The place is clean, comfortable, and has a nice pool to cool off in. Breakfast was great, especially the omelette :) They have great coffees during the day. We also loved the burgers. Big thanks to Augustín, who helped us with check-in and gave us useful tips throughout our stay.

Generally quiet, even next to the highway. We were greeted by the owner's two teenage sons. Clearly managers in training. The kitchen beside the pool was well equipped for our breakfast of cold cereal. There is a hot plate and BBQ which we did not try out. Both beds were pushed against the walls. We were able to move the double bed away from the wall and use the side chair so both sides of the bed could have a bedside table of sorts. Towels are thick, soft.and absorbant. Shower is slow to heat but then warm.

Vey clean room, well maintained property. Lovely and exceptionally hospitable owners. Quiet,yet close to Tamarindo and the surrounding beaches- 10-14 min by car. Great breakfast- enjoyed the French crepes every morning, eggs, delicious coffee, homemade yogurt, fresh fruits, gallo pinto, almond cake and more. Nice pool, very refreshing for the hot weather.

Fantastic stay of 3 weeks at this wonderful luxury lodge boutique hotel. The owners who run the place are extremely friendly, helpful and provide really great service, making you feel at home. You can tell they love what they do. Breakfasts were fabulous, rooms were tidy and clean, comfy beds, outdoor shower is a great touch. The location is perfect, easy drive to tamarindo and nestled in a quite relaxing environment out of crowded areas. Close to various other beaches and easy to get to main roads for sightseeing. Overall a great experience to repeat.

    Our stay at Hotel Elixir was great. The location is perfect, really central but also tucked away from too much noise. The breakfast was excellent and the staff really helpful. Our room was very comfortable and spotlessly clean.

    My best decision was to stay at Hotel Boruca, the staff was always friendly and they welcomed us and helped us with a smile. The room was very clean and carefully decorated. The price is very good for the Tamarindo area and it's location worked very well for us, we gone to the beach, visit restaurants, we was only have to walk 200 meters. Definitely if I return to Tamarindo, I will return to this hotel.

    We had a great stay at Casa del sol. The room was very clean, communication was easy and the location was in walking distance from all the restaurants and bars but still in a quiet area. The beach was only 2 minutes away.
