It is a good property and location for the price. Several things didn't work and it was difficult to get it fixed. I wouldn't take my family there, but it was ok for a guys trip.

Scott, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
JOHN, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Other than an unusual smell in the room, it’s everything you need, steps to the beach, with a great restaurant on site at a very affordable price. It’s a simple room in great surroundings
Jessica, 1-night trip

Property is very well located. Walkable distance to supermarket and restaurants. Parking on site and friendly staff.

Walking distance to town and beach
We loved this place! Walking distance to downtown. Very friendly staff.
Stacey, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.
Casey, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Overall a very great place directly on the beach. Far enough from downtown for quiet night, but still pretty close and walking distance (10-15minutes) to all activities and restaurants. Nice owners and staff
Marie-Eve, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Property is located steps from the beach, no street to cross. Parking was easy. Ten minute walk to town center. Close to restaurants, shopping and nightlife.

Thank you for great service!
I gave this spot 4 stars because of how amazing the people were. Specifically the man who checked me in and the overall service. The A/C wouldn’t turn on in my room so I was upgraded to a much better room with a balcony which I really appreciated! The issue is that the sheets and bedding were stained so it didn’t feel clean I didn’t even use the pillows I used my sweater lol - new linens would be a good investment for this property. Also the bathroom didn’t smell clean at all and the hallway and room was infested with mosquitoes so bring your choice of deet! I usually use the natural stuff but it won’t work in this spot… Thank you for the amazing service but ownership should consider a new linen order and maybe some bleach in the bathroom!

I would recommend this Hotel to anyone that wants a quiet no-frills stay in Tamarindo. Great owners and decent rooms. Close to the beach, but far enough from the noise.
Craig, 5-night trip

8/10 Very good

Cute hotel with everything we needed. AC was nice, as we weren’t adjusted to the heat yet. Walkable to the beach, shops and restaurants. Plus the restaurant at the resort looked so cute!!!
Katrina, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Convenient location, and a private path to the beach. But no one at front desk when trying to check out at 8am, the toilet in our room was really dirty. You’re right on the Main Street so it can get noisy but that’s to be expected.
Johnathon, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We stayed here for one night and were impressed with the reception upon arrival. They helped us park, walked us in and showed us to our room. It had great music playing in the restaurant and was very quiet when it was time for bed. We would definitely stay here again.
Thomas, 1-night trip

Good clean, no frills, place that is away from the main part of town. Close to the beach.

Paradise
Great people, very helpful, clean. Will definitely go back
Suzanne, 5-night trip

8/10 Very good

Decent value for the money. Beach is excellent. Clean but very basic. A coffee machine would really help as there is no sign of life until the restaurant opens later in the day.
Lisa, 7-night trip

Deck overlooking the beach.
Doug, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The security guard was very nice. The towels are small. There was a lot of noice from the restaurant downstairs
Amanda, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Christian, 5-night trip

Quiet and clean.
