In a good location with friendly staff and owner. Close to the beach and all the restaurants. Not good if you're a light sleeper like me, but it is Tamarindo.. ;)

It was ok

This hotel was ok. The decorations were nice although the photos online look nicer and good location to the beach. They had games in a common area and help your self to coffee or tea. They don't really offer any type of service other then front desk and house keeping. And be careful for the man outside of the hotel who "helps you park" and demands money - nothing lower then $5 USD You might be able to get away from him by telling him your staying at Zulu
