This property was unfortunately older than the photos and could use new beds or memory foam toppers. The cleaning staff was very nice and accommodating. It’s walking distance to the main strip but furthermore to the shops the beach is close but there is no shade there.

Occasional barking dog at night, one night went a bit long, but the responsibility of the hotel? Can't do much about a noisy neighbor...maybe a temporary thing. Staff wonderful, place very clean and great view out the window. Good value!

The chambermaid Marta was great The rest of the other than two people were the worst staff in my coming to tamarindo for 15 years. People working behind the bar and the receptionist didn't even say hi when I entered the lobby. Really sad.

The parking is practically on the street, the cabin is just enough to stay a night but it’s difficult to sleep because the place is next to Main Street so you hear cars all night long, there is a bad smell.

Thank you for great service!

I gave this spot 4 stars because of how amazing the people were. Specifically the man who checked me in and the overall service. The A/C wouldn’t turn on in my room so I was upgraded to a much better room with a balcony which I really appreciated! The issue is that the sheets and bedding were stained so it didn’t feel clean I didn’t even use the pillows I used my sweater lol - new linens would be a good investment for this property. Also the bathroom didn’t smell clean at all and the hallway and room was infested with mosquitoes so bring your choice of deet! I usually use the natural stuff but it won’t work in this spot… Thank you for the amazing service but ownership should consider a new linen order and maybe some bleach in the bathroom!
