Rooms: Arco Iris is a contradictory but pleasant surprise. On first arrival, there is a campy feel with bungalows tightly scattered around a nicely landscaped lot. Each unit has a hammock outside - relaxing, but no view. Inside however, the rooms were fresh and bright, with crisp linens and squeaky clean floors with a modern flare. Bathrooms were spacious with... More

My girlfriend and I spent 4 nights at Hotel Arco Iris and were very satisfied with our stay. The hotel was very nice and modern and the location right off the beach area was perfect. Our deluxe room was very spacious, with a nice clean bathroom and comfortable beds. Richard (the owner) was there to greet us even though our... More

We stayed at the Hotel Arco Iris for a week and really enjoyed it. The room was modern and very clean, the staff very friendly and the grounds very pretty. We met Richard, the owner, the second day of our stay and he was very friendly. There were lots of lizards running around and one morning we saw 2 monkeys... More

We came from the Four Seasons in Costa Rica and wanted a nice, clean, comfortable and affordable hotel in Tamarindo. We found it at the Hotel Arco Iris. The rooms are nice, comfortable beds, clean and great bathrooms. The water pressure is low in the showers but it's probably best so that we conserve water during the dry season. The... More

We stayed for 3 nights at Hotel Arco Iris. We found both the owner and his staff to be very helpful. The room was clean, and we did not have a problem with the bed. I did get bitten one night all over my leg, but I cannot really blame anybody for that, as we were in a tropical climate.... More

We finished our trip to CR at this hotel which is hard to find, but it's worth looking for. It is exceptionally clean and well run for an establishment of this size, with lovely well designed modern bathrooms, and, especially good for me, loads of clean fresh towels and branded shampoo sachets. Staying with the towel theme, it was refreshing... More

Hotel Arco Iris is off the main street in tamarindo, about a 10 min leisurely walk to the beach. It's close to a supermarket and other boutique hotels, hostels, and low key restaurants. The hotel is clean with a masculine modern design with a small pool and great restaurant. It's not by any means a five star luxury resort but... More

Stayed at the Hotel Arco Iris for three nights with two friends. The hotel is quaint and cute. It's not directly on the beach but it's within walking distance (literally a 5min walk). The hotel owner, Richard, greeted us when we arrived and provided us with recommendations on where to eat. The hotel is very clean and I'm a bit... More
