This property is in dire need of renovation. The bed was uncomfortable and hard and the TV is only in Spanish. We ended up with sore backs in the morning. It is a 2-2.5 star hotel at its best. For the basic rate, there is no fridge in the room. The towels were dirty and had to ask for a switch twice. I would not stay in this hotel again. For 160$US per night I think you can find more comfortable accomodation but we were there through the peak holiday season. Pros: the staff are very friendly especially Mariacruz at the reception whom was very pleasant and helpful. The breakfast is not a buffet or continental, they make it to order from a limited menu list which was nice. The grounds are well kept. The hotel is also located very close to Tamarindo and is convenient for tourist shopping. The pool area is nice if you have children. Walkable to Tamarindo beach and 2 hours from Liberia Airport.

Good Tamarindo Hotel Near Beach, Bars and Restos
Nice hotel, very well located in Tamarindo: only a 2 minutes walk to the Tamarindo Beach with lots of restaurants, bars and stores at a walking distance as well. We loved the amazing pool / outdoor area with the swimming bar. The hotel offered free breakfast and free surf board rentals which was a nice plus. Our room was nice. The decor was a bit outdated, but the bed was super comfortable, and our room had a beautiful view of the ocean. Could use a little more cleanliness around the bathroom but overall it was ok for our needs. We think it offers a good price / quality ratio and great location near everything but away from all the noise. We would come back. Speaking of noise, just be aware that the hotel is quiet on all nights except Fridays. The hotel outdoor area turns into a huge nightclub as of 8 PM and until 2:30AM. We weren’t aware of this before the check-in where we were asked to sign a waiver. If you plan to have a good rest on a Friday night, this might not be the right hotel, but if you want to dance to the sounds of a salsa band, old school hip hop or reggaeton, then go for it!

This was a beautiful hotel and we loved staying here. When we got here, they didn't have our reservation at all, even though I had the email from Expedia. So Expedia really screwed the pooch on that one... The hotel was really friendly and professional and moved us into one of their villas for no extra charge. We were able to be closer to the pool and had a beatiful view of the ocean. The pool was so relaxing and we went every single day we were here (2 weeks). I was disappointed in the food here: the breakfast wasn't great and whatever option you choose when you check in is what they give you every day until you ask to change it, and there was a restaurant there that was only open for lunch, so we had to leave to get dinner or lunch. All of the staff were so nice. The bartenders had sub par skills, but were chatty and fun. I recommend you learn some simple Spanish skills as many people in the town speak only Spanish or broken English. Also, most of the workers at the hotel don't speak English and I could tell they appreciated that I made an effort to speak their native language. The bed was comfortable and they came to clean the room every day (even the sand from the beach).

A little more in a older Latino style than a contemporary USA style, but nice. 50 yards away from the beach that you can see from the room. Good pool and restaurant area. They have an agreement with a surf school so you get surfboards, kayaks and paddle for free. Lessons for a price. Loved that!
