Ernest, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

This property was unfortunately older than the photos and could use new beds or memory foam toppers. The cleaning staff was very nice and accommodating. It’s walking distance to the main strip but furthermore to the shops the beach is close but there is no shade there.
Julijana, 5-night trip

6/10 Good

Very basic but just what we needed!. Staff was friendly especially the housekeepers. Would recommend and hopefully will will be back again!
Dawn, 6-night trip

8/10 Very good

Occasional barking dog at night, one night went a bit long, but the responsibility of the hotel? Can't do much about a noisy neighbor...maybe a temporary thing. Staff wonderful, place very clean and great view out the window. Good value!

Need way better signs out front!!!!! Like to never found property.
Michael, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

The parking is practically on the street, the cabin is just enough to stay a night but it’s difficult to sleep because the place is next to Main Street so you hear cars all night long, there is a bad smell.
Alejandro, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

The chambermaid Marta was great The rest of the other than two people were the worst staff in my coming to tamarindo for 15 years. People working behind the bar and the receptionist didn't even say hi when I entered the lobby. Really sad.

Matthew, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

It is a good property and location for the price. Several things didn't work and it was difficult to get it fixed. I wouldn't take my family there, but it was ok for a guys trip.

Scott, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This was my 2nd visit to Laguna de Cocodrilos. Great, quiet location right off the beach at the mouth of the estuary. Only a few minutes walking distance to downtown. Stayed in a Jr. Suite (#12) and thoroughly enjoyed my brief stay.
JOHN, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Property is very well located. Walkable distance to supermarket and restaurants. Parking on site and friendly staff.
Cecilia, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Other than an unusual smell in the room, it’s everything you need, steps to the beach, with a great restaurant on site at a very affordable price. It’s a simple room in great surroundings
Jessica, 1-night trip

Walking distance to town and beach

We loved this place! Walking distance to downtown. Very friendly staff.
Stacey, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

If you are ok with staying in a room that has the bare minimum this place is a gem for its location and rustic charm. The view from our room was amazing with beachfront access and the food at the Red Door restaurant downstairs was amazing! They had live music and friendly staff. There aren’t any frills and the staff did not speak English but the location and seclusion at the north end of Tamarindo made it such a delight for us.
Casey, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Overall a very great place directly on the beach. Far enough from downtown for quiet night, but still pretty close and walking distance (10-15minutes) to all activities and restaurants. Nice owners and staff
Marie-Eve, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Property is located steps from the beach, no street to cross. Parking was easy. Ten minute walk to town center. Close to restaurants, shopping and nightlife.
John, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I would recommend this Hotel to anyone that wants a quiet no-frills stay in Tamarindo. Great owners and decent rooms. Close to the beach, but far enough from the noise.
Craig, 5-night trip

8/10 Very good

Cute hotel with everything we needed. AC was nice, as we weren’t adjusted to the heat yet. Walkable to the beach, shops and restaurants. Plus the restaurant at the resort looked so cute!!!
Katrina, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good clean, no frills, place that is away from the main part of town. Close to the beach.

10/10 Exceptional

We stayed here for one night and were impressed with the reception upon arrival. They helped us park, walked us in and showed us to our room. It had great music playing in the restaurant and was very quiet when it was time for bed. We would definitely stay here again.
