Love the boutique feel of the hotel. Everyone knew our name and it was a wonderful experience. Much preferred over the busy side of tamarindo.

Hotel Cantarana and its staff are truly what made our Costa Rica trip so enjoyable. From before we even checked in, their staff was helpful and responsive regarding check in. After checking in, our room was clean and amenities were amazing! We are already planning for our return to Hotel Cantarana!

Access to the hotel is down a dirt road and through a gate. The area felt very safe and quite with not much traffic. This hotel is part of a sister hotel of maybe 5 rooms that is a short walk away to get to the main office. Staff was very responsive and helpful through WhatsApp. The room was comfortable and what I would expect staying in at a nature preserve. Not luxurious if you are used to staying at a big name hotel. Access to the beach is a short walk across from the office. There is a restaurant and coffee shop at the hotel as well as other restaurants and a small market in the surrounding area that is walkable. There is also a small pool on the property. Expect to get woken up by birds or Howler monkeys in the morning. Various animals can be seen walking around the community such as Spider monkeys, coatis, or crabs. It was raining most afternoons while we were there but we did get the pleasure of a seeing the beautiful sunset at least once during our stay. I also got to see fireflies for my first time and it was amazing. This was a great place to stay if you are looking for a quite area without the hoards of people and shops like in Tamarindo. But if you want to visit Tamarindo you can walk down the beach and take an inexpensive short boat ride to Tamarindo which was much more convenient than trying to drive there.

Das Hotel und die Umgebung ist ideal zum Entspannen und die Natur genießen. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich. Es gibt 3 Möglichkeiten zum Essen in der Nähe. Playa Grande ist herrlich. Wer mehr Trubel braucht, kann zu Fuß und mit einem günstigen Boottaxi (1$) nach Tamarindo. Pura vida

Había ido él a.o pasado y la baranda de la piscina estaba floja, sigue igual. La empleada que arregló la habitación dejó la puerta abierta y cuando llegamos en la noche se había metido un pequeño alacrán. Por lo demás excelente.

Amo el hotel siempre me hospedo ahí, el staff es increíble , sin embargo esta vez vi que le faltaba mantenimiento al hotel, el área verde descuidada y la piscina no estaba muy limpia

Room was small but clean and had everything we needed. Staff at the hotel was friendly and very helpful. A great alternative to the crazy hustle and bustle of Tamarindo.
