We had a fantastic vacation with our family. The rooms are clean and the property is well kept. The beach is beautiful, but the water was rough. If you want to enjoy a calmer water you can walk or uber to the town beach it’s beautiful and close to the resort. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. I enjoy that they had juice stations in the lobby and at the snack bar, so if you were thirsty you could help yourself anytime. The food was delicious and had a great variety for everybody. At breakfast I absolutely enjoyed the smoothie station- all from fresh fruits. The only thing I would preferred to have air conditioning in the buffet. Overall we enjoyed our stay and we would return to this resort. Lovely vacation.

The facilities were nice and kept clean. The staff was really friendly and helpful. The only downfall is the food. Yes its a buffet, the food is a 6 out of 10. It didnt have a lot of flavor and they served a lot of the same things for all three meals amd everyday. After about three days you are totally burned out. I was only able to eat at the Italian resturant once. It was a very good experience. The food there is gaood. Overall i would stay there again but only for a few days.

The air conditioning in our room did not work upstairs. The housekeeper was terrible. She would take our clean & dirty towels but not replace them. We called 3 different times asking for towels and they would tell us they would be delivered within 5-10 min. They NEVER came. We would have to flag down the housekeeper or attendant for the mini bar to ask for towels. Also, in our upstairs bathroom, the ceiling leaked from the air conditioner so we would have to use our towel. Meant to go for the shower and put it down in the middle of the bathroom floor to soak up the water that was dripping from the ceiling. Our room smelled of mildew. The beach area of the resort was virtually non-existent. It consisted of plastic recliners under trees in the dirt. You could not swim in the water due to rip currents. The food was not very good either. We made the mistake of buying 2 energy drinks from the shop there at the resort and it cost us $16 American dollars! The whole place was a rip off. We ended up checking out 2days early to go to a different hotel. Would not recommend.

I did like the beachfront area, with all the lounge chairs and proximity to the ocean. Towel service was nice, but the rooms left a bit to be desired. Showers didn’t have doors, so the floor got soaked. Thin walls and floors and ceilings, so could hear everything of our neighbors. Phone in the room didn’t work For at least 24 hours while we were there and we weren’t notified until we went to the front desk to ask about it, and then they told us they were aware and would fix it tomorrow. Was also not a covered walkway for us to get to our room through the torrential downpour without getting soaked, and very slick marble stone steps to climb to our room. So, be prepared to be exposed to the weather with your luggage. The food and drinks were ok. Bottom shelf liquor and 3star buffet meals included. Flies in the outdoor buffet near the beach, since it is left uncovered. The pool and hot tub were nice and big.

Great spot for a family vacation in Tamarindo. Good location, close to town, about 15 minute walk, but secluded from night life and noise. Staff were super friendly. We love playing beach volleyball in the evenings with the entertainment crew.

Enjoyed our stay! A lot of the reviews commented on the rooms, I personally thought the rooms were nice. However, we were missing some towels and robes, but it wasn’t really a problem for us. It’s not the most clean - we had some dirt and marks on the sheets and the towels were a little old. But again, we weren’t expecting anything crazy. The shower water would be cold around dinner time, probably because everyone else is also showering and getting ready for dinner. Just don’t be expecting a super luxurious stay! The staff were very friendly, loved how helpful they were and the entertainment staff were great. Check-In process was a bit difficult because it oddly took a very long time in queue which is just a bit of a test of patience after a flight and two hour drive to the hotel. The dinner also starts a bit late (7pm) so if you have children, that’s something to consider. There are some odd downtime times between the two bars. Food is generally rice, beans, steamed veggies and some protein options. Pretty good! Enjoyed the fresh fruits. The excursions lady didn’t really describe the excursions accurately but we weren’t disappointed with the trip. We ended up renting a car and doing our own excursions. The area is a bit far from hikes and main excursions, but still worth it if you can go. Tamarindo is beautiful for beach and surf vibes, this hotel is walkable or a short uber ride (approx $4 USD) away from the Main Street and beach.
