I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The rooms were basic but had comfortable beds and a good-sized, clean bathroom. I loved the proximity to the pool and the fantastic restaurant/bar cabana just a few steps away. The private patio area with chairs and plants added a nice touch of privacy.

The hotel is located right in Tamarindo, offering a great pool and outdoor dining area, with a lovely quiet and secluded feel despite being near the beach, fun bars, and great food. The rooms, although basic, are clean and comfy with comfortable beds, but could benefit from an upgrade. The service was friendly and helpful overall, but some minor issues were noted. The dining options were tasty but slightly limited. In terms of facilities, there were several conveniences available.

The hotel is centrally located and within walking distance to the beach, shops, and restaurants, making it convenient for a short stay. However, the rooms looked different from the pictures and lacked maintenance and cleanliness, with an unpleasant smell from the street affecting the experience.

The room with 1 double bed and 2 single beds was not as expected, and the cleanliness and maintenance were subpar. The strange trash smell from the street was quite off-putting.

The hotel is within walking distance to the beach, shops, and restaurants, but the area needs maintenance due to uneven surfaces. The presence of howler monkeys and iguanas adds a unique touch to the setting.
