The position was excellent, just across the road from the beach and within easy walking distance of all the shops and restaurants. It's also placed away from the busy street so its very quiet. The hotel has beautiful gardens and an amazing and clean pool. Linen, sheets and towels in bad need of replacing. The guy behind the reception desk... More

Good location just across the road from the beach. Our 1st mistake was paying for our room before we looked at it. The 1st room the bed was full of hair. The 2nd room we tried the sheets were wore right thru....mostly held together by threads and garbage on the floor.tried to get our money back and had a tough... More

We only stayed 2 nights thankfully. They didn't have our reservations the staff was very unfriendly rooms very dirty, broken tiles in the bathroom, the hotel as a whole was not maintained. No restaurant the use to be bar was rusted and falling apart. If the staff had been friendly it wouldn't have been easier to take. Yes it was... More

Stayed for 7 days in late November during low season when it was nearly empty. Pros: Price = $50/ day w/ bkfst; Location close to the beach. Large clean pool. Cons: Service & amenities - It's no Ritz Carlton, but you can't beat it for the money. Rooms are basic, grounds are nice. Would definitely recommend it for anyone looking... More

I went to Costa Rica with a group from my church. There were about 26 of us split between about 9 rooms. The rooms varied from completely fine (my room) to somewhat run down. There were ants in some of the rooms, but they didn't seem to bother anyone. When we first arrived, one room had a broken AC unit.... More

I stayed here for 7 days I found it very relaxing and quiet compared to the bustle of Tamarindo. The room was basic yet cosy and clean and with all the amenities like AC and Wifi. The surroundings are tranquil and relaxing and if you are luck you get to hear the owner sing some opera at breakfast !!

Hello All Yes I was one out of meny that got stranded by the ash claud from island. and because I couldn't go home I had to find a hotel that was both central, good and low priced, and I can only say the tropicana is all that. it helps if you speak spanish because most of the help doesn't... More

We arrived there because the taxi from Tamarindo Airport drove us there. From the outside the place looks nice and more expensive than what really is. When we enter the reception is very basic and ugly. The price for a room for 2 was USD 40 with breakfast included. For 2 rooms (1 person per room) we got a price... More

For my first time down in Playa Giuones, which was not only a beautiful place all on it own, Hotel Tropicana was the icing on the cake. Being a tiny bit further from the beach than all of the other 'surfer' hotels, it was nice to escape and relax between sessions. We had room #4, which was the furthest from... More
