The staff was extremely friendly staff and the rooms very comfortable rooms (albeit a bit older). Importantly for me, the A/C worked perfectly.

Cons: We only ate breakfast at the hotel (included in the room rate). While it was certainly good, the quantities in my (European) view were a bit on the low side. There is no buffet, and anything extra that is not included in the "basic" plate comes as a supplement, which we found a little bit of a let down.

Pros: Beautiful beach views. Comfortable room with view of beach Excellent food and service. Everything on menu delicious.

Cons: Nothing

Cons: In apartment 13 the mattress needs to be replaced immediately, one side is completely broken, the bed creaks so much each time you turn. The air conditioning is noisy, it could be refreshed.

Pros: Great hotel, very simple and quite well equipped with air con in the bedroom. Lovely pool areas and places to relax, very close to the bed and in a great area. Was really pleased and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Daily cleaning was much appreciated.

Cons: The check-in was a little odd, as we were given a list of items in the room and shown the quantities of everything, so I felt a little like a child, though I do understand why they do so.

Pros: We got what the app said, the breakfasts were fine

Cons: They should check the beds and their mattresses, the one in the cabin was felt the springs and the double super soft and it sank in the center. My mom and I ended up with a lot of back pain

Cons: No breakfast. no staff around

Cons: No extra amenities such as a coffee pot, small community refrigerator or Breakfast. Beds are pretty firm. Definitely need some form of transportation but a small store was within walking distance.

Pros: There is a very nice place. Good pool. Good parking. The accommodation was good. The staff turned on the air conditioner before our arrival, so once we got there the room was cold. It made all the difference! :)

Cons: The only thing that I didn't like much was the spring mattress. I prefer a mattress with a pillowtop because it is more comfortable for my back.

Cons: No breakfast Not too many sunbeds near to the pool Initial room cleaning was not great Personnel does not speak English Might be a bit expensive for what it is, but ok

Pros: The property consists of just 4 rooms and a nice little swimming pool. The hosts were super friendly and helpful. Communication up front and during the stay was very clear. The room had a very large and comfortable bed. Breakfast out in the garden was good. Fresh fruits, home made bread and jam and pancakes. Together with a glass of fresh tropical juice and a good cop of coffee, the breakfast was good and enough. Go have some nice brewed beers at Cervecería Independiente, which is close by the accommodation!

Pros: They saved us after a dreadful experience with our previous hotel. Homemade breakfast, amazing vibe, quiet and very safe.

Cons: We only stayed two nights

Pros: The attention to detail in the room upon arrival. Quick responses from hosts. Always available with info in person or by messaging. Breakfast was delicious with fresh fruit and juice and selection of entree every morning different choices. Pool is very clean and there are plenty of chairs. It is a quiet spot but close to the beach and plenty of restaurants nearby. Wifi worked really well. Thank you Christelle and Chan for the hospitality we loved staying at your place. It's beautiful.

Cons: Everything was great.

Pros: Super friendly owners, super clean, amazing breakfast, nice village and good facilities!

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Amazing hosts, perfect breakfast, within a stones throw of town and 5 minutes from the beach. Would highly recommend staying here.

Pros: Very clean, the owner was just lovely and very friendly. Our breakfast in the garden was fantastic.

Pros: Great location, clean, good shower, comfortable beds. Restaurant opens at 4pm and was fine for dinner, snacks and drinks. Beach two minutes walk and almost private considering how few people were there. A number of restaurants, bars, markets within a few minutes walk.

Cons: As the restaurant is closed on Mondays it seems the staff forgot they also had guests in the cabinas that day. Another guest called management to come turn on the pool lighting which they did promptly. Management could also have informed us that bus service was not available due to bridge construction nearby.

Pros: Big thanks to Daniel who drive us to airport. Very difficult to find transport to airport. We are so grateful.

Pros: Fat Daddy himself was extremely friendly and welcoming-who we met near the end of our stay. Food at restaurant located on the property was delicious. Having the option to eat at the little private table outside our room was a nice touch. AC worked well.

Cons: Odd check-in. Access gate was not obvious and staff didn't respond to our requests to be let in. Daniel (manager) was not friendly, seemed annoyed that we were checking in and didn't provide any info other than where our room was located. Internet did not work for the entire duration of our stay, which was two nights. Rooms looked a lot nicer in pictures: Cleanliness could be improved (lots of cobwebs and dust), sheets were torn and discoloured, room was in minor disrepair (holes in wall at TP dispenser). For $100USD per night our expectations were not met. Rooms weren't cleaned or tidied at all during our stay. Only the maintenance person is on site during the day and at times no one can be found for assistance.

Pros: The staff was very courteous and helpful, and the food at Fat Daddy's is very good. The location is very handy as there is a Market across the street. The French bakery above the market has good coffee and croissants that should be illegal!! (They are so good!)

Cons: We were across the street from the venue but could not find it as the name changed several months ago to Fat Daddy's...a little help from asking the locals sorted us out quickly though.

Pros: Beautiful place, all equipments, close to the beach ! A little oasis!

Pros: Nothing

Cons: Everything. A lot of the things on the add for this room does not exist or comply. There was no safe, no fridge, no breakfast, the pool was dirty, no office to check in-the guy who was st the restaurant greet us but was not pleasant and didn’t know that we were arriving. The WiFi was only at the restaurant, they only had 3 rooms and the WiFi can’t even reach yo our room. The rooms looks like it was a guest house or workers room before that they decided to make money of off. There was no effort to this place, our sheets had whole in them and stain, same with the towels-it look like yellow stains from being so old and over used. It is over price for what is and location

Pros: Las Catalinas is a prety nice Place direct at the Pacific coast. Good to relax after all the sights you can experience in Costa Rica.

Cons: The supermarket at the site is slightly more expensive than the one in the area.

Pros: Everything else was ok

Cons: The beach in front of the hotel is horrible and the fact that they charge extra for wifi is ridiculous

Pros: Carlos in Kyoto made our stay more acceptable. The only emplyee who cares

Cons: Advertisement, website and what hotel advertoses is all aie. Room is dirty, outdated. Beach is dirty and not for a swim. Food lucks variety. Only person was nice Carlos in Kyoto. Reservation in all inclusive for a la carte once per three days No drinks. Bar is open limited hours. Flies manifistation over open air food is recepie for disaster... We had no towels and no amedities when we checked in 2 star at best

Pros: We knew from reading all the previous reviews what we were getting in to. We were surprised by the quality of the food and the cleanliness of the grounds and pool. We never had to wait in line for food but at the pool bar there was an occasional five minute wait. The beaches are worth everything else and are some of the best in the world. This was why we came here and we weren't disappointed. Having a hot Salsa band at the pool every afternoon was a bonus!

Cons: The front desk staff was quite nasty and proved that they were unhappy employees every time we interacted with them. The food workers were just super as was everyone else.

Pros: I thought it brilliant and the all inclusive approach worked well

Cons: Paying separately for internet didn't really make sense

Pros: The pool was really great as was the view from the room

Cons: They do not know how to properly clean. We had dirty sneakers, empty soda bottles amongst other issues when we checked into room. There is not a lot of choices w drinks and they are poorly made. There is no WiFi that works outside the main area

Pros: The resort was very good and the staff was very friendly. Wide variety of food, cocktails and entertainment from the property. The beach next to the hotel was also nice to swim and see the sunset. Last the hotel is full of animals like sloths or monkeys which makes it feel you are in the wild.

Cons: The internet connection is something you need to pay and is working only on some limited areas and not in the room. Completely unacceptable for a resort. The rooms have no sound proof you can hear people chatting from other floors.

Pros: The pool and beach were nice. The buffet restaurant was good with a lot of selection. The Japanese ala carte was good. The grounds were pretty.

Cons: Definitely not a 5 star. The entrance is very underwhelming...first sign it was not a 5 star. Our room in building 4 was falling apart. The door handle fell off every time. The patio doors were sun beat and were all milky. The bathroom needs a major reno. That being said it appeared the hotel has renovated some rooms unfortunatly we didn't get one of those. Luckily we got a good deal or we would've been choked. Wifi isn't great.

Pros: Nice location, altough you can’t swim at the beach due to rocks. Bed was good. The food and buffet actually was quite good.

Cons: A lot of mold in the bathroom, dirty toilet, balcony door seems also quite damaged. Definitely NOT 5*quality. In general, the room seems poorly cleaned.

Pros: The staff were excellent. The number of beach chairs and available shade was great. The location. Ease of booking tours and taxis. The pool was perfect temp.

Cons: No free wifi and the paid wifi was poor. One bar. No wait staff around the pool. No pool bar. Housekeeping was surprisingly poor. They didn’t give us coffee we had to ask often. Towels weren’t replaced sometimes and our dispensers were empty until the last day. There was no food past 10pm. Dinner didn’t start until 7pm. Breakfast didn’t start until 7am but most tours were before 7am. The buffet was very small. Like 8 dishes almost the same every single day. It’s like they were under-staffed and just not set up properly.

Pros: Everything! Room, restaurant, fauna, view. The customer service was exceptional! We will definitely come back!

Pros: Quietly located. Very clean property. Staff and food was great.

Cons: My family and I are beach people and the beach wasn’t great at all.

Pros: Beautiful views on the coast, the facility was wonderful and had great service. Rooms were large enough for four of us to share for a week.

Cons: The resort is far from just about everything else. It's a 15 minute ride to the nearest town and $7 per person each way for a shuttle. All the adventures are at least a 2 hour bus ride, or more.

Cons: There were no lounges /umbrellas on the beach

Pros: The room was clean, bed comfortable and the view towards the pool and ocean was amazing. All hotel staff were very attentive and courteous. Starting upon arrival with the bellhop (Rodney), reservation desk, concierge desk (Karol who helped us with the restaurant reservations and printing boarding passes), restaurants staff members (Kimberly, Karen, Kerling, Meriz, Edward, Gerald, Roy Campos and Esteban Campos) of the various resturants (Sabanero Steakhouse, Tamarine, Azul Pool Grill and Mansita) and housekeeping (Leidy who kept our room immaculate and surprised us every day with a different animal made of towels).

Cons: Unfortunately, it is very isolated but it is great if you are looking for peace and quiet. The hour and ten minutes from the airport is a bit tiresome ride and most of the tour destinations are also a few hours away. Other than the location, it's a beautiful and first class hotel.

Pros: Everything about the resort. Beautifully laid out. Everything under one roof. Costa Rican people are so friendly and kind. They are so hospitable. They make it so you want to come back again. The weather is so perfect. We loved it and plan on returning next year.

Pros: Atmosphere extremely peaceful; service uniformly extremely professional as well as warm and friendly; quality of the food and cooking both exceptional; excellent yoga teacher (Adrianna); uniform high quality of service across the resort; unique and precious peaceful and natural environment.

Cons: Also exceptional fruit juices were available at each of the restaurants, I would have appreciated a fruit juices and bowls bar by the pool or in the lobby. While the resort has an outstanding yoga teacher(Adrianna), there is not a yoga studio in the resort (yoga classes on the grass facing the ocean), which is very nice, but surprising compared to the amenities of other resorts in the area featuring beautiful outdoor yoga studios, and regarding the exceptional setting and luxury of the resort as well as the space availability .

Pros: The food, the staff, the bar, the decorations was fantastic. The view from the room spectacular.

Pros: Swimming pool superb

Cons: Nothing

Pros: The grounds were amazing. View of sunsets are perfect.

Cons: Terrible overpriced food. Staff seemed cranky.

Cons: Grass at the pool and between bongalows has to be renewed

Pros: There are so many hidden spots- just amazing. All these different restaurants keep your stay interesting as well. We also booked surfing lessons through “Swiss travel”, whom are located in the hotel, and it was such a great experience too.

Cons: It is quite huge...so it’s easer to just call for pick up and transportation insteas of walking around. Be aware that the beach is not provat and there are no chairs available.

Pros: We stayed at the adult only Royal Beach Club Tower. Loved having the option for the adult only pool and restaurant that only guests in the RBC could have access to. We had our own concierge, business center, special snacks at a private lounge each night. The staff knew our names and treated us like royalty. They were fantastic. Very well run resort. This was a great time of year to go. There were only a few guests on the property. It did rain a little each day at about 2, but it always cleared back up for the sunset. Got some GREAT deals on excursions through Eric just inside the beach entrance. He is a local who has been doing this for 20 years. He is not associated with the hotel. Prices were negotiable. Favorite restaurant was the French (Tuna Tartar!). Exellent presentation and service. Delicious! We will definitely go back.

Pros: food

Cons: they dont give me the room ( Jr.premium Suite . one bed room ) what i booked for and one hour at check in process. i will review on TripAdvisor , when i get back to States. royal beach club swimming pool is under renovation and they try to said they are up grading me. i dont buy it. bz i travel all over the world. if hotels keep doing that , Airbnb will take over the world.

Pros: It is a beautiful place, very big and with many things to do around. Italian and sea food restaurants are INCREDIBLE. They gave us an upgrade to royal because we were on our honeymoon. Great value for the price. Worth every penny.

Cons: Sometimes people from the service were cleaning the rooms, and it was too noisy. There was a group of 150 tourists, and as nationals we felt a little “excluded” due to all the attention driven to them in terms or service.

Pros: The grounds are beautiful and the ambiance is one of total relaxation. Staff is exceptionally friendly and helpful. The buffet is amazing.

Cons: Room service was poor.

Pros: Great location. Friendly staff. Prompt to respond to requests. Exceptionally good food- surprise: buffet food was actually better than restaurants options. Lots of fun excursions and activities. VERY CLEAN BEACH! Night time shows were fun and good quality. Beds were clean and very comfortable.

Cons: Near impossible to make restaurants reservation. Rooms would need more thorough cleaning and generally need updating. No privacy - all bathroom doors are see-through!

Pros: We spend new year’s eve in Conchal, pretty nice place very good ambient very family style and we also enjoy the pool a lot, Francisco Jara pool bar bartender was really nice and the coctels were fabulous! Thanks Francisco!

Pros: Great location. Comfortable beds. Great view of the beach. Nice pools.

Cons: The room furniture is strange. There was no dresser in the room for our clothes. We lived out of the suitcase for the a week. No chair in the room to sit on. The sliding door to our balcony wouldn't shut or lock properly.

Pros: Beautiful place in the center of all the tourism.

Cons: Everything at the hotel was great.

Pros: The food was wonderful . The staff very friendly. Beautiful location

Cons: Not much to complain about... the property is beautiful and the staff is very accommodating...

Pros: Location is good as it is directly on the beach.

Cons: From the moment we checked in the staff was rude and unhelpful. After talking to the employees, I learned the hotel has a high staff turnover and most of the staff seemed to be untrained. Checkin attendant was rude and did not offer to set me up with a house account which I later discovered I needed to conveniently make purchases. The concierge service were a joke. Extremely unhelpful and acted like I was inconveniencing them when I ask them to arrange for ground transportation from Tamarindo to another beach. The rooms were old and run down and smelled of mildew. There was construction to the staircase outside of my room which began every morning at 7am. The rooms were not clean and the sink did not have an operating drain. Also, house keeping did not replenish small toiletries or coffee/tea on a daily basis. The beach are is OK, but they have one waitress for the entire garden area so it took over an hour to get and pay for one drink. She was sweet, but also had only been on the job for 2 days and was extremely slow as she was new! The beach are has old plastic lawn chairs. Not updated. No chairs for use on the beach without paying a beach hustler $25+. All-day-along you have drug dealers walking up and down the beach asking you to buy hard drugs. The crowd seemed a bit rough! When you were not being bothered by a drug dealer or Simone hustling Chinese gift wares, you were being asked if you want to buy sex. The nightclub down the street from my ocean front room went until 3am and the music was so loud you could not sleep. Perhaps my expectations are high as I travel a lot, but this hotel was a 2 star charging 4 star Cost Rica pricing and I left feeling ripped off. I will not visit this hotel again and strongly advise downgrading their rating.

Pros: This is a 300 dollar a night hotel. No water stations to fill water bottles in a very eco conscious country. AC did not work well. Sliding glass door came off rails. This aren’t big things but when you can get these basics at a cheaper hotel why upgrade?

Cons: Wrote these in opposite categories

Pros: The Tamarindo Doria Hotel IS Tamarindo- it’s located RIGHT IN THE CENTER of Tamarindo Beach, on the esplanade - why would you stay anywhere else? The resort is beautiful, very clean, very safe with armed security guards, all the staff is genuinely friendly and did I mention the location?

Pros: The food and staff were GREAT! Our room was clean and spacious, the safe gave us no problems and the location was amazing. There was construction during our stay but you could barely tell unless you were in the middle of It. I would hands down stay again.

Cons: Nothing to complain about.

Pros: The buffet breakfast was good and the location in the beach is beautiful.

Cons: There was construction going on everyday from 10 am on. We were trying to relax in our room and all we could hear was hammering of concrete right out side our room. When I talked to guest services about it they said sir most of our guests are already awake. Also thee was little to no hot water and house keeping came into our room 3 times without knocking while we were trying to sleep. For a room that costs over 300 usd a night there was so many issues we will never come back here. Customer service did nothing to make it better.

Cons: The scrambled eggs could have been cooked more. Every day they were the same and runny.

Pros: We loved the location, surfing, tour organizing, pools

Cons: Kids club would be great

Pros: Resort was very nice and in a great location. Room was clean and right on the beach. Staff was friendly and very helpful.

Cons: No guests are allowed in rooms.

Pros: The pool furthest from the beach was amazing. Having a swim up bar was awesome. Great restaurants nearby. Location was perfect and by all the dance clubs.

Cons: My room door was not flush to the floor so cockroaches came in quit a bit. Having to cross a busy street all the time was dangerous and annoying, especially when an officer was not there to help us cross. The pool, furthest from the beach did not have food, only the pool by the beach did. They did not have an american tv channel list in our room and asked room service twice to deliver it which never came.
