The location was excellent, especially with a view of the ocean, though there were some local kids playing in the pool. The dining options were basic but satisfactory overall.

I couldn't have asked for a better mix of pros and cons at the Best Western in Tamarindo, Costa Rica. The rooms are equipped with small tables and chairs, along with all kitchen facilities, offering a great view. They felt very new and cozy. The service was excellent overall, with friendly staff, although some were a bit dismissive. The location is outstanding, being central and close to all important points in Tamarindo. On the downside, the hotel seems to be a hotspot for locals on weekends, affecting the peaceful atmosphere, and very minor privacy issues were present at the parking lot entrance. The dining experience was simple but still good, considering the price paid. The facilities provided were satisfying, offering convenience and comfort during the stay.

The hotel offers large, modern, and clean rooms that are incredibly comfortable and well put together, with lovely views of the Howler monkeys. The service is top-notch, with very talkative and nice staff who are always available and helpful. The location is excellent, close to the beach and downtown but away from the night life. The dining experience, while featuring amazing local Costa Rican food, could be improved. Overall, a fantastic stay with a few minor hiccups.

Staying at this hotel was a bit of a mixed experience for me. The rooms were spacious, but the music was so loud that it felt like my room was vibrating. It was challenging to get decent sleep due to the lack of soundproofing. On the bright side, having a kitchenette was a great perk.

Stunning ocean and pool view rooms, but noise can be disruptive at night. Enjoy unforgettable sunsets from your personal patio.
