We stayed here for a week in March and it was fantastic! The staff were INCREDIBLE, they live on site and they have a few pet dogs that free roam the property. It has a beautiful pool and is conveniently located right in the main area of town and literally just STEPS to the ocean. You’ll notice the reviews mention how noisy the hotel is because of its location and it definitely is noisy but it really didn’t bother us because we played so hard during the day we crashed hard at night and most of the bars and parties in the area wrapped up between 10pm-midnight.
We would choose to stay here again, hands down.

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.
Amazing staff!!! Just a little noisy due to the area. Was hard to sleep at times. The staff is so friendly and wants to keep you safe. Overall good experience.
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 stayed for seven days at this lovely hotel. Staff was very friendly and helpful in booking transport to and from airport and our sunset cruise. We had a king bed that was comfortable. The hotel is right in the center of the action and across the street from the beach. The pool area was very cute, and the water was refreshing from the sun. It can get very noisy at night but a couple of more of margaritas helped to drown out the noise. Overall would recommend staying here.
Location was the best. Walk to the beach in 3 minutes. Coffee Cafe, restaurants bars, live music, and a grocery store all around the hotel. The pool was surrounded by beautiful trees and plants making it feel tropical. The property was gated and fenced making us feel very safe. Our room was cleaned each day. The bed was comfortable and the air conditioner worked great, we slept good. We viewed other properties in the area for a future trip this fall. We will be staying at hotel Mar Rey! Thank you to the friendly staff who took care of our needs. See you in the fall, Pura Vida 🌴
Andrey was very accommodating and really friendly with a big beautiful smile perfect for front desk. Lloyd the gate man again was really amazing and also very attentive to security. Location, location and location perfect.
