- Evgeniia (10/5): - Wonderful place! Our favorite parts were the pool area and the breakfast!! Also the staff are very friendly, kind and helpful! Highly recommend this place!
- Sylvia (6/5): Hotel ziet er netjes uit, maar als je de straat in rijdt denk je dat jenin een ghetto beland bent. Dat verdwijnt zodra j - Zwembad en bedden zagen er verzorgd uit. Kamer is echt heel klein! Als de wc deur open is kun je niet voor de spiegel staan.
- Kerstin (8/5): - Kleines Boutique Hotel im trubligem, verstaubten Tamarindo. Ruhig und trotzdem per Fuß alles gut und schnell zu erreichen. Sehr freundliches Personal. Etwas sehr kleines Zimmer, was wir ohne Probleme tauschen konnten. Durch das Erdgeschoss sehr viel Ameisen und anderes Getier. Ist eben Natur...;-).
- Peggy (10/5): Ruhig obwohl sehr zentral gelegen - Die ruhige Lage und doch Zentrums-und Strandnah.
Der Pool lädt zum Verweilen ein. Das Frühstück sehr sehr lecker und individuell und das Personal Mega freundlich. Klimaanlage hat funktioniert. Die Zimmer sehr sehr sauber. Hängematte vorm Bungalow. Nichts. Alles war top.
- Jeshua (8/5): -
- Dominik (9/5): Tolles kleines Hotel in Tamarindo - Das Hotel Arco Iris hat eine überschaubare Grösse und die Zimmer sind schön in einer Gartenanlage angeordnet. Das Frühstück ist ausgezeichnet und es gibt eine Auswahl von acht festgelgten Gerichten, welches uns jedes sehr gut geschmekt hat. Es gibt rund um die Uhr frisches und kaltes Wasser, welches am Automaten aufgefüllt werden konnte. Wir haben den Wäscheservice genutzt, welcher leider ein paar unserer Socken verloren hat. Die Reinigungskosten wurden uns offeriert, aber es war trotzdem etwas ärgerlich.
- Felicity (10/5): 10/10 we loved our stay at hotel acro iris! - Gorgeous place to stay, staff were so helpful and kind and arranged all our transfers. The room was extremely comfortable and the pool is great to relax away from town which is only a short walk away. We loved our stay! N/a
- Urs (8/5): -
- Trish (9/5): Delicious breakfasts, friendly staff, restful and rejuvenating to spend a few hours by the pool after hot days on the be - Location was super. Tucked away like an oasis but right near the main streets of Tamarindo. 5 min walk to the beach. It was all lovely.
- Laura (9/5): - Lovely hotel. Great location. Great breakfast No food options besides breakfast. The listing said there was an onsite restaurant which there was not.
- Sabine (9/5): Super Unterkunft im zu amerikanischen Tamarindo - Kaum zu glauben, dass in der sehr touristischen Stadt eine Unterkunft mit schönem Palmengarten zu finden ist! Die Zimmer, der Pool und der Garten haben uns sehr gut gefallen. Die Frühstücksauswahl war gut! Die Außendusche könnte etwas näher zum Pool sein, aber das ist nur eine Kleinigkeit
- Laura Avir (10/5): - Las instalaciones y la amabilidad del personal
- Laura (10/5): A calm, gorgeous oasis within the busy Tamarindo beach town. - Loved the location in general, pool setting with covered porch, palm trees and gardens, availability of coffee all day, AMAZING breakfast (kudos to kitchen staff), and friendly service. Nothing
- Radion (10/5): -
- Fabienne (7/5): proche de tout mais à l'écart pour la tranquillité - Nous étions dans un bungalow. Les bungalow sont très sympa avec un hamac sur la terrasse. Les bungalows étaient très propres. la piscine est un peu petite et durant notre séjour, certains vacanciers étaient un peu sans gêne quant à l'utilisation de la piscine, en buvant des bières dans l'eau et en retournant les sièges
- Robinson (10/5): A small boutique hotel with a relaxing vibe, spacious room, comfy bed, excellent staff and really good breakfast options - This gem is tucked away on a quiet street and just a short walk to all the restaurants, shops and beach in the center of town. The staff was excellent- Juan Jose was very attentive and helpful. Breakfast was delicious and made to order. The fact it was included in the room price is amazing. Our room was so spacious and the bed very comfortable. Loved the different seating areas around the pool and dining area. Inviting and relaxing.
We will be back! Not one thing!!

- Sabine (8/5): Sehr gepflegtes Haus in bester Lage - absolut empfehlenswert! - Das Hotel Arco Iris ist sehr sauber, bietet ein individuelles sehr leckeres, ausreichendes Frühstück an. Der Pool ist morgens um 7 Uhr mit herrlicher Tempartatur gründlichst gesäubert. Das haben wir sehr genossen. Die Lage ist ruhig und trotzdem sehr zentrumsnah. Die Mitarbeiter empfanden wir als etwas zurückhaltend. Hier könnte man Gäste noch besser begeistern und es würde den Aufenthalt positv abrunden. Da man beim Frühstück nur eine Sache auswählen kann, hätte man uns mit einem kleinen Obstangebot am Nachmittag z.bsp. in Form von Ostspießen am Pool begeistern können.
- Hildur (8/5): Amazing breakfast and cosy environment - The property is located just few minutes from down town. A nice walk in proximity to restaurants, beach and shops. The breakfast is amazing with awesome selection cooked to order. The pool area is cosy and everything does feel like a boutique hotel with all the small cute details. Tamarindo is said to be expensive and this hotel, a three star boutique hotel was very expensive in comparison with other options around the Guanacaste beach. We really enjoyed our stay and found the place cosy and nice but just a bit expensive.
- Mira (9/5): Pura Vida - Frühstücksauswahl, ständiger Zugriff auf gekühltes Wasser,Tee und Kaffee, freundliches Personal, Sauberkeit Bettgrösse bei 2 Personen
- Rubén Óscar (9/5): - Ubicación cómoda, cerca de restaurantes, farmacias, banco y playa. El trato del personal fue impecable. Tuvimos algunos problemas con el inodoro y la ducha. No había agua caliente.

- Gregory (8/5): We enjoyed our stay. the place was clean and well maintained. Location was good. - The place was clean and comfortable. The location was very good and the staff were excellent. Internet was a bit spotty in the room but otherwise fine.
- Delphine (10/5): Magnifique endroit détente - J'ai adoré l'endroit chaleureux avec sa belle piscine et son coin détente. Le personnel est adorable et a su nous accommoder dans plusieurs situations. Le bungalow est grand et très propre. Le déjeuner était franchement délicieux, c'est le meilleur déjeuner inclus que j'ai eu dans tout mon séjour au Costa Rica. Merci encore pour tout!
- Edgar (10/5): -
- Nazanin (8/5): Great location in heart of Tamarindo - The location is perfect. It’s close enough to everything that you don’t need to take an uber . Walk everywhere. And yet quiet enough at night that you don’t hear anything. It’s a small eccentric hotel. It’s clean, and they have amazing breakfast It’s a little basic. That’s all.
- Saurash (10/5): - Nice quiet escape that is walking distance to everything you need in Tamarindo
- Alexander (9/5): -
- Adriana Dias Barbosa (7/5): A estadia foi regular. Não condiz com a categoria hotel boutique - da cama e do ar condicionado. Instalação antiga no banheiro.
- Tobias (7/5): Gut gelegenes kleines Hotel. - Tolle Lage Frühstück - leider gab es 5 Speisen aus denen man sich jeweils nur eine auswählen kann. Da der Preis doch entsprechend hoch ist, erwartet man hier deutlich mehr.
- Belinda (10/5): Would definitely stay here again - Very cute and great location and the staff was very kind and helpful.
- Nadja (9/5): - Der Pool und das Frühstück waren exzellent sowie auch die ruhige Lage. Etwas wenig Platz im Zimmer.
- Adrián (8/5): -
- Neil (9/5): All round excellent hotel and top class for a boutique - Breakfast is mostly excellent. The Fruit and Yogurt option on the menu though is a disappointment.
Pool area is good for a boutique hotel and they make the best out of the small space available
Beds are comfortable and choice of hard and soft pillows
Staff are excellent
Excellent value at low season prices The door to the room is the biggest issue. It isn't a tight fit so bugs can come and go as they please. As it opens inwards, if there are mosquitos around, they get sucked in. The other issue is outside noise. Guests coming back at 2am and you will hear them, and there is a dog in a neighboring property that can be a bit active at night. I had plenty of good sleeps during my stay, but I got woken up a few times as well.
- Maria Johanna (9/5): -
- Caroline (9/5): Kleine Oase - Kleine Oase, etwas abseits vom Rummel gelegen.
Sehr nette Mitarbeiter:innen, tolles Frühstück, blitzsauber und gepflegte Anlage mit erfrischendem Pool.
Alles zu Fuss erreichbar. Im Vergleich zu ebenwertigen Unterkünften auf der teureren Seite.
- H.H.M. (9/5): -
- Karin (8/5): Top Bungalow - Netter kleiner Bungalow- bestes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältniss unserer gesamten Reise. Es ist alles so wie auf Booking beworben Nichts
- Jennifer (8/5): Bueno para pocas noches y mantenerse en presupuesto. - Estaba limpia y con buena ubicación.
Staff atento.
Desayuno muy completo. Camas de poca calidad
- Christoph (9/5): Tolle Unterkunft - Die Unterkunft liegt praktisch nahe dem Zentrum und bietet einen schönen Poolbereich zum Entspannen. Die Zimmer sind ansprechend und komfortabel. Das Frühstück war gut und rundet den Aufenthalt positiv ab.
- Safia (10/5): Une très belle adresse à Tamarindo ! - Chambre Confort - piscine - petit déjeuner exceptionnel - personnel disponible - ambiance calme et détendue. On reviendra ! Rien

- Nadja (9/5): - ♡ das Personal inbesondere Richard(der Hotelbesitzer) waren wirklich sehr freundlich, hilfsbereit und aufmerksam.
♡ die Anlage war wunderschön eingerichtet und in einer überschaubaren und angenehmen Größe
♡ die Lage war ideal, man war in einer ruhigen Umgebung und dennoch zentral in der Stadt (5-10 Minuten zu Fuß)
♡ das Frühstück à la carte ist immer frisch und sehr lecker zubereitet Es fehlte etwas Stauraum, besonders im Bad
- Libikoka (10/5): - Szuper szép és tiszta szálloda. A személyzet nagyon kedves, ahogy az megszokott ebben a csodás országban. A reggelink kitűnő volt a csodás hangulatos teraszon.
- Johnny (9/5): Refugio em Tamarindo - Localização e atendimento cordial
- Melanie (9/5): - Everything. We enjoyed the pool/lobby area with unlimited coffee and tea options. The staff were great and our room was pretty spacious. Breakfast options were pretty good. Location is great as well, well tucked in but close enough (3 mins walk) to the main strip. We are early birds family so I wish the breakfast could start a little bit earlier (more of a suggestion than a complain).

- Lindsay (8/5): Great spot - I loved the location of the property, the breakfast, and the fact they had filtered water for the guests. The shower in the room was also nice! I also appreciated the parking. Our room felt a little dingy. The walls had scuff marks on them which brought down the overall feel. Otherwise, no complaints.
