Lovely property in the heart of Tamarindo, and across the street from the beach.

We liked the safety, cleanliness and it was central to many amenities.
Jodi, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Hotel Mar Rey is in an excellent location—right across from public beach access, making it super convenient for enjoying the beach or catching the sunset. It's also surrounded by restaurants, shops, cafés, and a pharmacy. While the hotel is older, it’s clean and well-maintained, with nice bedding. We appreciated the staff’s quick response when we reported a slow water flow in the shower—it was resolved promptly. The main downsides were some noise from outside (understandable given the age of the building and limited soundproofing) and the lack of breakfast or complimentary coffee. Overall, we had a comfortable and pleasant stay.
Gladys, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Nice reasonably priced hotel for being so close to the beach. Fyi, there are a couple of hotel dogs, super friendly.

Good centrally Located Hotel

Basic hotel, No Food, No Ice Machine, but walking distance to everything needed. Little Italian cafe right outside the hotel, great coffee and breakfast. Secure, Front desk was helpful. Strong WiFi, free parking.
Tobias, 6-night trip

8/10 Good

The service and staff were very nice and helpful for suggestions and booking cars/outings. The hotel was cute and across street from beach access. The downside for our family was the noise/sound from the local clubs - it was very loud until late on weekends but a bit better on weekdays.
Heather, 5-night trip

8/10 Good

Close to it all

Hotel Mar Ray was a neat little hotel with a great pool area and decent sized rooms very close to beach and all bars, restaurants and mini supermarkets. Enjoyed our stay although it is getting a little dated which we weren’t concerned about.
David, 8-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Hotel Mar Rey is in a great location. Close to beach, restaurants and bars and shopping. The pool and surroundings are beautiful. Hacienda style. The ranch kitchen by the pool was great. You could buy groceries and cook them on site. Andrey and staff were extremely helpful.
Mary Jo, 4-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Central located in town and walkable. Close to dining and markets.
Beverly, 5-night trip

8/10 Good

This was hotel good, right across from beach access tons of food and shopping options. The staff was friendly and the pool was nice.
Janice, 3-night trip

6/10 Okay

I like the pool, location, and cleanliness. The owners and their family live in the hotel. All their dogs are on site and unrestrained. They bark and awake the guests at night and in the mornings, early. My complaints to the owner were met with shrugs. Sleeping is a problem here. Even time by the delightful pool is disturbed. We stayed on the beach our last few days to get away from the constant barking. It was not like this last year. I love dogs, but I love my sleep and quiet on vacation. I will stay elsewhere when I return to Tamarindo in the future.
Laura, 7-night trip

Edwin, Andre & staff @ Hotel Mar Rey the very Best

An absolutely amazing stay at Mar Rey! Unforgettable time :) The owners and staff are so welcoming, helpful and charming....you feel right at home before you even arrive on site because they ensure that your entire journey goes splendidly well. I could not have picked a better hotel....I am definitely returning there, but plan to bring my entire family with me next time! :)

The place to stay

Great place to stay and will recommend to my friends. Perfect location
William, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Very enjoyable, excellent location

The hotel is affordable, comfortable and in a prime location in Tamarindo. You can walk to the beach and all of the shops and restaurants in the area within minutes. This isn’t a resort, but has everything you need if you enjoy spending the majority of your time enjoying the beach, town, culture, and being more independent than a resort setting. The pool is a very nice spot to come back to and is a lovely setting, also has an outdoor cooking area if you want to prepare some of your own meals. They will also help you book tours/experiences as well if you aren’t as independent when traveling internationally. Staff were very kind and felt like good friends by the time we left!
