We stayed at this hotel for 10 nights.

The service was excellent, the staff were friendly, helpful and accommodating.

Wonderful pool

Excellent hot breakfast, made to order

We won a free catamaran sunset snorkel cruise; you could too!

Location is made up for by the free shuttle. Juan Carlos is excellent!

24 hour front desk gets you a cab at 4am when your shuttle service doesn't show up.

Bring food to snack on, they only provide restaurant service until 10am, then you're on your own.

I have traveled to many places around the world, but never have I been treated with such graceful hospitality and respect! The staff at Camino a Tamarindo is friendly, accommodating, and goes to great lengths to make sure my vacation needs are met! I would definitely book at this hotel again and will encourage my friends to stay here. Thank you to all for making my vacation experience a memorable one!

We stopped by without a reservation and asked to see one of the rooms. We were very surprised to find high ceilings, very nice ceiling fan, remote control air conditioning, king size bed, and very decent bathroom. The lighting, curtains and other details made us feel very comfortable. A small front porch over looking an "AMAZING POOL" in which the following morning I spent over an hour in.
Breakfast which came with the room was scrambled eggs, pinto (rice and beans), and good coffee. The staff treated us great.
If your looking for a clean, very safe (hard to find at these prices), and also very quiet, this place will fit right in. But that is not why I'm writing all this. Me in all my mechanical skills decided to make a small adjustment on the car. Well you know how that goes. "Hey honey, it will only take a couple minutes", right! An hour later I was filthy dirty and... a half an hour after we left I realized I had left five tools sitting on a cement parking barrier. One of the tools was my Leatherman. They run about $160 here in Costa Rica. I was sick. The parking lot was completely empty when we left. Well to make a long story short my wife called them immediately and within an hour they had found my tools. The next day they shipped them to us, no charge. We begged to pay and they refused.
Now I realize in other countries this might be considered common service, but in Costa Rica this is nothing shy of fantastic. If they are willing to something like that for us, what might they do for you?
I have lived in CR for eight years and stayed in a lot of places, but I have never written one thing about any of them. Most were not worth writing about. These people deserved it though.
I want to say thanks to the staff for working at that hotel and treating us like we were really important, and not just another tourist.

We spent two nights in TamarGringo, er I mean Tamarindo at this hotel. I would strongly advise not staying here without a car. It's a good 10 minute drive to the beach. I should mention thos os not a walkable 10 minute commute. The rooms were clean, but dated. The shower was difficult to maneuver. It took me a good 10 minutes to figure out how to jiggle the handle for hot water. Breakfast left something to be desired... Choices were either Continental or Typico. Continental consisted of fruit and toast. Typico was rice and beans, eggs and cheese. The door is broken to the dining room area so the waitress has to unlock it every time someone comes in and out. Lastly, they have an armed security guard out front from about 6 pm on... I didn't feel unsafe until I actually saw him out there. The only pro was the pool. It's massive and clean.
