"The resort is beautiful! Our rooms were clean, well kept, and had a beautiful view of palm trees and the pool. Staff was kind and easily accessible. Highly recommend the Club level- the adult only pool and lounge chairs were a favorite component!"

"Facility and entire staff was so accommodating and hospitable! Dining options were amazing and beautiful beach only added to the experience!"

"The whole place was spotless and staff were wonderful. Usually we stay close to the water but in tamarindo that means being in the noisier part of town. So we opted for this place and used their shuttle to go back and forth. Loved the tranquility, the views of the ocean and the visit from the group of monkeys right at eye level off the back deck. We will definitely be back! "

"The W was spectacular and the food & service was top tier!"

"Great views and very friendly staff. "

"Great location! Excellent breakfast delivered to the room. Easy access to the beach. Pool was nice!"

"Perfect laid back slice of paradise!"

"Santarena is a fabulous hotel where they make you feel at home; whether in the lobby, roof top, or in their spacious and well appointed rooms - some with spectacular ocean views. "

"The property is located just across from a great surf spot. However, there is a bit of a walk through a beautiful Mangrove boardwalk to get there. Just down the road, there's more accessible surf spots that you can drive right up to. The property felt very safe with a gate that was always locked. The house was very spacious and had three king size beds with each bedroom having its own air conditioning and bathroom. The house is a bit dark but I know that Ben is planning to install more lighting. The hot water was a bit hit or miss but honestly given the heat, cold showers felt totally fine. Ben is super responsive and friendly. He's very willing to provide advice for spots to visit around the area. The listing does say that there is washer and dryer but the washer is a bit primitive and you just dry your clothes on the clothesline which was fine as it dried very quickly given the heat. Overall a great stay for our family."
