10/10 Exceptional

We had a great time staying in our bungalow at Hotel Arco Iris! The staff was super friendly and accommodating for our entire stay. The bungalow felt like our own little piece of luxury, and the hotel is located close to downtown Tamarindo but is a short walk away which gives it a nice sense of privacy.

Peaceful retreat close to the beach

We loved our stay ! The property is small and very peaceful, tucked into the jungle a bit away from the downtown - but still only a short walk to the beach. We loved the pool and daily breakfast. Would definitely stay again.
