Perfect location right on the beach with a fantastic sunset. Very friendly and helpful staff. Comfortable beds and pillows. Great breakfast places 50–100 meters away. If we come back to Tamarindo, we would gladly stay here again.

“Wonderful location in Tamarindo, lovely hotel”
The location was excellent, in the centre of town yet very quiet at night. The deck chairs and hammocks reserved from guests were very welcome, and allowed us to have our own private space very close to the beach ( so close, on high tide the water comes lapping at your feet. It was very warm when we went there but the aircon and the ceiling fans were excellent and quiet, which was a real bonus.

“Will not return because of costs.”
Breakfast very basic, not very yummy or quanity impressive. Hotel lobby and restaurant very ran down and needs lots of improvements. Accommodation very spacious, nicely renovated and very clean however horribly dangerous stairs to and from room. Such a premium priced location should offer Supreme choices.

“Pleasant and comfortable stay, convenient location and decent value for money in that area.”
Excellent location on the beach and close to bars, restaurants and shops. My room had a view directly out to the beach and I enjoyed having the bedroom upstairs and a living area downstairs.

“For the price, a great value and location. Probably best for night owls or those under 40 though :)”
Our room was clean, functional, and had everything we needed. The location of our room was awesome--right on the beach. Rolando was very helpful in booking an excursion for us and helping with parking.
