Playa Negra hotels from RM248

"We had a wonderful stay at Jardín del Edén. The property is very well maintained, with stunning views throughout. The staff were consistently warm, welcoming, and attentive. The food exceeded our expectations. The breakfast buffet offered a nice mix of daily variety along with staples like an egg and waffle station, fresh fruit, bread, and Gallo Pinto. Dinners were fresh, flavourful, and offered great variety over the course of our stay. We also enjoyed several of the wellness activities, including yoga, sound healing, and salsa lessons. All were well organized and suitable for all experience levels. The location is excellent, right in the heart of Tamarindo. It was easy to walk to shops, a grocery store, and the Thursday night moonlight market. Overall, a relaxing and enjoyable stay. We will definitely be back!"

"The resort offers a great location - One hour from the airport, walking distance to the village and marina, right on the beautiful beach. Kids enjoyed making custom drinks at the bar, and loved the beach (no seaweed, clean white sand, amazing sunset every nights). Good food but limited selection. It’s a small cozy property with one pool and pretty much one restaurant. All inclusive was a way to go as everything at the resort is overpriced otherwise. Live music every night but not much else for other entertainment. Staff is excellent. We enjoyed our stay but for that money we could have stayed in a 5 star Mexican resort, but this beach was better than any Mexican beach we visited on both coasts. "

"Nice property grounds and access to the beach"

"I recently stayed at Occidental Tamarindo and overall found the experience underwhelming. There were a few positives. The resort is close to the beach, making it easy to enjoy the ocean. The pool area was nice, and it was never difficult to find a chair. The resort is smaller, so it didn’t feel overly crowded. We also arrived a few hours early, and staff allowed us to store our bags and use the pool and restaurant while we waited, which was appreciated. Unfortunately, the negatives outweighed the positives. The food was bland and repetitive, with limited options at the buffet. The policy of only being able to book à la carte restaurants once every three days felt very restrictive. The room had several issues. The shower flooded the bathroom floor due to overspray, and the drain did not work properly. Staff cleaned the water but never fixed the drain. On top of that, even with the AC on full power, the room stayed very hot and uncomfortable to sleep in. Service around the pool was lacking. There’s no swim-up bar, and getting drinks meant waiting in line. No staff came around to take orders. The gym also needed maintenance, as several machines were not working properly. Overall, I was not impressed. I would rate it 2 stars and would not return."

"Love this place!"

"Great location. Lovely breakfast. Friendly staff"

"I had a severe accident off the property and the staff couldn’t been nice n helpful Paradise despite the accident Highly recommend"

"Amazing property! Suites were beautiful, staff friendly, incredible food and dining with great activities from the beach! Highly recommend! Only one comment is that I wish the pool off of lobby was open to teens and not a topless optional pool to give more options instead of the family pool that got a bit crowded. "

"Room lacked charging facility at bed, door falling off hinges, everything else great"
