I'm writing this review about ten days after our stay in this hotel, but we still keep very good souvenirs about it. The hotel is located in a beautiful garden full of trees and wildlife and also located just the other side of the street of the beach. The room was clean and nice, there is a kitchen when everyone...

Warning: NO hot water. If you can handle that, this place is a good find though. It is right across from the beach (which is beautiful) and within walking distance of a few restaurants. Good if you are there for surfing. Rooms are simple and beds are old, but they do have A/C. A good place to stay if you... More

We arrived in Tamarindo without reservations, pulled out our travel book and made a call to Cabinas Marielos. The rooms were exactly as our travel book (Fordor's) had said: clean, spartan rooms with no hot water. The court yard/garden was beautiful and we enjoyed the patio area of our room at night to play some games. The common kitchen was... More

We were shown two rooms which were totally unsuitable and finally settled for a third (the hour was really getting late).

There were little squirrels, big blue birds, and lizards running around the garden, which I found enchanting. Our room was small but had a fridge, which was very handy. The only glitch, in my opinion, was that all their... More

We struggled to find a place to stay in Tamarindo, but we were traveling around the Christmas holiday, so that made sense. We were trying to save some money, and now I know we will never repeat that mistake. We checked in and exchanged glances when we saw the nasty sheets on the mattress, but headed to the beach deciding... More

I had a great experience at Cabinas Marielos. I booked the rooms through an outside booking site ----- - DO NOT USE THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!), and when I arrived at the hotel found that the booking agency had not made the reservation. The people at Cabinas Marielos were awesome. We arrived on New Years Eve with a group of 9 people and... More

My friend and I stayed at Cabinas Marielos for 5 nights in April. We stumbled on it by accident after our first choice was booked solid. Boy are we glad we didi! The rooms were small but clean and very cozy. Plus for the price it was worth it! Marielo and the staff made our stay so pleasurable, they were... More
