The attention from the ladies who take care of the cleaning and breakfast is truly unique — their dedication and willingness to help with anything you need is surprising in the best way, something you don’t see very often. The manager was also very kind, and the explanation of the check-in process was clear and perfect. Breakfast time is so friendly and cozy that it feels less like a hotel and more like staying in a family home. The location is perfect, right in front of the ocean. Tamarindo is already beautiful, but this place makes it even more special. ##### MARCOS Stayed 1 night in Nov 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Terrapin Lina Dec 6, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities It was a great stay overall! While it isn’t necessarily oceanfront, it’s across the street from the beach! Very convenient location at the beginning of the strip in Tamarindo. It’s a laidback simple living type of vibe and the breakfast is great and filling. Be sure to read the “check in” email because otherwise it will be confusing as it is a self check in system but there are also people at the hotel who will gladly help you out if you have any questions! I like that it’s not smack in the middle of everything because weekends especially get louder and busy so we aren’t merged into all that but it is surrounded by shops hotels restaurants markets etc… it’s a short 9 min walk to the main hub of beachfront restaurants and gift shops of tamarindo beach so very easy to get around and learn the streets. The staff are sweet and I would stay there again. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/9dfb4efa-284e-43c6-acfa-60b453e2d65c-1765045929333.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/aaa18fed-f312-4e75-b708-74f636aaaeda-1765045950054.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/47195cff-b7e7-43e1-b3a6-48206434010a-1765045915339.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Terrapin Lina Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Susan Feb 14, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The convenience to restaurants and shopping and the beach. All within an easy walk. ##### Susan Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Jeremy Oct 17, 2025 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities This place is what it is - a cheap convenient place in Tamarindo right across from the Beach. I had to last minute book this place because my plans changed. Got to my room and the water pressure was 1/10 and not hot. I sat in the room for about an hour to cool off from the day and tried the shower again and still nothing. The room itself is basic, one bedsheet had a big stain. I ended up just leaving and not staying there. I decided I would rather drive back to Liberia and get a real hotel room before my flight the next day than stay here. What's good about this place? The location is good, the common areas inside seemed pretty good - seemed quiet. Overall a very 5/10 place. I was there during the peak of rainy season and the "off season" so maybe quality and service is better when it's much busier. ##### Jeremy Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jeremy May 3, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Make sure you have your check-in code before you arrive. The rooms are new, clean, and safe. Staff are all gone by 3pm every day. ##### Jeremy Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sharla Apr 15, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Staff was really friendly. It only a short walk from the beach. ##### Sharla Stayed 1 night in Apr 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Simon-james Mar 26, 2025 Liked: Staff & service, amenities location is great, breakfast is simple but good. don’t take room 9(double double bed), it’s to close from the road and has bad isolation.also not a real outside window, Chilling spot to small Room was cleaned every day👌 Good place to be if you only plan about sleeping at the hotel ##### Simon-james Stayed 5 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### heather Apr 10, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Basic property but has everything you need including blow dryer and mini refrigerator also close to everything and right across from the beach. ##### heather Stayed 1 night in Apr 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Palina Feb 4, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Overall we had a positive experience staying at Surf ranch. The hotel is located in a great spot and is close to the beach and all the shops and restaurants. The breakfast was decent and the room was clean. What we were not happy about was the very slow WiFi and how dark our room was. We were located at the first floor and people were hanging out outside of our room till late and we could literally hear everything. ##### Palina Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Clinton Jan 4, 2026 Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities Rooms were neglected, didnt recieve check in email, A/C remote was missing, breakfast was bad, the room smelled horribly. The hotel's location was its only redeeming feature. ##### Clinton Stayed 8 nights in Dec 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Rachid Jan 2, 2026 Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities Not very good the breakfast was really bad ##### Rachid Stayed 1 night in Dec 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Guylaine Jan 6, 2026 Liked: Property conditions & facilities Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service Breakfast is traditional Costa Rican..near the beach which was nice. Rooms are without office and you may have to wait for a code.. we were lucky to have help from some regular guests that were familiar with the process. Door was hard to open and rooms are very small. Wifi dont work in the rooms just in the common area. A step up from a hostel. ##### Guylaine Stayed 1 night in Jan 2026 ### 2/10 Terrible #### lara silvia Jan 8, 2026 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities bad room ##### lara silvia Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Nai Jun 17, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Its a great place to stay close to the beach. ##### Nai Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Razvan Dec 14, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Rooom was ok, fridge no tv. Staff was ok. Communication before checkin was poor. Many guests did not receive room and door codes before arriving. After you manage to get in your room things are ok. Breakfast is the same every morning. ##### Razvan Stayed 11 nights in Nov 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### martin Jan 30, 2026 Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities This hotel was a huge disappointment. There was a strong sewage smell throughout the property, the place felt dirty, and we found a large cockroach in our room. On the sidewalk next to the hotel, there is a broken grill; someone actually fell into it. We reported this to management, but nothing was done. They simply don’t seem to care. There is rarely anyone present on site, communication is slow and often impolite, and overall management is very poor. Breakfast is extremely basic and underwhelming — one egg only — which is unacceptable for the price charged. This place is vastly overpriced. At most, it should cost around $50 per night. There are much better options nearby, such as Marielos or even the cabins located behind it. I strongly recommend staying elsewhere. Tamarindo has many better places — this is not one of them. ##### martin Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2026 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Jennifer Jan 24, 2026 Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities This place scammed me! I initially booked a room with two twin beds, but had to change to two queen beds. The property agreed and accepted additional payment for a room with two queen beds. When I arrived the building was dirty. There was a strong stench of sewage throughout the property. To my surprise my room had two twin beds. Management was called and they informed us that the hotel was full and they could not fix their error. The company is refusing to return my money because they have a ‘100% no refund policy’. This company did not deliver services promised. Do not go here!!!!!! They are stating that they refunded me because they over charged me for my upgrade. So technically they refunded me for what they over charged me. Surf ranch claim the room with their beds and queen beds is the same price which is a lie. Master scammers. ##### Jennifer Stayed 1 night in Jan 2026 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dinh Aug 13, 2024 Liked: Amenities Great stay ##### Dinh Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brad Jan 4, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Great Surfing ##### Brad Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Pete Dec 25, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This place was so bad when we arrived just after midnight I had to spend the next 2 hours dealing with Expedia trying to get someone to fix our room. One of the beds had blood stains and other stains on the sheets. There was black mold coming from around the ceiling light and the shower tile was all busted up in the shower. There was no baseboard and there were huge cracks between the wall and floor. There was a cockroach in the room and it smelled like mold. I sent a message via WhatsApp to person overseeing the property and they responded way late. There was supposed to be an included breakfast in the mornings so I walked down to talk with that person to try and resolve the issue. No one was there. I recontacted Expedia and they were not able to get a hold of anyone from the property. Luckily I was able to book somewhere right in that area that was much better for me and my family. Stay away. This place has lots of potential but looks like the owners have let it turn into an absolute dump. ![Black mold from ceiling](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/e2d6aa22-c0db-41d7-8430-e0f0b65b7999-1766625859113.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Blood stains on sheets](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/1c44589f-2ef4-496d-8e24-8990787aa31e-1766625859533.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![More stains](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/38726310-0e04-4241-8ed1-885bb66778e6-1766625859497.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Broken tiles in shower](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/8b3f69cf-5da8-4479-bf68-3d2fb00892f5-1766625859277.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Pete Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Noah Apr 24, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Good location but pretty pricey for what you are getting.

If other visitors that were staying on the hotel didn’t help me, I could easily sleep on my car the first night. The other visitors gave me the number of the administration and by WhatsApp I received the check in instructions. I didn’t receive any mail with the passwords of the self check in. Also the amount of breakfast was too little, and with only one egg. ##### Juan Jose Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 ## Explore a world of travel with Expedia - [Lodging](?equalTargetTab=tab-0) - [Hotel Boyeros](https://www.expedia.com/Liberia-Hotels-Hotel-Boyeros.h11268329.Hotel-Information) - [Best Western El Sitio Hotel](https://www.expedia.com/Liberia-Hotels-Best-Western-El-Sitio-Hotel-Casino.h461341.Hotel-Information) - [Rio Perdido Hotel & Thermal River](https://www.expedia.com/Fortuna-Hotels-Rio-Perdido-Hotel-Thermal-River.h6371123.Hotel-Information) - [Borinquen Thermal Resort](https://www.expedia.com/Canas-Dulces-Hotels-Borinquen-Thermal-Resort.h1155801.Hotel-Information) - [Nosara Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.com/Nosara-Hotels-Nosara-Beach-Hotel.h32722062.Hotel-Information) - [Burbi Lake Lodge Monteverde](https://www.expedia.com/Quebrada-Grande-Hotels-Burbi-Lake-Lodge.h35814751.Hotel-Information) - [La Mansion Inn Arenal](https://www.expedia.com/Arenal-Hotels-La-Mansion-Inn-Arenal.h8254135.Hotel-Information) - [Hotel El Pequeño Gecko Verde](https://www.expedia.com/Samara-Hotels-Hotel-El-Pequeno-Gecko-Verde.h15711346.Hotel-Information) - [Azul Hotel & Retreat](https://www.expedia.com/Playa-Azul-Hotels-Azul-Ocean-Club-Hotel.h6776980.Hotel-Information) - [Hotel Sol Samara](https://www.expedia.com/Samara-Hotels-Hotel-Sol-Samara.h2977485.Hotel-Information) - [Nammbú Beachfront Bungalows](https://www.expedia.com/Puerto-Carrillo-Hotels-Nammbu-Beachfront-Bungalows.h11459871.Hotel-Information) - [Socialtel Nosara](https://www.expedia.com/Nosara-Hotels-Selina-Nosara.h32620956.Hotel-Information) - [Buena Vista del Rincon Eco Adventure Park, Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.com/Canas-Dulces-Hotels-Buena-Vista-Del-Rincon-Eco-Adventure-Park.h1858721.Hotel-Information) - [Villas Playa Samara Beach Front Resort](https://www.expedia.com/Samara-Hotels-Villas-Playa-Samara-Beach-Front-Resort.h888268.Hotel-Information) - [Hotel Hacienda Guachipelin](https://www.expedia.com/Curubande-Hotels-Hotel-Hacienda-Guachipelin.h1122531.Hotel-Information) - [Canon de La Vieja Lodge](https://www.expedia.com/Curubande-Hotels-Canon-De-La-Vieja-Lodge.h6457605.Hotel-Information) - [Azura Beach Resort - All Inclusive - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.com/Samara-Hotels-Azura-Beach-Resort-All-Inclusive-Adults-Only.h20586535.Hotel-Information) - [Hilton Garden Inn Guanacaste Airport](https://www.expedia.com/Liberia-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-Liberia-Airport.h2211738.Hotel-Information) - [Nandel Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.com/La-Cruz-Hotels-Nandel-Beach-Resort.h69385292.Hotel-Information) - [The Gilded Iguana Surf Hotel](https://www.expedia.com/Nosara-Hotels-The-Gilded-Iguana-Surf-Hotel.h22186079.Hotel-Information) - [Hotel Guiones](https://www.expedia.com/Nosara-Hotels-The-Gardens-Hotel.h39924982.Hotel-Information) - [Bodhi Tree Yoga Resort](https://www.expedia.com/Nosara-Hotels-Bodhi-Tree-Yoga-Resort.h10650362.Hotel-Information) - [Hotel Samara Beach](https://www.expedia.com/Samara-Hotels-Hotel-Samara-Beach.h1312337.Hotel-Information) - [Hotel Brisas del Pacifico](https://www.expedia.com/Samara-Hotels-Hotel-Brisas-Del-Pacifico.h12783953.Hotel-Information) - [Hotel Colinas del Miravalles](https://www.expedia.com/Fortuna-Hotels-Hotel-Colinas-Del-Miravalles.h9354958.Hotel-Information) - [Hotel Boutique Lagarta Lodge](https://www.expedia.com/Nosara-Hotels-Hotel-Boutique-Lagarta-Lodge.h12324224.Hotel-Information) - [Satori The Bubble Experience Lodge](https://www.expedia.com/Nosara-Hotels-Satori-The-Bubble-Experience-Lodge.h45182503.Hotel-Information)
