This property was unfortunately older than the photos and could use new beds or memory foam toppers. The cleaning staff was very nice and accommodating. It’s walking distance to the main strip but furthermore to the shops the beach is close but there is no shade there.

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!

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.

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.

This place was right where I wanted to be and easy access to all! Away from all the fuss but close enough to walk to them if I had chosen to. My room was perfect as I can see the ocean in the morning and walk straight out to the river to cross to get to Playa Grande.

The staff were awesome. I sprained my ankle pretty badly in town and they were so helpful. One of the staff is well educated in first aid and he completely assessed my ankle and helped with icing it and immobilizing it. The check in was smooth and very laid back feeling. Room was super clean and great size. They have an outdoor shower to rinse of the sand. The dining room has amazing food. The price was really inexpensive. I would stay there again

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
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.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
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.
