within walking distance to shops and the beach. 5 ⭐️ - would come back again!!

This is a small high quality hotel. The staff was friendly, although they could have been more helpful with suggestions and problem solving. The WiFi in the room we were in was weak and sometimes timed out.

Juan Carlos, the concierge for Hotel Arco Iris is an absolute GEM of a human being! He made our stay and the days leading up to our arrival even more than we could’ve expected. It was great having transportation set-up upon our arrival by the hotel! The property is beautiful, cozy & feels like home away from home. Breakfast with server Freddy was always a plus! He is kind, attentive & thoughtful in his approach to service. Big hugs to the kitchen staff who made such delicious breakfasts! Richard, the owner of the hotel is an active participant in the day-to-day operations & it was great seeing him interact with his guests and staff. Beds/pillows are comfy, showers were squeaky clean, pool & drinks were fabulous! Housekeeping team is awesome. I’ll definitely be back!
