This is not a bad little hotel but it is certainly not "high class." The units are well built with some nice woodwork but the mattress on the bed was HORRIBLE. The bedding was shabby and some of the towels had seen better days. The kitchen was minimally equipped. We asked for a few things (like a toaster oven and... More

The two bedroom was big and spacious. It is a short walk to the beach. The staff was nice. The price was very reasonable. I would stay there again. Some things that I would suggest for the Yam. The first day we were there the room had an overwhelming smell to it. They might have been spraying for insects? Not... More

We really enjoyed this hotel. It was a really short walk to the beach and town. A nice feature was the loft, so our "young adult" could have her own space while still where we could keep an eye on her! We all had our own rooms and a family area! The turtle tour that they suggested was awesome -... More

This hotel is clean, has a big pool and backyard, and run by beautiful people. Tamarindo can be a party town at times, and this hotel is extremely close to it all (5 min walk), but yet tucked away to have low noise.

This hotel is quite ok but nothing more. It's clean. You have your own fridge and a little kitchen if you are staying for a while. The place was a little deserted the night we stayed there and no staff to be seen anywhere made it somewhat eerie. No one around to check us out when we left either. Nice... More
