Hotel Casa Blanca

We loved everything about our stay here. The owners and staff are friendly and welcoming, the beds were comfortable, room was clean and had everything we needed, and best of all - the hotel was peaceful and quiet with beautiful views and great access to beaches and restaurants without the crowds and party-ers. The breakfast that is included is wonderful and the monkeys, iguanas, and birds were a highlight. We plan to come back and would recommend this hotel to our friends for sure.

Wonderful breakfast. Very friendly owners. Such a peaceful location looking out on the beach and river. Only complaint was internet.

This small, family-run hotel was a beautiful treat! The owners prepared a delicious breakfast served beach-side under monkey-laden trees. The owners clearly love Hotel Casa Blanca and treated us like welcome family!

Amazing hotel just steps from the beach! Nice and quiet, away from the loud main strip. The breakfast is amazing here! Also, if you are looking to see some monkeys and iguanas, they love the trees right out front. Highly recommended!

Super friendly, they make feel like home. Excellent customer service. Definitely recommend

Make no mistake. The only positive of this hotel is location, by the ocean, however you can not swim because it is just by a river and there are crocodiles. The french people who run the hotel are pretty rude for the Costa Rican standard. Rooms are clean but super old (paint and the scarce old and damaged furniture) and simply "empty"... some people will call it "minimalist" but, it is far from the minimalist concept of a W hotel... Breakfast included...well... for us it was just croissants and toasted bread with industrial jam... other guets got luckier and had english muffins and eggs... the person in charge told me that she was by herself and did not have time to cook for everyone so, since it was our first and only night we had "french breakfast". For additional $20 you can go to the Wyndham, brand new with an infinity pool.

really warm and accommodating.. we had a great stay

Hotel Casa Blanca is a family-owned hotel. It is small and quiet, as the junction of the estuary and the ocean in Tamarindo. Though it looks out on the ocean, you have to walk about 2 minutes around the corner to get in the water [chance of crocodiles in the river mouth]--or, for a $1, take a very short boat ride across the river to the peaceful Playa Grande. Around the corner from the hotel, the chaos of Tamarindo beach awaits, in contrast to the serenity of the hotel. The garden is beautiful--full of iguana. We had a morning with a pack of howler monkeys in the trees, fun for us tourists. Each morning, Alexia bakes fresh breads--English muffins, croissants, brioche, baguette. She even made special treats for my children--bread with chocolate and hot chocolate, which they loved. She and Olivier also gave us restaurant recommendations and tips about handling vendors. The restaurant Pangas right next door is also a lovely perk--a beautiful spot for watching the sunset during drinks and/or dinner. This is a great location to serve as a base for your adventures.

I had an excellent stay and i spent most of my time doing tours. The area is excellent and right on the beach. Alexia was pretty responsive when i called since i got there a little early. Bed was great and spacious and the terrace was awesome with a view to die for. Property staff were always smiling. I wish i've spent more time at the property and i only had their experienced their breakfast on my last day which was awesome. I'd definitely come back to this property!

Beautiful place and nice location, totally recommend it
