My friend and I went for a long weekend (we lived in Nicaragua at the time) and took a TransNica bus to hang out in Playa Tamarindo. We walked around and checked out all of the hotels before deciding where we would stay. We were mostly drawn to this one because of the price -- it was really decent. The... More

This was my 7th year at El Milagro, and it is showing it's age! For the first time, I met the owner and asked him how old the hotel was. I was expecting him to answer 30-40 years old and was shocked when he said it was built 20 years ago. The problems we had overshadowed the great location and... More

After staying in nice hotels (both simple and luxurious, all booked by our travel agency) we ended our vacation in Costa Rica at El Milagro. We expected a lot after seeing the site, the hotel was also recommended in the Rough Guide. But the good days of this hotel are clearly over. We were met by a friendly but strange... More

+ Nice and friendly staff, ok breakfast, free wifi in lobby, the beach is just across the road, sporadic hot water. Good stay for backpackers. - Filthy, rundown and dirty. The pictures on their website are lightyears from the real thing. I was screwd pretty good by a travel agent that recommended the place, but I think it's pretty chap.... More

We stayed our first night in Tamarindo at El Milagro because of it's proximity to restaurants, shopping and nightlife, as well as for the charming cottage-style bungalows surrounded by lush tropical flowers. The price was economical, and the room was comfortable and roomy, with air conditioning, television, a safe for our valuables and plenty of space. We could have paid... More

Breakfast was very very bad, it was dry, right away from the microwave, with no taste. The location was great, just right next to the beach and in the centre. Loads of ants in the bathroom, that was kind of a pity. Staff was very friendly and happy! On the whole it was ok, but not super..!

This is my third stay at El Milagro with high school spanish club trips since 2006. The tour company booked us at El Milagro so we were given no choice as to where we were staying. Since our first visit the hotel, rooms and grounds have greatly deteriorated. The first room we were given didn't have a working lock on... More

The hotel was chosen for us by our travel company. Since it was quite cheap we didn´t expect much. Upon arrival we were devistated by the condition of the room. It was dirty, smelly and banged up. After dinner in a nice restaurant we were greeted by thousands of ants (we didn´t have any food - so that could not... More
