Very good

The hotel has incredible views of the ocean, but the rooms are very old and a bit dingy looking. Nice for the views and pool but overall ok.

Staff were exceptional! View was amazing . Loved the location as we had a car! Happy hour prices were great. Bathroom so small and no hot water, lots of cold showers. Rooms need an update . I would stay here again, but it really needs an update
We had an absolutely fantastic experience at Wyndham Tamarindo. The staff were friendly and beyond helpful! The rooms were clean and the view was stunning. Breakfast was absolutely amazing, we enjoyed the pool, and the hourly shuttle made getting to and from downtown so quick and easy!! Highly recommend staying here! We would come back in a heartbeat!
Firstly the hotel has a giant grasshopper problem, the issue being after sunset they would appear and once disturbed would erratically fly into you making for an uncomfortable stay. Mindful we are in Costa Rica and nature is part of the experience, this very much felt like an infestation and the hotel seemingly do not have any inclination to try to address the problem . Our experience was made worse by not being warned of the problem, upon leaving our room on the first night we were unexpectedly set upon by these insects.
The lifts at the property were very dirty and it is very obvious that they do not form part of any cleaning schedule.
The breakfast for me is a big miss, cold hot buffet and limited choices. This being said I believe it is included in the price.
The room was relatively clean with daily housekeeping. The bathroom is super tiny and our shower did not work properly (as I understand this seemed to be an issue in most rooms).
The towels could do with changing which are threadbare and clearly have reached the end of their life cycle.
Ignore the timing displayed for the shuttle bus, this will leave when full and there are only limited seats.
The hotel pool is fantastic.

Wonderful and responsive staff under very stretched by the end of the holiday they kept positive if not smiling quite as broadly the only thing that could have been better was more help for them.
What did suffer under the service was the quality of food for the special Christmas eve dinner it was a good menu but cold and obviously pre-stored this also pointed to understaffing. The wine was very good.
Room was clean and comfortable. The bathroom is small. Breakfast is a good selection. Staff is friendly and speaks English well. The pool is clean and very nice. There is a free hotel shuttle to downtown and to the beach club. I do recommend using it as the drive although short is chaotic with people, cars. Of the shuttle isn’t able to get you for some reason you can get a short taxi.
Beautiful Mountain View of the ocean. Open air lobby, entrance to rooms, and restaurant onsite so if it’s hot outside you’re going to be hot. Courteous service. Free shuttle into town and beach club access which increased amenities. You have the best of both worlds. Food service speed and quality of alcohol drinks onsite needs improvement. Language barriers at times with staff. Huge grasshoppers onsite!! :). Expedia advertises this as an adult only resort but a small handful of children were there. Not much of a problem though. Complimentary Breakfast is plentiful but repetitive, would encourage hotel to change up the menu more. Overall, a pleasure to stay!

It's a nice hotel, but it should be a lot better for the price. My balcony door did not close, and maintenance fixed it on the first night, but when I opened it the next day couldn't lock it again.
The bathroom layout was awkward, the toilet behind the door and super narrow, let's just say a heavier person would probably have to step in the shower to close the door.
Breakfast was ok, eggs are organic, but no pastries... and limited fruits.
I think for a 4-star hotel they should offer fruits in the afternoon, and the rooms definitely need an upgrade.
