Hotel Boruca Tamarindo

The rooms are small but OK standard. Shower head was nasty, I hope the owners will replace such a cheap thing. Price was a bit high for the standard. Easy quick check-in and friendly staff. Breakfast was very tasty. AC & fan in the roof both working.

The Hotel Boruca is an older hotel, but very well maintained. The rooms and premises were clean. A highlight of our stay was the excellent and friendly service of the manager/owner Marascio, the breakfast waitress, and the waiters in the restaurant. Speaking of food, the breakfasts were delicious--and oh how wonderful the food was in the restaurant. The hotel is located close to a grocery store, banks, and the beach. We enjoyed our stay there and would recommend the Hotel Boruca to others.

Great hotel in the center of Tamarindo. Breakfast was delicious. The room was clean. Angelo was happy to answer our questions. The pool and the garden is well maintained. Room a a busy street but we were able to sleep welll anyway without to much noise.

So-so visit Was there 4 nights with wife and daughter. Had lots of fun in pool. Rooms were small and bathroom very narrow. The room had A/C which worked great. Hot water was great in bathroom. I arrived early and was given an early check-in which was very much appreciated. The only downside was that we paid for hotel and for breakfast prior to arriving at hotel. Our last day there we were told that our payment was declined (not true as we paid for it all on credit card weeks prior). Everything was eventually settled however, it is very frustrating having to prove you prepaid for everything only to still be told "No, that's not correct". This encounter pissed me off for the entire day. I still recommend coming here just maybe not prepay your bill untill you actually checkout.

This hotel has so much potential!! The air conditioning was not working in the original tiny stuffy bedroom with a really narrow bathroom you could barely move in. They came in to see if they could get it going but to no avail. Thank goodness the nice man who checked me in moved me to a much more spacious accommodation (which at the price I paid should I have received in the first place!) The room was really great and had all the amenities and more but the overall cleanliness was poor. The shower stone wall and floors and tap fixtures looked like they have never been scrubbed and cleaned ever. I was concerned about my feet so wire my sandals. The cooking and eating utensils had food stuck to them and the countertop kitchen appliances were . I never saw housekeeping nor was my room attended to. They wanted me to go back to the hot room overlooking the busy street but I refused as it was unbearabley hot. The lady (I presume owner or manger) allowed me to stay the second room but you could tell she was very unhappy about it. It was a bigger and better accommodation but again, for the price I paid I think it was fair. I will say the breakfast was good and the young man who served me both mornings was very friendly and sweet. He made the stay much better by his kindness. They are lucky to have him on their staff.

The people managing the property are fantastic. Very friendly and quite helpful! The included breakfast is very good. The pool is a great way to get away from the busy beach. The property is a bit older but it’s well cared for. If you don’t like this property then you probably won’t like any property even if you spend way more money. Thanks for our enjoyable stay!!
