Our room was immaculate and absolutely lovely! Our single bungalow had a hammock as well. Beautiful setting close to many wonderful restaurants. We enjoyed a delicious breakfast every morning which was included. Spent 11 days at Hotel Acro Iris and highly recommend it. Christian is a conscientious waiter who does an excellent job. Carlos one of the concierges went way overboard to help us and ensure our stay was perfect. He is a wonderful and extremely polite young man!!

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.
