10,0 Excellent
Pros: The food was excellent, fresh, and perfectly prepared with a great variety from day to day. Always served quickly and by a wonderful staff. Truly, exceptional all the way around. The décor, grounds, the elegance of the entire property were above and beyond my highest expectations. When a raccoon moved onto the roof of our suite on night two, Tatiana graciously upgraded us to a more decadent room with a Jacuzzi tub, gorgeous and absolutely exceptional. It's right in town and easy access to the shops, the beach and restaurants. We opted for the plan that includes breakfast and dinner, which I highly recommend. A great value, but also super convenient and absolutely delicious every time.
Cons: I can't think of a single thing! It rained a few time, but hardly the hotels doing! they had umbrellas and slip signs to assist.

Pros: Everything! It was so amazing. The food was amazing, the staff was so polite, the place is so gorgeous and clean and quiet. Definitely one of the best places I ever been to. Geeez, and amazing views of gorgeous Costa Rica.

It is about a 15 minute walk down the beach to get to an area that you can swim in.

Pros: Arco Iris had a great feel to it. The pool is very nice. Richard is a super cool guy and is extremely friendly. We had to leave at 4:00 am to catch our flight and Richard gave us some fruit, muffins, and juice. He offered that up without us even asking. We were very happy with the location. You are just far enough from the noise of the main street, but still able to walk to everything. The beach is maybe a 5 minute walk. There is a walking path from the hotel to a road with tons of great restaurants. If you feel like staying in for a nice meal, they lease their dining space to one of the best restaurants in Tamarindo, Seasons by Shlomy. We traveled to 4 different cities in Costa Rica and this hotel was our favorite by far.
Cons: The air conditioner in our room was kind of weak. It worked a little better at night. We weren't around much during the day so it didn't bother us much.

First the pillows had hair on them, the towels in the bathroom were like stain with paint or something and worse part is the bathroom smelled like week old sweaty clothes( not exaggerating). There was a shirt hanging on curtains from previous guest. There was a fridge but it didn't work! I left the place, there was no way I could sleep there let alone shower and use those towels. The pics are deceiving and I don't know who reviewed this place but my experience was. Awful!

Pros: Beautiful property! The pool and garden are absolutely incredible, the location was amazing, super close to everything in Tamarindo. Breakfast was also fantastic! She even made us to go breakfast on days we had to leave early! Air conditioning was powerful on those hot days!
Cons: The shower pressure was close to nothing but the water was hot. We lost power on several occasions but that wasn’t the hotels fault it was just annoying because they can’t cook when that happens. The cleaning services basically was just him making your bed and mopping the floor. I would’ve like clean towels daily and maybe a sheet change.

Pros: It is like a small Italian villa with a lovely courtyard pool. The family managers were great to deal with and the breakfasts were very nice. The location in town is ideal.

Pros: From the moment we arrived Walter met us with a smile and helped us with our bags. We stayed at the Hotel Flores for a week, our first trip to Taramindo. We stayed in the small apartment on site. The room was very clean and the bed was very comfortable. We had a very nice outside sitting area over looking the pool. It was extremely private and quiet!! The breakfast was delicious with lots of great choices. Paulo, the owner, and Walter both get five stars!! Every morning when we were at breakfast Walter slipped into the room and it was all made up by the time we returned!! The location was excellent close to the beach, a tiki bar across the street and a wonderful Italian restaurant next door!! What more could you want?

Pros: A basic B&B with nice location in Tamarindo. The room was equipped with an effective AC and a fridge. High speed internet available and good car parking. Nice breakfast in the morning and it was always a pleasure to be served by the friendly personnel.
Cons: The cleaning was not OK, especially not in the bathroom. internet was fast but WIFI was poor (swaying). You have to expect that you are in Costa Rica with a lot of wildlife such as birds singing, raccoons fighting and noisy monkeys, all this during night and morning hours.
7,5 Good
Pros: The small pool and gardens were pleasant. The owner takes pride in her hotel and keeps it in good condition. We felt private and safe there.
Cons: We were given free bottles of water without explanation there could be a temporary issue drinking the tap water in Tamarindo due to public sewer work. The hotel is charming and clean but the street is gravel and dusty during windy season.

Pros: Hotel Luna Llena was amazing we were traveling with a 8 month old so we really enjoyed the quiet setting, just a block away from the beach and the main part of Tamarindo, we had a car rented but didnt have to drive unless we left town. Clean rooms and friendly staff we stayed in bungalow 6, it had a loft with two twin beds and the main floor had a king bed with a kitchen and bathroom. Cable TV, we don't speak spanish but was good to have cartoons for the little one. All the rooms are centered around the pool offering food and drinks from noon-3 and 6-9PM. The landscaping was very nice, providing privacy, quiet and just a calm vibe, very relaxing, we enjoyed spending time there.
Cons: Wifi signal was weak in the room, good around the pool. Beds were a little too hard for our liking.

Cons: Ongoing work, noisy traffic- essentially a mass Public resort, limited privacy
7,7 Good
Pros: The location was great, the facilities were mostly cleaned (except for the one item I'll address in the next section), the staff was fairly helpful and we always felt secure.
Cons: About half of the breakfast items were uncovered so flies were constantly around or on the fruits and pastries. They clearly put a lot of effort into the morning preparation so I don't understand why they would leave so much of it uncovered.
The hotel restaurant was pretty bad. The free breakfasts were good (except for the flies) but the lunches and dinners were very poor. The menu looks great but the actual food itself seemed very low quality. Luckily the hotel is surrounded by good restaurants so the poor hotel restaurant was not a huge issue for us.

Pros: Location top, for breakfast best and really great option is burrito, nice garden, good food at bar, hair dryer, big and warm shower, nicely decorated room, nice sitting area in front of the room, kind staff

8,0 Excellent
Pros: Excellent location! Staff very friendly and helpful, especially Randy. Howler monkeys living in the trees above the hotel - no need for an alarm clock :) Pool area very quaint and relaxing. Bar/restaurant on site. Visited several other hotels to visit friends and was very happy with the ambiance and amenities at Hotel Pasatiempo in comparison. Would definitely stay again!
Cons: The door to my unit did not lock smoothly - had trouble with it every time I left or came back to the property. There was something wrong with the flushing mechanism on the toilet when I arrived. Reported it to staff and they were working on having it fixed although this did not happen over the course of my 6 night stay.
8,0 Excellent
Pros: The outside pool area was exactly as pictured, very beautiful. The pool chairs were comfortable, and the pool was very refreshing. The beds were amazing, very very comfortable!
Cons: Rooms were a bit on the small side, although my room did have a double and a twin in it. It would have also been nice to have a separate toilet to the shower or sink area so that someone can be showering and someone else can be using the sink space or using the toilet.

Pros: Rooms were great, off the main road, but only about a hundred yards from the beach......

Pros: Really charming place and really helpful staff. Great value. WOuld go back for sure.

10,0 Excellent
Pros: Ninia is awesome and the staff is so friendly and helpful. Breakfast is awesome at Eat at Joes!
Cons: The walk to town is tough on the street.
8,3 Excellent
Pros: Breakfast was generous. The staff is wonderfully helpful, patient and efficient. Recent rehabbing was done well. Howler monkeys serenading us at dinner - once in a lifetime. Beautifully prepared fresh fish, vegetables and fruit were exceptional and found conveniently at many local restaurants. Taking ECO tours or just walking the beach, Pueblo Dorado was a great home base.
Cons: An ice machine would be a great amenity. Intermittent power outages were annoying and uncomfortable with temperatures in the mid 90's. Not the hotel's fault. But, being in fossil fuel conscious Costa Rica, I would have thought they'd have converted to solar and gotten off the grid.
5,0 Okay
Pros: I like the front desk people Trinidad and the young guy (don't remember his name) that works evening they were amazing
Cons: The cleaning aspect...the woman in charge of the cleaning they don't even clean the bathroom with clorox or any other product they just pass an old towel ob the floor and go to others room with the same cloth without wash it nothing...the results from the time they show you the room when they open the door you can smell bathroom odor pretty bad...i don't care the fact that the place is old and dated but at least keep it clean it!

7,5 Good
Pros: Breakfast was great. Rooms were clean, location excellent.

Pros: Arco Iris had a great feel to it. The pool is very nice. Richard is a super cool guy and is extremely friendly. We had to leave at 4:00 am to catch our flight and Richard gave us some fruit, muffins, and juice. He offered that up without us even asking. We were very happy with the location. You are just far enough from the noise of the main street, but still able to walk to everything. The beach is maybe a 5 minute walk. There is a walking path from the hotel to a road with tons of great restaurants. If you feel like staying in for a nice meal, they lease their dining space to one of the best restaurants in Tamarindo, Seasons by Shlomy. We traveled to 4 different cities in Costa Rica and this hotel was our favorite by far.
Cons: The air conditioner in our room was kind of weak. It worked a little better at night. We weren't around much during the day so it didn't bother us much.

Pros: My wife and i went to Costa Rica on our honeymoon, and we spent our final five days at the Tamarindo Bay Boutique Hotel. We absolutely loved it, hated to leave and can’t wait to come back again. Everything from the location, to the ambiance and decor, and especially the staff, was top notch. We can’t imagine staying anywhere else in Tamarindo.

10,0 Excellent
Pros: Kevin and the staff were fantastic. From start to end they were so welcoming, helpful, and friendly. The breakfast every morning really started the day out correctly. So good! The rooms are amazing and the whole chill, chic, vibe of the place made for a great complement to the Tamarindo experience. A little oasis from the beach and the town.
Cons: Seeming complaint at first is really a strength; little tricky to get to but the map they provide is immensely helpful. Nice that it's a street or two away from the main strip.
10,0 Excellent
Pros: The best accommodation in our trip to Costa Rica. The place is super-cozy. The staff (a special thank to Marie) was attentive and always welcoming with great tips and recommendations for restaurants, tours and other places in Costa Ricato visit. The breakfast was super delicious, especially their homemade cookies. You get everything you need :-) We enjoyed the breakfasts on the terrace soooo much! If you pay attention to the trees you will definitely see an iguana and a squirrel. And yes, there are howler monkeys in the trees sometimes:-) Bonus points for the calm and totally lovely dogs! Go Turbo!!! The perfect retreat - so perfect that we spontaneously decided to stay a few days longer. Highly recommended :-)
Cons: Not one thing not to like!

7,0 Good
Pros: The service was amazing and the staff couldn’t have been more friendly.
Cons: The bed, pillows, and sheets were horrible. It was hard to sleep some nights. The bed was very hard, the pillows were way too big and the only bedding were 2 very thin sheets (no comforter/quilt). Also, the beach at the hotel is very rocky and you can’t swim there. It is about a 15 minute walk down the beach to get to an area that you can swim in.

Cons: With this location outside of the hustle and bustle of Tamarindo you might consider renting a golf cart since the walk to town is about 15 minutes
10,0 Excellent
Pros: Superb accomodation, very spacious and very well equipped. Loved the huge balcony area. The location is perfect, very quiet area but only 2 minutes from the beach and 15 minute walk along the beach to the centre of the resort.

7,9 Good
Pros: The best part of the hotel was the location. It was a short walk down a path that lead right to the beach and the beach wasn't crowded at all but then it was in the middle of the week. The hotel was a nice, quiet and small boutique hotel. It had a small pool and a small bbq area but no other amenities. If you are looking to stay at the beach in a quiet secure spot this is your place.
Cons: Lots of ants in kitchen area. We felt rushed to check out of our room by the cleaning person standing in the patio with bucket and cleaning products in hand. Because of this we forgot a very expensive unopened bottle of tequila in the freezer!!
8,8 Excellent
Pros: Everything was clean. Kitchen was very nice. Though I was there for 12hrs. Staff was very nice and helpful seeing how we arrived after 9 pm. Private locked gate was nice.
