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.
7/12/2026
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.
2/25/2026
this was superb!!. We loved the location and the food options, poo and hotel -- it made the little snags earlier a distant memory,
2/22/2026
lovely resort, had to move room as right next to the restaurant. got a lovely room on the second floor with great views.
1/16/2026
Loved the location. The breakfast was delicious!
12/15/2025
Great location. Rooms were a bit dated. Employees not as friendly as the other 2 resorts. Likely because it was a larger/busier resort.
12/15/2025
Room was dated, but otherwise the facility was nice.
12/14/2025
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.
11/30/2025
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!
11/28/2025
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.
11/18/2025
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.
11/11/2025
Was surprised hair conditioner and bottled water not provided. Loved the pools and restaurants: overall location
6/30/2025
Fantastic hotel with beautiful landscaping and rooms.
Great staff and access to beach was amazing.
6/14/2025
Great Hotel
6/10/2025
Rooms were too small for 4 people. Hotel needs updates for the price
6/8/2025
Overall a nice resort!
4/29/2025
The hotel was in a perfect location. It was just older.
4/28/2025
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.
2/13/2025
Gorgeous hotel
2/11/2025
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.
1/30/2025
It was very nice, we found the other hotels to be friendlier
1/22/2025
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.
1/22/2025
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.
8/20/2024
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.
3/30/2024
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.
7/25/2023
The main parts of the hotel (lobby/pools/bar/restaurant) were beautiful. We had an ocean view room. The first one we had was somewhat run down and had a bad smell to it. It was right at the end near a bar that blasted music in the evenings, so we were unable to sit out on our balcony (it was so loud we coudln't hear one another). There was also a great deal of construction going on in the building. We asked to change rooms away from the bar. The second room we had was much nicer. It was a little bigger/in better condition and we were able to enjoy our evenings on the balcony. The one woman working at the front desk, Maylen, was very nice and helpful. I don't feel like all the front staff workers were as helpful. We enjoyed the pools, the beach, the bar. We liked being near the town. We do think this was a great hotel for the location and amenities.
7/14/2022
Good location, enjoyed the multiple pools and restaurants.
4/9/2022
The hotel is nice, but our room had a slight moldy smell during our whole stay. Staff was very friendly and pool and beach area were maintained cleaned. Security was visual at all areas of the hotel. Breakfast was fresh and delicious.
1/25/2022
We loved our ocean front, open air feeling, just steps from the beach, bar and dinner. We shopped, explored and shopped. We visited the other property and loved the option! Plus the convenience of COVID Test right at resort was so wonderful, quick and no stress.
12/27/2021
The hotel was nice, food was good. We had a pool view which turned out meant the room was across the street from the ocean. I was on crutches so that was a nuisance. The staff was super helpful.
11/27/2021
The room was very small and the beds were not very comfortable. It advertised a four-star hotel but I did not think our room was four star. We had a wonderful time it was in an excellent location in the lobby and the restaurant were beautiful and the food was excellent. Also the jacuzzi pool was cold!
8/16/2021
Again the bedding was not great. Very skimpy. Breakfast was outstanding. The area around the pool in back had lots of dirty dishes around & it attracted lots of ants. Gross!
8/16/2021
I think this is the best place to stay because of access to the beach
6/5/2021
This hotel was amazing
4/23/2021
Loved this place the beds were very hard but overall everything else was perfect.
1/26/2021
Right on the beach, ocean views and everything is right there. Multiple associated/easily walkable restaurants all amazing. Would 100% go back to same resort again and again.
1/4/2021
Loved the hotel but the beds were too hard to get a good nights sleep.
12/31/2020
Beautiful resort and exactly where you want to be In town. For NYE they provided and incredible dinner and champagne toast.
2/19/2020
Beautiful hotel with sprawling grounds, 3 pools, great swim up bars, family friendly areas. We stayed on the ocean side but I am glad we walked across the street to check out the rest of the hotel grounds and pools!
2/14/2020
Parking lot view from front of our room not so special but balcony view was lovely
2/3/2020
Very large resort with all the issues that come with it. All in all, we had a great stay, beaches and pools were great. Very relaxing, and within walking distance to everything.
2/2/2020
Better than expected! The location and views were beautiful. The pools were awesome, breakfast was great, tons of places to hang out and relax.
1/30/2020
The hotel was beautiful and the staff were friendly. Also a fantastic location - right on the beach. I think we had the nicest room in the resort!
1/3/2020
All good
12/31/2019
Gorgeous spot on the beach. The perfect way to end our vacation. Lovely town for walking around and experiencing various restaurants. We also rented a surf board & boogey board for the kids & they did that every day.
12/30/2019
very beautiful hotel and very nicely located on the beach; front desk staff very helpful and nice;
next time i would request to be on beach side and to be closer to lobby; so if across the street then i would requeest room 610 or closer ; the staff were great and moved me from room 630 to 610 and that was terrific;
we loved this resort and location as well; i feel for new years they should have offered the midnite champagene to all the guests; they were a bit cheap and asking for some ticket for this; also i feel the hotel should have a hot tub near the beach pool; the restaurant by the beach has very poor service and noone going around to the pool and offering to buy drinks; also they have a very strange towel system; that i found cumbersome; i really dont think this towel system is necessary for such a high quality hotel and also half the tiem noone is even at the towel centre
12/23/2019
Beautiful resort and extremely helpful staff. My son was sick during our trip and the hotel staff did everything possible to help us arrange a doctor's visit to make sure he was okay. Our toilet seat was broken in one of the rooms and they replaced it within the hour! (during this busy season)
12/7/2019
Lovely hotel and terrific location. They were doing refurbishment works at reception which you informed as in advance. The breakfast was rather poor. The original room we were given wasn't really pool view. We asked to be moved and the hotel was very kind in accommodating us.
8/14/2019
Some of the staff were really friendly and other not at all. No hot water. Cold hot tub in pool area. Bar/restaurant closed for a private event one entire night - and they were very loud. Grounds were very nice and location was great. Had 2 ocean front rooms which was great especially since the other side (family side) was dead while we were there. Would have been very boring. Drinks are over priced. Breakfast was great.
8/7/2019
A little pricey but worth it. Also, a very crowded hotel, people everywhere.
6/26/2019
Construction at hotel bar. Some noisy neighbors.
6/25/2019
The pool and the beach were really fun, and the food was great. A slice of paradise. Our room was broken into the first night (I thought I had locked the sliding door but had not) but nothing was taken.
6/19/2019
great location and wonderful to be able to walk in town for other food and drink options
5/26/2019
The staff was friendly but a little light on English. They are also not very helpful about activities in the area. Weather was very rainy which is not their fault but they had nothing on hand for a rainy day, (deck of cards, game of chess, etc.) Also it was only about 20% occupied so it did not feel much like a resort.
5/3/2019
Love this hotel - right on the beach and howler monkeys on the roof.
3/13/2019
Nice hotel in a fun, busy location. However, the staff was definitely not as friendly as all of our other Costa Rican experiences. Beautiful beach location. We just didn't like the constant peddling and disturbing family time from vendors on the beach and on the streets. That was overwhelming and annoying. They even bothered us while we were on the hotel premises which we were told they aren't allowed to do that.
2/20/2019
Very nice accommodation.
2/2/2019
Great location. Nice beach. Good food. My only real complaint is that we were on the third floor of building 10 and the street noise was extremely loud all night long. We did not sleep well for the four nights that we stayed there.
1/22/2019
This hotel was very nice and we loved our ocean views. The location couldn't be beat because we could easily walk to shops and restaurants. The breakfast buffet and beachside restaurant had really good food. The beach and ocean were perfect. We always found lounge chairs at the beach and I like that we could be on the grassy lawn and find some shade underneath the trees. The only thing I would change is the room cleaning schedule is in the morning when we were coming back from breakfast and getting ready for our day. I wish it would have been over lunchtime when were sure to be gone everyday.
1/9/2019
Beds were a little hard.
1/8/2019
Staff is not very friendly. Particularly at the tour desk.
1/7/2019
This place is amazing. We tried to do 2 nights here but would have had to pay for the 3rd night at Wyndham due to the change request with only a days notice. It is nice being right in the middle of everything. The beach. The restaurants. The property is really nice and the gym was better than the other hotels we stayed at. The pool, restaurant and ocean views were simply breathtaking. Loved this place.
1/2/2019
Had beachfront room. Band next door was loud until 2a.m. on first night then midnite on 2nd nite. Room was a little small but ok. Pool and beach were very nice.
12/27/2018
Awesome.
12/23/2018
resort and all staff was wonderful
12/20/2018
Rooms somewhat in need of renovation and repairs. Location was great. Beach and great surfing right in front of hotel. Walking distance to everything.
12/14/2018
Best hotel on the beach.
10/29/2018
Kevin was our personal maître d'!!! He took excellent care of us at all times at the bar, restaurant, etc. He has a particularly excellent talent for customer service!!! The beach front room was superb! The tour desk was good!
10/7/2018
Beautiful resort! The restaurant was unfortunately under construction while we were there, but the rest of the resort was amazing.
10/7/2018
This resort was great! The only thing I wish was different were the amount of beach vendors trying to sell things that would not leave us alone. However, I know this was a public beach, so the resort was not able to do anything about this.
10/4/2018
Loud cars driving by early morning and late at night. The hotel is set beautifully next to the beach but should have better insulation so you’re not woken up by cars driving by. Food is good.
8/19/2018
We loved this hotel. We had 3rd floor ocean view rooms that were fantastic. The rooms were small, but updated, clean and pretty. We loved the location of this hotel - on the beach and walking distance to so many things.
8/14/2018
We were definitely spoiled coming here from Arenal Springs. The hotel was beautiful, but we didn't spend much time in the pool areas as they were located across the street. The one day we did go to a pool, the adults only pool bar was not even open. The staff here was also not very friendly. There were a few that were very nice and helpful, Jaquine in the restaurant and Randall that helped us with bags in particular.
The room was fine, but we were essentially in a basement, as our room backed up to a dirt wall. There were also people that would cut between the back door of our room and the dirt wall. This was very surprising. Especially when you didn't know that was going to happen. It was also loud. We expected that to an extent, but I was expecting more of traffic noise. It was as if the doors were open to the hall at all hours. The street noise was not bad at all compared to the noise coming from the hallway.
Tamarindo is such a cute town, and the hotel was nice, but I think the staff could have been friendlier and we should have not chosen the room that we did.
9/14/2017
This hotel was great! Very secure, clean and convenient to everything in downtown Tamarindo. The pools were beautiful, the staff was great, and we loved the breakfast. The only thing we didn't love was that there was a marathon occurring at the hotel while we were there and did not know about it. It was VERY loud. at 2am. There was no chance of sleeping. Fireworks were going off too. The rest of our stay was great, though
9/7/2017
Great location, wonderful beach front. The entire town had a friendly helpful atmosphere about it. The bell hop was the best of all.
9/7/2017
Really good breakfast!
8/12/2017
This was a beautiful hotel, great wet bar (with soda for the girl!) and a BEAUTIFUL view for breakfast!!
8/10/2017
Hot tub was just luke warm, needed to be much hotter. Would have been nice to have lawn chairs down by the water that belonged to the hotel that we could enjoy. Appreciated the hotel accommodating our request to have side by side rooms with our kids.
4/26/2017
This hotel was not up to our expectations for the cost. We will not stay there again when we return to Costa Rica. The staff was unfriendly and lowered the overall experience for this stay.
4/13/2017
This was a beautiful resort close to the beach.
4/11/2017
Adult poolside bar was the absolute best! Luis the bartender was outstanding!
Oceanside bar was absolutely horrible. Next time we will not stay in that area but by the adult pool/bar.
3/24/2017
Amazing hotel and location!
2/28/2017
Very nice resort, just didn't like Tamarindo in particular. It was too busy with tourists and peddlers.
2/25/2017
We were in the oldest part of the hotel, the rooms were small, but the views were well worth it. The hotel was gorgeous. We spent a lot of time at the Adults only pool. Special Shout out to the bartender LUIS. This man made the experience perfect. We couldn't have asked for a more attentive activity leader. This man did it all. Sang, made the best drinks, told jokes, ordered our lunches and was a great conversational asset. We love you LUIS!!!!!
2/18/2017
location is great. beach is great.
2/14/2017
we had a pleasant stay and the staff was excellent and enjoyed practicing English. The breakfasts were plentiful. i wish there were screens on our terrace doors so we could open them at night and hear the ocean instead of the traffic.
2/6/2017
This is the highlight of the whole trip. It just does not get better! Scenery AMAZING! Accomodation AMAZING! Food AMAZING! The greater "Randall" was the ultimate in Customer Service and so friendly. The pool Bartender was hilarious and so much fun to hang out with. Tons of great shopping, lots to do just hanging around. I am trying to talk our young adult kids to plan their weddings here! I LOVED IT.. LOVED IT!
1/27/2017
Good hotel, middle of town, liked that I could order and have my room billed when running around in swim trunks. Room wasn't what we ordered, so we had to make due with two twins, instead of the large single bed we had reserved. That's my only real complaint. Breakfast was pretty good and the food at the varying parts of the hotel (the beachside restaurant and pizza parlor) was pretty good.
1/21/2017
We enjoyed exploring the town on foot and the easy beach access. Our room had a wonderful view of the ocean. The room itself was spacious but was a basic hotel room. There were some visible repairs to wall plaster / paint in several places. We enjoyed the balcony. The room key was problematic. This was especially frustrating when we had walked up three flight to our floor. We had to have the keys replaces several times. We enjoyed meals in the restaurants associated with the hotel. Our favourite was the Garden of Eden. We also enjoyed some wonderful meals in other independent restaurants in town. The woman at Guest Services was very helpful We enjoyed the pools and walking the beach.
12/22/2016
Air conditioning unit loud. Noise at restaurants next door.
12/21/2016
The only down side to this is that my wife and I stayed here 17 years ago on our honeymoon. We weren't quite prepared for how big the resort had grown in that time and our expectations of a smaller hotel weren't what we found. But 2 days in the new place grew on us and I really came to enjoy it. It still had everything would want in a hotel and we enjoyed the Lagoon pool every afternoon after a morning in the ocean.
12/21/2016
Beautiful, great location!
12/21/2016
I loved watching the lizards on the walls.
12/15/2016
Loved this place. It was exactly what we wanted. Pricey but fabulous. Love the Iguanas roaming about.
11/23/2016
Rude staff! We had several issues when we were at this hotel. The breakfast was the worst part. Not enough seating and uncooked eggs. I would not stay here again.
11/23/2016
I did not like this place. The morning after we checked in I wanted to go home. Nobody was nice.
11/22/2016
Perfect location in the heart of the action. We didn't have towels in our room until day 2, but that wasn't a big problem. Just used our beach towels.
11/15/2016
It took 4 hours for us to receive a room key and we were just sitting in the reception the whole time. I know they were busy but I wish they've would have tried to locate another room. Otherwise everything was good!
9/20/2016
This place is un real. So amazing. The lagoon pools are top notch and the beaches and great. The hotel has 6 restaurants connected that are amazing.. This resort is beautiful.. Hands down the sickest spot on the trip.. Worth every penny.. 10/10
8/15/2016
Best hotel! Best view! Best beach in the world! Great staff! Food was wonderful!
8/3/2016
Coming from Florida on the gulf of Mexico..it was a typical beach town. But then, we're spoiled.
7/27/2016
Excellent place but you have to stay on the beach side with a view of the beach and sunset. We changed 3 times as it seemed they kept trying to put us in their cheapest, least desirable rooms. You may want to talk to them about giving guest you send them better rooms.
7/12/2016
The room was very nice despite the shower either burning you or not having hot water at all. We enjoyed the adults only pool and the location was convenient. The staff wasn't as friendly as other locations but that may be because of the touristy feel of the area. The beach at the hotel was very nice but a little rocky so we had to be careful
7/4/2016
The extra bed was not super comfortable for the kids. A room with bunk beds would have been nice
6/20/2016
Beautiful hotel in an amazing location. Met every expectation.
6/8/2016
Rooms and bathroom are very small especially for a family of 4.
6/8/2016
Not as nice as the Springs, but did not cost as much either. Was certainly adequate. Plus it was on the beach and had free breakfast. Location was perfect.
5/25/2016
Very nice, friendly, and helpful people. Great atmosphere, food, location. Overall absolutely nothing negative to say. Would highly recommend.
5/25/2016
Beach had more rocks, and many vendors bothering us. The breakfast buffet was ok not so great. Drinks during happy hours was wonderful because of great prices.
5/13/2016
Having experienced a room facing the ocean before, I would have requested a similar room.
4/25/2016
The resort was beautiful and kept immaculately clean. We both came down with traveler's tummy about halfway through our stay in Taramindo so we didn't really get to experience the hotel to the fullest extent.
4/6/2016
Of all the hotels we stayed at the staff at this hotel was probably the least friendly, mainly because this hotel is extremely crowded with very long lines to check in. The food was terrible and not of the quality of the other hotels.
3/18/2016
Very nice hotel and loved the location!
3/15/2016
We really liked the Diria and Tamarrindo, will go there again. Staff was very friendly and helped us all they could including retrieving my jacket I left on the shuttle bus.
3/13/2016
problems with keys; late access to the room; maid service inconsistent; problem with bill when leaving (wrong charges)
2/29/2016
up grade to beachside worthwhile
2/29/2016
Great breakfast and sunsets. Did not care for all the sellers at the beach
2/26/2016
This was right on the beach and their restaurant was as well but this was a very hotel and that left the staff distracted. The pool which looks rather large in the photos online was actually quite small and right next to the front desk. This felt a bit awkward so we did not use the pool at this hotel.
2/7/2016
Great place. Would highly recommend it.
2/7/2016
Hotel was fine and close to restaurants and boutiques. Chamber maids took an eternity to do up my room even though I was gone early in the morning. Would not go to Taramrindo again as it was too commercial , much like many American resorts and more expensive.
2/6/2016
This was a beautiful resort! The staff was great, breakfast provided was excellent with lots of variety. Our rooms had a beautiful view of the ocean. I would highly recommend this resort.
2/4/2016
This is a very nice hotel located right on the beach. Busier and at times noisier than the other two hotels.
1/26/2016

Very nice resort! Central location close to lots of fun things! The service was amazing, as soon as we switched activities they had already printed out our vouchers and slipped them under our door! Amazing!

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.
