I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The rooms were just meters away from the water, and having a king bed and a kitchen added to the comfort. However, the constant music from nearby bars could be a bit bothersome, especially on weekends. The location is fabulous, with easy access to fantastic restaurants with live entertainment.

The private sunbathing area right in front of the beach was fantastic. It's a bit of a downside that the music from next door can be heard though.

I had a wonderful time at this hotel. It's located right on the beach with the water just meters away and offers rooms with a kitchen and a comfortable king bed. The service was exceptional, and the location was perfect for exploring the vibrant Tamarindo area. However, the continual music from nearby bars could be heard during the day and night, affecting the overall tranquility. The dining experience was adequate, but the value for money was a bit lacking.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location is unbeatable, right on the beach and surrounded by fantastic restaurants. The rooms are cozy and spotless, and the staff is incredibly welcoming. On the flip side, the noise from neighboring bars can be a bit much at times.

The hotel is in the perfect location right on the beach in the middle of Tamarindo, surrounded by fabulous restaurants and lively bars. The rooms are spacious and include a comfortable king bed and a kitchen for added convenience. The service is top-notch, offering housekeeping and tours/ticket assistance.
