Boutique hotel in Tamarindo with Mediterranean dining and full concierge for eco-adventures

Rooms & Accommodations

Hotel Arco Iris offers five bungalows and eight deluxe rooms set within tropical gardens. Each bungalow includes a private porch with a hammock, and all accommodations have free minibars, cable TV, and safes. The contemporary-style rooms provide bright spaces with stylish modern bathrooms and free toiletries.

Dining

The on-site Seasons restaurant serves innovative Mediterranean cuisine using fresh local ingredients under a renowned chef. A gourmet dessert menu features homemade sorbets and mousse, and the bar offers wine and champagne. Guests are also a short walk from multiple dining options offering local and international cuisines.

Location & Surroundings

Set 1600 ft from Tamarindo Beach, the hotel sits within the Baulas de Guanacaste Marine National Park. The quiet location is a short walk from the town's shops, international restaurants, and nightlife, yet the property remains peaceful. A back gate connects directly to the main road, making access easy without the rocky front path.

Concierge & Activities

The hotel's full concierge service arranges diving, snorkeling, and boat tours of the national park, plus trips to Arenal Volcano or rainforest canopy tours. Educational tours exploring Costa Rica's rich biodiversity are available, along with hands-on cultural experiences like pottery and local culinary tours. Staff can also book private airport transfers and shuttle services.
