Occasional barking dog at night, one night went a bit long, but the responsibility of the hotel? Can't do much about a noisy neighbor...maybe a temporary thing. Staff wonderful, place very clean and great view out the window. Good value!

The chambermaid Marta was great The rest of the other than two people were the worst staff in my coming to tamarindo for 15 years. People working behind the bar and the receptionist didn't even say hi when I entered the lobby. Really sad.

The parking is practically on the street, the cabin is just enough to stay a night but it’s difficult to sleep because the place is next to Main Street so you hear cars all night long, there is a bad smell.

Thank you for great service!

I gave this spot 4 stars because of how amazing the people were. Specifically the man who checked me in and the overall service. The A/C wouldn’t turn on in my room so I was upgraded to a much better room with a balcony which I really appreciated! The issue is that the sheets and bedding were stained so it didn’t feel clean I didn’t even use the pillows I used my sweater lol - new linens would be a good investment for this property. Also the bathroom didn’t smell clean at all and the hallway and room was infested with mosquitoes so bring your choice of deet! I usually use the natural stuff but it won’t work in this spot… Thank you for the amazing service but ownership should consider a new linen order and maybe some bleach in the bathroom!

If you are ok with staying in a room that has the bare minimum this place is a gem for its location and rustic charm. The view from our room was amazing with beachfront access and the food at the Red Door restaurant downstairs was amazing! They had live music and friendly staff. There aren’t any frills and the staff did not speak English but the location and seclusion at the north end of Tamarindo made it such a delight for us.

The room was nasty! There was a cockroach, the shower was broken, and I couldn't even control the water temperature. And most of the time, there wasn't even anyone at the front desk... The only good thing was that it was close to the beach. Oh, and the people who worked there were nice, I guess.

This was my 2nd visit to Laguna de Cocodrilos. Great, quiet location right off the beach at the mouth of the estuary. Only a few minutes walking distance to downtown. Stayed in a Jr. Suite (#12) and thoroughly enjoyed my brief stay.

Convenient location, and a private path to the beach. But no one at front desk when trying to check out at 8am, the toilet in our room was really dirty. You’re right on the Main Street so it can get noisy but that’s to be expected.

The accomodations were okay. The room was clean but basic and small for 3 people. Beds were not very comfortable. We only stayed one night so it was fine. Our room was on the street side and it was very noisy with traffic at all hours, even through the night. The staff was friendly and the restaurant downstairs was very lovely and a good place to sit near the beach and watch the animals in the trees. We saw 3 monkeys just hanging out in one tree and a huge iguana resting in another tree just above us.
