Quiet, Beautiful, Excellent Staff
Beautiful and quiet location. Excellent staff. Easy parking. Though Tamarindo was crowded, you’d never know it while there. Delicious breakfast option to boot.

Quaint spot close to town
Lovely spot to stay near town, but quiet. Staff and food was excellent. Nothing super fancy, but nothing wrong either. Would recommend.

Peaceful retreat close to the beach
We loved our stay ! The property is small and very peaceful, tucked into the jungle a bit away from the downtown - but still only a short walk to the beach. We loved the pool and daily breakfast. Would definitely stay again.

Wonderful hotel with amazing breakfast.
We stayed in three different hotels in Costa Rica for this week-long trip and this was by far the best. Though the rooms were a bit more expensive than the others, this was justified by the amenities. Rooms were nice, water was hot. And the breakfast, which is included, was a full made-to-order breakfast that would make any restaurant proud. Juan Carlos made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. Would recommend.

Boutique Paradise.
Amazing stay. Breakfast fresh cooked every day at 7:30. Pool areas was fantastic, patio area was like an outdoor paradise. Monkeys above us, Iguanas around. Great stay.

A wonderful oasis in Tamarindo!
We stayed for four nights at the beginning of a 10-day visit to Costa Rica. We were looking for somewhere walkable to town and the beach, but with a pool where we could relax in the shade reading in the hot afternoons. Arco Iris was perfect! We stayed in room #2 - one of the individual cabinas with a covered porch and hammock. Comfy bed, spacious bathroom and dressing area, excellent AC, and perfect porch for watching birds and monkeys. Daily breakfast was excellent and plentiful. Lots of options (I think we tried them all!), coffee available all day, a cold water dispenser, and so much space to sit and chill - shade or sun. The pool was refreshing and always clean, and the vibe was super chill. Highly recommend and would be at the top of our list if we return to Tamarindo.

Nice hotel very close to all the shops and beach. Wish the pool area was bigger but it’s a small hotel. Avocado toast for breakfast was very good.

Superbly located nice little hotel
Well located small and very nice hotel in Tamarindo. Nice pool and clean rooms in the center of the action. Literally 5 minutes to the beach and 2 minutes from the main street and the restaurants. We will certainly go back.
