Very Good

Check in was easy the hotel was a cute boutique style hotel staff was friendly and very convenient has a restaurant downstairs with great food and decent prices for the area
Location fantastic! But the small grassy area for guests had three lounge chairs two completely broken and side table broken. No drinking/water glasses in room and no coffee maker. Bathroom door didn’t quite close and not all outlets work. Hardly saw any staff they provided no information. Door locks are just a push lock no dead bolt or chain. Best feature is quiet ocean beach is right there.

Everything weas great, no easy access to beach as it implies, but gorgeous none-the-less.
The owners and cleaning service folks are just very warm and accommodating. The vibe is accepting and supportive. I stayed here 20 years ago and had a similar experience. They are nice people running a great, small hotel.
I would recommend this Hotel to anyone that wants a quiet no-frills stay in Tamarindo. Great owners and decent rooms. Close to the beach, but far enough from the noise.

For the price and location it was very nice. But if you are looking to have dinner take the minute walk towards town many restaurants The restaurants that is there is expensive and not very good.
Cute hotel with everything we needed.
AC was nice, as we weren’t adjusted to the heat yet.
Walkable to the beach, shops and restaurants. Plus the restaurant at the resort looked so cute!!!
