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.

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.

10/10 Exceptional

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!

We enjoyed our stay here! The staff was very friendly and our room was very nice. The property is well maintained. It sits off the Main Street so there is a lot of noise and traffic noise.

Great location but busy.

A lovely hotel right in the heart of Tamarindo. Across the street from great restaurants, and just a very short walk to the beach. Unfortunately it rain the entire time we were here, but that’s the rainy season. and of course, what sounded like gunshots at 3 AM.

10/10 Exceptional

Nice place, friendly and helpful staff. The dogs are also just as friendly, polite, well trained, affectionate yet controlled, do not make disruptive noises like barking, whining or anything like that, and provide a sweet welcoming upon the arrival of guests (as far as my experience went as well as what I witnessed). Would stay again
