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.

Nice hotel very close to all the shops and beach. Wish the pool area was bigger but it’s a small hotel. Avocado toast for breakfast was very good.

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.

Solo female traveller review. Everything was wonderful. The staff is awesome and took care of everything I needed. Juan Carlo and Steve always went above and beyond. Great little cabannas with comfy bed and pillows, great air con and a nice large shower. Lovely grounds and a nice pool with plenty of places to lounge and relax. Proximity to shops, restaurants and the beach was great!! I really enjoyed the rest and relaxation I came for and will definitely stay here again!!!

Quiet off the main road cute little hotel. Excellent service. Great breakfast each morning where the staff remembered your drink preferences. The rooms were nice and clean. We stayed 6 nights. The owner was on site and was very nice and friendly. We had eaten at a local restaurant and had a lot of leftovers for the next day. The owner let us use the plates and silverware used for breakfast and warmed up the food for us in their microwave. Over and above great service. We would stay again in a heartbeat.

100% would stay here again!

My stay here was amazing - I would definitely stay here again the next time I come to Tamarindo! As a solo traveller I felt safe and the hotel is in a great location. 5 minutes walk to the main street and to the beach, yet a bit removed so it is quiet in the evenings so you can rest. All the staff are so helpful and friendly. They helped me book all my excursions and transfers for a seamless experience. The accommodations and facilities are clean and well maintained, and the free coffee/tea/filtered water station are a nice touch. Their breakfast was also so delicious and a really relaxing way to start the day - definitely add it on!

First time to Costa Rica and Arco Iris really went above and beyond to help me with shuttles to and from the airport and helping me navigate where to go! Breakfast in the morning was a 10/10, if you like pancakes I highly suggest them!! Steven is such a wonderful person and I looked forward to seeing him in the morning, always happy and singing and never let my orange juice glass go empty … the orange juice is incredible!!! I would highly recommend this hotel for your next stay! I travelled alone and felt completely safe. 5 minute walk to the beach and restaurants are super close!

This is such a gorgeous boutique hotel with excellent customer service. It’s conveniently located with about a 6 minute walk to the beach and main strip. Juan Carlos is very friendly and definitely helpful. Going during rainy season was really great too because it was never crowded anywhere we went.

I celebrated my birthday at this property. It was very nice. Juan Carlos, Henry, Antonella, the security guard and the rest of the staff were all great. Everyone was professional & courteous. The bungalow was very cute and private. I would stay here again if I visit Tamarindo.
