    I did infact have a wonderful time

    All-inclusive, but restrictions at every turn. Location is absolutely beautiful. Service is acceptable. However, the bartenders are incredible. Amiable, professional and funny. Edwin and Jose are incredible people. The buffet is sub-par. I am truly glad this location is close to town. The food there is amazing.

    Such a let down

    We met the most amazing person in the restaurant-Alexander Tenovio Alvarez- he was the best part of our stay! He made our special needs son feel so welcomed. The last morning there he brought him his breakfast- my son felt so special. We got pictures with him. Otherwises the service was terrible, everything we asked for was a big fat "no" and then you see other people be allowed to do what we asked for and couldn't. Food was always cold. Would not recommend.

    Stay away

    Lacks quality for the value. I wouldn’t come back or recommend this hotel to anyone. I hate writing bad reviews but this one was unavoidable. I want people to understand what they’re walking into. It’s a far walk into town, the food quality was poor, the rooms were outdated, our showers never got hot, we had to move rooms without being warned that it was an issue when we checked in. For what we paid it was sadly such a poor experience.

    My home away from home. Scotty amigo por siempre

    location is great. beautiful grounds.national park borders on it.great beach when you cross estuary at appropriate tide time. twenty minute walk to town by road,forty five minute walk to town on beach that is a little rugged. eight dollar cab ride one way.tamarindo has everything from low end to high end. lots of bars ,restaurants and retail shopping. the current manager Brian showed a deep interest in customer experience and making the hotel all it can be. He personally rewarded me for returning for my ninth year. The resort meets all my needs but bear in mind it is a four star facility. If you are looking forincluded top shelf drinks,several al a carte restaurants luxurious rooms then you need to go to a five star and pay the price, the staff are six star and go the extra distance to make your stay great. just a few of the fantastic employees Alexander brekfast and lunch chef bartenders Edwin,Gustavo,Johan and Zu hazy Staff Tatiana,Etty,Ediina,Ruby and so many more.
