The hotel is right on the beach and surrounded by shops, restaurants, and bars. The room was cute and quirky. The bathroom is extremely small and cramped… not appropriate for more than one person at a time… but that was the only real downside for us. The bed was large and comfortable and the air conditioner worked great! It was a great choice for us… we stayed 5 nights and filled our days with excursions and hanging at the beach and the many bar options close by.

Rolando was an amazing host and very accommodating. The real hidden treasure at this hotel was the STAFF. They were polite, helpful, and a pleasure to visit with. I highly recommend this hotel for it's location and the price. Already planning my next trip back to Hotel La Palapa.

We celebrated my husband’s birthday at Playa Tamarindo early May. We were very please with everything related to Hotel La Palapa. It’s a treat to be able to stay at a beachfront hotel and walk to the beach. We were also pleased with Rolando the hotel manager. He was very friendly and gave us good recommendations. Ana, the cleaning lady was also wonderful. We hope to return someday soon. We live in CR, and our drive is almost 5 hours and this hotel makes it very much worthwhile. We had been in Tamarindo once in ten years and we had forgotten how beautiful and big it was.

Our room was great and only a few feet from the beach. Our hosts Audrey and Orlando were very helpful and answered all our questions. The restaurant located next to the hotel was great and Gio was an excellent waiter.

The place is nice but not a 5 star. I would definitely come back. There’s no pool but it’s on the beach which is big plus. Overall we were please

We had a wonderful experience! The staff was very friendly and accommodating. Our room was newly renovated, had a large bathroom with two sinks, and all the necessary amenities (AC, fridge, TV, desk) plus an ocean view. The property is amazing as it’s on the beach with a private space for guests that includes hammocks, lots of chairs, tables, and wonderful massage therapists who were on-site every day! Having a restaurant and bar on the property is also convenient. Making the experience magical was waking up to all the wonderful bird songs each morning and being able to watch the sunset every night…The only downside was that there wasn’t a purified water refilling station.

Really awesome hotel in a perfect location - steps away from the sand but just private enough that you feel comfortable leaving things on the front patio. Staff was wonderful and accommodating!
