Hotel La Palapa

La chambre donne directement sur la plage avec transats et hamac, c'est très agréable !

This place was next-level amazing for the value. When we checked in, we had the (owner? manager?) give us a personal tour of the facility to our room. The room was ocean-facing, which was a really nice perk. We were able to park our rental car in a locked lot during our stay (included). The beach access is right there - hotel guests get priority access to hammocks, chairs and tables. Tamarindo is very walkable, so you'll be able to access tons of restaurants, shops and bars in the area. The one drawback has nothing to do with the hotel at all - the club nearby/next door blasted music from 2:30a.m. to 5 a.m. every night we were there, so BRING EARPLUGS. The monkeys can get loud as well, and the iguanas loudly walk on your roof. Hotel guests also get access to $35 massages on the beach (bring cash) and it was one of the most calming, relaxing massages of my life with the sound of crashing waves during it. Overall, would come back to this hotel every time I'm in Tamarindo.

Manager was awesome

Rolando was a great host. The location right on the beach is perfect and the rooms cute and spotless.

Rolando and the other staff were wonderful. The setting, especially the palm-tree-shaded sitting area, made us want to stay twice as long. Location is close to everything you need. We also really enjoyed our included breakfasts at Buon Appetito!
