The resort is well-maintained and clean, with beautiful walking paths and direct beach access, which I truly enjoyed. However, I found it quite loud at times due to the poolside entertainment and limited food options, leaving me wanting more from the dining experience. Overall, the staff were very friendly, and the coffee was excellent, but the noise level was a downside.

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.
