This hotel felt more like a hostel BUT it was still very nice. Private room with bathroom and great AC. Staff was super friendly and helpful when we had questions. Great location - pretty centrally located. You only had ~10 min walk any direction to get to the “end” of the where there were shops, beaches, and dining/bars. Would absolutely stay here again if we revisited Tamarindo!

Hotel is not well-maintained. During a 3 day stay, my TV and A/C broke (both fixed). The plumbing is old and cannot handle TP, so you throw soiled TP in a trash can. Drapes are too small for windows so you are up at dawn plus the curtain rod falls off if you try to adjust. Shower water was cool. Many broken floor tiles in my room. Tamarindo is full of drug dealers too. Two stars is generous.

I really enjoyed my stay here. It was all I needed. It’s a basic room but that did the job for me as a solo female traveler. It’s a few steps away from the beach. Clean and just a good vibe. Beyond all the front desk lady helped me immensely with EVERYTHING from changing my room to riding her motorcycle for 15 min to direct me to a path that was not under construction to help with translation and grocery shopping. She was just the best. Just keep in mind, some of the rooms that are closer to street might be noisy at night. If you are a light sleeper like me ask for a more quiet room
