Hotels near Monkey Park

"We had an amazing time at Epic Tamarindo. Arnold and Emma were true professionals. They booked every tour for us, and made sure we were at the best restaurants. The daily breakfast poolside were so yummy, everyone had something they loved and every morning was a little different. Would highly recommend this place."

"Right on the main road and the windows and walls are super thin. Motorcycles racing up and down the road until 1am. We were under the restaurant and every chair that gets moved you can hear as ifd it's in your room. AC shut off in the middle of the night. The place is extremely loud. We actually left and found a different hotel for our 2nd nights stay! Could hear a baby cry for hours multiple rooms down"

"wish there was a fridge, coffee pot and microwave. Staff and food was amazing!! Definitely will come back."

"From the moment we arrived at the hotel, the staff were super unfriendly & not helpful. They did not make eye contact. We asked several staff members where we could find towels & they could only point towards the massive pool. The beach is completely full of people selling things like nothing I’ve ever seen & the vendors are very aggressive in soliciting you. The pool is extremely uninviting with cups and trash left around the pool and the bathroom unusable because it was so dirty. This hotel does not meet normal Westin standards. Thankfully we were able to move to the W next door where everything was wonderful, clean & the staff were amazing and friendly. Rosa made the moving process extremely difficult since she was trying to charge us twice after we were told we would get a full refund for the Westin. Luckily, it was straightened out by the helpful staff at the W. During our stay at the W, we ran into guests of the Westin who were buying day passes at the W for all of the same reasons as noted above - right down to the towels,"

"Room and area around the hotel is always clean and maintained properly by staff. Especially Felix who is always around to help if needed. This is a rustic hotel and many locals from in and around Costa Rica come to visit and stay. It’s welcoming and comforting if that’s the vibe you are after. There are many noises. Roosters all day every day, doesn’t matter the time of day. Birds. And lots of them. Then you have the busy intersection, there are Sodas (local restaurants) in the area behind the hotel, and the gives a vibe of liveliness. Which I didn’t mind at all, it added to the experience of Pura Vida. The proximity to everything you need and want is within walking distance. "

"Air conditioner broke and no attempt made to fix it or offer us another room. Complained two times. Sewage smell in bathroom in room. Noisy drunk with broken car alarm in front of room. We just had attended my wife’s brother ‘s funeral but were too exhausted to look for another room which may have been impossible. Photos are an ‘enhanced’ presentation of hotel. Finally, price doubled for Easter week. "

"Clean property with a nice community pool. It is a bit of a walk/drive to end beach or beach club but we felt safe at the property. "

"It’s a locals hotel and as I have 30 years experience here I’m used to the Tico way of life. With that said clients need to know a couple of things- the music starts at 8 am and runs until 8 at night. It is well known that if one buys a drink in the bar, this allows you to swim. When we were there a small bus with about 30 Ticos arrived and proceeded to get severely drunk and violating all the pool rules. "

"Pool was fantastic after a long hot day. Shirley, owner is lovely and very hospitable. "
