I booked and paid for a room with a balcony and they gave us a regular room. They said on their end it was showing up as a regular room but when I showed them the reservation on my end, suddenly, it was popping up as a balcony room. They said it was expedias fault for booking it that way when they had other people booked in those rooms and they could not kick them out for us. They kept blaming Expedia and said this is what happens to them a lot and using a third party booking agent is not reliable. They said they would report it to Expedia but did nothing to make it right for us. The room had hair all over the shower and the back of the toilet. The pool and bar area were nice though

The room wasn’t very clean, there was some garbage still I’m guessing when they cleaned didn’t sweep good or mopped. The sink had a drain strain and was dirty and it grossed me out because the water wouldn’t fully go down quickly. I didn’t even have a view through the window, it was high and covered with a lining so you couldn’t look outside. outside my room was an ugly area with a pile of dirt and black drapes, like they maybe remodeling or adding to the hotel. Overall the hotel is in a good area and accessible to downtown and beach is like a 3 minute walk. But just an outdated hotel

The room was perfect, and even though it was right off a busy road was quiet. Nice pool with swim up bar. The included breakfast was excellent. Gym was well equipped. My only neg comment in the party on Friday that went from 8:00p to 2:30A was incredibly loud, the hotel should definitely make a point to ensure guests are aware of this.

Stayed for our first night in tamarindo. Check in wasn’t until 3pm, staff wouldn’t let us check in 20 minutes early. Property feels old and out dated and could definitely be cleaner.

Wasn't Happy
Well first of all the location of the Hotel was to far from the town, after you check in you have to walk a long way up a driveway to the rooms, the restaurant is only open for breakfast and last the bed was like sleeping on a board.

Considering that I had an accident while staying here and broke 3 ribs, the staff has been so kind, attentive, and helpful. Our room was super clean. Cleaning lady is awesome. But the upkeep of the hotel as a whole seems neglected.
