“Beach hotel”

The location is great. The room had a kitchen. The price is good. But this is an older hotel, with all the signs of age. The staff is very friendly. The online description states "ocean view" but this is not an ocean view from the rooms. Also, the wireless connection was very weak. We could only get access on the patio, not in the room.

Area recommendations
The Paris bakery across the street has great sandwiches for a good price.

“Tamarindo is awesome - The Best Western is good...”

First off - Fernando, Javier and Maria were great. And Trevor was super nice. I went to check in and got an upgrade - epic. My room had an ocean view that was super. The pool and bar area were nice. My room was clean and always kept that way. The AC worked perfectly and made it easier to sleep. The small kitchen worked to cook meals. The on-site restaurant was good. The free breakfast was fine. Close to all the good shops and spots. Lots of bugs around - use repellant. Not a lot of pots and pans in the room - but enough to cook. The hotel is old (the first in Tamarindo I was told) so don't expect the Ritz - but the staff works hard to keep the place up. Wi-Fi didn't work in my room - but it worked by the pool - so I could stay conntected. Can't say enough about the people of CR - first visit - hopefully not the last. PURA VIDA P.S. The people at WRSC and Kelly's and Eat at Joe's were all great as well. P.S.S. Go to Avellana and eat/surf/drink at Lola's if you can... P.S.S.S. Imperial!

“Good, Not Great”

The hotel is a good location, the service was OK, but then again we went in the off season when they were probably a little understaffed. The breakfast wasn't that good either. The hotel itself is very nice, great view and really close to everything. It was a good overall experience and I would definitely stay there again.

“Awesome Honeymoon, Will be back!”

Excellent staff, went out of their way to make sure our trip was a success, best bar/restaurant in the area. We absolutely loved the staff, Fernando the bartender was awesome and made every night that much more enjoyable. Cant wait to go back! Within comfortable walking distance of everything you need. Very Clean!

“Not Impressed”

The bar staff was amazing, the amenities were not. The hotel lacked simple things that you expect a room to have (a clock for example), and there was no fitness center even though one was advertised.

“Comfortable Stay”

I didn't know Tamardindo so booked at the Best Western because of online reviews. Comfortable room with full kitchen. Kitchen option was nice although we really only used the refrigerator and the microwave. Prompt service with a few minor room problems. Neighbors were very noisy and since the hotel was mostly empty the noise issue might be worse at peak times. Breakfast was basic but adequate. Attached surf shop was staffed with great people.

“Great Value”

My friend and i stayed here for a post college graduation trip. Great value for people on a budget-- the rooms were very spacious and the included breakfast was always great to have (one less meal to pay for).The staff was friendly and helped us plan all our activities/transportation. The proximity to the beach and 'town' was excellent.
