10/10 Excellent
"I wish there were more rating stars available. I stayed for about 8 nights in a ground floor room that had a nice outside kitchen. The owner and managers were extremely welcoming, friendly, and informative. They made my visit to Tamarindo very low-stress and enjoyable. The meals were affordable and delicious (awesome chicken tacos!)! On one occasion, the manager cooked a lunch for me when the kitchen was officially closed! The room was clean and everything worked well."

The Coast Beachfront Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"We loved our stay at the beachfront hotel! The staff was very nice and it was a perfect location to walk to downtown Tamarindo when it was nice weather, or just a short drive. There were a lot of ants in our room, but that is probably just the norm. We wish the paddle boards and surfboards were a little bit better kept, as there was only one paddle for the paddle boards, and it broke within a few minutes of using it. A few of the surfboards definitely needed some maintenance as well. The breakfast every morning was very nice, and we would definitely stay here again!"

"Property was very clean, and staff were very friendly. We had a great view of the ocean from our room. We did have an intruder (Racoon) enter our room through the balcony door and open the bar fridge and stole a bag of peanuts. We learned that we needed to keep our balcony door locked and not just closed! However, we will definitely go back! Food and drinks are a little pricey!"
