American Samoabeautiful quiet place, my husband and I enjoyed the peace and quiet. The room was smaller but very nice and clean. It was a short walk to the beach. The owners are very nice and listened to our requests. I recommend it.

The location is perfectly situated at the beach, wonderful garden and places to stay outside. We also liked, that there are different restaurants being part of the hotel. And we appreciate that the salesperson at the beach are not allowed in the hotel area.

This was my second visit to this beautiful small hotel in Potrero Beach and for sure I will be back again.
The room was spotless clean and the bed was big and comfortable. The hostess, Susan, is really nice and she will make sure everything will go by the book. The location is excellent and the neighbourhood really safe. This hotel is located just 5 min away (walking distance) from the beach. On the other hand, Flamingo beach (one of my favourites) is just 5 min away by car.
Excellent place to stay to enjoy Potrero and Flamingo

BEST PLACE TO STAY FOR SOLO TRAVELERS. ADAPTABILITY IS A MUST IF YOU WILL STAY FOR A FEW DAYS. MAT, THE OWNER PROVIDE GOOD COFFE. THIS IS THE #1 PLACE AT TAMARINDO FOR THE CHEAPER PRICE YOU WILL EVER FIND. FROM MY POINT OF VIEW, AND IF YOU DISAGREEE WITH THIS COMMENT IF DUE TO YOUR LACK OF VISION AND CONFIDENCE.

Great, quiet location. Nice pool. 5 min walk to town and beach! Lovely host and staff. Rooms are ok, you have all the basics you need. You are basically staying in a large house with several rooms. Not a place to stay if you see looking for peace and quiet to do work, relax etc, as all areas of work are common so depending on how many guests are there, you might be surrounded by company which is great if you are are just vacationing and wanting to connect or meet people. Great pool to relax by!

The location is awesome if you want to walk downtown. It's very close.
Also.. if you arrive by bus it is very close to the terminal. Only a few minutes walk.
Wifi was good and everything was clean. We also had an air conditioning in our room which was necessary.
We could use the kitchen but since we didn't we can't really say a lot about it.

The hotel was amazing, and was the best location you can find In Tamarindo. The room was large with all ammenrities, the private patio in the beach was the best!. Ronaldo and his staff are simply the best! It really felt like a home away from home.

Great location for an overnight stop. The hosts were delightful and the furnishings were all new, very comfortable and clean. We normally don't book a room without reviews but the photos looked great, and the room lived up to it's expectation, just like in the photos. Would recommend to anyone looking for a no hassle place to stay for the night !

Best location ever, we had a balcony with beach view.
Even if taking a different room the restaurant is fantastic. There are tables on the beach beneath palm trees, a wonderful place for drinking smoothies amd cocktails. The beach is wide and nearly empty. Good for surfing as well.

This is the best place to stay if you want to see the arribada of turtles! The starting point of the tours is just right across the street. Ostional is quite far to drive from other locations, it is advisable to drive there in daylight and stay in the village for a night. The house is basic but comfortable, the rooms have AC and stable wifi. The hosts were super kind depsite the language barrier.

The location is fantastic, close enough to the beach and downtown while still being away from everything and quiet, it's just a short walk to anything you need. The staff is exceptional and really pay attention to detail. The food is delicious, the beds are extremely comfortable, and the co-working area and Wi-Fi are the best in Tamarindo.
