Hotel is not well-maintained. During a 3 day stay, my TV and A/C broke (both fixed). The plumbing is old and cannot handle TP, so you throw soiled TP in a trash can. Drapes are too small for windows so you are up at dawn plus the curtain rod falls off if you try to adjust. Shower water was cool. Many broken floor tiles in my room. Tamarindo is full of drug dealers too. Two stars is generous.

I really enjoyed my stay here. It was all I needed. It’s a basic room but that did the job for me as a solo female traveler. It’s a few steps away from the beach. Clean and just a good vibe. Beyond all the front desk lady helped me immensely with EVERYTHING from changing my room to riding her motorcycle for 15 min to direct me to a path that was not under construction to help with translation and grocery shopping. She was just the best. Just keep in mind, some of the rooms that are closer to street might be noisy at night. If you are a light sleeper like me ask for a more quiet room

Stayed here as a solo female traveller. The hotel is clean and neat. The a/c in the room was really nice. The location is super convenient. Right in the middle of town so I could walk pretty much anywhere I wanted to go. The beach is right across the street. The only thing I would say is that it can get extremely noisy at night since you’re right in the middle of the town and the popular nightlife spots. Especially on the weekends. Felt safe overall though

I’m very low key but like clean! The hotel is not huge but in my opinion it was just right. My first room had a leaking air conditioner unit behind the wall so they moved me rooms! Luckily it was the next room. The staff is amazing!! They were very helpful and bilingual which helps. The rooms were clean, the bathroom was fine and the shower was spacious. The rooms don’t have closets but they have shelves. My first room didn’t have any where to hang clothes and the second one did. Towels are clean and I was able to book tours through them. They can help with transportation from airport to hotel and back. It’s about an hour and a half drive from Liberia airport so expect to pay a good chunk. The “ Mercadito “ is literally around the corner and there are other eatery places near. You can shop, eat, drink, and walk to the beach!! I traveled by myself and I felt safe. I honestly don’t even want to share this hidden gem!! I’d keep it to myself. Camila was a gem!!! Thank you and hope to come back!♥️
