Windows and doors aren't well insulated and you can hear every word of the music from the neighboring establishment. Once that place calls it a night, the thumping bass from another place continues. You can also hear the hotel gate opening and closing throughout the night. In short, not bad but really noisy. Receptionist was nice, also gave me an extra blanket when I asked for one. Decently clean, spacious and comfortable. Very central location, with the beach across the street and lots of restaurants and bars around. ##### Nisreen Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2026 Verified ### 2/10 Terrible #### Peter 6 Feb 2026 If you like gettin ##### Peter Stayed 1 night in Feb 2026 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kurt 3 Feb 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities A little was needed but overall perfect ##### Kurt Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2026 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lia 2 Feb 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Clean rooms, friendly staff!

Pour le prix, je ne pouvais demander mieux. La proximité de la plage, des restaurants et de tous les attraits de Tamarindo était parfait. Il faudra noter par compte qu’après une certaine heure, il n’y a pas de réception et l’enregistrement pour le check. In doit être fait avant. Par contre je mentionne que nous avons été chanceux il y avait toujours quelqu’un sur place lors de notre arrivée tardive. ##### Dave Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2026 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Janet 26 Jan 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities We visit Tamarindo often and this was the first time we stayed at Zulu Surf Hotel and it was perfect!

The hotel is in a great location, literally in the center of everything and Tamarindo Beach is across the street. I highly recommend 10 out of 10! ##### Georgia Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2026 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Sofia 23 Jan 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities great location and decent location. was very quiet and was expecting more liveliness ##### Sofia Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2026 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andrii 22 Jan 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great place and experience. 3 beach spots are close. Better to have a car to go around. ##### Andrii Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2026 Verified ### 2/10 Terrible #### Warren 20 Jan 2026 Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities We walked away from a two week pre-paid booking after the first night. Unbelievable noise! Drapes don’t properly cover windows. TV doesn’t work. Kitchen poorly equipped. Bathroom plumbing broken. Half hearted attempt to cover window beside door provides no privacy. Part time check in/check out person lovely. Housekeeping lovely. Believe the reviews that say don’t accept front rooms. ##### Warren Stayed 13 nights in Jan 2026 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### jeanne 18 Jan 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Very friendly staff.

Bring ear plugs if you go to bed early. Location, location Location !! ##### Daniel Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2026 Verified ### 2/10 Terrible #### Yousef 4 Jan 2026 No proper reception, I sanitized room, at night discovered cockroaches, left hotel next morning and did not stay next day of my reservation. Put a complain and requested refund but hotel ignored my concern and did not refund. ##### Yousef Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2025 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Oliver 3 Jan 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Super Lage, nur 2 Minuten vom Strand entfernt und in unmittelbarer Umgebung vieler Lokale. Leider war das Zimmer extrem hellhörig weshalb es die ganze Nacht laut war, das Zimmer selbst war schlicht bot aber alles was man braucht. ##### Oliver Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2025 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Kyle 2 Jan 2026 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Property conditions & facilities The location of this place was the biggest benefit. You’re right in the middle of Tamarindo so having access to everything was perfect. Our room itself was okay, but the door wasn’t properly sealed and had two huge gaps on top and bottom, check in wasn’t very clear, and was confusing when checking in. The AC worked but not very well. The blinds to the room were see through. And parking was a pain-but we did come at a busy time. Otherwise was an awesome stay! ##### Kyle Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### José 2 Jan 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Muy buena ubicación.

Highly recommend! ##### Taras Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Talisha 27 Dec 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Loved this hotel! Close to everything in Tamarindo, great for the price. The only thing I would have to say is compared to another hotel we stayed at in Tamarindo, it was a but loud at times at night. But that is not the hotels fault, I think it really is just because it’s a busy street. But if you’re looking to be in the center of the party, this is the place to be. Easy self check in and parking right at the entrance of the hotel. Would 100% go back and recommend. ##### Talisha Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lisa 26 Dec 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very cute place to stay in Tamarindo, gated and safe. Close to everything. Staff are lovely and very helpful. Highly recommend. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/03ca703a-eb96-42c8-b68a-ff385dfd05dd-1766778299379.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Lisa Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2025 ---
