Travelers beware! Don’t be fooled by the location! We were looking for a last minute stay near downtown Tamarindo. This hotel on Expedia is located .89 miles from Tamarindo Beach. HOWEVER, it is NOT even close. After we booked and plugged in the hotel into Waze, it was a 40 minute drive because there is a body of water separating the hotel from Tamarindo. Unless you plan to swim to downtown, it is misleading!!!!!! We were really looking forward to staying at this property, I’m sure it’s lovely but after driving for hours from the San Jose area at night there was no way we were driving another 40 unanticipated minutes. I cancelled FIVE mi after reserving and Expedia said they “tried” to contact the hotel numerous times but wasn’t able to get my money back. MONEY GRAB - also beware!!!

Perfect Ending to our trip!

We initially booked the Grateful Hotel for one night but ended up extending our stay to two nights because we loved it so much! The staff was incredibly welcoming and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed—they were genuinely some of the most helpful people we’ve encountered. The atmosphere was fantastic, with fun and friendly people, great food and drinks, and an overall lively vibe, especially at the pool and bar. The location is also a major plus—just a short walk to a beautiful beach and a few quaint spots to grab a bite to eat. While the hotel isn’t fancy, it was clean and absolutely perfect for what we were looking for. If you’re after a laid-back, fun, and welcoming place to stay, the Grateful Hotel is a great choice. Highly recommended!
