The property is a short and pleasant walk into Tamarindo along the beach. The hotel provides a continental breakfast of fresh fruit, cereals, toast, etc, brought to your room at a prearranged time. They also organized our airport transfers. They can help arrange other tours/activities, but we didn’t take advantage of that, overall very nice property on the beach. Clean, quiet and in a good location if you would like to be close to things but not right in the middle. We arrived right at the beginning of tourist season on a Monday, and sleepy little Tamarindo definitely got busier as the week progressed. I imagine high season can be quite bustling.

We went to Costa Rica to visit our daughter who lives and works there. The hotel has a strict no guests in the room policy, or on the property. In fairness, there is a bathroom behind reception and they let her use that to change, etc., when she came by to see us.

The hotel staff were friendly, attentive and always willing to help. Every request was answered quickly and with a smile. The pool area was like a little oasis and perfect spot for relaxing. The beach was just feet away from the room.

The walk to town was the worst of the stay but it wasn’t really that bad. You could walk along the beach which was an easier walk or you can walk along the street side. There is a nicely paved sidewalk which takes you directly to the heart of the town center where all the restaurants and shops are. If walking is not your thing you can rent golf carts or bikes to get around.

room was very clean and breakfast was brought in at the same time every day.

we noticed that the security by the outside ocean area allows anyone and everyone to access the grounds which made us feel like we had to watch all of our belongings. the security is not like when we stat at Capitan Suiza where they do not allow anyone on there grounds and you can leave your belongings on beach chairs and not have to worry. That would be my biggest complaint that the security is very lax and especially when you pay that kind of money to stay there.

Location on beach, and staff making sure you were attended to.

A mat to wipe sand off feet outside of door could have been provided. Also the shower floor had sharp stones on it, put a washcloth on the floor so my feet wouldn’t hurt in shower. Didn’t know til the last of four day stay that there was a rubber mat rolled up in the cabinet under the sink. Also they could easily put a small bar on their beach property do guests wouldn’t have to go out and buy at the grocery store.

Breakfast delivered to your door every morning. The front bungalow was delightful and steps from the beach. The property has their own private area on the beach with hammocks and lounges. Overall the property was a fantastic option, just far enough away from the very popular and crowded tourist restaurants to be private, but still able to walk down for a meal or drinks. Beautiful. Will be dreaming of this place for years to come.

We didn't stay long enough! Could easily have set up there for a week.

Loved the fresh fruit every morning. Plenty to eat. Helpful security watched over valuables as we swam in the ocean. The pool was great for cooling off but is not a place for older kids to really play. I would recommend for couples or families with young children. The fact that there is no restaurant forced us to explore. There are L ots of good places to eat within easy walking distance.

Everything was wonderful. My husband and I had a beachfront bungalow which was clean, comfortable, and had an ocean view. Walking distance to everything. Short walk along the beach to all the beach front restaurants or walk along the road into town. Or both! They had surf boards available to rent. Breakfast is included and is delivered to your room everyday. Next time we will bring our kids with us. It’s very kid friendly. And monkeys in the trees outside our room!

The location was great if you want to be on the beach but a little bit away from the busier middle section. It's off to the side a little so not noisy at night but still a quick 7 minute walk from all the Tamarido restaurants, shops and fire shows. There is no restaurant in the hotel itself, but continental breakfast is provided and was the perfect start to the day. Fruit was always so fresh. Rooms are simple but do have a little kitchenette, which was handy. The gal who gives massages next to the beach is amazing. Highly recommend.

Beautiful settings, great staff, clean, curtious. Nice beach front, quick walk to town via the beach or sidewalk. AC was cold, nice balcony, pool clean and tidy. Front desk was readily available and knowledgable of items I asked about. I would go back.

Didn't have a restaurant on property although there were a half dozen up and down the beach. Beach was just a few steps away and always raked and clean. Security was good, never had a second thought about it. Friendly merchants were available on the beach front, but not over bearing.

It has an incredible location... remote/quiet, but close to everything via a walk on a quiet street or on the beach. Staff is super helpful. The breakfast is the perfect size to start your day and delivered to your door!

Some of the rules are not enforced. There were guest who consistently smoked/vaped around the pool. The pool being smaller and sparsely used, but still smoker "fumes" were very evident. Same held in the private beach area. Although the breeze helped we had to move if we were down wind.
