9.2 Excellent
Pros: Very nice little BnB. Beautiful pool, very friendly host family and great & healthy breakfast.
Cons: I hope the payment (we have to pay the deposit through paypal) could be more clear up front.
9.6 Excellent
Pros: I had a lovely stay at Les Voiles Blaches. The property and garden are beautiful and the hosts Karyn and Michael went above and beyond to make my stay extra special from arranging tours to making me a vegan and gluten free breakfast. Highly recommended!
Cons: There really isn’t anything to dislike! I would recommend that you rent a car if you plan on venturing out. Otherwise Karyn and Michael have a taxi service that can take you into Tamarindo for $15.
10.0 Excellent
Pros: Rooms are modern furnished and have air-con. Bed is very comfortable. Nice and we'll kept property, the pool is refreshing and clean, shaded hammocks allow for relaxing. The breakfast is freshly prepared and was one of the best we had during our stay in Costa Rica! Karene and Michael are very nice people and run their business with a lot of passion. They are easy to reach via whatsapp or mail in case of questions.
Cons: -
10.0 Excellent
Pros: We loved our stay at Les Voiles Blanches B&B! The entire space is quiet, relaxing, and safe. The pool was clean/the perfect temperature and the hammocks strewn around the space were perfect for relaxing and enjoying the peaceful space. The room had everything we needed (great a/c and internet), comfortable king sized bed, and beautiful bathroom. The location was perfect, far enough away from trashy Tamarindo to be quiet/safe, but close enough to go to dinner and explore a wide array of beaches! Besides the amenities the hosts were fantastic! They were easy to communicate with, flexible, gave us wonderful recommendations (even set up sunset horseback riding for us) and provided a delicious breakfast! 10/10 would definitely book again and recommend staying here!!
9.6 Excellent
Pros: The breakfast was absolutely incredible . The rooms and the grounds were impeccable. Karene and Michael were amazing and helped us book 2 activities The hotel is a little far from the town of Tamarindo but it was very easy to get to. With that being said, we did feel like we were in our own little 4 room oasis.

9.2 Excellent
Pros: Amazing little property a short drive from Tamarindo. Quiet and peaceful location with great access to a number of beaches provided you have a car. Karene and Michael were wonderful hosts! Soo welcoming and attentive. They had great knowledge of the area and made fantastic suggestions on beaches to visit, restaurants to dine in and the best spots for sunset. Breakfast was brilliant, although more of a set breakfast rather than a menu. I would definitely stay here again !

Cons: The bed and pillows were quite hard. Everything else was so lovely, it was a bit disappointing to end the day uncomfortably. They did not have mattress toppers to make it softer. I would recommend investing in some for guests at request.

10.0 Excellent
Pros: Hotel Capitan Suizo was a little piece of paradise, honestly was magical. Staff were beyond accommodating and so friendly. Property, pool and room were very clean and well kept. Felt like a home away from home. A very rustic authentic Costa Rican experience, while still luxurious and location at the end of Tamarindo beach made it very private and quiet. Was a very special place, that we look forward to going back to again.
Cons: There was nothing that didn't meet our expectations - it was our first time in Costa Rica and we couldn't have asked for a better experience so absolutely no complaints!
9.6 Excellent

Pros: My wife and i went to Costa Rica on our honeymoon, and we spent our final five days at the Tamarindo Bay Boutique Hotel.

Pros: The hotel was great and Marie was lovely! We could tell that the property was well looked after and maintained. The service we received was excellent. We were able to rent our a portable cool box and boogie boards free of charge to take down to the beach. Wish we could have stayed longer!
Cons: We were super happy with everything. Tiny downside was that the hotel next door has an outdoor restaurant and was a little noisy, but not past 10pm.
10.0 Excellent
Pros: Clean rooms with all amenities in a great location with attentive management. Wonderful pool on site and a good breakfast service each morning. Beautiful modern bathrooms.

Pros: The whole hotel was gorgeous. Our room opened out onto the pool and the furnishings (in the room and common areas) were so pretty. Beds were super comfy and the shower was great. Everybody at the hotel was very friendly and helpful too, even organising our transport back to San Jose for us. We loved our stay here, wish we were staying longer.

10.0 Excellent
Pros: Small calm oasis right in the heart of Tamarindo. Great small pool in the center of the little complex and great communal seating area. Fab breakfast! My favorite thing about this property was that they are super environmentally conscious
Cons: Nothing to dislike
5.4 Okay
Pros: The decoration and the employee (man)
Cons: The location was not bad, but I do not recommend it, there are many hotels next to the beach and not much more expensive than this one. The service that gave us, the owner, or at least the manager left a lot to be desired, we had a plane and we asked her if it was possible to advance the breakfast 15 minutes, to which she said no. It is a very expensive place for the service they have, for me that kind of service is for places more crappy.

Pros: Everything was perfect. The room was incredible. Air conditioning worked great. Staff was amazing. Breakfast was nice and free sunset cocktails on beach was a nice touch. $5 taxi into town or you can rent golf cart or take bikes.

10.0 Excellent
Pros: Wonderful staff and a genuine boutique feel at the hotel sets it apart as one of the finest places I have ever stayed. The staff are attentive but never too much so. They have the balance just right. What’s more, the food is the best In Tamarindo and beats any restaurant in the town itself for both value and quality. In fact, Cala Luna’s restaurant was one of the best in which I have ever eaten anywhere in the world.

Cons: Nothing
7.5 Good
Pros: Breakfast was great. Rooms were clean, location excellent.
Cons: The lady working the front had a can't-be-bothered attitude that was off-putting. I ended up paying more than $150/night and probably could have stayed closer to the beach for that price.
9.6 Excellent
Pros: Arco Iris is well planned and very well kept. Really, the room was simple but immaculately cleaned daily, and the walk-in shower is just what I needed after all day at the beach. My bungalow (#6) had blackout curtains that let me sleep in as late as needed. Breakfast was the typical Costa Rica fare (rice, eggs, papaya, pineapple, coffee etc) and solo traveling I had a chance to chat with the owner Richard and other folks beside the pool. The beach is just down the road, and while you could find a place closer, for me this one checked all the boxes of convenience, comfort, cleanliness, etc.

Pros: The grounds of the hotel were beautiful gardens. The staff was friendly and the restaurant was delicious.

They take such good care of you like you are their family!
10.0 Excellent
Pros: 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.
Cons: 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.

Pros: Facilities were beautiful, pool, pool bar etc- all fabulous. Staff were helpful. Wildlife round the hotel was amazing iguana, pelicans, monkeys, raccoons and even a skunk!! all just wandering round and lots and lots of crabs!!
Cons: Only small things really; The wifi could have been better in the rooms. Not ideal when you have teenagers. The bedding smelt terrible. I think it must be stored damp. Sheets and pillow cases felt clean but smelt really strongly. There could have been a veggie option on the buffet in the evening. Lots of salads and vegetables but a main 'dish' would have been nice.

I stayed at two other beautiful hotels in Costa Rica that we cheaper and just generally more beautiful and enjoyable. The all inclusive was what you would expect buffet food and cheap alcohol.. the only good thing was one friendly staff member at dinner but as someone who travels a lot I wouldn’t recommend this hotel

There was a shirt hanging on curtains from previous guest. There was a fridge but it didn't work! I left the place, there was no way I could sleep there let alone shower and use those towels.

Pros: Beautiful property! The pool and garden are absolutely incredible, the location was amazing, super close to everything in Tamarindo. Breakfast was also fantastic! She even made us to go breakfast on days we had to leave early! Air conditioning was powerful on those hot days!
Cons: The shower pressure was close to nothing but the water was hot. We lost power on several occasions but that wasn’t the hotels fault it was just annoying because they can’t cook when that happens. The cleaning services basically was just him making your bed and mopping the floor. I would’ve like clean towels daily and maybe a sheet change.

Pros: It is like a small Italian villa with a lovely courtyard pool. The family managers were great to deal with and the breakfasts were very nice. The location in town is ideal.

10.0 Excellent
Pros: From the moment we arrived Walter met us with a smile and helped us with our bags. We stayed at the Hotel Flores for a week, our first trip to Taramindo. We stayed in the small apartment on site. The room was very clean and the bed was very comfortable. We had a very nice outside sitting area over looking the pool. It was extremely private and quiet!! The breakfast was delicious with lots of great choices. Paulo, the owner, and Walter both get five stars!! Every morning when we were at breakfast Walter slipped into the room and it was all made up by the time we returned!! The location was excellent close to the beach, a tiki bar across the street and a wonderful Italian restaurant next door!! What more could you want?

Pros: A basic B&B with nice location in Tamarindo. The room was equipped with an effective AC and a fridge. High speed internet available and good car parking. Nice breakfast in the morning and it was always a pleasure to be served by the friendly personnel.
Cons: The cleaning was not OK, especially not in the bathroom. internet was fast but WIFI was poor (swaying). You have to expect that you are in Costa Rica with a lot of wildlife such as birds singing, raccoons fighting and noisy monkeys, all this during night and morning hours.
7.5 Good
Pros: The small pool and gardens were pleasant. The owner takes pride in her hotel and keeps it in good condition. We felt private and safe there.
Cons: We were given free bottles of water without explanation there could be a temporary issue drinking the tap water in Tamarindo due to public sewer work. The hotel is charming and clean but the street is gravel and dusty during windy season.
8.8 Excellent
Pros: Great location. Very friendly and accommodating host. Great breakfast and coffee to start the day with.

10.0 Excellent
Pros: 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.
Cons: Nothing.
8.2 Excellent
Pros: Great rooms, comfortable, modern, clean, nice pool, monkeys on the grounds!
Cons: 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.
5.0 Okay
Pros: The location
Cons: The cleanness and the building was very old and I think they should invest in painting at least
7.5 Good
Pros: Good location
Cons: Rooms too small
10.0 Excellent
Pros: Great staff! We were upgraded to a larger room for no reason. Close to everything, though Tamarindo is small anyway. Good local food advice from staff.
5.8 Okay
Pros: The staff were nice, the pool was great and the place is fairly close to the beach and some fun bars but at the same time just far enough to avoid some of the noise.
Cons: Disappointed with the room, pictures made it look much nicer, it was pretty dirty, the sink barely works and the kitchen facilities were lacking, the stovetop didn’t work because the propane line leaked (shout-out to the security guard for fixing it for us though which was awesome) as a budget hotel room this place would be fine, but it’s over priced in my opinion.
8.3 Excellent
Pros: The location is perfect, the pool area is lovely, there have been monkeys and iguanas wandering about. The price is reasonable and the a/c works well.
Cons: The bathroom door is louvered so there is lack of privacy and the beds are hard. More water pressure in the shower would be nice.
10.0 Excellent
Pros: 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.
8.3 Excellent
Pros: The apartment was nice , clean and roomy.
Cons: The water pressure in the shower and sink was so low that we couldn't take a shower. We had to fill up water bottles and splash on us in order to take a shower. We didn't even wash our hair after being at the beach because we knew we won't be able to remove the shampoo from our hair.
10.0 Excellent
Pros: Hotel Nahua was great. The kitchen was well equipped. The air conditioning worked very well. It is right across the road from the bank and several bars and restaurants. Grocery store next door. Minutes to the beach. Staff were friendly and helpful. Would defiantly go again!!!!!
Cons: Better lighting in the room would be good.

When you stay at Hotel La Palapa in Tamarindo, you'll be on the beach, just steps from Tamarindo Beach and 11 minutes by foot from Grande Beach. Featured amenities include multilingual staff, luggage storage, and laundry facilities. A roundtrip airport shuttle is provided for a surcharge (available 24 hours), and free self parking is available onsite.
10.0 Excellent
Pros: The restaurant at La Palapa used to be one of the best restaurants in Tamarindo in the past, but the menu had changed and the quality of the food has declined. Over the past 10 years, we have stayed here and taken almost all of our meals at the restaurant, but not this time!
Cons: Nothing (except restaurant comments above).
10.0 Excellent
Pros: They man who runs the front desk is very friendly and accommodating. The rooms were very nice and opened up to a lovely courtyard. I highly recommend La Palapa.
10.0 Excellent

Cons: No complaints whatsoever which is rare for me :)
7.5 Good
Pros: Rolando was very friendly and helpful! The location right on the beach was great! The room itself was spacious and comfortable and had a kitchenette. It was nice to sit in the chairs or the hammocks and watch the sunset! Parking was included.
Cons: Although the hotel is beachfront, there is a restaurant in front of the hotel. And there are a lot of palm trees. So you don't really have a beach view from the room. It is still a nice palm tree view, but just not what we expected. Also, there was a lot of mosquitos in the room. I expected there to be mosquitos in the area because of the beach, but I didn't expect there to be a lot of mosquitos in the room itself. Definitely bring bug spray!
8.3 Excellent
Pros: I've stayed at this hotel three times now and the best thing about it, is most of the rooms are facing and just footsteps from the beach. The staff are very friendly and helpful especially Rolando who checks on his guest throughout their stay. Also the housekeeper does a good job each day, that said the rooms are basic but clean and this hotel is all about location!
Cons: The under stairs bathroom in the rooms with the bed upstairs are small and could be a challenge if you are a large/tall person! Also the bed in my room was very hard "but I still slept OK" and the sofa bed downstairs has seen better days! Also the chairs on the patio of my room were uncomfortable, so between the sofa and the chairs outside it was difficult finding somewhere to sit and have a relaxing read. That said, I still like this hotel.
10.0 Excellent
Pros: Location was absolutely fantastic. Easy access to everything. Definitely will stay here again.
Cons: Nothing really.
9.2 Excellent
Pros: The location is suberb, 10 steps away from the beach and the sea and in the middle of Tamarindo. Really nice relaxed atmosphere. Really cool surf lessons on the hotel site (La Palapa Surf) Our kids of 9 & 11 slept good at the beds, but for larger kids it is kind of small upstairs, so I would reccomend a second room.
10.0 Excellent
Pros: 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.
Cons: Privacy and local hustlers(bird whistles, beads, etc)
10.0 Excellent
Pros: Comfortable room. Great location!!
Cons: This is my second stay at La Palapa and location is everything... Rolando was outstanding as always and this room, was so comfortable.......I would recommend anyone going to Tamarindo to stay at the La Palapa....

Pros: breakfast was light but that's ok, dont need to eat too much! room was fab!

Pros: This is an excellent hotel in a quiet location at the very end of the beach. We stayed in a room with the big balcony and we fell in love with it instantly. Alexia, who is running this place is a lovely person and is taking a good care of this place. Our room was clean and the bathroom spacious with nice fancy cosmetics provided. Bed very comfortable and big. The breakfast was included and made with love. Freshly baked croissants, crunchy baguette, freshly pressed juice, coffee, scrambled eggs, fresh fruit and even the waffles as a treat from Alexia. The terrace in front of the hotel facing the beach is an amazing place to relax, super tidy and harmonic. Plenty of space to park your car in front of the hotel. Excellent value and hospitality on a whole different level.

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

Pros: We loved everything! Great location and view, great food both for breakfast and dinner, excellent and attentive staff.
4.6 Okay
Pros: The staff at the restaurant were amazing. They were always so nice to us.
Cons: When we complained to the front desk staff bout the deep tissue massage that wasn't "deep tissue" they were very rude to us, and they continued to be rude to us for the rest of our stay. And the hot tub in our room smelled. I don't know how often they cleaned it. It wasn't worth paying extra for.
10.0 Excellent
Pros: The hotel is very well located. It is very cozy perfect for couples.
10.0 Excellent
Pros: The food was excellent, fresh, and perfectly prepared with a great variety from day to day. Always served quickly and by a wonderful staff. Truly, exceptional all the way around. The décor, grounds, the elegance of the entire property were above and beyond my highest expectations. When a raccoon moved onto the roof of our suite on night two, Tatiana graciously upgraded us to a more decadent room with a Jacuzzi tub, gorgeous and absolutely exceptional. It's right in town and easy access to the shops, the beach and restaurants. We opted for the plan that includes breakfast and dinner, which I highly recommend. A great value, but also super convenient and absolutely delicious every time.
Cons: I can't think of a single thing! It rained a few time, but hardly the hotels doing! they had umbrellas and slip signs to assist.
10.0 Excellent
Pros: Everything! It was so amazing. The food was amazing, the staff was so polite, the place is so gorgeous and clean and quiet. Definitely one of the best places I ever been to. Geeez, and amazing views of gorgeous Costa Rica.
Cons: The only thing was the Raccoons on the roof making noise at night when u trying to sleep but it wasn’t too bad. I would definitely love to go back!
8.8 Excellent
Pros: Gorgeous views as you enter the hotel, very friendly staff and enjoyed the food.. in particular the breakfast mimosas. Hotel staff upgraded our room on arrival which was nice and meant we had sun loungers on the terrace to relax on rather than needing to be by the pool. I went to the morning yoga once which was an excellent addition.
Cons: We felt the prices were a little expensive, particularly for things like bottles of water at dinner! ($8.50 for san pelligrino?!) and it would have been better if the gym facilities were in the Jardin del Eden rather than the Diria sister hotel.
10.0 Excellent
Pros: Everything! One of the best hotels I have ever stayed, and l travel a lot! Beautiful design, great attention to details, superb amenities and friendly staff.

3.8 Mediocre
Pros: The pool and the location.
Cons: With the exception of Randall, bellman, the staff was uniformly indifferent bordering on rude. The food was terrible and the service no better. The hotel was under construction in the main restaurant and in the parking lot across the street which I wasn't aware of prior to my stay. There was no peace and quiet anywhere you went and not just from the construction - also from grounds maintenance. The property is beachfront, but it is split across both sides of a very busy main street so if you stay poolside you will have to cross the street. Also, we went during the rainy (low) season so the adults only pool was essentially closed - no service whereas the family pool (which was nice) had service but if you wanted an adult beverage you HAD to contend with the family pool.

4.2 Okay
Pros: Great location and beach. Good for learning to surf and walking distance to shops and restaurants.
Cons: The resort was under construction during our stay. The pool was right next to the construction and on the path to the beach. Probably the best resort on Tamarindo beach but did not meet expectations for $400/night for 2 small queen size beds near a busy road. There are no activities at the resort. It’s more like vacation rental than a resort. They allow horses and dogs on the beach. No clean up of horse poop.

Cons: The woman who runs the place is fantastic. Her front desk employee could use a little customer service training. He's fine, but gives off a not very friendly or helpful vibe. Hot water is not usually required in Tama, but ability to take a better than lukewarm shower would be nice when the water's cold. Some things arund the property could use repair...

Pros: price
Cons: far from the town no pool
2.0 Mediocre
Cons: This review is not of the hotel conditions but in the attitude of the management and staff. After having our original trip canceled we rerouted to Liberia and booked three night at this hotel in the morning on a thursday. Five hours later (that same day) our flight was cancelled. The staff and management were unwilling to refund our money, even for the second and third night citing the policy that reservations must be cancelled 72 hours in advance. I felt that given the extenuating circumstances that a partial refund would have been a reasonable compromise. The take away message is not to book in advance on the day of arrival but just risk it.

Their tour guides are very respectful and knowledgeable with regards to the nature and wildlife. I could not be more impressed. We did the estuary tour and the sea turtle tour. There is a bar at the hotel that has the best pina coladas and the best appetizer. The bar tender was also wonderful. The French bistro had very yummy quiches that made an easy affordable breakfast. I highly recommend staying here. The hammocks were great to take naps in after a long day!

3.1 Mediocre
Cons: We had a room right by pool. We were assured the pool would be closed at 10:00 pm. People kept us up until 3:00 am. A few hours later it was loud people outside the door and shortly thereafter were cleaning ladies with trash cans making their rounds. It was horrible. I didn't stay the other two nights I booked and was told they weren't responsible for returns since I purchased with a third party. When my third party tried to reach them, they didn't answer all day.

Pros: Enjoyed the room upgrade to a nice big comfortable room. Location was close and easy walk into town. Pool and view was great
9.4 Excellent
Pros: I really liked the location of the hotel, even though it wasn't directly on the beach. But it was right in front, less than a 10 minute walk!! The pool area has a beautiful view of the beach to relax and enjoy. The reception office is a bit of a walk to get to but they are all helpful. They gave me advice regarding traveling by bus. The room is nicely decorated and the shower is pretty big! The bed was a tad small but overall great room.
Cons: I didn't like that you couldn't order room service, or I did not know how. I also didn't like the size of the bed but I understand I booked by third party so bed type isn't guaranteed.
