I had a pleasant stay at this hotel, enjoying the clean and cozy rooms along with the beautiful surroundings. The friendly staff went above and beyond to assist me, making the experience even more enjoyable. However, I found the dining options a bit lacking in variety, which was a downside. Overall, it’s great value for money, especially with the fantastic beach location right at our doorstep.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While the location was fantastic, right by the beach, and the pool area was really enjoyable, the rooms were quite dated and needed some cleaning. The staff was friendly, which was a plus, but the dining options were repetitive. Overall, I found it had its charms, but definitely not without its issues.

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.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, making my experience pleasant. However, the rooms had some cleanliness issues and were musty, which was disappointing. Additionally, the dining options were quite limited and repetitive. Still, the location is fantastic, close to the beach and away from the party crowd in Tamarindo, making it a convenient choice.
