I had a decent stay at this hotel, with clean and comfortable rooms, though the noise from the nearby nightclub was a bit annoying after long days of traveling. The service was mostly friendly, albeit a bit overworked, and the location was fairly convenient, not too far from Tamarindo's hustle. Dining was good for the first few days, but after a week, I found it to become a bit repetitive. Overall, it was good value for money, but a few areas could use improvement.
