"Very nice and cute little hotel. Pool is beautiful, you can step into it right after leave the room. There are ocean view rooms too in front of a quiet beach. Few minutes drive from the center of Tamarindo. Staffs are nice and helpful, one gentleman helped my son to find the iguana. Breakfast was delivered to my door upon the time I requested.I had really good time in this hotel."
