Tamarindo Diria Resort

Tamarindo

Good to Know

Tamarindo Diria Resort brings together Playa Tamarindo beach access, multiple pools and dining in a lively town setting. Rooms are on the oceanfront or across the street, with family and adults-only choices that create different stays. Compare section and room category before booking; balconies, terraces and private water features vary. Choose Diria for a vacation that can move easily between resort hours, surfing and coastal outings.


Tamarindo’s beach life, with a resort to return to

Golden sand and the energy of town come together at Tamarindo Diria Resort. The property fronts Playa Tamarindo, putting a beach outing, a swim and a meal within the rhythm of a resort stay. Surfing gives the shoreline its lively character, while pools and places to relax invite you to enjoy an afternoon without planning another excursion.

Choose the section that suits your stay

Location within the resort matters. Accommodation is available on the oceanfront and across the street in family or couples sections. An ocean-oriented room, a family pool setting and an adults-only Tropicana room create different experiences, so consider both the outlook and the section when booking.

Rooms and suites bring tropical colors and modern comforts into the stay, with balconies or terraces in some categories. The sunset ocean-view option emphasizes the coast; family pool-view rooms keep the pool setting close. Selected Tropicana categories add a Jacuzzi or plunge pool. Use the room details to choose the experience you want rather than expecting the same outdoor space or features throughout the property.

Between the pools and Playa Tamarindo

Multiple swimming pools let you vary the day, including an oceanfront pool with Pacific views. Take time for a swim, settle beside the water or head onto the beach. Direct access to Playa Tamarindo makes the shoreline a natural part of the stay, with beach chairs and umbrellas adding convenience to time by the sand.

Surf lessons offer a way to join the activity on this well-known surfing beach, while a walk or a leisurely pause lets you enjoy it at your own pace. Back at the resort, dining spans casual beachside meals and more formal settings, with seafood, Costa Rican dishes and international flavors. Fresh, locally sourced ingredients connect the meals with the region, while bars and lounges invite you to extend the evening with a tropical cocktail or an artisanal spirit.

Leave room for town and coast

Tamarindo’s setting makes it easy to combine hotel time with a livelier vacation. Wildlife tours, jungle zip-lining and national-park outings can add adventure beyond the resort. Massages and facials at the spa provide a quieter counterpoint when you return. Diria’s appeal is the combination: a beach-town stay with enough variety on site to enjoy a day close to your accommodation, provided you choose the right section for your trip.

Choosing Tamarindo Diria Resort

  • Beach and town together: direct Playa Tamarindo access places surfing, sand and coastal scenery within a resort stay in a lively beach town.
  • Choose the right section: accommodation is on the oceanfront or across the street in family or couples sections. A beachfront resort address does not mean every room is on the beach side.
  • Family and adults-only choices: family pool-view rooms and adults-only Tropicana options create different atmospheres. Select the section that suits your party and preferred pace.
  • Pool variety: multiple pools include an oceanfront pool with Pacific views, giving you a place to swim even on a day spent close to the resort.
  • Comfort for beach hours: beach chairs and umbrellas make shore time convenient, while surf lessons offer a way to join Tamarindo’s surfing activity.
  • Dining and evenings on site: casual beachside meals, more formal dining, bars and lounges bring seafood, Costa Rican dishes and international flavors into the stay.
  • Room features vary: balconies, terraces, Jacuzzi and plunge-pool features depend on category. Choose deliberately if private outdoor space or a water feature is important.
  • A change of pace beyond the pool: spa treatments, wildlife tours, zip-lining and national-park outings provide relaxing and adventurous possibilities without requiring the same kind of day throughout the trip.

Guest review

With college age boys, we liked that we were in the town. We walked to various restaurants and enjoyed seeing Tamarindo. When we checked in, Tamarindo Diria Resort only showed we reserved one room. Pacific Trade Winds quickly solved the issue.

Guest review

We loved this resort. Very clean and close to the beach. We loved that there was free wi fi throughout the resort.

Guest review

It wasn't sparkling clean but it was nice. I didn't know our rooms would be on the other side of the street from the main part of the hotel, but it was fine. I didn't like the birds bothering people at breakfast & the staff wasn't quite as friendly and attentive as the other places. It's a cute little town & the people are nice, but a little pushier than in the other places we had been.

Guest review

Staff basically ignored us. Room wasn't cleaned one day. The young women at the tour desk were rude and unhelpful. The dining area staff acted like they were too busy to help us. (We asked for water and were ignored and had to help ourselves to necessary tableware --napkins, sugar, salt -- from other tables or service areas.) Because of the poor breakfast service, we chose not to eat at any of their restaurants.

Guest review

Next time I won't choose a king size bed instead of 2 queens. The bathroom was too tiny for two people.

Guest review

Great location, right on the beach and right in town. They moved us to an ocean front room because of low census and it was fabulous.

Guest review

To much outdoor walking in the heat and bugs for meals. Wonderful beach. In hotel food fair.

Guest review

The only complaint is cleaning staff kept taking used towels without leaving behind clean ones.

Guest review

Cant say enough. Room was beautiful. Location great. Pool and beach areas beautiful. Terrific breakfast and restaurants. Pleasant staff-especially at concierge desk. Most beautiful sunsets ever. I would like to highly recommend two restaurants we ate at outside of the hotel in Tamarindo. Seasons by Shlomy at Arco Iris Hotel and Patagonia Argentinian Steakhouse. Both had wonderful food and great atmosphere.

Guest review

We loved the location of the hotel and our balcony facing the ocean!! But the guestrooms definitely need help. The room wasn't clean. The floor was so dirty and dusty, all the furniture was dusty, the bathroom was uncomfortably tiny and the walls had stains on them. There is no shelf to put any toiletries in the bathroom or shower. The stall shower is so small that you can't even move to wash properly (and impossible for a lady to shave her legs!!!!). There are also no drawers for clothes. They really need to do something about the bathrooms especially. At the very least, put a wall mounted shelf somewhere in there. Regarding the staff, most of them were wonderful! There were a few bartenders that were not at all friendly. But other than those, the staff was nice.

Guest review

The check in staff really put a wrinkle on my thoughts of the hotel, they were not willing to help out until I reached out to you guys for the king bed.

Guest review

The only reason I rate this a bit lower is that it is a huge place, very busy and lack the personal touch with guests because of its success. But if we asked for something, they always came through. Loved the location and the family pool is fantastic!

Guest review

I enjoyed Tamarindo. The beaches were beautiful. We had lots of trouble with our room keys. Had to keep getting them reprogrammed. The wait staff in the dining area was very poor. You would ask for coffee, milk anything that we needed and they would never come back. I was not impressed with them at all. The cleaning staff was exceptional. The girl cleaning our floor was so helpful with us and the key issues. She was our savior many times.

Guest review

Great hotel, staff, pool, air conditioning, refrigerator, beach. Although there are some vendors on the beach, not overwhelming. There are rocks close to shore so would not try surfing in front of the hotel but a 10 minute walk on the beach gets to a great area.

Guest review

Wonderful location and easy to walk the town. Loved the beach and pool
