Mother Earth Luxury Boutique Hotel, Restaurant & Spa

The staff here is incredible! They remember you and why your visiting and they are always ready to help. We went for our honeymoon and were treated like we were the only guests there! Highly recommend this resort to couples and families. I can’t say enough about how amazing they made our experience!

Construction: the meeting rooms and yoga studio back up to a construction zone, so you will hear drilling through out the day Beware of terms: they tried to charge me $600 deposit although their terms state $200 Noise in rooms: you can hear the bar music until around 11p plus your neighbors Food: not allowed to bring non vegan food on premise. Average cost per meal $26

We stayed at the 'Mother Earth Vegan Hotel' for a total of three nights. The complex is beautifully designed, the pool area, kitchen, bar and restaurant have been harmoniously integrated. The hotel is very modern and looks well maintained. Our room was very spacious and clean. We also had our own terrace. In addition to a safe, fridge and coffee maker, the rooms are also equipped with a ceiling fan and air conditioning. A wide range of snacks and drinks are available in the minibar at an additional cost. In the room we were greeted by a fruit bowl and a nice postcard. However, the first good impression was marred when we sat in the hotel restaurant in the evening. The prices for the food are not related to the service received. For example, we paid $20 for an appetizer that included six fried cauliflower florets with gravy! The following main course, cannelloni, made from somewhat tough zucchini and eggplant, cost $28. The main reason we came to Tamarindo was to visit the first vegan hotel in Costa Rica. It was also great to have several vegan dishes to choose from. We would have liked to have tried other dishes on the following evenings - but not at these prices! We're happy to pay more for special food, but unfortunately that's not the case here. Rather, one has the impression that more is simply asked for here, because it is vegan. My fellow travelers were also very busy with the floor of the facility, since the stone decor contained coral. I have been assured that these are not real corals - and I can only hope they are not!! The staff Randell and Raphael were very friendly and nice. As vegans, we would of course be happy to recommend the hotel because we think the idea behind it is great and we would like to support something like this. But since the food is of course essential in a vegan hotel, we unfortunately cannot make any recommendations. It's a pity...

I stayed at this hotel with friends as part of a sweet 16 birthday celebration. This place was so charming, inviting and catering. The hotel itself is beautiful, rooms nice, spacious and very clean. The hotel environment was so tranquil and serene. The staff was absolutely AMAZING, they catered to all our needs above and beyond. The owner also made it her business to personally welcome us and engage with us, I appreciated her hospitality. I'm not vegan, but I genuinely enjoyed all the meals they prepared. Definitely a top notch experience!

First off and very fundamental to any booking please find out if booking in 2022 if the construction work next door has finished. We were looking for a spiritual and calming stay with yoga and mediation practice but this is not what we experienced. We cut short our 7 nts stay after 4 nts because we woke to the construction noise (7am) and could not use the pool area in peace during the day because of the continued noise throughout the day. Iron being cut, reversing bulldozers, earth being moved all the order of the day and heard very clearly. Exiting the property, we breathed in dust from the digging. Not ideal as we sought some peace after an 11 hour flight and relaxation from busy working life. The construction can be heard from the reception office, to the pool, to the rooms - its loud. When we checked in we also specially told we cannot bring any food or drink in from outside, we have never been told this at any hotel we have stayed at (there is a big sign at the front door). Rooms We did not get the pool view we were after in our 1st room, placed next to the busy kitchen area. Then moved because the safe box buzzer went off (which couldn't be switched off). Water takes 5/10 mins to warm up and then only tepid. Not a hot springs experience. Bedding were clean and tidy, good size bed also access to Netflix/YouTube. Standard expectations in most hotels/resorts these days. Breakfast - Three options only but in my opinion the highlight of our stay. Pura Vida (not here)
