Hotel Boruca Tamarindo

We loved staying at this quaint hotel easy walking distance to the beach. The breakfast is amazing and made fresh while we were sitting and enjoying our coffee. The staff is friendly and helpful and we really enjoyed having the two cats to interact with while we were there. Our room air conditioner had an issue and they did their best to fix it even though it was on a weekend. Checking in and checking out was super easy. Staff speaks English. Do not miss the amazing Italian restaurant that is at the very front of this hotel. The food is Michelin quality they had 25 specials and that did not include the full menu. I was traveling with two women friends and we highly recommend this quaint friendly hotel!

The staff was very friendly and always happy to help. It’s very jungle vibes with all the greenery inside the hotel courtyard area. It’s a very convenient location because there are many restaurants around and a grocery store. The beach is only a 7 min walk. The hotel offers a really nice breakfast selection with some traditional Costa Rican breakfast options as well as very fresh fruit. I was also able to book tours at the reception and they help with transportation as well. Overall a great experience 10/10 recommend.

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

The building is a unique design, round. The rooms are very clean and the staff excellent. We enjoyed a complimentary breakfast that was delicious. It was noisy at night however, lots of street noise.

Hotel Boruca is an amazing place to stay in Tamarindo. It is located just off the main streets so everything is easily accessible and walkable but not in the center of it so you can enjoy some peace and quiet. The rooms are a bit outdated and run down but the staff is extremely friendly and helpful. We had breakfast included in our stay and it was simple but tasty. They were extremely accommodating and tend to your every need. We didn’t spend much time indoors except to sleep and shower. Definitely recommend staying here for a reasonable price and access to the hot spots.

Was there 4 nights with wife and daughter. Had lots of fun in pool. Rooms were small and bathroom very narrow. The room had A/C which worked great. Hot water was great in bathroom. I arrived early and was given an early check-in which was very much appreciated. The only downside was that we paid for hotel and for breakfast prior to arriving at hotel. Our last day there we were told that our payment was declined (not true as we paid for it all on credit card weeks prior). Everything was eventually settled however, it is very frustrating having to prove you prepaid for everything only to still be told "No, that's not correct". This encounter pissed me off for the entire day. I still recommend coming here just maybe not prepay your bill untill you actually checkout.

Room was clean and staff was fantastic.

We enjoyed our stay very much. This property is beautiful and the staff and owners are very friendly and accompanying. The hotel is within walking distance to downtown and the beach. There is the best French baker just up the road. Will definitely stay again.

Terrible place to stay. DO NOT STAY HERE! It is honestly a safety concern. The bathroom of our room stopped working so maintenance came to fix it and they let us change rooms. This morning we had all of our belongings. We securely lock the rooms before every time we left. The next morning when we were leaving we realized FOUR LAPTOPS WERE MISSING AND CASH. Nothing was out in the open, they were all secured in our backpacks. We were furious and very scared and we talked to the owners. We NEVER took our laptops outside of our room, and yet they were yelling at us that they didn't do it, and that their employees never would. It sounded like they were defending themselves, instead of trying to help us. We told them to question their employees... because who else?.. and instead of sayin yes they just would yell at us at how they have the best employees who would never. You never know. There is NO cameras (why would you not have cameras at a hotel) or proper security to show the police it was them, but keep in mind the property is very small so you can see almost anything from the front desk. They said such rude things to us. He said "I don't think you locked your door properly," "I don't know who you brought around here," and "I don't know maybe you took your laptop to the beach and now you are blaming us," and worst "My laptop is always at the front desk. Why didn't someone steal mine?" Worst experience in my life and scary too especially as 4 women. We know the staff of the hotel stole from us, because our doors were ALWAYS locked but unfortunately we have no proof.
