The staff were all so welcoming and made us feel at home. The grounds were also kept extremely clean and beautiful and the pool was the perfect temperature to cool off in. The rooms were large and comfortable. Great coffee in the morning and cute cats to stroke.

This hotel is located in the center of Tamarindo, but in quiet area. You can relax in peace by the relatively large swimming pool. The hotel is close to restaurants, bars, shops and the beach. You will find everything you need in its surroundings. There was nothing to complain about the room and cleaning. Nice and helpful staff. Puravida

Our stay at this beautiful hotel was simply perfect! The rooms are nice, clean, cozy, and well-appointed, offering a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The view of the swimming pool is beautiful, and the peacefulness of the place made for a truly relaxing experience. A special thanks to the very kind staff, who were always helpful and made us feel at home. The typical breakfast was delicious, featuring local products that added a special touch to our mornings. The nearby beach was really beautiful, with warm sea water and many palm trees providing shade, making it the perfect place to relax in the sun. We highly recommend this place to anyone seeking comfort, excellent service, and an authentic, unforgettable experience.

Muchas gracias to the owners from Hotel Casa Carlota. The Hotel is near from Tamarindo, but you may be need a car to go there. For us it was perfect far away from the trouble. But its close to a supermarket. The room was very clean and we had enough space. You also have a fridge and a coffeemachine. We used the kitchen outdoor in the cooking area for the breakfast. There‘s also a swimmingpool, which was cleaned everyday. The owners are very friendly and they also give us good suggestions. We would choose this place everytime again. muchas gracias para todo y hasta la proxima pura vida David and Sabrina

    Town is just big enough that there are lots of shops, restaurants, and things to do. Gorgeous beach also. But small enough that you can walk everywhere. It's a good base for the northwest area but doing a day trip to a volcano or other sights is hours each way.

    Great town great beach.

    Great town great beach. Good supermarkets and friendly people in general. We met some locals through some friends and we were made to feel at home quite quickly. Nice place. Go to the Burger Window, (Google it) its in an open bar which has a few other eating stalls as well. A great curry shack too. But the burgers at Burger Window really are SUPERB. The service is quite non committal. There are few smiles and you can get put off by that. But listen, the burgers are worth the grief. Also try the crepes both savory and sweet at the little Ahora Si shop and then try the big Ahora Si restaurant further up the street. Both owned by the same family. Both very good choices. Ask for Antonio at the little Ahora Si crepe place

    It is a good place to find a restaurant and nightlife.

    It is a good place to find a restaurant and nightlife. There are much nicer beaches close by if you are looking to enjoy the water and a nice sunset. Unfortunately the rising costs in Costa Rica are making it less desirable to visit. It is getting run down in many areas and the costs are climbing dramatically.

    Nosara is apparently one of the most expensive places in Central America, more expensive than the rest of Costa Rica, and the vibe is a bit weird - lots of wealthy travelers, $9 drip coffee, middle-aged white people mostly and lots of second-home mansions. We went to yoga at a resort that was $600/night and that seemed like no big deal for most of the American clients. However once we got to know the locals, learned to eat at local "sodas" instead, and realized the beach break is fantastic for surfing and protected so there's no beach vendors or beach bars, we had a great time. It's not a backpackers town, but it is very safe.

    The resort was nice, pool was refreshing. No premium drinks, a bottle of Crown was $90, and only 1 brand of beer. The food at the buffet wasn't the greatest. Fish was dry, salad dressings were odd or just oil and vinegar. One day I had a poached egg and the yolk was hard and the whites were runny. French toast was hard and tough on the outside and soggy on the middle. You could only eat in the specialty restaurants once for every 3 days of stay.

    We stayed at Hotel Velero right off the beach in Playa Hermosa. It was relatively quiet (in the best way!) compared to the neighboring Playa del Coco. The beach was clean, the sand was soft, and the temperature was great. We saw dolphins and great sea birds from breakfast at Hotel Velero. We also had dinner at Roberto's and La Casita del Marisco. I would highly recommend Playa Hermosa to everyone and would love to return!

    Playa Flamingo is an awesome destination, with a Marina, convenient nearby restaurants, grocery stores, beaches that will blow your mind. The people are friendly and love their country and culture. They are very proud of who they are and their culture which is family oriented. The food is the best and you have a varied selection of restaurants from beach side to the top of the mountain with scenic view you will never forget. What a wonderful county I would live there. We visited in May the beginning of the rainy season, however I believe it was the best time. The country comes alive, green and lush. The beached, restaurants are not overcrowded, if you have a rain shower it's gentle and mostly in the evening. My wife & I will definitely return. We met several Americans that have visited Playa Flamingo several times, then decided to live there. I'm telling you, go there, you will not regret a moment. We stayed at Splendor 360, which is I believe the highest accommodations in the area. Splendor 360's condos are amazing with views as they say, 360 degrees from the marina to the beaches. Thank you, Costa Rica, for one of the vacations we have experienced. Les & Linda Harris

    I was in Potrero for 3 nights alone on business. The location is quite and off the tourist map. There are a few local restaurants and bars, but not a lot going on. Its a great place to get away and relax, but pretty remote from all of the major destinations. There are other even more remote beaches just north of here that are worth visiting, so a few days here can be worth it.
