"Tamarindo is in the middle of a building boom and it was all around the hotel. They worked extra hard to make our stay comfortable and quiet. Lovely place with a fun and very helpful staff. Easy access to the beach and walkable for most of Tamarindo."

Cute beach town that is worth a short visit for the beach bars, surfing and amazing sunsets! It is quite touristy and Americanized, with inflated prices to match. If you're looking to experience local Costa Rican culture better to go elsewhere.

Tamarindo was great but not the best authentic Costa Rican experience. The beach was beautiful and wonderful for surfing but the area was very expensive and mostly tourists. We knew what we were getting into though.

Tamarindo is a lively town with lots of shopping and a great beach, but it is becoming over-built, and the trafic is grid-locked at times.

While Tamarindo beach was very crowded, Playa Avellanas was a short drive away and was beautiful and practically empty.

Tides were a neat thing to see. Lots of surfing, although beach was generally suitable to swimmers of all abilities using common sense. Tons of excellent restaurants nearby as well as bars with happy hour specials. Wish more Sodas had survived.

It's a party/holiday town so there's always plenty going on and the beaches are beautiful. Tamarindo is expensive, this applies to the hotels too so you don't get much bang for your colon here.

Tamarindo is a tourist area and is therefore considerably more expensive than the other areas we visited in CR. However the beach is wonderful!

Excellent value. Tamarido beach is great for learning to surf. Pricing at most restaurants are for tourists.
"Wir haben ein paar Tage im Arco Iris verbracht und haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und das frisch zubereitete Frühstück hat uns sehr geschmeckt. Besonders geschätzt haben wir die Tipps zu Ausflügen und Restaurants, die uns Fredy gegeben hat. Wir kommen sicher gerne wieder, denn das Hotel ist ruhig und trotzdem sehr zentral gelegen. "
"Is a very nice resort, the buffet food had a good variety. They had fruit out at every meal. The staff was very helpful. We went to italian restaurant for one dinner, the food was excellent. The service was excellent there too. The check in and out was quick. Remember to drink water, it is very warm outside, especially when you are in sun. The beach was beautiful but it has a lot of large rocks. I am not a beach person but ocean views were spectacular. "
"The A/C worked really well and the rooms were perfect for our family of four. The shower worked great. Our favorite part was waking up in the morning to the patio table set for breakfast and a delicious, fresh meal made as soon as we came out. Our girls enjoyed the pool and I enjoyed that we could watch them from under the fan on our patio. This was a great spot with easy walking to restaurants and the beach too! "
"Absolutely beautiful property conveniently located on the beach where boat tours depart. The location is also walking distance to restaurants, shops and nightlife. The staff is absolutely top notch! Everyone was so nice and helpful. Zula helped us plan the most amazing events!!!"
