We booked this after looking at reviews which are very accurate. Its a small hotel with a very nice pool, because of the size, we got to know other guests which was fun. It is a short walk into the center of town which was great. Lots of amazing restaurants. The property is well maintained. No bar or restaurant which was fine for us. The room had an apt size fridge and microwave, as well as 2 burner cooktop. This was very convenient for heating up leftovers, if you stop at a supermarket prior to coming into town center (there are several), it would be easy to get things to have for lunch, etc. Breakfast was exactly as others have described- nice fresh fruit, coffee, cereal, bread (theres a toaster) and yogurt. Plenty for a light breakfast.
Tamarindo is a fun beach town, the beach is not a white sand beach as there is a lot of runoff, so the water in the rainy season is somewhat brownish, but still pretty sunsets and nice for walking. There are plenty of loungers to sit either at pool or near beach. The price was reasonable and worth it if you want a low key, more boutique like hotel.
