Excellent staff from front desk to rentals to cleaning staff, super clean facility. Even with all the wind causing leaves and such to fall in the pool, the staff was constantly cleaning. Breakfast was decent - quality of the cheeses and cold cuts was poor, in my opinion. However, there were many other options to choose from. We had a room with a view of the ocean, I think it's the Sunset room, and it was lovely. However, the bathrooms and rooms need a little bit of an upgrade, especially the bathroom. I'd definitely go to Tamarindo Diria again. Bonus! The extra pool across the street was soooo nice! Felt like a luxurious Vegas pool (complete with swim up bar).

Property was well maintained and very clean. Staff was nice, helpful and friendly. Some could not speak English well.
The bars were well stocked, and had good service.
Breakfast was delicious with many items: eggs cooked to order, pancakes, waffles and lots of other items.
Rooms were roomy, and very clean. The bed was firm but didn’t make our backs hurt
The hotel owned restaurants were delicious.
We will definitely return.

We had a wonderful experience at the Diria. The hotel is beautiful and so lush. 3 pools and the swim up bar made the entire stay relaxing. Plus there are many restaurants on property that had delicious food. The monkeys in the trees were a plus.

Our room was well appointed and modern. Spacious bathroom and shower. Loved the patio overlooking the expansive pool.

Pros:
Plentiful and delicious breakfast buffet.
Close to everything.
Very secure.
A room for every budget.
Helpful staff.
Swim up bar.
Monkeys and iguanas.
Great shops.

Cons:
Confusing parking. Luggage drop off cumbersome.
Only 1 TV channel - Spanish news.
Inconsistent shower temperature.
Peddlers everywhere.

We had a great stay all the staff were super helpful and friendly!!!! We stayed ocean view, our only issue was that the entrance side of room is rite on the main street side and the walls are thin, all nite long you hear motorcycles and cars. But aside from that the included breakfast was AMAZING, huge buffet anything you could imagine plus more!!! The pools are amazing, i imagine the pool view rooms have no traffic noise but maybe some monkeys howling. I would recommend this hotel for travelers comming to this area.

This property is awesome! It’s nice and spread out, but not so much that you have to walk far to get to other buildings/pools, etc. There is a road between the buildings, but it’s super safe to cross, and not even that big of a deal. The rooms are very nice and clean and look just like the photo’s. There are 4 pools, and one swim up bar. Daily breakfast consists of a huge buffet, with something different each day. My favorite was the specialty coffee maker. My husbands favorite was the green juice. The location is PERFECT. It’s right on the beach and right smack in the middle of the downtown area, surrounded by shops and restaurants. It’s quite easy to get lounge chairs with shade on the beach (for a cheap fee), and they have vendors selling drinks and massages. And if sand isn’t your vibe, there is a huge grassy area in the front of the beach with free lounge chairs. Highly highly recommend this hotel. I traveled with my husband and two teenagers and everyone loved it. We will definitely be back.

Breakfast was the first thing on our minds each day. We fed squirrels birds and an iguana each day from the table. Beach is perfect especially right at the resort. Ate at several of the resort restaurants all were excellent. Everything was perfect. So far our favorite part of cr is Tamarindo.

The hotel was centrally located. It was walking distance to all the restaurants and the Diria restaurants were excellent. very safe. The hotel is adjacent to the beach which is fantastic. Staff was great. a big shout out to Brenda, she was excellent. The breakfast was very good. We will definitely return to the hotel and recommend it to anyone. They organized our pickup from the hotel which was seamless.

The only downside was our room entrance was facing the side street and it was noisy in the mornings.

I had a very goos stay at the Tamarindo Diria Beach Resort and would definitely rate the hotel itself five stars. The property has two sections—one directly on the beach and another across the street, which is where I stayed. My room was fantastic, with high ceilings, a jacuzzi on the balcony, and a very quiet and relaxing atmosphere.

The location is excellent and reminded me a little of Aruba in the sense that you can walk in almost any direction for a quarter mile or so and find shops, restaurants, and plenty of dining options. There is also a local church not too far away, which was nice to visit.

The food in the area was a little hit or miss. While walking around, I was occasionally approached by people trying to sell things or even offering drugs, so certain parts of the surrounding area could feel a little sketchy at times. That being said, the hotel grounds themselves felt very safe, secure, and well monitored.

The guests and many of the people around the property were extremely friendly. Some of the staff, however, didn’t always seem to fully embrace the warm “Pura Vida” spirit I expected.

The hotel is about an hour from the airport, and the drive was a little tough in both directions. Still, considering the roughly four-and-a-half-hour flight, the overall trip was well worth it. The breakfast was very good also and not expensive if it wasn’t included in your package. A beautiful property, a fantastic room, and a great Costa Rica experience overall.

The resort was pretty. The buffet was good. The rooms are outdated. Biggest drawback, and it's big, is that you were not to flush any toilet paper in the toilet- requested to put into a waste basket. Their outdated plumbing could not support it. Never heard that before and it's really not a good look for the 'resort'.

The resort is beautiful, especially on the ocean side of the street. The pool at the other side is large with a swim-up bar and very pleasant. Front desk and site personnel were great. Concierge not so much. I could tell they just book with the companies they have an agreement with, without any concern for what we are looking for- they were on autopilot and just pointed to whatever was shown on their iPad. I wouldn't recommend doing the ATV forest tour through them. It was mostly farmland with some forest, and saw zero animals. The estuary mangrove tour was excellent, and I would recommend going as early as possible.

The breakfast buffet was excellent, with seating overlooking the ocean.

The rooms are as expected and clean. The view from the oceanfront rooms is gorgeous. No toilet paper allowed in toilets, just fyi.

The restaurants on the \"Boulevard\" had extra-long waits for food. The servers were all pleasant but either short-staffed or highly disorganized. DO NOT TRY THEIR SUSHI restaurant. Worst sushi ever eaten in our lives. The hotel's gelataria was great and reasonably priced. The lines look long, but they are well-staffed and go fast.

The Bar is good about having pitchers of water to refill water bottles, but otherwise, there isn't a dedicated water refill station. There is a liquor store near the hotel where you can buy bottled water, Gatorade, soda, etc.

Location is NOT secluded but near shops and restaurants, which is what we wanted.

We had originally booked a different 5 star in the area and it turned out to be more like a 3 star due to maintenance and state of rooms so we cancelled that last minute and came to Diria. We were unsure initially because it is a 4 star. It turned out to be a great decision. This is a new and beautifully maintained property. Great pools, beach and helpful staff. Also right in the heart of all the activity in Tamarindo! Absolutely recommend for anyone traveling to tamarindo with our without kids. It was significantly better than the property listed as 5 star not too far from there for a similar price too.

Our family absolutely loved our stay at Tamarindo Diria. We are talking about coming back and inviting more family to join us. The hotel is beautiful. Rooms are simple and clean. We relished the ocean view with incredible sunsets and the waves. The breakfest buffet is extensive and fantastic with options for all types of eaters. We loved having the restaurant literally on the beach in the open air and enjoyed not only breakfast but nearly all of our meals there where you are able to order from menus from some of the surrounding establishments. The pool complexes are beautiful too. Parking was easy and staff were incredibly helpful. The beach was the highlight of our trip withsand, warm water, beautiful views and lovely storms at times. We rented surf boards and boogie boards and had excellent service and quality. Above all, the staff of Diria were delightful and we felt very much at home. They were caring and kind, warm and welcoming.

Arenal Manoa was spectacular - the views, the wildlife, food, pools and the hot springs. It was all laid out perfectly, everything within a few minutes walk. We had an amazing view of the volcano and jungle from our spacious room and my daughter loved the plants in the bathroom :). The hot springs were perfection - we made several visits each day. Staff was kind and attentive. One of the groundskeepers even called my daughter over to give her a beautiful flower from their trimmings. I would highly recommend the resort for anyone.

Not worth the money.

The pool and gardens are beautiful, and the breakfast was decent, but unfortunately the positives ended there. Our room was dated and had a persistent odor that felt like a mix of humidity and mold.

The ice machine in our building was out of service for the entire week of our stay, leaving only one working machine in another building. Basic amenities were also lacking: the shampoo felt like dish soap, and neither conditioner nor body lotion was provided, forcing us to purchase our own supplies at a local market.

What made the experience truly disappointing, however, was a serious privacy issue. A male employee entered the women's pool restroom without announcing himself and proceeded to open stall doors even after being told they were occupied. The hotel stated that they would \"open an investigation,\" but the incident should never have happened in the first place.

Overall, this was far below the standard we expected for the price paid. We will not be returning.

Breakfast was on par with the food we had in Miraflores but most of the other food left a lot to be desired. Just not flavorful with the exception of the ceviche which was good.

Overall a nice stay at the resort and we enjoyed the pools and facilities. There were empty plastic cups floating in the pool toward the end of the day once, though.

Direct access to the beach was very nice. Staff was wonderful and helpful. The towel limitations were annoying.

Honestly we felt catfished by this hotel. When we booked we thought the hotel looked amazing, but when we arrived we felt deceived. I can list all the horrible things we experienced starting with their towel policy. They give you tickets for pool towels which you can only get from the front desk which is across the street from our room. If you lose the towel or the ticket you have to pay $20 so that added extra stress to our stay. The hotel room is filled with bugs which sneak in under the front door that has a large gap from the floor. There is no extra entertainment when you are stuck indoors by the torrential rain. If there was a game room we were not aware of it because upon arrival we were not given much information. The breakfast was horrific. You check in with their host and she marks off your room number then says \"have a great meal\" and leaves you to search for an open table which they had none so you are left standing until someone leaves. The food itself was absolute garbage. The service was not memorable and we felt like everywhere you went someone was trying to get more money out of you. Definitely would not recommend this place to anyone.

Overall the resort was very nice and location was great. Breakfast was good.
The rooms are a bit dated. We had to request an iron and board. The cleaning service needs improvement. There were days we had to ask for towels. They wouldn’t replenish the dirty ones. They didn’t refill the soap dispenser nor leave an extra toilet paper. All items we had to call the front desk for.
Once we did, we did receive them quickly but it was an inconvenience to constantly call.
The hotel should have some entertainment. There is absolutely nothing in the evening.
They have a nice big bar with a large tv screen but never play big sporting events. Playoff NBA or NHL would have attracted alot more people. Instead we had to find local bars.
Finally not many smiles from the workers at this resort including the front desk.
It needs a friendlier environment.

We would recommend this resort based on many factors. We stayed right up front but the beach is easy from anywhere. Walking is easy to restaurants and shops. The restaurants and the bar on the resort were nice. The pools were very nice. Breakfast was good every morning and the fruit was always tip top. Parking our car rental was easy in and out. Getting towels was an easy exchange and the wash station right off the sand was very helpful.

Our room phone wasn't working, so we had to go downstairs to the front desk whenever we had a question. We made staff aware of this the first day, but there was never any follow up on this.

Wrist bands were used to enter the room. Three of the four we received failed within the second try.

On the good side, the buffet breakfast was excellent. And most of the staff were professional.

The worst thing that happened: I accidentally made two identical reservations for my trip, both for arrival on May 14, 2026, for a two-night stay. Upon arrival, the receptionist, Irene, noted the duplicate booking and I confirmed it was an honest mistake. However, when I followed up the next day, I was informed that the front desk manager had decided I was responsible for both reservations, resulting in an additional charge of over $800. If the hotel were full I could understand, but the hotel was far from full! I was told I could use this amount as a credit for a future stay, but I am 80 years old and this was a once-in-a-lifetime trip for me. The front desk appeared embarrassed about this decision and suggested appeal to Mr. David Gonzalo, a senior guest manager. I emailed him two weeks ago, and he has not had the courtesy to even reply.

Shame on them for purposely gouging me like that!

Kind of torn on my experience here. For a first time traveler to Tamarindo, this seemed like a great option. The pools and location are very nice.
The rooms, service, and everything else seem more like an afterthought. From check-in to drinks at the bar, there was little to no help at all and definitely no warm welcome. The rooms and most of the property feel like they quit updating it 20 years ago, it just happens to be on such a beautiful piece of beach that you overlook it completely. If it weren’t for the location being top tier, I don’t think this option would be nearly as popular as it is.
3/5 for me

The resort was beautiful and we enjoyed our stay. Location was great. Food was delicious. Pools with swim-up bars were the best. We saw monkeys in the trees and iguanas swimming in the pool. We were there in April so no crowding. The balcony overlooking the pool was great.

At check-in the desk clerk was very short and impolite.
Ice machine for our section of the resort (across the street from the beach and restaurant) was out, making it inconvenient. The AC (mini split) only cooled the area it was in leaving the bed area warm. The adult pool was not the adult pool.

And the bartenders need to be a lot faster. 20 min for a drink is crazy when there are only 8 people at the bar, consistently for 6 straight nights. Other than that the location is prime and my family had a great time.
