Wyndham Tamarindo

8/10 Good
"We really enjoyed our stay at the Wyndham Tamarindo! The breakfast was awesome with a great variety of options, and the shuttle service was a very convenient perk for getting around. That said, there were a couple of things that could be improved. The pool bar wasn’t open during our stay, which was disappointing, and some of the shuttle times weren’t followed consistently by the staff, which made getting around a little frustrating at times. Overall, we had a nice stay and enjoyed the property, but having the pool bar open and more consistency with the shuttle schedule would have made the experience even better."
