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.

Overall a very great place directly on the beach. Far enough from downtown for quiet night, but still pretty close and walking distance (10-15minutes) to all activities and restaurants. Nice owners and staff

Suzanne, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great place to stay! I stayed on the ocean side bottom floor and it was so amazing to be able to walk right to the beach. The room was very clean and had everything I needed. The staff was very nice as well. TV didn't really work, but that's fine because I wasn't in CR to watch TV. Walkable to the entire town. The only thing you need to note is that this is absolutely NOT soundproof like the listing says. I heard everything outside as well as in the next rooms and upstairs.

2/10 Poor

Terrible! We got there 2:30 PM . No one in the reception area to check us in. We finally found the owner, Sandy, in 5e back room where she lives. Got to the room, and we decided we didn’t want to stay there. My wife and I called Expedia to moves to another hotel,we called them 3 times, and Expedia told us that we can not move unless the owner agrees. So we decided to stay in, and the next day Sandy confront me and my wife as to why we called expedi? Then the next day I went into the a fragile safe box that was in the hotel,where we kept the passports and money. Hold and behold! A $ 100 dollar bill was missing from the safe!,,,,,,,, We decided not to confront Sandy, we were not feeling safe in that place. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE NEXT GUESNOT,NOT TO GO THERE!!, horrendous Service,not to mention we got robbed.!

Would not stay again

Was told at check in that there was a private party on site and we would be refunded due to the inevitable noise disruptions. Since then, the owner has refused to refund us despite offering to in the first place and has ignored our attempts at communication (she was very welcoming and helpful prior to this). The room itself was basic, which was fine, but the small towels and thin bedding did not appear to be cleaned or they were just extremely old. The mattresses were thin and they sank when you sat on them. I also bruised myself on the wooded bed frame because it stuck out in the limited space. The piping in the bathroom was all out in the open and the toilet leaked on occasion after flushing. There were very few electrical sockets in the room, in fact there was one and it was sticking out of the wall. The room was never cleaned in the three nights that we stayed in, and the owner told us at check in that her cleaning staff may steal our money if we left it out. As such, we put money in the safe (which was key locked, not PIN locked) and $30 still went missing. Finally, the "city view" that was advertised with our room was merely just a view of the street outside. That said, the hotel is on the beach front, iguanas were frequently on site and there is an unaffiliated restaurant attached to the property.

Ok... So the access to the beach was nice. Sadly it's ridiculously hot in the back as there is no airflow near the building. The room was highly disappointing. Nothing like pictures. Mold in bathroom and main room. Dead bugs squished on walls. No cups in room for water or anything. Shower was horrible most of the time as hot water was non existent at first, then excruciating the next day and could not get it to cool down at all. There was a used toothpick under the bedsheet. The towels especially and blanket on the bed were rags. Had 1 face cloth for the entire week we stayed. Parking was precarious and sketchy right on the road. One couple that started 2 nights next to us had money stolen from them their last night. Crazy dogs next door (possible the owners dogs) woke us up every morning but the last one before 6am. The locks on the doors of the rooms are terrible to operate and I had to help a couple other guests get there's to lock since I figured out mine after 2 days being frustrated with it. We did not see the sheets changed between guests in either room next to ours and the guests changed almost every day. The restaurant next door, which is NOT PART OF THE HOTEL, does play music until 10 or 11pm, but they were very nice and have great service and amazing food. They informed us that the hotel is being bought by another hotel owner and there are plans to clean up and renovate the current hotel and premises. I recommend that people only stay here if you have to.

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.

Nicht gerade ruhig, mit niedrigen Ansprüchen ok

Direkt am Strand ohne viel tamtam. An der Rezeption ist morgens niemand. Nachmittags und abends manchmal. Sauberkeit ist mittelmässig und wer Ruhe sucht sollte ausserhalb von tamarindo bzw. nicht an der Hauptstrasse suchen. Nachtclub crazy monkey ist gegenüber und Motorrad-Proleten fahren bis in die Nacht mit lauten Maschinen und viel Zwischengas.

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.

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.
steve, 12-night trip

6/10 Good

En famille. 👍accès à la plage facile, cours pleine de vegetation et d’animaux, lit et grandeur de la chambre ok. 👎les chambre s’ouvrent directement dans le restaurant Red door. Restaurent tres cher avec musique forte de club en permanence jusqu'à 22h/22h30. Donc plutot impossible de rester pour relaxer a la chambre. à notre arrivée: Il y avait une vapoteuse dans la salle de bain, une lampe sans ampoule jamais changé, pas de stationnement. Je recommanderais seulement à des backpakers de party, mais riches.
