Great a/c, Super friendly staff, quaint poolside allowing for guest interaction, and convenient location

The host and staff were welcoming and friendly during our stay. The pool was nice and the area was walkable to the beach and restaurants.

We needed service on the mini fridge, and they did it right away.I used Google translate to help me with Spanish to ask questions of staff if the owner was away. I just wrote the question on paper, then they could help me right away.

The location is great. It’s quiet and safe. We enjoyed our trip. It felt like fancy camping. The mattress is made of springs and is very uncomfortable. There is a market close buy where you can by shampoo, body soap, or anything else you may need. The stairs do make noise when you walk up them but they are solid. We put bug spray at the base of the door daily to keep ants and other insects out. (We have friends stay at a very nice casa just up the street and they also had bug problems because it’s Costa Rica where all the bugs live). The pool area is nice and there is an orange cat that roams around saying hello to people working on their tans. Laundry was super easy, we left a bag with one of the property caretakers in the morning and got it back faster than expected. We were here for a wedding so we had the chance to check out the many different places you could stay around Tamarindo. This place was better than a hostel because it has AC and is quiet. It’s not as comfortable as some of the nicer hotels closer to the nightlife/food but my friends complained those places where too noisy and they had trouble sleeping. Best food we found all in walking distance: Sol Bakery, Zolu Taco Bar, Breaking Bread.
