I had a great stay at this hotel! The rooms were spacious and comfortable, though lacked a bit of privacy being directly facing another room. The first-floor location was convenient, with bigger rooms available if needed.

The location was perfect for us, just about 500 meters from the beach on the quieter end of town. We enjoyed being close to everything yet tucked away enough to enjoy the wildlife and quiet surroundings.

My stay at the hotel was truly relaxing and enjoyable. The rooms were very clean and spacious, a perfect retreat during the hot afternoon sun and away from the chaos of Tamarindo. The service was exceptional, with all the staff being lovely and very kind, always ready to assist. The location was ideal, just a short walk distance from the beach and city center with plenty of dining options nearby but far enough from the noise. The dining experience was very enjoyable and delicious, especially next to the pool. Overall, a wonderful stay with great value for money.
