Tamarindo hotellia

Plussat: We loved staying here, it was peaceful, beautiful, clean and welcoming. Everything was perfect for out first time there. I would recommend this to anyone. The only thing to keep in mind is this is a boutique hotel not a all inclusive resort

Plussat: This location is awesome because it is on a beach that is swimmable with fewer rocks. The staff were fun and very helpful. The rooms were very clean and really comfortable beds. My friend stayed in one of the beachside bungalows and that room was really cool! Worth the extra $.

Miinukset: The food could use some improvement.

Plussat: Excellent hotel, food, and wonderful staff.

Miinukset: Leaving.

Plussat: Great location, friendly staff, great food and helpful concierge to plan activities

Plussat: Breakfast was fabulous. Location was fine.

Miinukset: We didn't enjoy the barbeque as much as we enjoyed the previous night's sit-down regular dinner.

Plussat: Excellent staff, Perfect Management welcome, Beautiful setting and a fascinating Abundance of wild Fauna.

Plussat: My wife and i went to Costa Rica on our honeymoon, and we spent our final five days at the Tamarindo Bay Boutique Hotel. We absolutely loved it, hated to leave and can’t wait to come back again. Everything from the location, to the ambiance and decor, and especially the staff, was top notch. We can’t imagine staying anywhere else in Tamarindo.

Plussat: The hospitality

Plussat: Amazing property Marie did everything to make me feel welcome and comfortable

Miinukset: There’s nothing I didn’t like about this property

Plussat: I loved everything about this hotel. Small, quiet, convenient, clean, friendly and knowledgeable staff, clean and warm pool, close to town, excellent food, comfortable large rooms, inexpensive, wow!

Miinukset: There really wasn't anything at all to complain about.

Plussat: We loved everything about our stay here. Beautiful grounds, welcoming hosts, lovely room, and delicious breakfast. It was also in the perfect location, within walking distance of the town and beach.

Plussat: Arriving up a dusty road we were pleasantly surprised when we stepped inside the oasis that is Tamarindo Bay Boutique Hotel. The hotel has a chilled vibe and the pool area was great, with a choice of beds, bean bags, hammocks or hanging chairs. Free filtered water and coffee/tea available all day. We had a lovely welcome from Marie the Manager. Our room was great. Very light and airy, just on the right side of minimalist so as to be comfortable, calming and clutter free but not soul-less. Thoughtful extra touches such as an umbrella and ice bucket in the room (ice always available in the freezer). A lovely big comfortable bed with great pillows and really good quality cotton sheets. A hot power shower with good quality toiletries in the bathroom. Breakfast was great , a selection of toast, fruit, rice and beans, eggs, yoghurt, home made cake, cereal, tea, coffee and juices. The breakfast was served in an alfresco area, surrounded by lots of greenery such as fragrant ylang ylang, jasmine and pretty orchids. Breakfast was served by Marie or the owner Bathsheba. Both were really lovely and took a real interest in their guests. Real thought has been put into this hotel and the guest experience and the little extra touches really made a difference. Great location too, only 5/10 minutes to restaurants and the beach. Our only disappointment was that we were not staying longer!! Thank you guys for a lovely relaxing 5 days, Tracy and David.

Miinukset: Our only disappointment was that were not staying longer!

Plussat: This Hotel was amazing. Everything was superb from the moment you arrive at the property. Staff and owner were really nice! I liked all the little details around the Hotel, in the rooms and at the pool area to make the stay even better! They helped us arrange some activities and a car rental, they really took their time with the guests which was so nice and helpful. Higly recommended!! And the location was superb, short distances to restaurants and the beach.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The stuff is very friendly and helpfully, thx to Maria!

Miinukset: Breakfast could be more various.

Plussat: From the moment we got through the gates we knew this would be a great place to stay. Everything was immaculate, the staff were so helpful & welcoming, each guests get a guide book to the town which is a real bonus. We were there during Tamarindo's busiest time but it was lovely and peaceful in the hotel and you could watch the birds & iguanas whilst having breakfast.

Miinukset: This is only a minor thing but the room felt like it could use a desk/sideboard, it was so big but felt a bit too minimalist.

Plussat: I truly appreciate the personal touches and care of Marie. She made me feel at home and helped me to extend my stay. I also booked a tour through them, which was an awesome experience. As a location independent professional this goes a long way.

Miinukset: N/A

Plussat: Kevin and the staff were fantastic. From start to end they were so welcoming, helpful, and friendly. The breakfast every morning really started the day out correctly. So good! The rooms are amazing and the whole chill, chic, vibe of the place made for a great complement to the Tamarindo experience. A little oasis from the beach and the town.

Miinukset: Seeming complaint at first is really a strength; little tricky to get to but the map they provide is immensely helpful. Nice that it's a street or two away from the main strip.

Plussat: Kindness. Everyone was extremely pleasant, greetings, asking us how we were. The food was superb for lunch, dinner and snacks. Free shuttle bus was excellent. Loved the outside shower and the spa.

Miinukset: The travel to and from the airport or places outside of Tamarindo was pricey. We flew into San Jose and had no idea how far Tamarindo was.

Plussat: The free laundry service

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Absolutely everything! True paradise❤️

Plussat: Personalized experience. good facility. close to town.

Miinukset: Slightly older facility

Plussat: What is not too like. The staff are more than welcoming and absolutely amazing in every way. Everyone was so helpful. Free bikes free taxis. The free breakfast was out of this world. Would recommend this place to absolutely everyone that is looking for a nice place to stay. Knock 50$ off for the breakfast buffet. Best breakfast I have had in my life.

Plussat: Amazing room, the pool and the beach were lovely. We felt very well looked after.

Plussat: Beautiful place! We took the villa with the pool it was huge. Great size pool. The hotel pool is also great, love the food! Great options for vegetarian. Amazing staff and service.

Miinukset: The only think we didn't like was the beach it was a bit rocky but there are planty of beautiful beaches near by

Plussat: Everything from the staff to the services and the locations. Their attention to details was amazing

Miinukset: Continuous sound coming from the pool area all night long, clicking sound of the vent which made it impossible to turn it on during night time; therefore a minus in comfort

Plussat: Food is great, do not need to go elsewhere You have yoga classes, fitness classes Complimentary sunset cocktail

Miinukset: Tea not organic, could be organic

Plussat: The service was amazing and the staff couldn’t have been more friendly.

Miinukset: The bed, pillows, and sheets were horrible. It was hard to sleep some nights. The bed was very hard, the pillows were way too big and the only bedding were 2 very thin sheets (no comforter/quilt). Also, the beach at the hotel is very rocky and you can’t swim there. It is about a 15 minute walk down the beach to get to an area that you can swim in.

Plussat: Nice jungle feel. Lots of Gecos and dragons around and the bungalow allow for privacy. Good breakfast, Coco makes you the omelette of your dreams. Also 2 if you want

Miinukset: Room a little small. Dusty dirt road to walk to the beach

Plussat: Room and room balcony

Miinukset: Restaurant @ night. Expensive and average food and service

Plussat: Very clean and comfortable. Everything is very well cared for. Breakfast was good, real orange juice and an egg-station. Cleaning staff and breakfast ladies exceptionaly good :-)

Plussat: Great location - an easy walk to the beach and downtown Tamarando is just down the street from the hotel. I would definitely stay here again.

Plussat: The owner(Richard) is always on site. He is very personable and always asks if everything is ok and all yours needs are met. The breakfast is fabulous with numerous choices from made to order omelettes to pancakes. On site restaurant is fabulous. Great food!

Miinukset: Absolutely nothing!

Plussat: Rooms were clean. Private nice for couples

Miinukset: Far from beach. Need to work on the very simple breakfast menu

Miinukset: The hotel is very run down. The pool is the saddest thing to look at let like hang or swim in. Zero food.

Plussat: The staff and owner were very friendly, helpful and accommodating. The property was private and quiet.

Plussat: Arco Iris had a great feel to it. The pool is very nice. Richard is a super cool guy and is extremely friendly. We had to leave at 4:00 am to catch our flight and Richard gave us some fruit, muffins, and juice. He offered that up without us even asking. We were very happy with the location. You are just far enough from the noise of the main street, but still able to walk to everything. The beach is maybe a 5 minute walk. There is a walking path from the hotel to a road with tons of great restaurants. If you feel like staying in for a nice meal, they lease their dining space to one of the best restaurants in Tamarindo, Seasons by Shlomy. We traveled to 4 different cities in Costa Rica and this hotel was our favorite by far.

Miinukset: The air conditioner in our room was kind of weak. It worked a little better at night. We weren't around much during the day so it didn't bother us much.

Plussat: I loved the homemade bagel and real orange juice they provided.

Plussat: it's a little off the main scene of Tamarindo but not too far away, which makes it quiet at night. Breakfast with Cynthia is amazing. I recommend having it there at least once. Our room was spacious (kingsize bed), clean and we had a silent AC unit as well as a fan and a fridge. outside was a table and two chairs to sit. the pool looked clean, we did not use it though. For that price I don't think you get anything better in Tamarindo. Bus station nearby

Miinukset: There were some ants inside the room, maybe place and ant-trap inside the rooms?

Plussat: It is a great small hotel, near the main downtown. A quiet place to stay.

Plussat: Clean, swimming pool, surrounded by a lot of tropical plants and trees.

Miinukset: Some red ants into the room.

Plussat: The included breakfast was Amazing! Huge, fresh-baked croissant with scrambled eggs, ham and cheese. Also, some cut up fresh fruit on the plate. Yum. A delicious Cappuccino rounded out the meal. A very comfortable bed, very good A/C, very good wi-fi and very friendly staff made the stay quite enjoyable. Also, a nice pool surrounded by lush vegetation. I would definitely stay here again if in Tamarindo!

Plussat: Nice facility, great location and very helpful owner

Miinukset: Would be nice to have more variety in breakfast menu

Plussat: Beach front location is a plus, close to Tamarindo center and right infront of the main street, close by restaurants and shops. Personal is very kind and with goodwill to help.

Miinukset: Some rooms looks kind of old, some others are a little better but IMO the place is more in the expensive side for what it offers. TV channes don't work property, also there was no freeze in any room, and in our case the toilet pump didn't work property. Doors aren't as secure as you can expect from a hotel but the place is located in a secure spot so it helps a little.

Plussat: Beautiful view, great location , very friendly hosts, best breakfast ever, nice garden in the shade with beach view. Very good fish restaurant next door.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Good location, and very easy to move around and the beach is right at the backyard.

Miinukset: Rooms looks somehow old, wifi is terrible, perhaps adding a proper breakfast could add value to the place, NO freeze on the rooms a beach hotel without a small freeze is unbelievable

Plussat: Alexia and Olivier are extremely gracious hosts. They go above and beyond to make your stay comfortable and enjoyable. I was Travelling alone with my 8 month old and they were so helpful, organized all my activities and my transportation and helped me with my son. I loved staying there and can’t wait to go back.

Plussat: The location backing onto the beach, and beside a good restaurant are a definite bonus. The room itself was spacious - but the furnishings were worn and there was no balcony/sitting area. The owner and gardener were both friendly. The breakfast was fine - omelette and crepes - but the bread was average (no fresh baked pastry as advertised in the other reviews).

Miinukset: The hotel is located on the busy main road. Workers were out front constructing a bathroom/shed when we arrived on a Sunday afternoon. Zero curb appeal to step over extension cords etc. upon arrival.

Plussat: The location was out of the way and the view was lovely.

Miinukset: Everything was great.

Plussat: Locations between the beach and the manglar. Great rooms, very comfy. Alexia the host was great, gave us good recomendations and was very nice. She self cooked the breakfasts that were incredible, best ive eaten in costa rica. The hotels yard is full of wildlife, iguanas, monkeys, and a few species of birds. Dont want to leave this place! Totally recomended!! Paradise in Tamarindo.

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: Excellent room, amazing breakfast, great staff, good location

Plussat: My fiancé and I had a wonderful seven night stay at Casa Blanca. The location at the end of Playa Tamarindo is very peaceful and the views from the patio are exceptional. We loved waking up to freshly made breakfast on the patio every morning; it was an amazing treat and an exceptional value. The owners were very kind and attentive to anything we needed. We would definitely stay again. This small hotel is truly a gem in busy Tamarindo. You will feel at peace! We enjoyed seeing monkeys right at the property and the restaurant next door is great. Thank you for everything, Alexia and Olivier!

Plussat: The hosts were very friendly and knows what they're doing. The location is above amazing - a relatively quiet stretch of beach next to a national park, this is one of the most well-located places I've ever stayed at. The property is also beautiful, with modern styling and an inviting outdoor seating area. Lots of wildlife here and there appearing in the garden, such as birds and iguanas. The breakfast is absolutely gourmet!

Miinukset: Traffic on the road was a bit rough during peak xmas season, but not unmanageable.

Plussat: Absolutely perfect in every aspect. Location, rate and staff.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Very good service, rooms at the beach, nice area for hotel people only with sun bed

Miinukset: some smell from the nearby reastaurant

Plussat: Audrey always hade a beautiful smile and went out of her way to help at the front desk

Miinukset: A few more clothes hooks.

Plussat: Perfect location, great restaurant, great staff Brian, Henry, Michael ETC. highly recommend this place.

Miinukset: No complaints whatsoever which is rare for me :)

Plussat: The location is right in the centre of the beach activity. Amazing staff and all around good vibe!

Miinukset: String sewage odours

Plussat: Beachfront access says it all. If you’re looking for luxury not my first choice but not bad. That said, very nice and clean hotel/bungalow to have a romantic stay in.

Miinukset: Privacy and local hustlers(bird whistles, beads, etc)

Plussat: Everyone was so nice. The location was perfect. The free breakfast and all the food at restaurant was amazing. Rolando was super helpful and so nice. We loved it here!

Plussat: The suite with a loft bed and private terrace was much bigger than I expected for a beachfront location Near all amenities and on one of the best parts of the beach

Miinukset: A pool would have been nice

Plussat: Right on the beach & close to many shops, bars, cafes.

Miinukset: Bathroom very small, but adequate for us. Size of bathroom would be a challenge for large people. Steep steps to sleeping loft, not for the unsteady. We enjoyed our stay because of beach front, hammocks.

Plussat: The view was incredible! And lots of outdoor seating available for the hotel guests. The restaurant was right on the beach and had good food at a reasonable price as well.

Miinukset: The bathroom was small. I’m only 5’2” and it felt tight to me. I can’t imagine what a big and or tall person would feel!

Plussat: Great location and friendly staff. Our room had an outside kitchen which was great to cook breakfast and coffee. The bathroom toiletries were nice and replenishes every day.

Miinukset: A bit noisy in the morning from the restaurant and the mattress wasn’t the most comfortable

Plussat: Cozy family friendly

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: Beds, blankets, food

Plussat: Wonderful hospitality, great atmosphere, perfect location (5 mins walk from the beach and downtown), cosy and clean room. We absolutely loved this place!

Miinukset: Everything was just perfect!

Plussat: Location was perfect, not too far but not to close to the activity. Pool and bar were great.

Plussat: Staff very friendly and helpful

Plussat: Location, great value, swimming pool

Plussat: Excellent hotel - I will return The owners are wonderful people The Bungalow was super clean, the pool was great, the fresh pasta and the staff were welcoming. The other guests who happened to be from Italy were also amazing - We had one of the best experiences at this hotel - Tamarindo is amazing - Great beaches, restaurants, yoga etc We will come back -- Ciao

Miinukset: I wish we could have had more time to stay longer

Plussat: Hotel Luna Llena was amazing we were traveling with a 8 month old so we really enjoyed the quiet setting, just a block away from the beach and the main part of Tamarindo, we had a car rented but didnt have to drive unless we left town. Clean rooms and friendly staff we stayed in bungalow 6, it had a loft with two twin beds and the main floor had a king bed with a kitchen and bathroom. Cable TV, we don't speak spanish but was good to have cartoons for the little one. All the rooms are centered around the pool offering food and drinks from noon-3 and 6-9PM. The landscaping was very nice, providing privacy, quiet and just a calm vibe, very relaxing, we enjoyed spending time there.

Miinukset: Wifi signal was weak in the room, good around the pool. Beds were a little too hard for our liking.

Plussat: Location Distance to beach and downtown good

Miinukset: Breakfast menu should have had more options

Plussat: Breakfast was good.

Miinukset: Dirty bathroom walls. Ceiling linked. Owners were very rude!!

Plussat: The staff

Miinukset: To upgrade the facilities

Plussat: The lady running it was super helpful for a last minute transfer to San José. The room was great, new feel and pool and outside areas too

Plussat: This is one of my favorite hotels, the second time I've visited. It's a great spot to relax. The owner is super friendly. Great location by the grocery store, easy walk to the beach. I'll def be back next year.

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: We loved this little hotel. We stayed in one of the apartments, fully equipped so we were able to prepare breakfast and a couple of simple meals. The owner and staff are super friendly, the place is on one of the main streets but built in a way that seems secluded, very quiet. There is a lovely coffee shop right by it. It is super close to supermarkets and great places to eat. The beach is 5 minutes walking if that much.

Plussat: Great rooms, comfortable, modern, clean, nice pool, monkeys on the grounds!

Miinukset: The only real issues is that all night there was pounding music I guess from a bar or club near by? Not sure where came from, but it was really loud and made it almost impossible to sleep, even with ear plugs.

Plussat: We got upgraded to a very nice room with a terrace. Location is also very good

Miinukset: Our room wasn't cleaned every day, and even if it was, it wasn't done properly. After 10pm guests are not allowed

Plussat: Nice modern room, very nice bathroom, big wardrobe, big and comfortable bed. Beautiful garden were you can sit. Great location, quiet place, but very close to center and shops

Plussat: I really liked the staff at the front desk. I can’t remember the name of the lady who check me in, unfortunately, but she went beyond her duties: called me a reliable taxi for my return and recommended a great sunset cruise too. Loved the privacy of my room and the deck.

Plussat: Position near to beach, to restaurants and clubs, but far enough to not have noise, very kind support from the manager Antonella

Miinukset: A bit overpriced

Plussat: Breakfast was fantastic. Great spot for R&R. Location is excellent and hotel is quiet. Room was comfortable, spacious and A/C worked great. We were able to get good rest. Rooms were cleaned first thing in the morning.

Miinukset: Parking situation. There is not private parking. Parking is in front of hotel but anyone can park in front of hotel. Maybe they could enforce parking passes or have a security person watching parking. I felt the restaurant staff could have been more attentive to drinks or service by the pool especially when no one was in the restaurant/bar.

Plussat: The hotel grounds were beautiful and my room was clean and comfortable. The hotel was also quiet and serene compared to the madness of downtown Tamarindo which is just outside the hotel (great location!).

Plussat: The vibe and ambiance of the hotel in general

Miinukset: Just missed a working AC but the fan was more eco friendly :)

Plussat: Nice pool. Small size. close to the beach. decent price ($124 for 3 people in Nov, including breakfast) Nice staff.

Miinukset: breakfast was okay.

Plussat: Everything! Peace and quiet but close to everywhere, amazing bed, comfortable bathroom and the most amazing pool oasis!

Miinukset: Really had to think hard to find any floss and maybe the pool should be cleaned few times a day as it’s surrounded by trees so leaves and insects get in. But the pool was my favorite part of the whole hotel so it’s not a big thing!

Plussat: Great oasis right on the edge of town.

Plussat: Walking distance to town Lots of wildlife around Very quiet Lovely pool

Plussat: Really charming place and really helpful staff. Great value. WOuld go back for sure.

Miinukset: no complaints
