Tamarindo Hotel Guide - Playa Róbalo hotels in Tamarindo, Costa Rica.

"We had minor issues with AC being always on, and the thermostats not kicking in. There was also a clog in the AC unit and cause leaking from the ceiling. The road to the resort needs work. There is a 10 minute stretch that’s really nerve wracking if you are coming in for the first time when it’s dark, and you worry about the damage to the vehicle. Other than that, it’s a great place and does deserve all the 5-stars. "

"Very nice property! Management staff was very responsive and polite. Highly recommended!"

"Reserva de Golf neighborhood was the perfect place for our family to stay while visiting Costa Rica. The neighborhood was full of wildlife and the most beautiful landscaping. The house we stayed in was functional and beautifully designed to accommodate a larger family. The cleaning service was so valuable and they took such good care of us. They even swapped out the floral arrangements daily with flowers and plants from around the property. There was a large platter of fresh fruit waiting for us when got there. The pool and outdoor area was so relaxing, although the hot tub didn’t get hot, just warm. The howler monkeys made up for it! The Hacienda Pinilla beach club was so convenient to work out, surf, and pool without leaving the neighborhood. We highly recommend and will definitely come back! "

"This house was awesome! The kitchen had most everything you would need and Jenny was so great! The host team was very responsive to any needs that came up. We would definitely recommend this property. "

"Great well appointed villa and property. However, getting to property is a expedition. The last few miles were challenging unpaved road. Fortunately, local restaurants are just a few minutes away. "

"Very good location for surf beach access. Its nice to see original Costa Rican houses are still available to stay at! The host was great with communication. "

"This property was fantastic and we absolutely loved our stay here! It was only a 10 minute walk or so to the beach which was stunning. It was homey, clean, secure, filled with wildlife, and let me just say I think I may have taken the best naps of my life on those hammocks. Ben was a fantastic host and even provided private surfing lessons for our kiddos which they absolutely adored. Thank you so much for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home! "

"The resort is gorgeous. The rooms are clean , beds are very comfortable. Definitely Great to have the pool right outside the door. Odd set up for the 2 bdr villas.. when you enter through the gate you have a common outside small table and 4 chairs and on each side of that is a sliding door..to the right ...a kitchen with 2 single beds and TV, no bathroom. So whoever is in that room has to come through the queen bedroom with people sleeping to use bathroom . On the left queen bedroom and bathroom, no tv. So when those people go to bed no tv to watch. Also, the shower is outside which was cool, but the door to the bathroom is locked and if you wanted to leave it open ..there was just enough gap for lizards and bugs to come in . And no hooks to hang your towel and clothes. The units definitely need more hooks to hang towels up or a retractable clothes line. We had all our stuff drapped all over the chairs in the common outdoor space. Which was hard to sit at as they were all covered in wet stuff. Also needs more hanging hooks for clothes in other room with the kitchen ....and more cutlery options like a good cutting knife , bottle opener, wine opener ..etc. Basic utensils only, no dish soap to wash dishes"
