It was a pleasant stay nothing to complain very walkable to the center of tamarindo. I have to complain about the fact I went to the office three times one to book my transportation back to SJO airport and twice to confirm my transportation, I was told it was all confirmed and the day of checkout the driver never showed up and sent a new driver (thankfully got us on time to our flight 5hr drive) they acted like this was no problem and blew it off when it wasn't I was flying international and could be late and miss my flight. The people at the front desk never confirmed our transportation. So I would say make sure you get all the info and numbers and confirm yourself with the driver. Other than that it was very nice hotel.

We had a flooding situation in our room due to heavy rains…however I still give this place a 5! They moved us to a new room, refunded the first night, washed all our clothes for us that got wet and offered free breakfast during the rest of our stay. The staff was so helpful and kind and made an unfortunate weather situation so much better!

Would Not Recommend
We were very disappointed upon our arrival at the hotel. It was not like what had been described to us. The actual appearance did not match the pictures. Our room was swarming with mosquitoes and spiders. We killed about 10-15 before going to the front desk. Despite bringing this to the attention of the front desk, all we received was bug spray. Our room was not properly cleaned with hair all over the shower and stains and sand on the sheets. Additionally, there was a lack of hot water. When going to breakfast we saw bugs crawling all over the buffet, after ordering food it lead to us getting food poisoning. Our experiences with booking activities through the hotel were equally disappointing, with tours not living up to their descriptions and not booking the shuttle we paid for to take us back to the airport. The only positive aspect was the kindness of the staff. However, based on our overall experience, I would not recommend staying at this hotel.

Well maintained and the property itself is quiet. The on site restaurant was nice and they make great breakfast and nachos. The a/c was quiet and efficient. Great location for beach access and every restaurant you can imagine. Farmers market nearby 2 days a week. Bring ear plugs for potential howler monkeys and the bar nearby that plays music until 2am.

Late night noise but otherwise great
Noise is an issue. If you are not in this area to party this may not be your place. Neighboring bars play loud music from about 11 pm to 3 am. For families, this is not the place to stay. However, this place is great if the noise is not an issue for you. It is an oasis in the craziness of Tamarindo. The people are great, the grounds are nice. Easy to walk everywhere from here. The rooms may be slightly dated but that was not an issue for us. Very comfortable.

Jungle in a jungle
Very cool little jungle niche in the heart of Tamarindo. Bit of noise from pubs nearby but not huge issue. The layout of the pool and bar really foster a closer connection to other guests. Great place for solo travelers.

Never staying here again
We booked this as a last minute stay for two nights and decided to leave after one night. Super disappointed with this place. Overpriced for what we got. There were ants all over our room when we got there. No hot water to take a shower before bed. The property cat scratched our kid in the morning when he went out to sit in the patio chair. The breakfast you can buy with it includes cereal and bread. And they ran out of butter and said there was no more. Same with the coffee. We checked out early and told them we were dissatisfied and they didn’t offer any sort of credit or refund for the second night we didn’t stay nor follow up to apologize for the experience. Horrible service and stay overall. We do not plan to go back.
