"The bar and restaurant area was beautiful and the only problem was that it was not open when I was there. Breakfast was good. The pools were clean. It is very nice gated community. And a safe environment. I would definitely stay there again."
"We had a horrible experience before coming to this place so we were extraordinarily happy to find a clean location. This place is brand new so it’s very clean and wonderful. The only thing I would say is that if you’re planning a big visit to Tamarindo stay at this place in 2027 and check that the construction is finished.

"Très bel endroit, avec un décor serein et une magnifique piscine. Le personnel est extrêmement sympathique et accommodant. Super attention aux détails. Une navette était à notre disposition toute la journée pour aller à la plage. Je recommande !"
"Beautiful property and room! The pools are plentiful and never felt crowded—we saw a monkey!
Treat yourself to an evening sunset by the lobby bar—breathtaking!
The beach is ona beautiful cove. My kids enjoyed the rocky areas for “tidepooling” for hermit crabs, fish, etc. There is a nice reef right off the beach where daily snorkeling activities are available. We saw a puffer fish, some colorful tropical fish and a spotted ray.
Note the beach is public, but the locals are friendly and not...
"The staff were accommodating and always willing to help. Our room was lovely and as advertised online. Clean, comfortable, and quiet. The pools were wonderful and our spa experience was extremely positive.
Overall good value for dollar.
Our only complaint would be the cost of a poolside drink - it was wild!"
"Staff was top notch! Freindly and helpful. Everything was clean and comfortable. Breakfast everymoring was consistanly good. My wife and I would love to stay there again."
