They should improve their standard. The services were not up to the mark. Sink was clogged, TV wasn’t working, wifi inside the room was on and off, bed was making so much noise upon flipping sides. They should have done better for the sake of price customers pay.

We strongly recommend this property for families looking to visit Tamarindo. The room was impeccably clean with a very powerful air conditioning unit. Water pressure on both the shower and toliet were a bit lacking but still usable. We stayed on a Thursday night and had no noise problems (though it may be a problem on Friday night when their weekly parties are). We felt very safe as the front gate is closed (but it of course can be opened if you arrive late) and monitored by a security guard during the night. Breakfast was made to order (4 pre-set options) and substantial. The hotel is a short walk away from the center of town (no continuous sidewalks but did not feel particularly unsafe as long as we were careful) and across the street from the beach.

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
