The staff member were very pleasant!! Breakfast pretty good, all fresh and the natural juice excellent. The room was clean. Only two details; the fan was very noisy. The tv was placed at 90 degrees from the bed, so we couldn’t use it.

Great place, great value, great location, great breakfast. The pool was a bit small, but the ocean and beach are only minutes away. TV was poor, if that's important to you. Stayed for 6 nights.

I recently stayed at this hotel and had a fantastic experience! From the moment I arrived, the staff were friendly and welcoming, making me feel right at home. The accommodation was clean, comfortable, and cozy, which made my stay even more enjoyable. One of the highlights was the breakfast. There were plenty of options to choose from, and I opted for the traditional Costa Rican Gallo Pinto with local tortilla. It was delicious—full of flavor and the perfect way to start my day after running the Tamarindo Marathon. The convenience of having parking spaces right in front of the hotel was a big plus, especially with the added security of a guard on the property. It made me feel safe and at ease throughout my stay. I highly recommend this hotel and would love to return!

It was beautiful and relaxing, the traditional breakfast was very good, however, the room did not have a safe, and did not have a luggage rack, meaning we had to use the only chair for our luggage.

Great Quaint Stay

Checking in early is a bit tricky, but that's normal. The staff was super attentive. the breakfast in the morning was amazing and Daniela at the front desk was helpful. Everything was perfect. Prob the only weird/annoying this was that it seemed like there was always something going on during the morning - construction, or landscaping, something!

We had a great stay here, we had a few teething issues which were quickly resolved by the owner when he was at the property the next day. We borrowed a surf board, which was a great option to have. The property is about 10-15 min walk to the beach, close enough to the main area but also far enough away to ensure it is quiet in the evening. They accommodated early check in and an early breakfast for us on check out day. We enjoyed breakfast each morning.

Fantastic welcoming oasis!

Perfectly located just a few blocks from the hustle and bustle of downtown Tamarindo! Brad and Evelyn are welcoming, kind and very helpful! We had an interesting mishap on arrival and Brad and a crew of his amigos helped us out. Julia, one of the staff was also excellent and made delicious breakfasts!! (Highly recommend the coconut banana pancakes). This is the kind of place I would love to book the whole B&B with our extended family in the future!

Our stay was comfortable. The room was nice. The morning breakfast was fine. However I was charged 60.00 on the internet , the Inn manager gave me a receipt for 60.00. The OWNER I guess came and told me " I'm sorry but the price Is 75.00. I had to finish my breakfast and head out to the airport. I would stay there again. It was pretty empty but it was a really nice little Inn. Also, they only take cash..which I didn't know.
