Playa Penca, Potrero Yakınlarındaki Oteller

Overall, this place gives you the stereotypical beach tourist vibes. If you're into that, it's a good bang for buck. However, if you're looking for a slightly more authentic Costa Rican experience, this is not the place. I mean even The restaurant is ”Italian.” Why you would have a fake Italian restaurant at a Costa Rican beach resort is beyond me. The Cons (which outweigh the pros): The cleanliness of the property was not as expected nor like the pictures. The exterior floors were dirty, especially around the pool (which was also not clean). The jacuzzi was cold. The roof tiles were broken, dirty, and had trash all over them (or room was on the 2nd floor & had a front row view to the roof). The restaurant was swarming with flies during lunch and dinner times (the fans could have helped but they were only decorational). There was nothing special about the room we had (302), expect for the nice vaulted ceilings. It has 2 rooms, 2 bathrooms which was nice. One room had 2 twin beds and great lighting, there other room has a long bed (poor lighting). A small note, if you like firm mattresses, this is the place for you! The beds were hard and not easy for us to sleep in with our preference of medium firm beds. The Pros: The location was great and the rooms themselves were clean, so it does have that going for it. The front desk was also nice and staff were friendly.

Friendly staff (especially Rene and Will), great service, and an awesome experience overall. The outside environment is relaxing with entertainment every day. Only takes a few minutes to walk to the beach around the corner. Whether you’re staying for business or vacation, it is a great place to choose.

This trip was for my honey moon, the staff was pleasant and helpful. The shuttle service was easy and efficient and the trip to town was less then 5 mins away. The beach club that was attached to the hotel is 6 mins away and prime location in the beach. All the rooms have a beautiful view and would definitely book again even if it is not right in the beach as everything is within walking distance and a taxi ride away (we paid 5$ from center of town to our hotel) the rooms were clean and the ac unit kept the room nice and cool which is refreshing coming in from the humid outdoors. Definitely book again … pura vida

I don't know where to begin, this place was amazing to me. I have travelled a lot, but never solo in a place where I'm not a fluent speaker and don't know a soul - I stayed here solo for 10 days in the Playa Negra room, and from the moment I checked in I felt so safe, secure, and well cared for. The room was spacious and incredibly clean, the halls and common spaces also so secure and maintained. The staff were so gentle and accommodating, helping me with anything that came up, including things like booking tours, where to go to shop or to change money, how to get to the beach quickly, etc! I was so anxious to take on this trip by myself, but the staff and vibe is why I know I'll return to Tamarindo soon. I felt I have made friends due to the real human sincerity that I was shown. I was even given a yoga mat and block for my room when the receptionist learned I was practicing yoga in my room on the floor; By the way, there are free activities every few nights in the hotel and the Mercadito beside it, such as yoga classes, salsa classes, cocktail making classes, so you will always have something to do even if you don't go on tours and are on a budget! The Sol Bakery and Mercadito beside the hotel offer so much variety of food and beverage, and within Zulu there are two lounge areas as well for when the rain hits, so you will have plenty of space and access even if you stay in a smaller room. Everyone is generally very friendly and warm, again, a total dream socially! The location is pretty much unbeatable, within 3 minutes walking distance you can be at some of the best coffee shops, food, supermarkets and bulk stores, the beach, tour operators, many souvenir shops and clothing stores, etc. So staying here can allow you to have either a very touristic experience or a more locally-rhythmed one, it's up to you. It is also very central and so, very safe. The beach is literally across the street. One last thing to mention is the ease of check-in and check-out. Shuttle buses to the airports can be arranged to directly drop you to the hotel, so as long as you plan ahead with the staff you will be taken care of. I can't wait to come back, and when I stay in Tamarindo, this is where I'll stay.

Obsessed with this hotel! We stayed recently and were kindly upgraded to a beautiful corner room facing the Pacific Ocean as we were celebrating our honeymoon. The bed was so comfortable with tons of pillows to suit your preference. Room was impeccably clean, and the property decor is done to perfection. The property is centrally located to restaurants and walking distance to the Danta Beach. The rooftop pool was great, never crowded and had beautiful views of Las Catalinas. The lobby bar & restaurant were our go-to numerous times during our stay with great service, and the coffee shop on property was good as well for a morning coffee run or quick grab & go bite. I cannot recommend this hotel enough, we had an absolutely incredible time during our stay here. I think our only complain was no drink service at the rooftop pool, but it's not a long journey to the lobby bar for a cocktail. Eli at the lobby bar was phenomenal, and the lady at the front desk - I can't remember her name - but she was always so kind & helpful, providing excellent customer service.

6 Night family vacation at Margaritaville Beach Resort was wonderful. We had an amazing view from our ocean front room. The beach was very nice and we enjoyed walking to the nearby new marina. Transportation to and from airport was taken care of by Minor Gonzales. I recommend booking tours with Minor @ Major Tours as well. I booked transportation and tours before the trip . We got to see and do so much! Traveling with our 20 year old son and 14 year old daughter everyone was happy on the tours especially the mega tour with zip line, tubing, horseback riding, mud bath and hot springs. The ATV tour was a favorite of our son and we even saw monkeys on the tour. Minor did a great job and we loved the individual service he provided- would definitely book with him again. The cons for the resort would be limited food option and not much night time entertainment. We loved the smaller resort size for sure. Our son is a pickle ball/tennis player and we hate that we were not informed ahead of time that the tennis courts were being resurfaced and we not open. Thank would have been nice to know. Pro- the staff was very quick to respond to any thing that we needed when we requested items. One evening we needed towels and an extra blanket after calling the front desk we had the items in hand with in 15 minutes. Overall it was a great trip for our family with many memories made.

We read mixed reviews, but we had a pleasant time here and no complaints. Check-in was easy, not much English, but we got there. We parked by the room, which was great. We arrived late afternoon for 1 night, we swam in the pool, kids loved the slide, there was a lovely atmosphere. We slept really well, no noise, and had a lovely breakfast. If you expect a plush hotel, you'll be disappointed. If you are happy with basic with great service, you'll be happy. It's very central too.
