7.2 / 10Good·Mar 2026
Overall, a decent stay with a few trade-offs. The staff were genuinely helpful—accommodating a late check-out, bringing a hair dryer to the room, and even letting me back in when I was locked out. That level of service was definitely appreciated.
The room had everything needed for a short stay—simple, clean, with great AC and a comfortable bed. It felt secure, and the location is a big plus—right in the middle of everything with easy Uber access and security present around the plaza.
That said, communication could be improved. I was told I’d receive a message with property details and check-out instructions, but never did. I also heard there was a restaurant offering discounts with the bracelet given at check-in, but wasn't clear where it was located.
The biggest downside is noise. My room (Playa Grande) was right by the front gate, and Tamarindo being a late-night party town, there was constant foot traffic and noise until 3–4am. One night, a loud argument between guests also disrupted sleep. If you’re a light sleeper, this could be an issue—though if you’re already asleep, it may not bother you as much.
Great for location and convenience, but not ideal if you’re looking for a quiet stay.

Room is standard but very clean. Responsive. Very close to the beach and shop, very city centre but also comes with some cons like a bit of noise from the road and music from the establishments around. All in all, for the price, I’d say its steal. Will be coming back!

Would not recommend, couldnt sleep at night because of outside noise which was amplified because of missing window pane
