What guests think
La Ramona Charming Hotel is a small, quiet boutique stay set a short walk from Tamarindo’s center, praised for genuinely friendly hosts, a standout made‑to‑order breakfast, spacious rooms with very comfortable beds, and romantic outdoor showers or tubs.
Several reviews note unpaved, dusty access roads, outside or dirt parking, and occasional construction or brief utility outages. Cleanliness is widely praised, though a few guests mentioned ants, dated details, or limited soundproofing. Overall, expect a peaceful, personable boutique stay rather than a full‑service resort.

Small charming hotel, as the name suggests. Rooms are spacious and hotel has a swimming pool centrally located in the centre. The best part of the rooms was the bed, which was one of the most comfortable I’ve slept on. Daily housekeeping. Hotel is in a quiet area, which we appreciated, especially when the bars were rocking, but still walkable to the centre of town and the beach. The only meal option is breakfast, served between 08:00 and 10:00, and made to order.

We had a great stay at La Ramona. It’s was as described in the property description. The owners and staff were all very kind and the breakfast was delicious. Unfortunately they had construction going on while we were there in November which lead to early morning wake ups due to the noise.

Bel établissement, mais le jour où nous sommes arrivé, il n’y avait pas d’eau, il faut s’attendre à ça a Tamarindo , de plus l’établissement est un peu loin du centre , c’est plus calme mais, les journées chaudes sont difficiles pour aller se promener surtout que la rue n’est pas asphalté et donc très poussiéreuse

It was nice, quiet and just what we were looking for in a one-night stay. Only blemish was that the power went out for a couple of hours, but hey, we are used to that in Central America. I do recomend the stay, no doubt!

The name is fitting...charming! We thoroughly enjoyed our time at La Ramona. The hotel is tucked away in a neighborhood away from the main strip, which is what we wanted. The staff were friendly and helpful. The communal kitchen had everything we needed, including a made-to-order breakfast every morning. Our room had an outside bathtub and shower on a private patio. It was very quaint and romantic. We enjoyed our stay and would go back. Thank you!

We really enjoyed our stay. The property is small and has a family-owned bed and breakfast feeling. The owner, Pavel, was delightful and helpful. The rooms were clean, spacious and beautiful. It’s about a short 5 minute walk in to town and is very quiet. The only sounds we heard were wildlife! Included breakfast in the morning was delicious as well. We would love to stay here again in the future.

Nice clean rooms, friendly staff, and the breakfast was perfect. It's close to several restaurants, bars, cafes, and a grocery store. The beach and the main strip in Tamarindo are about a 10-15 min walk but we liked this as it kept it very quiet in the room. We stayed for 5 days without a car and did not feel we needed one. Felt more like a bed and breakfast than a hotel, which was a nice surprise. Definitely recommend

L’emplacement est à environ 10 minutes de marche du centre ville de Tamarindo. Après avoir discuté avec le gérant sur place, il nous a indiqué que l’endroit avait été vendu il n’y a pas si longtemps. Peut être Que cela explique le petit manque d’amour et de propreté des lieux? Ça reste malgré tout magnifique dans un superbe décor. Mais il y aurait un brin d’amour à y mettre pour garder cette beauté

The breakfast included was some of the best we had in Costa Rica and you feel very much taken care of here. The owner and his family were so kind and helpful, we will most certainly be back. Highly recommend!

The best part of the rooms was the bed, which was one of the most comfortable I’ve slept on. Daily housekeeping. Hotel is in a quiet area, which we appreciated, especially when the bars were rocking, but still walkable to the centre of town and the beach.

The roads are dirt/gravel part of the way and no sidewalks but it wasn’t bad. The outside shower and bathtub were very relaxing! Breakfast was great! Fruit, eggs, rice, beans, and toast! Perfect little spot for our last night in Costa Rica!

Kleines Hotel mit 4-5 Zimmern. Auf den ersten Blick super, bei genauerem betrachten naja. Für 1-2 Nächte I.O, wir waren 3 und dies ist definitiv zu lang. Jeden Tag dasselbe Frühstück, einfach langweilig. Weg zum Strand 8min zu Fuss, bei 36 Grad ist dies relativ lange. Das Zimmer war dafür schon um 11 ready und weil es ein wenig abgelegen ist, schön ruhig.

Nice clean rooms, friendly staff, and the breakfast was perfect. It's close to several restaurants, bars, cafes, and a grocery store. The beach and the main strip in Tamarindo are about a 10-15 min walk but we liked this as it kept it very quiet in the room. We stayed for 5 days without a car and did not feel we needed one. Felt more like a bed and breakfast than a hotel, which was a nice surprise. Definitely recommend

Absolutely loved our stay here. Couldn’t have picked a better spot literally five minute walk away from the main downtown area, yet so relaxing and quiet. We’ll definitely stay here again. Thank you for our wonderful stay.

Bel établissement, mais le jour où nous sommes arrivé, il n’y avait pas d’eau, il faut s’attendre à ça a Tamarindo , de plus l’établissement est un peu loin du centre , c’est plus calme mais, les journées chaudes sont difficiles pour aller se promener surtout que la rue n’est pas asphalté et donc très poussiéreuse

The name is fitting...charming! We thoroughly enjoyed our time at La Ramona. The hotel is tucked away in a neighborhood away from the main strip, which is what we wanted. The staff were friendly and helpful. The communal kitchen had everything we needed, including a made-to-order breakfast every morning. Our room had an outside bathtub and shower on a private patio. It was very quaint and romantic. We enjoyed our stay and would go back. Thank you!

Breakfast is widely praised as delicious, generous, and made to order, often personalized. A few mention that breakfast is the only meal offered, starts at 8:00, or can feel repetitive.

We really enjoyed our stay. The property is small and has a family-owned bed and breakfast feeling. The owner, Pavel, was delightful and helpful. The rooms were clean, spacious and beautiful. It’s about a short 5 minute walk in to town and is very quiet. The only sounds we heard were wildlife! Included breakfast in the morning was delicious as well. We would love to stay here again in the future.

I recently enjoyed a fantastic stay at this hotel and wanted to share my positive experience. The breakfast was amazing, the rooms were spotless, and the staff was incredibly accommodating. All this, plus reasonable pricing, made it a standout choice. I'll be returning on my next visit. Highly recommend!

Small charming hotel, as the name suggests. Rooms are spacious and hotel has a swimming pool centrally located in the centre. The best part of the rooms was the bed, which was one of the most comfortable I’ve slept on. Daily housekeeping. Hotel is in a quiet area, which we appreciated, especially when the bars were rocking, but still walkable to the centre of town and the beach. The only meal option is breakfast, served between 08:00 and 10:00, and made to order.

Arrivée à l'hôtel pas rassurante du tout, chemin en terre, avec trous énormes, parking devant en terre Accueillie par un homme pas avenant du tout et assez oppressant. La chambre a une très jolie décoration C'est propre mais un gros rafraîchissement serait a prévoir Le pommeau de douche allait dans tous les sens car trous bouchés Aucune insonorisation Une porte vitrée cassée Un systeme de fermeture pas optimal Un p'tit déjeuner trop tardif , 8h , Literie confortable Petit déjeuner bon Seulement du café , pas de thé

I have nothing but great things to say about this hotel! Talk about charming. It is so quaint and warm, very comfortable beds and we loved our outdoor shower and tub. The breakfast included was some of the best we had in Costa Rica and you feel very much taken care of here. The owner and his family were so kind and helpful, we will most certainly be back. Highly recommend!

having spent almost two weeks in CR, I was used to bugs. but not bugs everywhere in the room - on the bathroom countertops, on my towel, or on my face and pillow when i’m asleep, especially for a 4 star hotel. poor water pressure. the water also had a yellow tint and the bathroom/faucets smelled like rotten eggs that permeated throughout the room. the clean towels and sheets had hair in them. the mattress was lumpy and uncomfortable. the location was close to town, but even the hotel manager told me not to walk alone at night on the dirt road leading back to the hotel. i’m used to inconveniences while traveling but for the price, i expected much better.
