"I don’t usually write reviews, but I felt compelled to share my experience because there are so many unfairly negative ones out there. I paid roughly $40 a night, and for that price, this place exceeded my expectations. The rooms were clean and sanitary, and the location is hard to beat—literally right across the street from the beach. Breakfast was included and was a traditional Costa Rican gallo pinto with a cup of excellent coffee, which was a great way to start the day. Nothing fancy, just...

Seis Playas Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very warming environment, very family friendly and having a restaurant on site was very convenient. I was travelling around and stayed at several different places. I’d definitely recommend staying here. "

Ten North Tamarindo Beach Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We loved our 3 night stay! Fantastic location. Very clean. Great breakfast and each morning made fresh. Staff were thoughtful and went out of their way to improve our stay. Excellent poolside for playing cards. I definitely recommend for those who want a great value stay in Tamarindo! "

MARAVIDA Boutique Hotel & Resort

2/10 Terrible

"They throw a raging party on Friday nights, which is not made clear up upon booking only upon check-in. The party is ridiculously loud. You cannot sleep with the noise or the vibration of the room due to the loud music that goes until 2:30 in the morning. Completely unacceptable for a hotel. It is not a nightclub. It is a place where people go to try to get peace and sleep."
