Tamarindo is a prime spot for surfing and sportfishing, diving and sunning. Nesting leatherback turtles do their thing along the beaches from October to May and, for some nesting of your own, gorgeous beach houses, B&Bs and luxury hotels line the sunny sands. Shopping and dining options are superb and plentiful, perfect for sampling the true flavors of Costa Rica.

Lovely classic hotel, used Marriott points and was upgraded to an oceanfront room. The pool is MASSIVE but the water was heated (I prefer cooler water in hot/humid places). Hotel is pretty remote, but it’s good for a R&R type of trip. We took the shuttle to Tamarindo a few times - cute surf town about 30 minutes away with a nice beach and cute shops (shuttle provided by a 3rd party company, $20 per person roundtrip).

This is our 3rd visit, 2nd to stay on the grounds. This place is amazing! The Spa is incomparable. The ladies make your experience so amazing. The rooms are clean and cool, with views of the pool. The service (Monica and Enrique and Ari) are the best! The new chef was great, his cooking class was so fun and memorable! The experience will make you want to come back. WE LOVE THIS PLACE…5 Star luxury with a laidback feel.

This hotel was so disappointing that it became a running inside joke between my friends. For context, my friends and I are young and have very low standards for hotels, but this one did not meet them. Let me make a list of the laughable, negative aspects of this hotel. - We were promised beach chairs and umbrellas as per other reviews and their website and upon arrival were told that the management ordered beach chairs that were currently "lost in shipping". This is so unacceptable as we then had to pay $40 a day for external beach chairs. - The whole hotel was severely lacking in beach/pool towel quantity. The front desk would never have clean towels. When we asked, they made us hike up a large hill to the pool to get towels there, only for the pool to tell us only the front desk had them - The breakfast was absolutely inedible. The worst eggs I have ever had. Also, we had to make "reservations" for breakfast a day in advance because there was limited seating. On one of the days, we got breakfast delivered in our room and asked that it come at 8 am. At 8:30, the breakfast still didn't come. We called the front desk and they said they knocked on the door and no one answered. Very confusing because we had been by the door the whole time waiting. - The room looked nice overall but the door to the patio wouldn't close fully, leading to a steady stream of ANTS for our entire stay. - The wifi worked in the common areas but not in our room, which was annoying when I had to take a virtual covid test to travel. - The location is walking distance to town, but the block between town and the hotel is unlit and does not have sidewalks. Giving it 2 stars instead of 1 because the price was very affordable for Tamarindo. Usually, I would say that you get what you pay for. However, this hotel gave us even less.
