This hotel was everything we expected and more. The view made our trip. Every evening, my boyfriend and I sipped beer and watched the sunset. We could have cooked our own meals if we wanted to! The hotel was clean, quiet, had a great air conditioner, and great customer service. The bar is open from about 5 to whenever (closes... more

By far, my favorite hotel ever! Great people, great view, great rooms, great times! more

My wife and I stayed a La Colina hotel in Tamerindo from Jan 14 to Feb 12, 2008 We found La Colina a delightful place to stay. We had a one bedroom unit. It came with airconditioning, a double door ref / icemaker, microwave, jenaire grill, iron, hairdryer,and laundry service. It has a view of the ocean and a good... more

We booked La Colina off the web not knowing for sure what to expect. WOW! What a great place. The owner Hans and his staff were very friendly and helpful. Hans was able to book car rentals, tours or whatever you might need. The hotel is very clean as were the grounds which is full of Orchids, Hans takes pride... more

I have been coming to Tamarindo 2-3 x a year since 2000. One of the main reasons is the view and feeling I get from La Colina. I found it by chance and Hans and Anna have kept me coming back ever since. It is not a hotel feel. It is more like a bunch of family and friends enjoying... more

Ask the hotel's front desk to see if it is safe to swim in the ocean and they will tell you "no problemo". However, the Costa Rica Ministry of Health has condemned Tamarindo's beaches as some of the most polluted in Costa Rica. Extremely high fecal counts. Most of the hotels in Tamarindo dump raw sewage directly into the ocean.... more

Last August was the 4th time we stayed at La Colina in Tamarindo. As always, it was perfect. Tamarindo is growing up, but at La Colina, Hans and Ana treat you like family and you can really relax. I'd recommend La Colina above all other hotels in Tamarindo. It's clean, safe, friendly, and fun. more

I have mixed feelings about writing this recommendation. But I can't be that selfish. You see, I always stay at La Colina when I go to Tamarindo and I want it to stay that way. But the more business they get the less chance they'll have a room for me. So even though I write a travel guide for Costa... more

I have been a guest at La Colina on six different occasions. Every time that I go back to Tamarindo, I keep returning to La Colina. They offer a combination of great value, friendly service, clean rooms, and a beautiful pool. There is also a fully stocked bar right next the pool with a beautiful view. The Last couple of... more
