Arco Iris Hotel and Restaurant

We stayed here 5 nights and really loved it. It’s close to centre of town but is like a small oasis due to its design with lots of trees and plants. The rooms were comfortable with lovely toiletries in bathroom. The staff were so friendly and chatty. Nothing was too much trouble. Breakfast was delicious every day - freshly cooked to order. The little pool was great and we enjoyed the small lounge/restaurant area to sit in and play games. It was lovely to be in a smaller hotel - there are only 15 rooms. We had seats outside our rooms and space to dry clothes and towels outside our room which was ideal.

Beautiful quiet hotel tucked back off the road. It was nice being in a little sanctuary where you can easily get to everything but not hear the party noises at night. Our rooms were very clean and comfortable with good air conditioning. Breakfast is included so you can eat by the pool and gorgeous garden. It is a very short walk to everything you could want--the beach, bars, night market and many places to eat. The staff, including Freddy and Harry, were very hospitable and friendly. Our rooms were in a lovely garden with hammocks and chairs right in front. The pool was lovely and very clean. Would highly recommend!

We absolutely loved this hotel from check in to check out and everything in between. It was close to the action, but far enough to where you didn't have to deal with noise. The back gate to the "alleyway" directly to central road was absolutely perfect so you didn't have to walk down the rocky dirt road near the front entrance. The front desk was always friendly and readily available for any requests we may have had. The room was clean and the air conditioner worked well. Breakfast here is fantastic too. 100% recommend this hotel and I hope to return soon!

I stayed here spontaneously and couldn’t have made a better choice. I booked a bungalow, and it was absolutely amazing-beautifully designed, perfect lication, super clean, and I especially loved having my own hammock and outdoor space to relax. The overall vibe of the hotel is calm and peaceful, and the other guests seemed to be just as laid-back and friendly. The breakfast was delicious, and the staff went above and beyond, always kind, welcoming, and super helpful with anything I needed, from booking activities to giving local tips. I’m so happy I chose this place, and I’ll definitely stay here again on my next trip to Tamarindo. Highly recommend!

This place was OK, but certainly not luxury as it says on the signs. Breakfast was very good, cooked fresh not buffet, as much coffee as you like and water fountains to fill your bottles. The rooms were clean and comfortable, mattresses good, but little things let it down a bit like bulbs not working and bathroom drain a bit blocked. Not major, but a shame. Location was good, and the service was OK. The place lacked a bit of life, and was rough around the edges a little. Small pool and some deckchairs, but most furniture needs a bit of tlc

We think a cooked to order breakfast is a great way to start the day! Then ten minutes to the beach until lunchtime and the day’s heat sent us back to the hotel pool to cool off and read with a cold beverage. Easy walk downtown for dinner and a comfy cool bed to return to. Henry is a great host and he thoughtfully prepared a boxed breakfast when we mentioned we’d be leaving one morning for a 4:30 am tour. Above and beyond helpful!

Perfectly located in the middle of everything. A short walk to the middle of town where all the fun is happening but far enough where you don't have to hear it if that makes sense. Allowed me to check early, which was awesome. I am very grateful for that after a long flight and a 90 drive to getting there from Liberia. Breakfast was included and was made fresh, which was amazing. You have like 6 or 7 options to choose from. Small little pool to dip in and hang around if you don't want to deal with the beach shenanigans. Everyone one that's works there makes you feel like family. A sincere environment for sure! My only con was I already had arranged transportation to and from the airport. The night before I was set to leave, the company I hired, confirmed the pick-up time, and asked me for my room number. The gentleman showed up about a half hour early and was told by the person at the desk I had checked out the night before. Luckily for me, the guy called his boss and waited to set time we had agreed upon. Imagine if he had left, and I would have been stuck trying to find emergency transportation. I would have had to pay for another ride to the airport. I know businesses in the area need to eat and I've been traveling long enough to know when you feel like you are being scammed because you didn't utilize the service that the hotel "highly recommended". My hope with this message is that it doesn't happen to the next guest.

This is a cute boutique hotel conveniently located near the action in the center of Tamarindo. Easy walk to all the restaurants and of course the beach. What really stood out was how wonderful all of the staff were. We felt like we were staying with friends. Maybe it helped that we were practicing our Spanish with everyone...but the staff all spoke Engish as well. So, I think they are just nice people. They have both bungalow and hotel rooms...we had a bungalow and we really liked it. It was clean and comfortable.
