Hotel Boruca Tamarindo

Great hotel in the center of Tamarindo. Breakfast was delicious. The room was clean. Angelo was happy to answer our questions. The pool and the garden is well maintained. Room a a busy street but we were able to sleep welll anyway without to much noise.

This hotel has so much potential!! 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 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
