Find your place to stay
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

This is a beautiful hotel in a great location. Everything was lovely. We even got to see monkeys that live on the property. Most of the staff was very nice and helpful. Unfortunately, the rooms were not cleaned daily or they would forget our towels. The bed was quite uncomfortable as well.

This spot was gorgeous! We loved the pool area and restaurant. We didn't love having to cross a busy road to get back and forth to the beach. Even when we wanted to just get towels for the pool, it was a bit inconvenient. Having a parking lot and the main road right outside our room made for very noisy mornings (5:30am). The room was quite small and snug for our things, but it was clean. We liked being able to digitally set when we were ready for housekeeping. There was some good variety of places to eat and appreciated the 'food court' style location where people could choose their own type of meal.

Sandra E.

Katie N.
Loved the location. The breakfast was delicious!
Paul S.
Room was dated, but otherwise the facility was nice.
Craig H.
Great location. Rooms were a bit dated. Employees not as friendly as the other 2 resorts. Likely because it was a larger/busier resort.
Michelle W.
All I can say is WOW!! Upon check-in we were upgraded to room with a private pool. The room was beautiful and spacious. Two of the staff members brought us a bottle of champagne and a bowl of fruit because of our Anniversary. The next day another bottle of champagne and fruit tarts along with a beautifully written certificate was on our dresser. The resort was amazing, the food great and the grounds with multiple swimming pools were fantastic. Walking access to the beach and shops were an added bonus.

What a great hotel, with another great ocean view. There was a huge Howler Monkey with two smaller ones on the roof right outside our balcony! Best seat in the house. Hotel had many pools and options for meals. Loved taking long beach walks after a delicious breakfast. Great location as well. May be my new favourite spot as there were so many spots to enjoy the sunset, listen to live music and great meals! Great location!

The resort itself is clean and the staff friendly. Because of the size of the resort they sometimes lose out on the personalized touches that smaller resorts may be able to offer. The surfing rentals onsite are very good prices.

The Diria is a beautiful resort and we had an excellent view of the ocean from our sunset room. The only consideration was that the room was a bit outdated and small. Also there was no water stations available to refill our water bottles, we had to ask at the bar each time. Overall, the staff was very friendly, the breakfast was really good and we had direct access to the beach.
Carole W.

The hotel was in a perfect location. It was just older.
Shraddah J.
there were a lot of ants in our room and on the patio. This made us nervous about food and also nervous about being bitten while we were sleeping.
Andrew S.
Gorgeous hotel
Barbara F.
Our room was not cleaned and made up. We called the front desk and stopped by the desk as well to request maid service. Finally, someone came after 6 pm and took our trash and gave us some towels.
Gisèle R.
It was very nice, we found the other hotels to be friendlier
Janet W.
Recommend upgrade to sunset ocean view, so on beach side. Location great to walk to area restaurants and shopping. Enjoyed walks on beach. Go next door for happy hour ( 2 for 1 drinks!!) and fire show. Hotel should get rid of key cards, hard to keep track of, and instead get wrist fobs.
Carol M.
This hotel has made some nice improvements and we loved being between the pool and the ocean. We did have problems getting our luggage upstairs. No elevator. I suggest indicating to your clients this information ahead of time. The hotel did not offer to have anyone help us.
Rick P.
They had no water station, so if bar was open, no water. Keep water available after breakfast! Closing times for their nearby eateries were misleading or wrong. Housekeeping moved all our bathroom supplies around, which was not acceptable. They also dropped one of our toothbrushes down the sink drain and didn't mention it. We saw it, sitting deep in the drain.
This hotel was just ok for us. Very nice location and great sunset view. But it is very big, busy, very touristy, very expensive. This was our least favorite part of the trip.
