It was the perfect location for our family. It was across the street from the perfect beach spot for surfing! Easy access to renting boards and so convenient to restaurants. Staff was very helpful!

Basic hotel across from the beach

I don’t usually write reviews, but I felt compelled to share my experience because there are so many unfairly negative ones out there.
I paid roughly $40 a night, and for that price, this place exceeded my expectations. The rooms were clean and sanitary, and the location is hard to beat—literally right across the street from the beach.
Breakfast was included and was a traditional Costa Rican gallo pinto with a cup of excellent coffee, which was a great way to start the day. Nothing fancy, just authentic and satisfying.
This is not a luxury resort, but it’s also not trying to be. If you’re looking for an inexpensive, straightforward place near the beach, this is a solid option. Based on my stay, it absolutely deserves 5 stars for value.

Stayed here for 3 nights in late April. Make sure to contact the property by email before arriving to get the check in details as there is no reception onsite and booking sites will sometimes not let messages go through! The owner will respond usually pretty fast by email.
Great location and affordable for Tamarindo where you can cross the street and be in the ocean in under a few minutes! Cleaning lady was really nice and puts out coffee, tea, and some fruit in the morning. Small walk to downtown so you don't have the crazy noise of people from there, but you will be near the Crazy Monkey club if that's your vibe on a Friday night.
We got unlucky with a high water pressure noise issue coming from the property behind us when in the back rooms of 3 and 6, making crazy sounds all day and night - luckily it subsided after the 1st night/day. Also, if in those rooms, the wifi will not reach you - would recommend a mesh network or reposition the router.
