Stayed for 7 days in late November during low season when it was nearly empty. Pros: Price = $50/ day w/ bkfst; Location close to the beach. Large clean pool. Cons: Service & amenities - It's no Ritz Carlton, but you can't beat it for the money. Rooms are basic, grounds are nice. Would definitely recommend it for anyone looking... More

I went to Costa Rica with a group from my church. There were about 26 of us split between about 9 rooms. The rooms varied from completely fine (my room) to somewhat run down. There were ants in some of the rooms, but they didn't seem to bother anyone. When we first arrived, one room had a broken AC unit.... More

I stayed here for 7 days I found it very relaxing and quiet compared to the bustle of Tamarindo. The room was basic yet cosy and clean and with all the amenities like AC and Wifi. The surroundings are tranquil and relaxing and if you are luck you get to hear the owner sing some opera at breakfast !! More

Hello All Yes I was one out of meny that got stranded by the ash claud from island. and because I couldn't go home I had to find a hotel that was both central, good and low priced, and I can only say the tropicana is all that. it helps if you speak spanish because most of the help doesn't... More

We arrived there because the taxi from Tamarindo Airport drove us there. From the outside the place looks nice and more expensive than what really is. When we enter the reception is very basic and ugly. The price for a room for 2 was USD 40 with breakfast included. For 2 rooms (1 person per room) we got a price... More

For my first time down in Playa Giuones, which was not only a beautiful place all on it own, Hotel Tropicana was the icing on the cake. Being a tiny bit further from the beach than all of the other 'surfer' hotels, it was nice to escape and relax between sessions. We had room #4, which was the furthest from... More

The hotel is very basic, good enough if you just want a bed and you are gonna spend your day doing activities. The hotel is very bland, the breakfast(included) is terrible, we tried it once and never went back. The hotel has no security at night!!! So do not try to dry your clothes outside as they will get nicked... More

A neighboring hotel was over booked, so for the first nite , was moved over to Tropicana. Went out to dinner and came back, everything of value was taken from the room,,,, over $1000 dollars worth. I guess this place is ok to stay at as long as you don't mind donating your valuables to theives. Door was locked, so... More

This should have been the highlight of the trip, but it wasn't. We were scheduled for the Hotel Tamarindo Dira, right on the beach. Last minute change by our tour agency, Grand Circle, put us across the street in the Hotel Tropicana - a disaster. I am not sure what I can really write about this place other than I... More
