The level of attentiveness of the staff at Pacific Kalokairi was beyond excellent. Although location and amenities are important when selecting a hotel, I am always looking to see what else makes a place special. I can say without a doubt that their attention to the "little things" makes this hotel 5 stars in my opinion. An example of the little things: There were 2 days when we needed to leave the property before breakfast was served so that we could go on tours and Virginia actually packed us a "to go" breakfast and brought it to our room the night before so that we wouldn't be hungry the next morning.
I cannot express how much Virigina, Sylvia, Maria and Santi made us feel like we were visiting their home as opposed to staying at a hotel. From restaurant recommendations to making breakfast and everything in between, they were helpful, friendly and just conscientious of all of their guests' needs. If you are looking for a small, intimate place to stay while in Tamarindo, this is definitely the place. And they have a dog... Charly, who was the cherry on top of our sundae :)_He is the sweetest boy you will ever meet.
