Me and my girlfriend went to the Tamarindo Diria for 3 nights. At first glance the hotel is in a great location and the grounds are very pretty. HOWEVER, the staff is awful!! We were not greeted with a nice drink when we checked in, not a big deal but it makes the experience that much more enjoyable. We booked... More

There's only 1 hotel that really sits right on the long, flat beach-The Tamarindo Diria, but it is pricey $$$. Some airlines have packages that include the Diria for a good deal. We usually stay in the Sunset wing which is newer & has great sunset views. An enormous breakfast buffet with omelets made to ordered is included. Just walk... More

Although the hotel is split in two, one side beach one side pool, it works. We have been staying in the condos located on this property and its really a very pretty property. My only complaint is the series of locked gates you need to go through, however it's not that bad unless they are broken or you forget your... More

We just got back from a 3 night stay here. While the location is great the hotel is a little lack luster. The grounds are beautiful and clean and the beach is perfect. The rooms are small and clean but there were always little bugs and ants. The beds were super uncomfortable. They didn't provide enough towels in the room... More

I usually don't do the large hotel thing while in Costa Rica, but our previous hotel had burnt down so we thought we would treat ourselves. The hotel itself is very nice, the rooms are large and clean. The beds are top notch which is not always the case at some smaller hotels, BnBs. The grounds are beautiful as well,... More

My husband and I were supposed to stay somewhere else arranged by a family member. After a plumbing disaster and flooded room, we drove to Tamarindo and stumbled into the Diria without a reservation. They saved the day with a beach front 1st floor room. It was wonderful. The room was very nice and I loved sitting out on the... More

We stayed at the Diria for a week in 2013 and it was a great experience and I highly recommend the resort. We were with a large group using their conference room and the staff were very accommodating and helpful. The guides set us up with surfing lessons and a great ATV tour to a secluded beach. The restaurant at... More

Dishonest and disorganized!! DO NOT RECOMMEND!!! Pay attention to you charges!!!! Slow and poor service. I could write a book about all of their flaws!!! Enough said. When we checked out, we had a $ 219.18 (US dollars) extra tips/ gratuity charge added to our bill that could not be explained. "Call the manager when you get home", was the... More

This hotel located on the beach in the heart of the Tamarindo strip was the perfect place for us to end our month in Costa Rica. After 'roughing' it on the surf beaches and driving over the dusty, pot-holed roads, a bit of luxury was exactly what we needed. We had a beachfront room with a large balcony offering amazing... More
