Very friendly and helpful staff. Good value, as it is pretty cheap. The size of our room was great for 2 with a decent size bag each and the wifi and tv worked great. The garage was very accessible and felt a lot safer than parking on the street.

Very clean and felt safe. The separate living space was perfect for our large multi family group with 12 kids to have their own space yet still be all together.

Our family loved this place: the beautiful gated yard, a nice pool, and very close to the beach (1 mile) and restaurants. The host is super friendly. The homemade breakfast was delicious.

The apartment was spotlessly clean, with great amenities, lovely decor, and a lovely pool and outside area. The staff team, Maria and Jessica, were really lovely and helpful too and lent us cool packs for the beach and boogie boards for the kids. Although it was a bit more expensive than other places we stayed, it was probably our favourite accomodation in Costa Rica and we loved Playa Carillo as well!

So glad we went there! To us this was true Costa Rica. It is run by the friendliest and warmest family you will meet in CR. Also rhe bungalow is basic but has it all, next to that the many many hot spring pools are amazing (including fhd views) with a lot of wildlife around and finally fhe food and restaurant is authentic and great too. If you want a true Costa Rica experience, this is fhe one to book!

After several enquiries with the front desk we were assigned a different room on the main floor that had a modern smart TV. The bed and linen were clean and the mattress had the appropriate firmness. Everything was functioning in the room as expected. The facility was clean overall with enough beach chairs, easy access to the public beach, and being centrally located in down town Tamarindo was a plus as well.

Extremely friendly family run hostel, amazing hot showers with great water pressure (and several available to use). Always very clean, very comfortable beds, lovely common areas and great, well equipped big kitchen. Highly recommend! Also very well located a short walk to bus station and centre of town.

Werner and Carlos made us feel at home! Everything in the hotel was so thoughtfully placed. Right from the facilities in the room to the food! Vegetarian meals were delicious! The view and cleanliness were undoubtedly amazing. Thanks for making the 2 days relaxing and fun.
