Excellent location! Minutes to the market, bus, restaurants. Very clean rooms with comfy bed. All basics were available. Thursday gathering for guests were a really nice touch. Friendly and helpful staff.

This is a great option for a woman traveling alone. The staff are personable, welcoming, and incredibly helpful. I connected with them via WhatsApp before my arrival, and they helped coordinate my transportation to Liberia Airport (about a 1 hour and 20 minute drive), book excursions, and answer any questions I had.
I also appreciated how safe the property felt. Because of the hotel's layout, the staff have a good view of who is coming and going, which added an extra sense of security.
The location is another major advantage. It's on a quiet side street, away from the busiest part of Tamarindo, yet only a 5-minute walk to Tamarindo Beach. Restaurants, shops, the Artisan Market, and a grocery store are all just a 2-minute walk away, making it easy to explore the town on foot.
I also opted for the breakfast package and would recommend it. The breakfasts were delicious, the portions were just right, and it was a convenient way to start the day before heading out to the beach or on an excursion. Overall, I found the hotel to be an excellent value for the price.
This is a very minor point, but room cleaning tended to happen later in the day. The rooms were always cleaned well; however, if you plan to spend part of the day in your room, it may take a little while before housekeeping comes by. It wasn't an issue for me, but it's something to keep in mind if you prefer your room serviced earlier.

Being able to get breakfast by the pool was a huge bonus! Very friendly staff and owner, extremely attentive to our questions and needs. They helped us to arrange a couple of tours. Loved the large pool.

The location was great, the staff were super friendly and helpful! The coworking space with strong ACs and good chairs is a great plus if you plan to work remotely.
The property physically was very worn out, the bathroom felt like it will fall into pieces. Very slow workers were constantly refurbishing something around the pull, but the property needs a major upgrade, not slight refurbishment.
