Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This was a cute hotel. The amenities and pool area are nice and it is a great location. Walking distance to the beach where we were able to rent chairs and surf. Walking distance to many restaurants and the nightlife which all fell safe. Parking is also easy. However, the actual room of the hotel is not anything special. It is very plain and straightforward but was good for us because we were really only in the room for sleep for our 3 day stay.

We had a great stay. The grounds are pretty with a nice pool and restaurant. Everyone was very helpful and nice. Only a short walk to the beach and has everything around that you would need. The only con was that the power went out twice when we were there, making the room very stuffy

Quiet nice place, need to work on service

Staff in the restaurant were not available and unfriendly most of the time, so that was strange. Need a place to fill up water bottles to reduce single use plastic. Rooms were spacious and comfortable. Surprisingly quiet for how close we were to the main streets

Long time family owned, friendly, happy and helpful staff with a sweet oasis and bar area. The location is near the busy central area of Tamarindo which provides a good deal of traffic and evening night life sounds. Also our room had some periodic weird pipe songs

Liked: Property conditions & facilities
The grounds was beautiful. More mosquitoes than other properties we stayed, even in the rainforest area - though that is the price you pay for all the greenery around you. Pool was nice and warm, though trees above drop things into the pool so it is hit or miss whether clean or not. Wi-Fi did not work in our room. That all said, the room was nice, location was good, and overall we enjoyed it.

Disliked: Staff & service
The front desk staff needs a lot of training. Very unwelcoming and didn’t go over basic information such as the hours breakfast was served and that it was included. The keys for the doors don’t always work. We did have monkeys in the tree right above our room which was pretty cool.
