Hotel Boruca Tamarindo

The air conditioning was not working in the original tiny stuffy bedroom with a really narrow bathroom you could barely move in. They came in to see if they could get it going but to no avail. Thank goodness the nice man who checked me in moved me to a much more spacious accommodation (which at the price I paid should I have received in the first place!) The room was really great and had all the amenities and more but the overall cleanliness was poor. The shower stone wall and floors and tap fixtures looked like they have never been scrubbed and cleaned ever. I was concerned about my feet so wire my sandals. The cooking and eating utensils had food stuck to them and the countertop kitchen appliances were . I never saw housekeeping nor was my room attended to. They wanted me to go back to the hot room overlooking the busy street but I refused as it was unbearabley hot. The lady (I presume owner or manger) allowed me to stay the second room but you could tell she was very unhappy about it. It was a bigger and better accommodation but again, for the price I paid I think it was fair. I will say the breakfast was good and the young man who served me both mornings was very friendly and sweet. He made the stay much better by his kindness. They are lucky to have him on their staff.

The people managing the property are fantastic. Very friendly and quite helpful! The included breakfast is very good. The pool is a great way to get away from the busy beach. The property is a bit older but it’s well cared for. If you don’t like this property then you probably won’t like any property even if you spend way more money. Thanks for our enjoyable stay!!

The staff was very friendly and always happy to help. It’s very jungle vibes with all the greenery inside the hotel courtyard area. It’s a very convenient location because there are many restaurants around and a grocery store. The beach is only a 7 min walk. The hotel offers a really nice breakfast selection with some traditional Costa Rican breakfast options as well as very fresh fruit. I was also able to book tours at the reception and they help with transportation as well. Overall a great experience 10/10 recommend.

The hotel is older and quant, conveniently located to dining, grocery store, banking, shopping and the beach. The staff was incredible, they are so friendly and very helpful. We stayed 3 weeks and couldn't be more happy! We look forward to our next visit

The building is a unique design, round. The rooms are very clean and the staff excellent. We enjoyed a complimentary breakfast that was delicious. It was noisy at night however, lots of street noise.

Room was clean and staff was fantastic.

We loved staying at this quaint hotel easy walking distance to the beach. The breakfast is amazing and made fresh while we were sitting and enjoying our coffee. The staff is friendly and helpful and we really enjoyed having the two cats to interact with while we were there. Our room air conditioner had an issue and they did their best to fix it even though it was on a weekend. Checking in and checking out was super easy. Staff speaks English. Do not miss the amazing Italian restaurant that is at the very front of this hotel. The food is Michelin quality they had 25 specials and that did not include the full menu. I was traveling with two women friends and we highly recommend this quaint friendly hotel!

Hotel Boruca is an amazing place to stay in Tamarindo. It is located just off the main streets so everything is easily accessible and walkable but not in the center of it so you can enjoy some peace and quiet. The rooms are a bit outdated and run down but the staff is extremely friendly and helpful. We had breakfast included in our stay and it was simple but tasty. They were extremely accommodating and tend to your every need. We didn’t spend much time indoors except to sleep and shower. Definitely recommend staying here for a reasonable price and access to the hot spots.
