The service and staff were very nice and helpful for suggestions and booking cars/outings. The hotel was cute and across street from beach access. The downside for our family was the noise/sound from the local clubs - it was very loud until late on weekends but a bit better on weekdays.

Close to it all

Hotel Mar Ray was a neat little hotel with a great pool area and decent sized rooms very close to beach and all bars, restaurants and mini supermarkets. Enjoyed our stay although it is getting a little dated which we weren’t concerned about.

Hotel Mar Rey is in a great location. Close to beach, restaurants and bars and shopping. The pool and surroundings are beautiful. Hacienda style. The ranch kitchen by the pool was great. You could buy groceries and cook them on site. Andrey and staff were extremely helpful.

Very enjoyable, excellent location

The hotel is affordable, comfortable and in a prime location in Tamarindo. You can walk to the beach and all of the shops and restaurants in the area within minutes. This isn’t a resort, but has everything you need if you enjoy spending the majority of your time enjoying the beach, town, culture, and being more independent than a resort setting. The pool is a very nice spot to come back to and is a lovely setting, also has an outdoor cooking area if you want to prepare some of your own meals. They will also help you book tours/experiences as well if you aren’t as independent when traveling internationally. Staff were very kind and felt like good friends by the time we left!

We stayed here for a week in March and it was fantastic! The staff were INCREDIBLE, they live on site and they have a few pet dogs that free roam the property. It has a beautiful pool and is conveniently located right in the main area of town and literally just STEPS to the ocean. You’ll notice the reviews mention how noisy the hotel is because of its location and it definitely is noisy but it really didn’t bother us because we played so hard during the day we crashed hard at night and most of the bars and parties in the area wrapped up between 10pm-midnight. We would choose to stay here again, hands down.

We stayed for seven days at this lovely hotel. Staff was very friendly and helpful in booking transport to and from airport and our sunset cruise. We had a king bed that was comfortable. The hotel is right in the center of the action and across the street from the beach. The pool area was very cute, and the water was refreshing from the sun. It can get very noisy at night but a couple of more of margaritas helped to drown out the noise. Overall would recommend staying here.

I recently stayed at this hotel and overall, it was an okay experience. The room was somewhat clean—not spotless, but acceptable for a short stay. Had the basic amenities. Bonus for having a fridge and microwave in the room. The staff were generally friendly and helpful, no major complaints there. There were a couple of issues worth noting: One, there were holes in the window screens, which allowed bugs to get in, and two, the main door didn’t fully meet the floor, leaving a gap that allowed critters to come inside. These are small but important details that really affect comfort. On the positive side, the area around the hotel was nice and peaceful, which added to the overall relaxation of the trip. The shared kitchen and outdoor barbecue space was a great feature and made the place feel more social and convenient. It would’ve been even better if charcoal had been provided—or even better, if they had a gas barbecue to eliminate the need for charcoal altogether. If you’re not too picky and just need a simple place to stay, this hotel is a decent option, especially if you plan to enjoy the outdoor features. With a few upgrades, it could be a much better experience

Great location but busy.

A lovely hotel right in the heart of Tamarindo. Across the street from great restaurants, and just a very short walk to the beach. Unfortunately it rain the entire time we were here, but that’s the rainy season. and of course, what sounded like gunshots at 3 AM.
