It was convenient to get to the beach (1 block away) and the front desk staff were friendly and helpful, they were able to book us a shuttle to the Liberia airport, etc. The room itself was small and unpleasant and I was grateful my sister had booked a nearby place that was shady and pleasant for lounging.

The hotel is terribly noisy. We had a room with No a/c, the ceiling fan was not strong enough to make a difference, the room was very hot. Hard and noisy bed. We were suppose to stay 3 nights, we stayed 1 and moved to an other place. Greg, one of the staff member was great and understanding, he reimbursed us what he could. ##### Nancy Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Robert Nov 15, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Let me start by saying that the gentlemen that were there for reception and maintenance were outstanding, professional, helpful and expedient in fixing things that are wrong. This is not a 5 star hotel but it is clean and in an excellent location. We had some trouble with our first room because the ceiling had leaks. The next morning we talked to Brian at reception and he immediately found us another room. You have to realize though that the rainfall at that time was the most they had had in decades. They were up on the roof that afternoon repairing it. The new room we had was perfect. Any time we had a question Brian or Guillermo were right on top of it answering it or helping us. I would highly recommend this hotel. We had A/C, private shower and toilet and the hotel is within a 10 minute walk to numerous restaurants. So you know though there is only cold water showers. Not bad after a hot day though! ##### Robert Stayed 10 nights in Nov 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Denis Oct 13, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service The facility is a little weathered, but the staff is outstanding. ##### Denis Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rodney May 2, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities As always, I had a great time there. ##### Rodney Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Jason Jan 25, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Nice Stay Front desk was very helpful, letting us know the best spots to go for our needs ##### Jason Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### DECLAN Feb 12, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities The events at the bar area were great, live music and maple on another night! ##### DECLAN Stayed 6 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Emmanuel Apr 15, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Grate location ##### Emmanuel Stayed 5 nights in Dec 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Marc S. Dec 19, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities It's near the beach, but not on it and a short walk to downtown. With a little work it could be a nice place. Something that seems low rent is when there is no cover on the light fixture, only a bare light bulb on the ceiling. No hot water or A/C, but the room was well designed for flow through ventilation and the fan was adequate for cooling. The toilet leaked around the base which was a bit nasty when you think about it. Small rooms which is fine for one person, but would be crowded for two. All that said, I would have stayed a second night, but got a really good deal at another, much nicer hotel. ##### Marc S.

The rooms have an open cinder block along the ceiling that easily lets in bugs and noise. Also, the hotel is next to a night club that blast music through the once quiet neighborhood until 2am. People tend to meet at the hotel courtyard after the club closes. ##### John Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Cynthia Apr 14, 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities No AC, Fans old AND dirty, drinks at bar pricey ##### Cynthia Stayed 1 night in Apr 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Cory Jan 22, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities Bathroom was tiny. Very tiny. No hot water which is to be expected here. Hotel was very loud with other guests and security was lacking. Good for a quick bed on your travels. ##### Cory Stayed 1 night in Jan 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Gabrielle Jan 21, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities The staff was friendly & this may be an okay place for singles or travelers who are ok with hostels but for a single mother and her young child I was very disappointed with this place. Live music at night made it hard to rest & overall cleanliness especially bathrooms was bad. I didn’t even end up staying but rather gave the key back and had to find a diff hotel to stay at. When returning the key and telling them I wasn’t going to stay they didn’t bother asking why or offering a refund. ##### Gabrielle Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Buena Vista del Rincon Eco Adventure Park, Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Canas-Dulces-Hotels-Buena-Vista-Del-Rincon-Eco-Adventure-Park.h1858721.Hotel-Information) > > [JW Marriott Guanacaste Resort and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-JW-Marriott-Guanacaste-Resort-And-Spa.h2190860.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Garden Inn Guanacaste Airport ](https://www.expedia.ca/Liberia-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-Liberia-Airport.h2211738.Hotel-Information) > > [Socialtel Nosara](https://www.expedia.ca/Nosara-Hotels-Selina-Nosara.h32620956.Hotel-Information) > > [Bodhi Tree Yoga Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Nosara-Hotels-Bodhi-Tree-Yoga-Resort.h10650362.Hotel-Information) > > [Nammbú Beachfront Bungalows](https://www.expedia.ca/Puerto-Carrillo-Hotels-Nammbu-Beachfront-Bungalows.h11459871.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Tamarindo Diria Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-Hotel-Tamarindo-Diria-Beach-Resort.h1108151.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Hacienda Guachipelin](https://www.expedia.ca/Curubande-Hotels-Hotel-Hacienda-Guachipelin.h1122531.Hotel-Information) > > [MARAVIDA Boutique Hotel & Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-Best-Western-Tamarindo-Vista-Villas.h901274.Hotel-Information) > > [Ten North Tamarindo Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-Ten-North-Tamarindo-Beach-Hotel.h16263826.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Jaco Beach All-Inclusive Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Jaco-Hotels-Best-Western-Jaco-Beach-All-Inclusive-Resort.h54703.Hotel-Information) > > [Tamarindo Bay Hotel & Apartments- Self Check In, Adults Only](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-Tamarindo-Bay-Boutique-Hotel-Adults-Only.h12358310.Hotel-Information) > > [Borinquen Thermal Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Canas-Dulces-Hotels-Borinquen-Thermal-Resort.h1155801.Hotel-Information) > > [Beautiful Condo at Langosta Beach Club!](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-Your-Luxury-Condo-At-Langosta-Beach-Club.h40741855.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Magic Mountain SPA & Conference center](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Hotel-Magic-Mountain-SPA-Conference-Center.h1636277.Hotel-Information) > > [Hacienda Pinilla Vacation Rentals](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-Hacienda-Pinilla-Vacation-Rentals.h5297444.Hotel-Information) > > [Arenal Observatory Lodge & Trails](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Arenal-Observatory-Lodge-Spa.h11820519.Hotel-Information) > > [Nosara Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Nosara-Hotels-Nosara-Beach-Hotel.h32722062.Hotel-Information) > > [Dreamsea Surf Camp](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-Dreamsea-Surf-Camp.h9331090.Hotel-Information) > > [The Gilded Iguana Surf Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Nosara-Hotels-The-Gilded-Iguana-Surf-Hotel.h22186079.Hotel-Information) > > [Jardín del Edén Boutique Hotel - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-Jardin-Del-Eden-Boutique-Hotel-Adults-Only.h2818928.Hotel-Information) > > [The Coast Beachfront Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-The-Coast-Beachfront-Hotel.h18530265.Hotel-Information) > > [Refugio Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-Surf-House.h84012769.Hotel-Information) > > [Rio Perdido Hotel & Thermal River](https://www.expedia.ca/Fortuna-Hotels-Rio-Perdido-Hotel-Thermal-River.h6371123.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Boutique Lagarta Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Nosara-Hotels-Hotel-Boutique-Lagarta-Lodge.h12324224.Hotel-Information) > > [Wyndham Tamarindo](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-Wyndham-Tamarindo.h10356916.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Boyeros](https://www.expedia.ca/Liberia-Hotels-Hotel-Boyeros.h11268329.Hotel-Information) > > [La Mansion Inn Arenal](https://www.expedia.ca/Arenal-Hotels-La-Mansion-Inn-Arenal.h8254135.Hotel-Information)
