Clean rooms, very friendly staff, great location. You're on the beach, but still tucked away and private, best of both worlds! The restaurant that is attached (but not technically part of hotel)is so ridiculously good!! All around hreat experience

This was our second time staying at Lapalapa and we will still continue to come back. You cannot beat the location, wonderful attentive staff and overall experience. The suites are so private and the grounds area feels like your own private getaway in itself. You open your sliding glass doors and are welcomed by lush greenery and swaying palm trees above with the ocean waves crashing in front of you only steps away. Paradise. We will always recommend Lapalapa to everyone going to Tamarindo Costa Rica.

An absolutely superb location in Tamarindo; directly on the beach, walkable to everywhere. Considering the location the room rates are outstanding, and free parking and WiFi are included. Rolando and the staff are fantastic; you feel like family! The older rooms are ready for updating (some rooms have been already); note that the bathrooms in #5, #6, and #7 are very tiny. We were planning our return the moment we checked out!

Our stay at Hotel La Palapa from the minute we arrived to the time we left was amazing. The location was central to Tamarindo and walkable to restaurants, shops & stores for groceries. The staff was so accommodating and friendly and made you feel so welcome. The restaurant and drinks were wonderful. Oh and the sunsets were beautiful!

This place was perfect for me. I wanted to surf and not have to drive, and also its close to many good restaurants. They make a very nice latte and great food at the hotel restaurant. I would definitely come back again. The waterfront access was epic!

Rory

It was exactly what I wanted it to be! You walk out the door and are greeted by the ocean. It was very laid back, quiet, and outside the hustle and crowd you might find at a large resort. If you are looking for some place quiet to recharge, but still able to enjoy the night life if you chose, this is the place.
