Close to it all

Hotel Mar Ray was a neat little hotel with a great pool area and decent sized rooms very close to beach and all bars, restaurants and mini supermarkets. Enjoyed our stay although it is getting a little dated which we weren’t concerned about.

Central located in town and walkable. Close to dining and markets.
Beverly, 5-night trip

8/10 Very good

The service and staff were very nice and helpful for suggestions and booking cars/outings. The hotel was cute and across street from beach access. The downside for our family was the noise/sound from the local clubs - it was very loud until late on weekends but a bit better on weekdays.
Heather, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Hotel Mar Rey is in a great location. Close to beach, restaurants and bars and shopping. The pool and surroundings are beautiful. Hacienda style. The ranch kitchen by the pool was great. You could buy groceries and cook them on site. Andrey and staff were extremely helpful.

Proximity of hotel. Staff very friendly. Great place. A must stay when I visit Costa Rica next time

10/10 Exceptional

We enjoyed our stay here! The staff was very friendly and our room was very nice. The property is well maintained. It sits off the Main Street so there is a lot of noise and traffic noise.

Edwin, Andre & staff @ Hotel Mar Rey the very Best

An absolutely amazing stay at Mar Rey! Unforgettable time :) The owners and staff are so welcoming, helpful and charming....you feel right at home before you even arrive on site because they ensure that your entire journey goes splendidly well. I could not have picked a better hotel....I am definitely returning there, but plan to bring my entire family with me next time! :)
Lucie, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Nice place, friendly and helpful staff. The dogs are also just as friendly, polite, well trained, affectionate yet controlled, do not make disruptive noises like barking, whining or anything like that, and provide a sweet welcoming upon the arrival of guests (as far as my experience went as well as what I witnessed). Would stay again

Great location Not so clean bathroom and old furniture Tiny rooms but good outdoor space
Alla, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We stayed for seven days at this lovely hotel. Staff was very friendly and helpful in booking transport to and from airport and our sunset cruise. We had a king bed that was comfortable. The hotel is right in the center of the action and across the street from the beach. The pool area was very cute, and the water was refreshing from the sun. It can get very noisy at night but a couple of more of margaritas helped to drown out the noise. Overall would recommend staying here.
Caroline, 7-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very enjoyable, excellent location

The hotel is affordable, comfortable and in a prime location in Tamarindo. You can walk to the beach and all of the shops and restaurants in the area within minutes. This isn’t a resort, but has everything you need if you enjoy spending the majority of your time enjoying the beach, town, culture, and being more independent than a resort setting. The pool is a very nice spot to come back to and is a lovely setting, also has an outdoor cooking area if you want to prepare some of your own meals. They will also help you book tours/experiences as well if you aren’t as independent when traveling internationally. Staff were very kind and felt like good friends by the time we left!
Brian, 8-night trip

Edwin and Evelyn were amazing managers of the facility. Close to The beach Across the street and all the excitement that the town had to offer

10/10 Exceptional

This is a perfectly placed property right at the heart of all the action. Great access to the beach and restaurants as well as nightlife. Staff was great. Wished the room was bigger and had facecloths.
KENNETH, 8-night trip

6/10 Good

I like the pool, location, and cleanliness. The owners and their family live in the hotel. All their dogs are on site and unrestrained. They bark and awake the guests at night and in the mornings, early. My complaints to the owner were met with shrugs. Sleeping is a problem here. Even time by the delightful pool is disturbed. We stayed on the beach our last few days to get away from the constant barking. It was not like this last year. I love dogs, but I love my sleep and quiet on vacation. I will stay elsewhere when I return to Tamarindo in the future.
Laura, 7-night trip

8/10 Very good

There is no restaurant, bar service, or coffee available. But the patios are comfortable and private and the bed was comfortable.
Denise, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

We had trouble sleeping due to noise from discos and closeness to main road. Very loud until 4am .. The property was left felt and clean and had great pool. Minutes to the beach.
Tara, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great location for access to the beach, dining, shops, banks, tour operators, and all the action. I also loved the large balcony with view of the pool, private courtyard like setting, and outdoor kitchen. the rooms are simple and have all the basics plus small fridge and small microwave. Rooms are spacious and comfortable. Note: The downtown area of Tamarindo is concentrated around one main road and a couple side streets. The entire area can be a bit noisy in the evening until midnight due to the music at open bars, motorcycles, and other motorists. Only the outskirts of the town seemed to be protected from this. It’s quite lively! For in-town options this hotel seemed to be one of the best.
Michael, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Easy fixed needed

Great location has the potential to be fantastic but fell short in many areas. The hotel has no ice. Really? Coffee maker on top of the microwave, no coffee, filters, cups or condiments. Sign over the coffee maker says Microwave is only to be used to reheat coffee and if it used for food that you will be charged $50!! Really? Towel are thin and horrible.
David, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

We stayed here our last night in Costa Rica for proximity to the airport. Wifi was spotty and kept kicking us off, in the rooms you could hear all the outside noises, but the worst issue was the power kept shutting off in the whole hotel. While we were at dinner it shut down 4-5 times. Then when we got back to our room it was constantly flickering on and off, sometimes lasting as long as 2-3min. No power means no AC. We would lose the AC every time the power shut down so it took quite a while for the room to actually cool down. Pools looked nice.
