"great small pool for the kids in the room. All the staff help us with everything, good food, liquor and snacks! Near to a warm beautiful sea, with jet ski and boats to rent!"

"This hotel is located footsteps from the ocean and within walking distance to several restaurants. The hotel offers a bar/grill as well. You can't beat the service; nightly specials (red snapper is amazing)."

"Nice toiletries and even a shower cap. Generously sized guest room with refrigerator. Views of pool from sliding door and personal balcony. Good-sized closet with hangers and shelves."

"Just what we needed--smaller-sized, moderately fancy beach-centric hotel and grounds with VERY good food, amenities, and staff. Loved being right on the beach and swimming out to the tiki-hut raft each morning."

"Tamarindo inn bay boutique is absolutely..."

"We were greeted with drinks and an appetizer which was very welcoming. The rooms are gorgeous and clean with comfortable beds. The staff are very attentive. The concierges are *fantastic."

"It was very convenient with free shuttle..."

"The nearby beach has public access but was never as crowded as some other beaches we visited. The waves are gentle enough for small children to play in without getting knocked over."

"Hot springs area is small but very nice. 3 pools set in a beautiful deck with a volcanic mud pot and showers nearby. The pool and pool bar looked beautiful (it was raining during our visit so we didn’t use)."

"The yard frames the view of sunset over the ocean. Swimming in the calm cove and the long pool is excellent. Open floor plan, sizable kitchen, all the amenities -- easy for folks to be together."

"The hotel is comfortable and the town and beach are awesome. We could see the beach from our balcony!"

"The formerly 4-star resort is open again after almost 3 years. Pool area and garden are perfect again, not all rooms are completely renovated yet. Ours was very nice with beach view, AC and ceiling fan and new TV."

"Really safe area with security guards at night and tons of friendly people. The pool is small but does the trick - seating around it including a couple hammocks (which were very uncomfortable if I am nitpicking)."

"This is a resort mostly for locals - reception speak limited english and there is no concierge. WIFI is also limited mostly to the reception area."

"Beach: I’ve read a lot of negative feedback about this beach but we actually quite enjoyed it. It’s black sand so it’s not the beautiful turquoise water you might expect in a tropical area but it’s still beautiful."

"The Westin Playa Conchal was fantastic. The grounds are beautiful and have tons of wildlife cruising around. The food was surprisingly good being it is an all inclusive resort."

"Temperature tested heading into restaurants. Resort staff masked at all times. Resort was doing a great job trying to protect but also not overstep. Beach: The beach is swimmable."

"Went to this resort in November for a wedding. I'll start by saying this resort and the grounds are beautiful. Rooms are big beds are very comfortable. The staff are very friendly, helpful and pleasant."

"The vibe of the hotel had an island feel with a modern twist. Our room was beautifully appointed and new and clean. The bathroom and shower were oversized which is great when traveling with family."

"The all day Adventure Package (zip lines..."

"Beach faces north, lots of shade with the trees along the beach and sun if the tide is down. Many Costa Ricans come with their family during the weekend. I love that, they are all friendly."

"The pool area is the highlight of the property and has plenty of space and chairs available. The rooms are very spacious and comfortable. The breakfast buffet is fantastic with way too many choices."

"We went to the Kyoto restaurant, which was a nice perk. The drinks are well made, but the glasses are small so consider bringing a larger container and they’ll fill that for you. The pool is very pretty and warm."

"Tapas, an Italian Fish restaurant and Bahia are also available. Architecturally, the resort is light, airy and incredibly beautiful. Rooms are spacious and well thought out."

"I have very mixed feelings about this resort. Pros- we had a 2 bedroom Villa and it was great space for a family of 5, including 3 teens. Plenty of towels, hot water, comfy beds."

"The bathroom was huge, plenty of space in room for luggage, etc. The king bed was very comfortable and the pillows of good quality. A writing desk, mini fridge, and satellite television complete the room."

"Our room also had a very nice view of Tamarindo beach. They provided a shuttle service all day to take you to town and to the Langosta Beach club where you were provided a beach chair and towel."

"I love that the beach was public, you can go out to the beach and buy food or sunglasses and hats from the local vendors. I saw some people walking their chihuahuas on the beach with their little booties."

"The bar tenders were excellent, as were many of our servers. The resort maintains its cleanliness and quiet, both of which we value greatly. In summary, we would probably not return to this resort."

"The hotel is right in front of the black sand Dante beach and it's very quiet. There are couches, tables, benches, swings, and other tiny lounging areas before settling onto the beach."
