We stayed at the Hotel Arco Iris for a week and really enjoyed it. The room was modern and very clean, the staff very friendly and the grounds very pretty. We met Richard, the owner, the second day of our stay and he was very friendly. There were lots of lizards running around and one morning we saw 2 monkeys... More

We came from the Four Seasons in Costa Rica and wanted a nice, clean, comfortable and affordable hotel in Tamarindo. We found it at the Hotel Arco Iris. The rooms are nice, comfortable beds, clean and great bathrooms. The water pressure is low in the showers but it's probably best so that we conserve water during the dry season. The... More

We stayed for 3 nights at Hotel Arco Iris. We found both the owner and his staff to be very helpful. The room was clean, and we did not have a problem with the bed. I did get bitten one night all over my leg, but I cannot really blame anybody for that, as we were in a tropical climate.... More

We finished our trip to CR at this hotel which is hard to find, but it's worth looking for. It is exceptionally clean and well run for an establishment of this size, with lovely well designed modern bathrooms, and, especially good for me, loads of clean fresh towels and branded shampoo sachets. Staying with the towel theme, it was refreshing... More

Hotel Arco Iris is off the main street in tamarindo, about a 10 min leisurely walk to the beach. It's close to a supermarket and other boutique hotels, hostels, and low key restaurants. The hotel is clean with a masculine modern design with a small pool and great restaurant. It's not by any means a five star luxury resort but... More

Stayed at the Hotel Arco Iris for three nights with two friends. The hotel is quaint and cute. It's not directly on the beach but it's within walking distance (literally a 5min walk). The hotel owner, Richard, greeted us when we arrived and provided us with recommendations on where to eat. The hotel is very clean and I'm a bit... More

INTRO: I stayed at this hotel for TWO nights while in Tamarindo with my gf. We had booked this in advance prior to arrival in the beach town PRO's -CLEAN - the rooms are in excellent condition and the bathrooms are quite modernized. This means HOT water, an endless supply of fresh towels, and a fully operational A/C -PROXIMITY -... More

Tamarindo is a great little town filled with surf shops, cool bars, great restaraunts and beautiful beaches. I always felt safe walking and driving around. Plenty of places to eat and drink. That said, Hotel Arco Iris was a great base for our trip. Beautiful, well maintained grounds, nice clean rooms, nice little pool for the post beach dip, and... More

This is a beautiful little oasis just off the main grid of downtown Tamarindo. The rooms are very clean and have very comfy hammocks on the private porch. The restaurant is top notch and the owner Richard is helpful and super friendly. We booked late and could only get 3 nights here and then had to move to another hotel... More
