Small hotel with only 7 rooms and just steps away from the beach. Loved the location, close to restaurants and other shops. Great staff, especially Rolando, very nice person. The only issue was the toilet, the whole bathroom system needs to be updated… but we will definitely go back!

We love this place for the convent location on the beach and in the middle of town with all the shopping and restaurants outside your door. Offers a clean room and air-conditioning. As many of the small properties in Tamarindo, you can NOT flush toilet paper in the toilet. The large hotels and condo do have plumbing facilities that allow you to flush the paper.

Thank you Sandra for understanding, we very close to the beach and that it is why no toilet paper inside, just in the baskett , cheers Rolando

We love this place! This was our second stay and you just can’t beat the location! Our room captures the beauty of the ocean only steps from the beach with plenty of lounge chairs and restaurant just steps away. Staff are extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating. Make sure to get a massage right there on the beach.
