nice hotel, very nice staff and Richard, the owner, is taking care of everything (we booked a trip that started at 6.45 am and Richard was there to bring us coffee and some breakfast !). It's a 5 - 10 minutes walk to downtown (not dangerous but pretty dark).

Absolutely beautiful.   Richard has done an amazing job revitalizing Hotel Arco Iris and I cannot say enough positive words about the hotel. The staff is incredibly friendly, the food is delicious and the décor is stunning. It is set back away from the busy main street but walking distance to the beach. The hotel could not be more inviting... More

While this place is little bit of away from the beach, but its very well maintained. The decor is contemporary and the hotel located in a nice garden atmosphere. The owner is friendly and gives you good advise. Kids loved in inhouse pool and had fun feeding the colorful birds in wild during breakfast. The restaurant (Seasons by Shlomi) is... More

Hotel Arco Iris is fabulous. My husband and I just got back from staying 8 days in Tamarindo. Richard and Iveth arranged our transportation to and from the airport and all of our excursions. We ate dinner at Seasons twice during our stay. It is defiitely the best food you can get in Tamarindo. Some other good restaurants we ate... More

I visited Costa Rica for the first time in November, 2011 with a friend of mine and before we even got down the stairs Richard greeted us and said, "you must be Kathy". He helped us bring in our luggage, invited us to have a beverage and cool down and asked what we wanted to do for the week as... More

My son and I stayed here for a surfing trip based on Trip Advisor reviews. They were extremely accurate. This is a great place to stay and very well priced. The key, as stated by many reviewers, is Richard, the owner. He will help you with anything. And Yvette who helps him at the front desk has the same attitude.... More

Enjoyed staying here. A fridge in the room is important to us and here was the only accomodation we had in Costa Rica that provided it. The rooms were of a clean, modern standard. A good choice not far from the town centre and beach. Recommended.

I enjoyed my stay here. I'm an easy-going traveler and and am very low maintenance. I don't usually eat dinner/lunch at hotels but the first night i did and was pleasantly surprised. Pros: - The rooms were extremely clean - The location of the hotel is just off the beaten path so my friend and I rented bikes and were... More

Richard, Yvette, and the breakfast and cleaning staffs are wonderful. This hotel is a perfect combination of quality, service, attention to detail and making guests feel at home. We loved it there and the restaurant at night is amazing. Can't say enough about it. We will back next year.
