The hotel is in a great location in Tamarindo, as it is neither in the center of Tamarindo or outside. The rooms are comfortable, very clean with fan and air conditioning, and is beachfront. It is very safe and the owners are very friendly. It has a delicious French bakery next door having breakfast you can eat there, as the... More

Stayed for a week. Place has it pros and cons, depending on what you are looking for. It is secluded from the commotion of the center of tamarindo, though the rooms facing the street side still get the road noise from the cars going into/out of tamarindo. The rooms facing the beach are great. #12 our favorite due to the... More

Our first visit to Costa Rica and our first 3 days at Hotel La Laguna del cocodrilo were great !! Clean and convenient to get to the beach or to town. 100 meters to the beach. Safe and the staff was the best. Would recommend highly.

We stayed here as a package with Witch's Rock surf camp because the camp was full for the second week of our stay. Cocodrilo is a 3 minute walk from Witche's and is actually the closest hotel to the river mouth surf break. It's a peaceful little place. We were in room 11 which was very nice but a few... More

Our sheets had little hairs and brown spots on them. Our air conditioner was leaking all over the floor. It clearly is not hooked up properly as their... More

I have stayed here a couple of times on various visits to Costa Rica. I love surfing at Tamarindo and this hotel is the perfect location. Mickael and Cedric are fantastic - I always feel very welcome here, they are very accomodating, and what could be better than having a little French bakery on one side, plus the best smoothie...

I loved staying here with a super nice ground level room, very quite and relaxing after the days of surfing the local surf spots. I will definitly come back again for another week stay next year. All of the people working here are fantastic and helpful. The French Bakery on the front of the hotel is out of this world... More

Stayed at Laguna del Cocodrilo at the begining and end of a surf trip in August. The location, right on the edge of town, is perfect. Easy walk to the beach and to town. Rooms were simple, but clean, comfortable and secure. The staff was very accomodating. Breakfast at the attached bakery before the morning surf session is a must... More
