    The hotel has perfect location with a path to the beach, and easy walking down the street to the rest of town. The restaurant inside was amazing as well, and was available whenever you needed a drink or something to eat. The staff at the front desk were so friendly despite our language barrier, and showed us around as we checked in so we knew where to go and how to operate the lights in the hotel. They provided soap and shampoo, and the AC was great!

    The stay is this hotel was oke. My girlfriend and I booked the street view room #9 for 3 nights. When we tried to open the door, the key of the door broke, and inside the appartment the door to the bathroom was partially broken. We were forced to change rooms and moved to another more luxier room and had to pay $100 extra for this room. We were not very happy with the extra payment but it was not negociable. The luxier room was much better than the room we had before.

    The cleaners on the other hand work very hard and are very kind. I think there is a difference in level of service between the cleaners and the management of the hotel. We would recommend the restaurant of the hotel for sure!

    The room and terrace on the ground floor are accessible from the bar and also from the beach. The area is not always guarded by responsible staff. We met a girl who had money stolen from her room. Consider another floor or be careful of things left in the room.

    No Hot water. There is a restaurant attached to the hotel that tends to play music into the night that can be annoying.

    Balcony view of the sea was great. Chill, laid-back atmosphere.

    Employee who checked us in didn’t know how to use the credit card machine. Booked with price in dollars. Offered to pay in cash in colones, gave her the amount she requested. Later walking by, she asked for more money, well above the normal exchange rate.. so we decided to see again if we could just use the card to pay the original booked rate in dollars. Took a very long time, but she was finally able to run our card. Also I had to use the flashlight on my phone to see in the hallway coming out of the room at night with young kids. The lights only worked going up to the room, then turn off automatically. It was a bit odd.

    There was no coffee maker in the room. If you are looking for a quote night in the rooms this is not a location for you. The restaurant and the bar are a few feet away and one can hear the music until about 10.at night.

    The room was a good size and the bed was comfortable. The hotel was on the beach. The fridge in the room was very useful.

    Bed was ok but not wonderful. Didn't see any place to get ice and the restaurant said no since they're a separate establishment. Noisy neighbors, could hear everything in the hallways. Parking was pretty tight.

    Met our needs, easy to find, location sufficient, liked having a refrigerator in the room with a freezer we could use to freeze some stuff before the next day's hot travel. On the quieter end of the busy Tamarindo main street and Beach.

    Parking was a little tight. It was busy due to the holidays which may have factored in. Also, it appears that parking is limited due to the Chinese restaurant next door. The staff at reception were helpful in finding me a spot and helped ensure that I could leave (my car was blocked).

    I liked where it was located, it was accessible by walking to the many beaches. I was able to park my car as well. The hotel was also close to many restaurants.
