Grounds were pretty. Staff was great and accommodating. I liked that coffee was ready by 5:45 AM--it was even poured for me! Felt very secure.

My ONE pet peeve is that the owner seems to like to mill around and talk to his staff in a loud, boomy voice. And at times he went on and on. We old folks like to nap and in the afternoon I had to give up. It happened again at about 9:30 at night. I realize the need to converse with staff, but (assuming nothing is wrong, and it sounded more like just shooting the breeze) away from the rooms, please, and at normal conversation level, not like talking to a deaf person!

This hotel is so well maintained and wonderfully staffed, and the location is exceptional while still being extremely private and quiet. The breakfast was phenomenal too—restaurant quality sit-down breakfast for free. As someone who has long-since acclimated to the DIY hotel breakfast, it was such a treat. The owner is receptive and active and everything is kept extremely clean. The people who work here take great pride in the pristine space they have created. The hotel is actually off of Tamarindo's beaten path, but has a walkway to the main strip. That means it's quiet all hours of the day. We were so satisfied and happy we'd chosen Hotel Arco Iris! Well worth the money.

The location was perfect, off the main road leading to downtown Tamarindo, but less than a mile to all the restaurants, bars, and shopping. Bed and room generally were also very comfortable

Wasn't a very lively vibe, maybe because we were there in the offseason. We would regularly be the only ones at the pool, and the owner's always there talking business with the staff.

One Word: RICHARD! The owner of the hotel, Richard, is amazing! He is there to help with anything you need and he makes you feel like family. The rooms are nice and simple. Nothing too fancy but everything you need. The grounds outside are BEAUTIFUL! We got some amazing photos at this location! We loved sitting in our hammock in front of our room during the hottest part of the day. It's in a really nice part of town. It's just a quick walk to all shops, restaurants, and the beach. We really enjoyed our stay! Thank you so much for everything! We would definitely come back and visit again!

Everything was amazing!

Our room was clean and well appointed. Daily breakfast was terrific: plenty of choices and cheerful, attentive service. Hotel staff was very helpful with arranging transportation and giving advice on what to do and where to visit.

Sorry to see the restaurant no longer serves dinner, only breakfast.

Location was really good. In the town, but away from any noise. Lovely quiet bungalow. Room was maybe a bit on the small side, but enough, and bigger rooms available if needed. Hammock outside the room was great and we had more than 40 wi ks in that. Staff and owners very friendly and always had time to talk, free spanish lessons from Steve at breakfast, bonus.

Room was quite close to the kitchen, so a bit of noise from there, but nothing extreme and all quiet from 10pm in any case. And nothing I would complain about.

Very nice bungalow style hotel (only about a dozen rooms). Located 5 minutes walk to town centre via a side entrance. 10 to 15 min walk to surfing beach depending which area. Clean & secure with friendly English speaking staff. Nice pool next to breakfast/restaurant area. Excellent quality breakfast included with our room. The well respected restaurant operates under the name “Seasons” which is open to non residents. The food is superb.

I liked the spacious comfortable rooms and the beautiful gardens and pool. Also the receptionists were very kind and helped a lot with information

I don’t think breakfast was so great as I read in comments. There are only 4 options for a set breakfast, non of them includes any kind of bread (never seen that before) and every day one of the options wasn’t available for lack of an ingredient. Also service could be very much improved

I loved the style of architecture. It was a very beautiful design and room was comfortable and clean.

Lots of mosquitoes and lizards, but that’s to be expected with the country.

Breakfast was delicious every day (you have 4 customizable options). It was just so beautiful, the landscaping and architecture allowed us to feel comfortable and private in our rooms. Everything was in walking distance. And the staff is soooo helpful, anytime we asked a question we were helped out. We were already trying to plan to come back before we left.
