having spent almost two weeks in CR, I was used to bugs. but not bugs everywhere in the room - on the bathroom countertops, on my towel, or on my face and pillow when i’m asleep, especially for a 4 star hotel. poor water pressure. the water also had a yellow tint and the bathroom/faucets smelled like rotten eggs that permeated throughout the room. the clean towels and sheets had hair in them. the mattress was lumpy and uncomfortable. the location was close to town, but even the hotel manager told me not to walk alone at night on the dirt road leading back to the hotel. i’m used to inconveniences while traveling but for the price, i expected much better.

Nice clean rooms, friendly staff, and the breakfast was perfect. It's close to several restaurants, bars, cafes, and a grocery store. The beach and the main strip in Tamarindo are about a 10-15 min walk but we liked this as it kept it very quiet in the room. We stayed for 5 days without a car and did not feel we needed one.

Felt more like a bed and breakfast than a hotel, which was a nice surprise. Definitely recommend

Our room was infested with black ants that were coming thru the space between the glass and wall. Tried to get another hotel that night but all was booked elsewhere.
The room was dated. Best part of the stay was the breakfast.

The name is fitting...charming! We thoroughly enjoyed our time at La Ramona. The hotel is tucked away in a neighborhood away from the main strip, which is what we wanted. The staff were friendly and helpful. The communal kitchen had everything we needed, including a made-to-order breakfast every morning. Our room had an outside bathtub and shower on a private patio. It was very quaint and romantic. We enjoyed our stay and would go back. Thank you!

Small charming hotel, as the name suggests. Rooms are spacious and hotel has a swimming pool centrally located in the centre. The best part of the rooms was the bed, which was one of the most comfortable I’ve slept on. Daily housekeeping.

Hotel is in a quiet area, which we appreciated, especially when the bars were rocking, but still walkable to the centre of town and the beach.

The only meal option is breakfast, served between 08:00 and 10:00, and made to order.

Pavel, the manager, was kind, helpful, and able to help us with anything we needed. The breakfast and property had a comfortable home-vibe, and felt like we were relaxing at a quaint oasis. The property is off the main strip so is a little quieter if you are there to relax or just want to be away from the hustle and bustle. The outside patio with the bathtub and shower was the highlight! It's hard to find a nice relaxing bathtub anywhere. The breakfast was traditional Costa Rican, and it was nice to have a friendly chat with Pavel. We will definitely be back (=

Pictures look nicer than it really is

Overall, the accommodation was OK. We were surprised that it was rated exceptional, due to the fact that the overall condition of the place was outdated. On a positive side, the manager was very kind and helpful. The air conditioning was strong, and we had a good breakfast everyday. In terms of areas for improvement, Everything felt really old and worn. The towels were old and pilling. The bed sheets were also old. The shower was somewhat moldy, and the drain did not work well. We had to stand in about 2 inches of water after showering. See picture. There were also ants in the room. Personally, I would recommend going elsewhere if you can afford a little bit more or live further away from the downtown area of Tamarindo.

Charming B&B

Nice small B&B, walkable distance to the beach and restaurants. Nice people running the hotel. Outdoor tub was fantastic but leaking..., decor was very cute, and they have two most welcoming doggies on site. Check in was smooth, even though I booked on the same day, the lady was very well prepared for my arrival.

They forgot to clean the coffee machine tho, so mold inside... I didn’t need them to clean the room but I was hoping they would at least replace the towels. Toilet doesn’t flush well. Hot water runs out also. Very good AC inside the room. Wi-Fi was very good also. Breakfast was charming.

I stayed here after a spiritual & wellness retreat in a nearby town, so I wanted to stay for a few days in Tamarindo in a quiet and private place where I can decompress and relax before returning home, and I have found it here!
La Ramona Charming Hotel has just 5 rooms all facing a courtyard with a pool in a quiet residential area just a short walk to the beach and main retail/restaurant strip of Tamarindo (away from the noise and traffic). My room was very comfortable with tall vaulted ceilings, your own porch with seating, a nice modern layout, and a large bathroom with a unique shower that opens out to your own outdoor space (good for drying your towels and swimsuits).
Mariana, the hotel owner is such a sweetheart! So friendly and charming (the hotel should be called Mariana Charming Hotel!). She made me a satisfying breakfast every morning which was a great start to the day. Lisa, Mariana's dog is very sweet and friendly. She would often greet me with excitement when I return through the main entrance/gate and would say hi to me if I'm in the pool or the dining patio.
Mariana took good care of me while I was there which made my stay so much more enjoyable. I highly recommend staying here if you are looking for peace and quiet at a good value.
Thank you, Mariana! Pura Vida!

This hotel is in desperate need of renovations. The furniture including the bed was not in good condition. It did not seem clean. Our towels were stained and the sliding front door was broken. The lady at the front desk barely talked to us during the check in, we didn’t feel welcome. The breakfast however was good.
I can’t believe I read so many great reviews about this property. My husband and I had to leave after the first night. Would not recommend it.

Little gem!

We stayed here twice in two different rooms which were both excellent. Marianna is an excellent hostess and you feel instantly at home. The hotel only has 5 rooms all individually designed with outdoor patio areas.there is a decent size swimming pool set in the middle.private outdoor rainforest showers open to the sky are a great feature, as is the outdoor bath in bedroom 5. A substantial healthy breakfast is served in a pretty terrassed area every morning and to order.The hotel is just up the road from the main drag in tamarindo. Excellent as you actually get a decent nights sleep compared to most places in town where it is quite noisy st night, but is only 5 minutes walk if you enjoy that. Our only regret is that we did not find Marianna and her lovely mum sooner or we definitely would of stayed there longer. I always prefer to put my money in smaller intimate hotel who have a personal service and not multi corporate ones where you are just a number . Price/ value ratio is excellent .what r u waiting for?

Our family of four spent 3 nights in the family suite.

The hotel is quiet, private and like an Oasis.
