Staff was super friendly. Place was close enough to town and all of the happenings but far enough to stay quieter at night. Room was clean and cozy.

This was one of the most lovely, gracious, welcoming and comfortable places I've ever stayed. The architecture is gorgeous. It's a close walk to downtown and the beach but is quiet at night. Enjoyed the included drinks by the pool and slept so well! The included breakfast was great too. Would stay again any time!

We loved our stay ! The property is small and very peaceful, tucked into the jungle a bit away from the downtown - but still only a short walk to the beach. We loved the pool and daily breakfast. Would definitely stay again.

The Arco Iris is a charming hotel with helpful and friendly staff. The breakfast included was cooked to order and always delicious. The fresh juice and coffee were great. The pool and surrounding lounging area was very quiet and comfortable. In all, this hotel is a wonderful place to stay and a good value while visiting Tamarindo.

I loved the boutique style of this hotel! Our room was really nice and clean. It is a quaint remodeled hotel but nicely maintained, Great pool and seating areas in the common area. Delicious breakfast choices, loved the staff - Hi Christian! We met a bunch of other guests like ourselves who were really fun too. Wish we could all get together there again next year!

We stayed in three different hotels in Costa Rica for this week-long trip and this was by far the best. Though the rooms were a bit more expensive than the others, this was justified by the amenities. Rooms were nice, water was hot. And the breakfast, which is included, was a full made-to-order breakfast that would make any restaurant proud. Juan Carlos made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. Would recommend.

Nice hotel very close to all the shops and beach. Wish the pool area was bigger but it’s a small hotel. Avocado toast for breakfast was very good.
