This was one of the most lovely, gracious, welcoming and comfortable places I've ever stayed. The architecture is gorgeous. It's a close walk to downtown and the beach but is quiet at night. Enjoyed the included drinks by the pool and slept so well! The included breakfast was great too. Would stay again any time!

The room was as advertized - clean, if somewhat plain. Breakfasts were included, and were fine, if not inspired. Reception is one person, who is there during daytime hours. Overall, a nice place to stay, but definitely not a luxury resort.

Staff was super friendly. Place was close enough to town and all of the happenings but far enough to stay quieter at night. Room was clean and cozy.

We think a cooked to order breakfast is a great way to start the day! Then ten minutes to the beach until lunchtime and the day’s heat sent us back to the hotel pool to cool off and read with a cold beverage. Easy walk downtown for dinner and a comfy cool bed to return to.

Wonderful hotel with amazing breakfast.

We stayed in three different hotels in Costa Rica for this week-long trip and this was by far the best. Though the rooms were a bit more expensive than the others, this was justified by the amenities. Rooms were nice, water was hot. And the breakfast, which is included, was a full made-to-order breakfast that would make any restaurant proud. Juan Carlos made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. Would recommend.

The Arco Iris is a charming hotel with helpful and friendly staff. The breakfast included was cooked to order and always delicious. The fresh juice and coffee were great. The pool and surrounding lounging area was very quiet and comfortable. In all, this hotel is a wonderful place to stay and a good value while visiting Tamarindo.

Very nice hotel, central but far enough from the bars and clubs, which ensures a very quiet environment, especially at night, which is great. One minor recommendation would be to reinforce the fumigation. In my bungalow, there were quite a few small ants (mainly in the bathroom, but I found a couple in the bed) and a few “zompopas”.

Quaint spot close to town

Lovely spot to stay near town, but quiet. Staff and food was excellent. Nothing super fancy, but nothing wrong either. Would recommend.

Peaceful retreat close to the beach

We loved our stay ! The property is small and very peaceful, tucked into the jungle a bit away from the downtown - but still only a short walk to the beach. We loved the pool and daily breakfast. Would definitely stay again.

Staff was extremely kind, room and properly were great. Steven was an excellent server at the restaurant, remembering the guests names and being very helpful. Henry was also a great help in assisting securing a shuttle to the airport. Friendly people and a beautiful property. I’d highly suggest staying here!

Superbly located nice little hotel

Well located small and very nice hotel in Tamarindo. Nice pool and clean rooms in the center of the action. Literally 5 minutes to the beach and 2 minutes from the main street and the restaurants. We will certainly go back.
