Résumé des avis

Guests highlight the quality of the food, especially at the à la carte restaurants, and the hotel's excellent location near the city center. The cleanliness of the facilities and the beauty of the beach, ideal for walking and surfing, are also highly praised. However, the beach in front of the hotel is sometimes rocky and choppy, making swimming difficult, with some mentions of cleanliness issues. Furthermore, the buffet is occasionally considered repetitive, with a limited selection.

very well located
très bien situé

The only downside is all the rocks in front of the hotel beach, making swimming impossible at high tide (after about 3 hours) as it's too difficult to cross. There simply aren't any...

le seul bémol est tout les rochers devant la plage de l'hôtel et de ne pas pouvoir se baigner quand la marée est haute (après 3h environ ) trop difficile de traverser .ou il y en a pas

This is Costa Rica, so expect big waves on the beach. We were pleasantly surprised by the hotel, its cleanliness, and its comfort. The only downside was the buffet; it's very small, and since there are only two à la carte restaurants, it gets quite repetitive. Luckily, we rented a golf cart and went into town for three days to eat. I recommend this hotel if food isn't a priority for you. The location is perfect for visiting Tamarindo.

C'est le Costa Rica, donc pour la plage vous devez vous attendre à beaucoup de vague. Nous avons été agréablement surpris de l'hôtel, de sa propreté et son confort. Je vous dirais le seul bémol ses le buffet, il est très petit et du fait que nous avons uniquement 2 resto à la carte, ca devient très redondant. Par chance, de notre côté nous avons loué un cart de golf et somme aller en ville 3 jours pour manger. Je recommande cette hôtel si la nourriture pour vous n'est pas une nécessité. L'emplacement est parfait pour se rendre à Tamarindo

I ordered a steak at an Italian restaurant and didn't even take a bite because I asked for it medium-rare and it was barely cooked. Plus, it was full of gristle and stringiness. I told the waitress, but she didn't say or do anything about it.

J’ai mangé un steak au restaurant italien et même pas pris une bouchée car j’avais demandé la cuisson médium saignant et je l’ai reçu pas cuit bleu en plus il etait plein de tirailles et nerfs je l’ai dit à la serveuse et elle n’a rien dit ou fait

Belle hotel

Not brand new, but well-maintained. The staff were welcoming and attentive, but a little slow at the bar. Overall, everything was fine.

Pas neuf, mais bien entretenu. Personnel était accueillant et à notre écoute, mais un peu lent pour le service au bar. En général tout était bien.
