Wunderbares Hotel

Wir haben ein paar Tage im Arco Iris verbracht und haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und das frisch zubereitete Frühstück hat uns sehr geschmeckt. Besonders geschätzt haben wir die Tipps zu Ausflügen und Restaurants, die uns Fredy gegeben hat. Wir kommen sicher gerne wieder, denn das Hotel ist ruhig und trotzdem sehr zentral gelegen.

We had a great time staying in our bungalow at Hotel Arco Iris! The staff was super friendly and accommodating for our entire stay. The bungalow felt like our own little piece of luxury, and the hotel is located close to downtown Tamarindo but is a short walk away which gives it a nice sense of privacy.

✨ My experience at Hotel Arco Iris was fantastic! The rooms were very clean and came with a wonderfully spacious king-size bed. The pool is in the central part of the property right off the lobby / restaurant / Hangout spot...and 24/7 coffee bar. The only unique aspect, which isn't a fault of the hotel, is the howler monkeys – they can be loud in the early morning, but for me it was comforting & *usually* there's enough time in between howls to fall asleep. Ha! The hotel staff was super friendly - I had a few hours to spare after checkout and before I needed to head to my next destination, and they stored two pieces of my luggage, one very oversized, at no cost. When I have such a pleasurable state at a place like this, It really makes or breaks it trip to a new city...& The Hotel Arco Iris is definitely a big reason why I will be coming back to Tamarindo. Pura Vida 🤙🇨🇷
