Engaging Entertainment Team

The entertainment team really kept me engaged during my stay. From poolside games to beach activities, they ensured that everyone was entertained and had a great time. I particularly enjoyed the aqua aerobics led by Jason, who was fantastic in making sure everyone participated.

Great Snack Bar by the Pool

I loved the snack bar by the pool! It offered a nice variety of options throughout the day, including delicious burgers and refreshing drinks. It was the perfect spot to enjoy a bite without leaving the water, allowing me to soak up the sun effortlessly.

Clean and Spacious Rooms

The room I stayed in was clean, spacious, and offered a comfortable atmosphere. I particularly appreciated the large rain shower, which was a refreshing experience after a long day at the beach. It definitely added to my overall comfort during my stay.

Really good Water Pressure

The water pressure in the bathroom was excellent! The showers had a strong flow, making for an enjoyable and invigorating shower experience. It's a detail that often goes unnoticed, but it definitely enhanced my stay.

The hotel is in a lively location close to the beach, but my experience was marred by issues like musty-smelling rooms and poor dining options. While the beach access was convenient, the overall value didn’t live up to my expectations, and the service left much to be desired. Unfortunately, I won't be returning anytime soon.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location is fantastic, right on the beach and close to Tamarindo's bustling restaurants. However, the food quality was disappointing, and the service felt a bit lacking. The rooms were spacious and clean, which was a plus, but I struggled with limited Wi-Fi and a less-than-ideal dining experience. Overall, there's potential here, but I believe there are better options nearby.

Dining was a letdown overall. The food variety was limited and often not great. I ended up looking for meals offsite to find something better.
