I was generally pleased with quality of the hotel. It was comfortable, close to the beach and had amazing views of the ocean. However, I would advise anyone staying here to keep a close eye your bill; I feel they were very dishonest with mine. They tried to pull a classic bait and switch on my room rate. At checkout,... more

I stayed at this hotel early Feb this year. The hotel is situated shortly as you enter the town from the airport, which means if you want to go into town it is a 10 minute walk. A quiet location and good views from the pool or sea-side rooms of the hotel. A small pool with pool bar and restaurant... more

We stayed in the Corona suite over looking Playa Grande. The hotel is clean, it could use a face lift, but we always had fresh towels and I felt safe there. The staff was exceptionally nice and helpful. The restaraunt food was above average bar food, and the drinks were as cheap any where else in town. Many people we... more

I've read a lot of reviews on a lot of different hotels and the thing that people seem to always forget is that "you are in a different country".

Everyone on the staff was delightful. Our housekeeper worked very hard everyday to make sure that our room was clean, the front desk staff was great with helping us... more

We just returned from Costa Rica, A beatiful country. We were surprised at all the changes from our last visit. Tamarindo is crazy busy! Constuction! We traveled as a surfing family- ages 21/2,15,22, & 40's. Best Western Tamarindo is just o.k. Do not think the breakfast included is any deal. Boxed american cereal, luke warm milk, and cut up fruit.... more

My boyfriend and were traveling through costa rica and decided to splurg and stay somewhere nice for the last stint of our trip. The rooms here go for about $115 a night, which is alot for costa rica. We walked in and the room and it smelled of mold, was dirty and the air conditioning was broken. We had to... more
