Location
The food, where do i start it was diabolical there was no varity it was fish and chips every day. In total every day ther was 11 choices of food. There was food all over the floor, it was just terrible and when we got back 3/5 people had bugs which was probaly from the food
The location wasnt all that great either it was a 4 euro taxi ride to the beach and a 3 euro ride to the main town there was a supermarket next to the hotel but this was very expensive
All the staff spoke good engish and they were always smiling but there wasnt enough of them this made a long line for drinks in the evening.
the daytime entertainment wasnt bad but not great. The night time entertainment was terrible with a bingo night a racing night and a very bad hynotist.
the hotel overall was very poor and i urge everyone who is thinking of going to the oasis tamirindo dont go you will regret it.

The apartment was clean, large and comfortable. However, that was the best it was cleaned for the two weeks we were there. The maids seemed to only make beds and change towels. The floor wasn

The night entertainment was a load of rubbish and so was the food they had fish, chips and pasta every night. The food was disgusting and the soda machines come out with just bubbles.
The cleaners only made the beds and made a noise the didn

The apartment complex itself is beautiful - very clean and the surroundings were stunning. Our apartment exceeded our expectations, being light and airy, clean and so roomy. The balcony was indeed our very own sun-trap!
We had our room cleaned and towels changed almost every day.
The food was better than expected after reading previous reports but by the 2nd week I have to agree, you really knew what to expect and it all got very "samey".
Staff though were more than helpful and often asked if there was anything they could do for you and if the meal was ok. The bar was great - staff were very friendly - although stuck rigidly to the finishing times of the AI bar!
Although we did not join in the entertainment arranged - the guys who did it couldn't be faulted in their enthusiasm. Always trying to encourage the lazy sunbathers into playing games!
Although we knew that this area would be quite quiet, we did manage to find a few places to go - round the corner is a sports bar (who plays Big Brother every night!) and a taxi into the town (cc Atlantico) was 2 or 3 euro.
All in all we had a fantastic time - weather, accommodation and tour company couldn't be faulted.
Definitely go back......as soon as possible!
The only complaint I would have is that I thought everyone else there looked like they'd been sent to a concentration camp!! Bloody cheer up - you're on holiday!!

The food was horrible, the children 15 and 13 could not eat in the restuarant the food was that bad so most afternoons and nights we ate out which cost us an extra lot of money over the 2 weeks.
30euros a week for the basic tv, no air con.
The pools were dirty 7 euros for the cushion for the sun beds per week have to also pay for fans, it was money, money, money, I THOUGHT I WENT ALL INCLUSIVE.
We expected snacks through the day, only from 3.30 -4.30 only hot dogs, hamburgers, had to pay for pitza. basic dry sandwiches.
The bar is very small and only one, small fridge where they bring out the snacks so people crawling all over each other for an hour, well not even that as the food went pretty quickly, no more put out. God help people when the hotel is packed. NEVER AGAIN.

On arrival we were pleasntly suprised to see that the accomodation was very clean and in the 2 weeks we stayed there the rooms and bedding were changed most days. The complex itself was spotless and well looked after with any problems fixed straight away.
Staff were extremely friendly and helpful and especially good with the kids.
The entertainment was superb and the kids club extremely well run with lots of activities throughout the day for kids and adults alike. night time entertainment was ok but the mini disco for children was excellent.
The only downside was the lack of different foods. The first week was great but by the start of the second the novelty had wore off and so did resort to eating out on a couple of occasions.
The pool bar was excellent and still can't get used to not being able to just walk up and get my own beer and walk off without paying.
All in all a great holiday and would definately visit again.

we were moved to tamarindo from Oasis Duna by Cosmos after 2 days and i wished we'd stayed at home. We got to our room and were overpowered by the stench of sewers, we complained and they sent a cleaner to put bleach in the toilet which didnt help.
My husband got eaten alive by mosquitos that cost us 132 euros at the doctors as we were sent to a private clinic. We were over run by cockroaches that were 3-4 inch long about ten a night.
After a week of no sleep and complaining they finally listened, admitted they had a problem with the drains and moved us to the other side of the complex. this was a week too late as my husband would not leave the room until it was night and he put a long sleeved top on to go for our evening meal he was too embarrassed to go out otherwise because of all the bites he had suffered.
The bar was a joke with one member of staff on it was that bad the queues were longer than the post office on pension day. There wasnt a lot for the children to do so they got bored very easily.
The best part of our holiday was the flight home.

Just some advice - if your travelling in a party of more than 4 then get transfers as although the taxis are cheap to and from the airport you are paying twice as you'll need 2 cars as 7 seaters are hard to get hold of. However if you need a taxi to get in 2 town then they are easy to come by. You go in reception and they'll phone one for you and by the time you get outside there is a taxi waiting for you.
Food was lovely. Loved the fried brakfast in the morning. Sometimes the baked beans abroad are weird but here they are just like you get at home, same goes for the milk you use for the cereal! Good variety of food, but a lot of the time it was cold although still eatable. There was a mexican themed night one night, that's OK if you liked Mexican, i'm not a big fan! If you go into town the restaurants there are brilliant. Visited an italian and indian restaurant and was pleaded with the food.
Location was OK. You could easily walk into town if you are fit enough. My friends sister had to have cruthches so the walking distance isn't suitable for all as it is about a 15 minute walk. Didn't visit the beaches there so can not comment.
Overall a pleasant stay and i would definitely recommend this hotel!

The apartment complex was fantastic, very clean and picturesque. Our apartment was lovely and clean and well appointed - lots of marble and we were very impressed.
There were lots of palm trees, landscaped gardens and wonderful views. The pools were magnificent and of an impressive size as well as the 2 large main pools, there is a small shallow pool for the little ones. We stayed all inclusive and the food/drink and general service was excellent. The restaurant was clean and tidy and always offered a good selection of food for all tastes, there was a microwave available if your food wasn't as hot as you like but I have to say ours was always fine.
I find other people's comments regarding the lack of atmosphere in the Pool Bar hard to fathom as we found it to be very pleasant and very friendly bar staff. The measures of alcohol are VERY generous and there was also internet and TV facilities available should you get the urge to catch up on affairs back home. The 'animation team' always tried hard to entertain especially the children's mini disco which was great fun to sing along too (and we are in our mid twenties!!) Would recommend taking a couple of jumpers as it can get breezy in the evening.
The town is a 20 minute walk away, however you may find getting a taxi back to the hotel is easier as it is very cheap 2.50 euros and saves you walking uphill especially in the heat! There is some nice shops and some good bargains to be found - be ready to haggle for the best price!

A multitude of sunbeds always free around the three pools, 2 of which were huge putting other hotels pools to shame.
We were always able to find food which suited us and never had to wait for drinks at the bar.
Only flaw the awful weather which we were told was freakish for the time of year.
Finally my compliments to the animation team who worked tirelessly to entertain us.
