We stayed here for a week in March and it was fantastic! The staff were INCREDIBLE, they live on site and they have a few pet dogs that free roam the property. It has a beautiful pool and is conveniently located right in the main area of town and literally just STEPS to the ocean. You’ll notice the reviews mention how noisy the hotel is because of its location and it definitely is noisy but it really didn’t bother us because we played so hard during the day we crashed hard at night and most of the bars and parties in the area wrapped up between 10pm-midnight. We would choose to stay here again, hands down.

Close to it all

Hotel Mar Ray was a neat little hotel with a great pool area and decent sized rooms very close to beach and all bars, restaurants and mini supermarkets. Enjoyed our stay although it is getting a little dated which we weren’t concerned about.

Very enjoyable, excellent location

The hotel is affordable, comfortable and in a prime location in Tamarindo. You can walk to the beach and all of the shops and restaurants in the area within minutes. This isn’t a resort, but has everything you need if you enjoy spending the majority of your time enjoying the beach, town, culture, and being more independent than a resort setting. The pool is a very nice spot to come back to and is a lovely setting, also has an outdoor cooking area if you want to prepare some of your own meals. They will also help you book tours/experiences as well if you aren’t as independent when traveling internationally. Staff were very kind and felt like good friends by the time we left!

We stayed for seven days at this lovely hotel. Staff was very friendly and helpful in booking transport to and from airport and our sunset cruise. We had a king bed that was comfortable. The hotel is right in the center of the action and across the street from the beach. The pool area was very cute, and the water was refreshing from the sun. It can get very noisy at night but a couple of more of margaritas helped to drown out the noise. Overall would recommend staying here.

Location was the best. Walk to the beach in 3 minutes. Coffee Cafe, restaurants bars, live music, and a grocery store all around the hotel. The pool was surrounded by beautiful trees and plants making it feel tropical. The property was gated and fenced making us feel very safe. Our room was cleaned each day. The bed was comfortable and the air conditioner worked great, we slept good. We viewed other properties in the area for a future trip this fall. We will be staying at hotel Mar Rey! Thank you to the friendly staff who took care of our needs. See you in the fall, Pura Vida 🌴

Great location for access to the beach, dining, shops, banks, tour operators, and all the action. I also loved the large balcony with view of the pool, private courtyard like setting, and outdoor kitchen. the rooms are simple and have all the basics plus small fridge and small microwave. Rooms are spacious and comfortable. Note: The downtown area of Tamarindo is concentrated around one main road and a couple side streets. The entire area can be a bit noisy in the evening until midnight due to the music at open bars, motorcycles, and other motorists. Only the outskirts of the town seemed to be protected from this. It’s quite lively! For in-town options this hotel seemed to be one of the best.
