Please read the reviews and trust that the noise reviews are legitimate. There is a night club 25 meters from the back of these rooms. I did read the reviews and the staff warned us but it was so much worse than I imagined. There was music blaring and bumping till 3 am so much that the walls were shaking. If you are a light sleeper do not book this spot. We ended up leaving after one night.

Great!
Very cool place in a great location if you’re looking to be in the night life, close to the beach, and by all of the restaurants. As all of the other reviews, and the hotel said in advance, it is loud at night. The food is good, service was excellent, and it is exactly as advertised.

This hotel is in the heart of the city which means music blares into the morning hours. There is not concierge.

Nice spot in Tamarindo
Room was clean, staff was friendly and the free breakfast was great. Very loud at night however. Not that it matters because you’re so close to the beach, but the pool isn’t clean.
