3 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 April 2012

We booked the junior suite which was the most expensive room and on the top floor. It was large room and clean and the balcony had good views of the beach, but it was pretty tired and the bed was quite sunken and the lock on the door not great. In the mornings for breakfast, we could never work out... More

We spent our first two nights in Tamarindo at this hotel. We thought it would be amazing since it was right on the beach. Turns out, the bed was uncomfortable, the A/C was dripping water on the floor (granted, they fixed it after the first night) and the lock on the bedroom door wouldn't work. The first day when we...

The Laguna del Cocodrilo is a nice, small hotel, incredibly quiet, ideally located at the entrance in Tamarindo, you can hardly believe that you are actually staying in one of the busyest playas in Costa Rica. We had one of the junior suites and it was great. We had a big terasse, we could lie in the bed and still... More

We booked nine months ago to avoid problems and after a long flight from Canada, the owner had lost our reservation. He put us up in a non view room on the busy road. The room was basic at least and noisy as [--]. Having no space he recommended we go to a hotel down the street which was an... More

Stayed here twice when Witch's Rock was full. Both times I've really enjoyed my stay. Cedric and family really make you feel welcome. It's a great simple hotel that has everything you need, perfect place if you are spending your days surfing in CR. Not a five star hotel, but I've been pleased both times I've stayed there.

We stayed here one night when the electricity in our rental house went out. It was the only vacancy we could find at 9:00 at night. If you stay here for the location and don't really care about a decent room, you'll probably be alright, but this was by far the worst hotel we stayed in during our 2 months... More

This certainly isn't a terrible place but I think the reviews such as the one in the Lonely Planet guide that convinced us to stay here might be a bit dated. We left with a very sour taste after the owner refused to let us leave a night early without paying for the unused night. The place was nearly empty... More
