Top Tamarindo Hotel Reviews

Hotel Arco Iris

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing property close to anmen and 8 mins walk to the beach. Clean pool and freshly made breakfast on order everyday."

JW Marriott Guanacaste Beach Resort

8/10 Good

"Ok, so after spending 8 days here we can give a very thorough review and comparison to the W that we also stayed at nearby for 3 nights. The staff was amazing!!! Beware!!! The road is ridiculous into the property!! It is a dirt road that has random animals, atv’ers, parked card and other fun surprises. Apparently they are working on a permanent paved road but this one is definitely a problem. It almost made you not want to leave the property. It was exactly 42 min each way to Tamarindo. The grounds were not kept to the jw standard. The gardens were dry and overgrown, the pool chairs had bird poop all over them, and the staff only cleans up the pool area at the end of the day. All the food and drink cups sit out all day. In addition, the elevator had mold all around the top rim, and the food was sub par. We did the all inclusive so we ate everywhere. The best restaurant was the Azul restaurant by the beach. The pool was huge. My kids had a blast. The ocean has full on waves and rocks, so it can be dangerous. There are no water sports like the W has. Also, the JW is in a dry area, there was little go no wildlife (monkeys, bugs, frogs, etc), a plus for me! The W is in a mangrove so its crazy buggy and filled with howler monkeys, lizards, etc. with all that being said the vibe at the JW was better. The W is built on a hillside and its a shlep everywhere and its not a hotel feel. We loved the W’s room (we had a suite with a jacuzzi outside) we would still choose the JW."

Hotel Tamarindo Diria Beach Resort

8/10 Good

"The resort is beautiful, especially on the ocean side of the street. The pool at the other side is large with a swim-up bar and very pleasant. Front desk and site personnel were great. Concierge not so much. I could tell they just book with the companies they have an agreement with, without any concern for what we are looking for- they were on autopilot and just pointed to whatever was shown on their iPad. I wouldn't recommend doing the ATV forest tour through them. It was mostly farmland with some forest, and saw zero animals. The estuary mangrove tour was excellent, and I would recommend going as early as possible. The breakfast buffet was excellent, with seating overlooking the ocean. The rooms are as expected and clean. The view from the oceanfront rooms is gorgeous. No toilet paper allowed in toilets, just fyi. The restaurants on the "Boulevard" had extra-long waits for food. The servers were all pleasant but either short-staffed or highly disorganized. DO NOT TRY THEIR SUSHI restaurant. Worst sushi ever eaten in our lives. The hotel's gelataria was great and reasonably priced. The lines look long, but they are well-staffed and go fast. The Bar is good about having pitchers of water to refill water bottles, but otherwise, there isn't a dedicated water refill station. There is a liquor store near the hotel where you can buy bottled water, Gatorade, soda, etc. Location is NOT secluded but near shops and restaurants, which is what we wanted."

The mVillas with Exclusive Beach Club Access

10/10 Excellent

"So, I loved it so much I came back for another stay. I started my 3 week tour of Costa Rica here in this villa and at the end of my trip I adjusted my plans and made sure to return back to Tamarindo and stay a few more nights because I enjoyed the stay that much. We are already taking about returning next summer with more friends and family. The pass to the beachfront club is a great bonus for staying at this villa. They really do take care of so many little details that are appreciated like soap for laundry, beach towels, umbrellas, yoga mats and even a beach bag! This was my absolute favorite place we stayed in my 3 week trip."

Wyndham Tamarindo

10/10 Excellent

"I had an amazing time at this Hotel. I was nervous because I was on a solo trip, but i felt completely at ease and safe. The views are magnificent and everyone was friendly. The free shuttle service to downtown Tamarindo is great and I enjoyed the beach club that we have access too. The food at the Hotel is excellent as well. I really loved my experience."

The Coast Beachfront Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was extremely helpful throughout our stay. Luckily our villa happened to be ready a little early when we arrived. Breakfast was delivered promptly to our room at the time we requested. We were even able to get breakfast pre-packaged the night before one of our tours that had an early pickup. Being steps away from the beach was one of the best perks as well. The location isn’t too far from the central part of town, but a good distance away where it was nice and quiet during our stay — until nature sounds woke us up every morning, which wasn’t a bad thing."
