Guest Reviews
- Milady (10/5): Felicidad,tranquilidad, vida 💛 - Todo fue genial, la pasamos muy bien
- Georg (9/5): Insgesamt gut und preiswert - Super Lage direkt am Strand , sauber und schön eingerichtet, Kein Schrank oder zumindest Bügel zum Kleid aufhängen
- Maria (8/5): - Back yard the 🏖️ beach No frig no coffee maker, no cups,
- Padilla (8/5): - La ubicación es muy buena. Los insectos.
- Luis Marco (10/5): -
- Elenita (10/5): Espectacular - Absolutamente todo Todo divino
- LUIS (9/5): -
- Luis (10/5): - Ubicación Desayuno
- Marlon (9/5): - Cercanía Playa - Buen desayuno Cocina cerca a la habitación
- Saymond (9/5): Excelente ubicación, literalmente frente a la playa. - Excelente ubicación, buen desayuno Se filtra mucho ruido del exterior, no tiene parqueo para los huéspedes
- Jonattan (5/5): Great location and very clean, but let down by poor security and terrible service. - Location is perfect, and the place is really cute and clean overall. I had a disappointing stay due to poor management and security concerns. The Wi-Fi was unreliable, and I felt uneasy after losing a pair of sunglasses in what felt like an unmonitored environment. There was a constant flow of non-guests coming and going, and I even witnessed a waiter tampering with the security cameras because the reception was often unattended for hours. The service at the restaurant was equally poor; despite having plenty of staff on duty, part of my order was completely ignored.
- Susanne (5/5): -
- Michael Peter (9/5): - Sperrfrist am Strand. 50m entfernt gibt es Surfbretter. Man kann also mit wenig Aufwand direkt auf die Wellen. Aussicht auf den Strand während dem Essen. Die Zimmer wurden nicht geputzt, was ja nicht so tragisch ist, aber wenigstens den Abfall leeren, da ja das ganze Toilettenpapier dort drin ist...
- Martine (1/5): -
- Niklas (9/5): -
- Monica (8/5): Edredón con 34 grados!! - Cercanía a la playa Desayuno.
Poner edredón con 34 grados...estamos locos?
- Maria Lis (7/5): -
- Corinna Steiner (8/5): -
- Kristin (8/5): - Amazing location and view from the balcony. The breakfast was delicious and you get to eat it right on the beach.
- Jackeline (9/5): Comodo, practico para ir directo a la playa. - El desayuno estuvo bien, el wifi funcionaba bien, la ubicacion frente al mar es super practica. Agregaria un tacho de basura en la habitacion y un poco mas de iluminacion, ya que no tenia ventanas. En el baño no habia buena ventilacion.
- Oriana (5/5): Passed years were better, this year they really decreased quality. - good location, right at the beach Rooms had cockroaches, that kept on coming and the shower drain filled the room with an ugly smell. Furthermore we had a room with no windows and the floor was full of sand even after cleaning.
- Patricia (8/5): -
- Reginaldo (8/5): Recomendo para que gosta de praia e vida noturna - A vista é muito boa. Proximidade da praia Não tinha estacionamento e quarto sem cortina. Muito claro. Não tinha frigobar.
- Daniela (7/5): Muy bien bonita. Excelente ubicación pero sin Parqueo lo malo - Cerca del mar La bulla de la discoteca no deja dormir
- Nora (10/5): -
- Elaine (10/5): Tip top - Super schönes Hotel tolle Lage Die Lage, das Personal
- Ulloa Laínez (9/5): Oportunidades de Mejora - La ubicación frente al mar, el lugar es acogedor y confortable. El personal es amable y atento, pendiente de atender las necesidades de los/as clientes. Casa Aura ha hecho que Tamarindo se convierta en nuestro lugar favorito. Gracias! Ya queremos volver. En los apartamentos es necesario reforzar el equipamiento por ejemplo, contar con coffee maker y/o chorreador para café. Arrocera, licuadora o sartén eléctrico, los cubiertos no son suficientes. Podrían hacer mayor descuento en el restaurante Agua Salada.
- Katja (3/5): Nicht empfehlenswert - Die Lage ist gut, direkt am Strand. Es war leider sehr laut, an unserem Fenster standen Mülltonnen, wodurch die Klappe immer wieder gegen die Scheiben gestoßen wurden.
Abends ist es sehr laut, einmal war eine unangekündigte Hochzeit direkt vor unserem Zimmer.
Insgesamt kann man es dort aushalten, mehr ist es aber auch nicht. Preis-Leistung stimmt dabei nicht so

- Buffiere de Lair (7/5): Great location, really loud place. - Great location, situated at the end of the beach so there is less people. It is well decorated. I needed a quiet place in the morning, the staff didn’t put the music on, thanks to them. It was really loud, even if music stops at 10pm, it is loud all day, we had a room in the common area, in front of the breakfast, next to the restaurant, with the glass trash cans just in front of our windows.
Walls are super thin, we got waken up few times during the night. Bathrooms are opened on the ones of the neighbors, which means we hear everything when they are in the bathroom. And the two of us couldn’t have dinner at the hotel even if there were tables available, we didn’t really understand why.
- Véronique (10/5): -
- Aaron (8/5): Nice hostel on the beach - Location was right on the beach, between a couple restaurants, with a pool table, swings, breakfast. We had a private family room. There was noise and light from the street and sidewalk at night.
- Pablo (10/5): -
- Lone Star Rambler (10/5): -
- Michelle (7/5): -
- Viola Martha (5/5): - situated close to the beach , I liked the restaurant close to the Hostal a lot.
I liked the employees lots of noise all day long!
good for youngsters, but not.for.best agers!
music is always the same bang, bang nothing different, very bad for my nervs
- Michelle (10/5): My favorite place to stay in Costa Rica—peaceful, beachfront, and with amazing staff. 🇨🇷 - I really loved this place. The location is perfect—right in front of the beach and very peaceful. There is also a pharmacy next door, which is very convenient. The restaurant is very good, the breakfast was excellent, and the staff are extremely kind and helpful. This is actually my favorite place to stay in Costa Rica. It’s my fifth time choosing this place! Nothing. Everything was great and I always enjoy staying here.
- David (10/5): Staff were amazing and position perfect - The position ,facilities were great and breakfast included made it for your start to the day The noise from the other people staying there no sound proofing at all could people above going at it all night long 👎🏾
- Yi (7/5): - Location was amazing right by the beach. Pretty solid nothing outstanding but nothing special to complain about either. Free breakfast was a nice touch and good security.
- planchke (9/5): - L'endroit est magique
Sortie organisée par l'hôtel pour kes tortues , top
Le restaurant à côté de l'hôtel
- Mayra (5/5): - La ubicación del lugar es buena y su personal está bien. El aire acondicionado de la habitación no funcionaba bien por lo que moríamos de calor eso hizo que nuestra estancia no fuera lo que esperábamos. Pusimos la queja pero la respuesta fue que esa habitación era caliente por la ubicación
- THOMAS (10/5): I’m a repeat offender/guest for all the right reasons - Everything Can be a little pricey depending on the season
- April (8/5): Great beachfront location - The location on the beach and landscaping were really nice. The air conditioned room was a welcome escape from the heat. The room itself was too small. No place to hang clothes or put suitcases.
- Christiane (8/5): Bon rapport qualité / prix - Le personnel très aidant, beau site en face de la mer. Bruyant la nuit car près de la rue et des bars avec musique forte.
- Dennis (10/5): - SIEMPRE LA UBICACION, Y LA ATENCION... Falta una mesita pequeña en la habitacion o algo para poner la ropa..
- Kelsey (10/5): - We had a great stay! The room was spacious and clean, and had a balcony overlooking the beach. The location was right on the beach, and it’s only a short 5–10 minute walk to the shopping area. The staff were very nice and helpful, a big shoutout to Natasha and John. Would definitely stay here again!
- Alfred (10/5): - Great room great location great price
- Moritz (8/5): -
- Marce (4/5): -
- Marvin Soto Madrigal (10/5): -
- Fam (9/5): -
- Ioana (9/5): It was a great place to stay, very relaxing. - Very small, cute place, right on the beach with great view from the common area, under big trees full of birds and ocean view; basic amenities, but very comfortable and clean, next to a nice restaurant; the breakfast was simple, but good; the place was good value for money overall. It had to be paid in cash, but the change was only offered in CRC, which made it inconvenient. The rooms are very close to each other and to the common area, and the place entrance is on the main road, near a bar, so there was some noise on the weekend, for light sleepers; however, I always travel with ear plugs, so it was fine.
- pedro ivan (7/5): - Su ubicación Falta de interés por resolver alguno de los problemas que se plantean por parte de algún personal
- Estefania (10/5): - La ubicación es perfecta. No tengo nada negativo que decir
- Éric (10/5): -
- mariana (7/5): - is beautiful and in front of the beach the had a lot of noise do to repairs to the roof
- Jasmyn (10/5): -
- Laura (10/5): Volveremos - El sitio es un sueño en tamarindo,la habitacion espaciosa y camas maravillosas ,nos hicieron sentir como.en casa ,la playa en frente increible
Desayuno con iguanas y las chicas que te preparan el desayuno super agradables Nada
- Michelle (10/5): -
- Macarena (1/5): no se podia pegar ojo del ruido de la musica - estaba al lado de una discoteca y no se podia dormir. ademas el reataurante carisimo, pero nivel de un hotel de 5 estrellas, una tomadura de pelo cerca de la playa
- Paijmaan (5/5): -
- Gianluca (10/5): FANTASTICO - Cortesia del personale, posizione, colazione, vista mare
- Andoni (9/5): -
- Derek (10/5): - Loved located right on the beach. You can rent board and surfing lessons as soon as you walk on the beach. Volleyball and local outdoor gym right here. The hotel has an awesome vibe and outdoor seating under a giant tree is perfect. Breakfast was very nice. I love that it is convenient and away from the hustle and bustle of the town. My son surf from dawn to dusk here. We had massages on the beach!! Great stay. Loved the outdoor seating and hammock on our private balcony!!!
- Rocio Monica (10/5): - El lugar esta sobre la arena..a unos pasos del.mar. Muy limpio y prolijo teniendo en cuenta que esta al lado de la playa. La cocona compartida en la plata baja muy linda y completa. Buenas camas y hay disponibles toallones para la habitacion y para la playa. Excelente.
- Kristy (10/5): Exceptional -
- Anonymous (8/5): perfect place to chill, lovely beach access, overall nice place and staff. - homestyle Costa Rican breakfast was really great. i got there early and the staff were so warm and friendly until check in. i didn't mind it, but you can hear poundey bass from restaurant attached, on some nights.
the iguana in courtyard has bit of an attitude.
- Kaitlyn (9/5): Superb -
- Baxter (8/5): Very good - The location is amazing, right on the beach. Beds were comfy and clean. Had all the basic amenities, towels, shampoo/conditioner/bodywash. View from the balcony was beautiful. Breakfast is simple but good. Water was just warm in the double queen room, no hot water. I asked the staff if that was normal and they offered to let us shower in another room which was nice and the water was hot but not practical. Also it’s very noisy. Make sure to bring ear plugs for the traffic and restaurant noise.
- Virginia (7/5): It could be a really nice place but it isn’t - Location Very noisy, thin walls. Breakfasts was pretty bad and the people working really didn’t what you to fell attended.
- André (7/5): Great option for a short stay (1/2 nights max) - Hotel room exceeded expectations. Room and bathroom were clean and in good condition. Beds/bedding were good quality, AC in the room, wifi worked well. Complimentary breakfast is simple but highly appreciated. Location in front of the beach is nice although Tamarindo beach is not the nicest. Morning staff was very friendly. At night they had a guy working surveillance on the property- felt safe. Parking in front of the property is good. Water pressure in our shower was non existent. Couldn’t shower properly during our stay. Noise was a big issue too. We had problem with loud music and loud talking- a paper wall would cancel more noise than what they have right now. We could hear absolutely everything that was going on in the adjacent room. Staff was friendly as mentioned but pretty inconsiderate of noice level talking around the hotel early in the morning.
- Charles (10/5): Exceptional - Location and staff Close to the road but not too loud
- Van (10/5): amazing - location, beach nearby, free breakfast... very good! the wifi kinda sucked, breakfast only went to 10am
- Assaf (10/5): Exceptional - The ONLY thing is that the music from the restaurant next door has their music on till 10, if you’re someone who’s sensitive to that kinda thing.
I loved this place though would’ve stayed so much longer. So clean and pretty and right on the beach. Great experience there. 10/10
- Victoria (8/5): Very good - Directly at the beach, included breakfast buffet which is appreciated. Our roll was directly in the lobby so it was very loud during the night as people stayed there and hung out. Also loud music playing during the night :/
- Sanae (8/5): Be aware of the loud music. Other than that, great! - 1. Very close to the beach
2. Clean rooms (we stayed at the apartment)
3. Good breakfast
4. Staff is very friendly 1. Loud music from the bar below the apartment and near by bars.
- Gianni (10/5): Exceptional -
- Mendel (7/5): Good -
- Devyn (9/5): Fantastic place to stay right on the beach! - The location of this property is truly unbeatable. Just steps away from the most beautiful beach in Tamarindo and only a short walk away into the "downtown" core. Plenty of shops, cafes, and restaurants nearby. The breakfast is simple but delicious and easily accessible on tired mornings.
- Chiara (8/5): Amazing location on the beach. - Amazing location, just on the beach, with parking available in front. Waking up with the sea view is the best. The hotel has also a great surf instructor, Rashid. The staff was very friendly.
The bathroom of the dormitory may need cleaning a bit more often during the day and, given the price, they should provide towels too. the breakfast could also be improved. Overall it was a great experience.
- Porter (6/5): Pleasant -
- Samira85 (9/5): Superb - The breakfast was great, the staff really friendly and helped us with all the questions we had, the common space was nicely furnished and great for relaxing, everything was really clean, the location right at the beach The room could have been a bit more spacious
- Jonza (7/5): Good - Nice place to stay. Liked that was near the beach and the city. Also had nice public facilities. Other facilities ok. Not much to complain. Dorm made for a lot of people; also not many places to charge phone. Price a bit higher than many similar places in my opinion.
- Lina (10/5): Great stay would repeat - beach front always a plus, breakfast is good, fresh. Location is perfect loud music
- Tatsiana (10/5): Abdolutely awesome - Location Nothing
- Oukhouia (9/5): Superb -
- Mackenzie (9/5): Beautiful, clean and great location! Would recommend! - Loved the location, cleanliness, parking accessible and great continental breakfast. Nothing!
- Alexander (1/5): It’s a shame that the noise levels and the horrendous corporate party occurred as the room and the location were nice. - Location at the end of town on the beach was great With no warning, they had booked a corporate party which took over the whole communal area of the hostel. It was insanely loud, well above safe limits when measuring decibels. Our bed was shaking. This was scheduled until 01:30am on the Saturday. The staff I spoke to at the time wasn’t helpful at all and obviously nothing could be done about it, but obviously it was awful having that onsite. We absolutely would not have stayed there if we knew this was happening. It’s a small location, so if there’s a party happening then it will affect the whole building. They advertise that they may have events on, but they also advertise that quiet time is from 22:00, which is why my partner and I got back to the hostel at 22;00 that evening to find the party and sound system still raging on. The hostel has not replied to our message for comment.
In general, the walls are paper thin so noise from guests, staff and the road were disturbing us each night. My partner and I had to wear our earplugs and eye masks to try and get some sleep.
I have attached an image of a decibel reader that says the volume recorded inside my room was that of an automobile.
- Darren (10/5): Exceptional -
- Summer (10/5): Would Highly recommend, book ahead and even more amazing prices. Will be back.!! - Amazing place! Premium hostel! Very clean and comfortable beds sheets and pillows. Something I was abit worried about with staying in a hostel. The breakfast is made fresh and authentically! you can see the whole beach and ocean almost left to right looking out the deck off the hostel dormitory. I could sit in bed if I wanted and look at the incredible view! Close to everything!☀️❤️☀️❤️❤️ Could have a mirror and another garbage can in the dorm…but it was absolutely beautiful.
- Paul (3/5): Poor - I stayed in the dorm a couple of years ago and it was fine. This time I got a private room and the music played into the night and it was so loud it felt like it was in the room.
- Andres (7/5): Good - Playa La recepcion
- Tommy (10/5): Excellenta - Right on the beach.
- Mauricio (9/5): Great place to stay in Tamarindo without paying high prices - Beachfront, close to everything, very clean, good breakfast included, excellent service. The small details that made it loose a point where: sofa bed needs to be reupholstered; a coffee maker in the room would be very nice; some of the kitchen utensils need to be renewed.
- John (1/5): I have nothing good to say - Literally nothing. Cash-only is weird and inconvenient. It's on the edge of town and possible to be a peaceful beachfront escape but instead they blast club music on their big thumping speakers over all the public spaces and of course right into the rooms day and night. All rooms are against the main street and additionally noisy with no soundproofing whatsoever. Trucks, motorcycles and the thumping Monkey Bar shaking the walls until 4 AM. Internet is very bad. The staff seems indifferent or unthrilled all the time. They make you wear an amusement park or music festival style plastic bracelet, again awkward and classless. Breakfast is pathetic, similar to a low-end US motel, a tray of plain scrambled eggs, some fruit and white toast. There is no water available with breakfast. You read that right, no water. I hate this place passionately. It used to be cool years ago before all the poor choices ruined it. It's a 2-star hotel for a reason. It's not a hotel, hostel or B&B, it's a night club. Not only have I never stayed in a worse plce, I can't even imagine a worse place to stay. Nightmare.
- Lesly (6/5): Pleasant -
- Jose (9/5): Great place to stay in tamarindo, nice rooms , good breakfast, good prices and cool installations - The installations, the room, the breakfast and the location nearby the beach The noise from the discotheque nearby
- Zsófia (8/5): Very good -
