So ive been coming to this hotel for a while. It seems like ownership has changed and with that the condition of the property. The rooms and buildings itself are falling apart, and they're very cheap with simple toilet paper. And on top of that the property is dirty and landscaping is being neglected and the pool was dirty. Its a shame, i wish ownership hadnt change i definitely wont be going back.

Great little chill oasis in the midst of Tamarindo. Was great to sit next to pool in the evening and have live music with beach bar vibes. Rooms are very basic, but common area really nice and location could not be better.

Loved our stay at this little oasis! So close to everything but once you step onto the property it feels like you’re miles away from everything! Seeing monkeys, squirrels , iguanas, different kinds of birds and of course , the two residents cats everyday was such a treat! We would definitely stay here again!! Pura Vida!!

Really pretty common area. Wonderful staff. Wildlife right in the hotel common area was a treat. Rooms could certainly use some upgrading. Didn't feel the interior of our room looked like any of the different rooms shown on the advertisement. Overall convenient location and felt safe.

Basic hotel in Tamarindo. Came here during the peak season, so the prices were high. Pool was nice, but rooms were super basic and felt overpriced.
