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.

I recently stayed at Hotel Arcoiris in Tamarindo for one night, and it was a fantastic experience that exceeded my expectations. Location & Atmosphere: Hotel Arcoiris is ideally located in Tamarindo, just a short walk from the vibrant town center and the beautiful beach. The hotel’s surroundings offer a perfect blend of convenience and relaxation. The atmosphere is inviting and laid-back, making it a great spot to unwind after a day of exploring. Room Comfort: The room I stayed in was both comfortable and charming. It was clean, well-appointed, and beautifully decorated with a local flair. The bed was cozy, and the room featured all the amenities needed for a pleasant stay, including a mini-fridge, air conditioning, and a well-functioning Wi-Fi connection. The private balcony was a nice touch, offering a relaxing spot to enjoy the tropical surroundings. Facilities: The hotel facilities were excellent. The lush garden area and the inviting pool provided a serene setting for relaxation. The on-site breakfast was a highlight, with a delicious selection of fresh, local options that started my day off perfectly. The communal areas were well-maintained and offered a pleasant space to socialize or simply enjoy the surroundings. Service: The service at Hotel Arcoiris was exceptional. The staff were friendly, attentive, and genuinely committed to making my stay enjoyable. From the warm welcome at check-in to the helpful recommendations for local dining and activities!

I like that it seemed secluded but very walkable to the beach and all the restaurants. The room was big and the bed was comfortable. Breakfast service and food was excellent!!! And all the staff were very helpful especially Juan Carlos who made sure breakfast was prepared for us to bring when we told him we were leaving early to visit another town. Would highly recommend this hotel.

We stay there just for one night. We didn’t have much time to enjoy the property. Everything was nice and we were comfortable. The front desk guy was very polite and explained everything to us and walked us to the room. The bar-restaurant and pool looked very nice.

Had an awesome stay, everything was perfect, rooms were very clean and the property was stunning. Had a beautiful balcony that we sat under to listen to the rain in the evenings. Staff were so kind and friendly. Hotel is poked away in a quiet area but within walking distance to shops and the beach. 5 ⭐️ - would come back again!!
