The service was great. Staff was friendly and helpful. Great view from balcony rooms. Prepare yourself for lots of steps. This is the perfect place to stay if you want to be close to the River mouth on Tamarindo beach. The surf was great almost every day. Just far enough from downtown to feel like you’re an outsider but close enough to walk anywhere you want to go.
