We stayed here on the last 2 nights of our trip to Costa Rica and it was a very welcome stop. Easy, relaxed, and safe. Modern facilities. Clean rooms. Beautiful pools but even better beach access, bars and pools without having to leave the hotel grounds ( you do cross the street but you actually stay within the hotel grounds). The beach and bay reminded us of Hawaii. Gorgeous! Wonderful service, food and facilities. Staff was friendly and helpful. Loved our stay!

Amazing stay at Tamarindo Diria! I traveled here with my 13-year-old daughter, and we loved every minute of it. The pools, beach, staff and grounds were all great, and you're within walking distance of all kinds of shopping, from grocery stores to souvenirs. Our room was a little smaller than I expected, but it was fine overall--we had a great view of the pool. Housekeeping was excellent too. We can't wait to return for another stay! The only downside (not the hotel's fault!) Is that the beach is public, so that created some minor issues. Warning: the chairs on the beach to do not belong to the hotel. You will be accosted to pay $25 to sit in a beach chair by a guy who rents them as his "business," lol. Obviously a rip off, so don't do it. Otherwise the beach was beautiful with lots of shells, tidepools, and really cool volcanic rock. Beautiful sunsets every night, too. Thank you, Tamarindo Diria, staff, for an amazing stay!…

Our trip was a dream from beginning to end. This hotel is absolutely stunning, with a great breakfast every morning, gym, open-air bar, beautiful pools, and beach access. The sunset from the hotel is top notch. The staff was so attentive, flexible, and always greeted us with a smile. Parking is free and across the street in a gated/safe area. A special shout out to May, Eligio, and David, who attended to our needs on a daily basis, were helpful and patient with all our requests, and made us feel welcome without fail. I would definitely come back here again and recommend Diriá to anyone wishing to visit Costa Rica!!

The resort was gorgeous with four pools, one just for adults to do laps. The seafood restaurant was excellent, and the steakhouse. I loved being on the beach, so one didn't worry about leaving keys on a towel. The lagoon pool was lovely with fountains, islands, in water lounge chairs and a bar. The staff were helpful and worked hard.

Farid Garro went above and beyond to ensure our honeymoon stay was top-notch. Between curating a private beach-front dinner with INCREDIBLE food, decorating our room before we arrived, and the overall attentiveness throughout the duration of our trip - the experience wouldn’t have been the same without him! Diria is lucky to have such an incredible concierge on their team.

Another superb stay at the Diria. The staff and services are absolutely superior and the facilities are top notch. This resort is a true family business and the employees are part of the family. It is indeed refreshing to find employees who are happy and have bought into providing excellent value for every guest. We dined at the Brisa Mar, Flying Bull and Nari restaurants and all were fantastic as always. We have been visiting the Diria two to three times per year for more than 12 years and it has only gotten better. This resort is a true gem and we recommend it without hesitation to anyone traveling to Costa Rica.

We have stayed at this resort numerous times over the years, and I am sad to say this was our most disappointing and final stay. Before we even arrived, I reached out via email and phone call to request a transfer from Liberia airport, but I never received a response. This should have been an omen… We paid for a sunset ocean view room with king bed. We were the last room on the third floor with no elevator. When I tried to move rooms as my husband has difficulty with stairs, the only options were ground floor, which offered no privacy from other guests on the lawn, or a double room in the other building. There was no ice machine in our building, and when I called the front desk to ask where to get ice, I was told to go to the bar with no offer of bringing some to the room, thus requiring multiple trips to the bar for ice during our stay. As noted in other reviews, the water was cool to lukewarm at best and the bathroom amenities were embarrassingly lacking for a 4-star resort, really no hair conditioner or lotion?! The inside shower door was broken. Our bathroom towels were never properly replaced, missing washcloths, bath mat, etc., so each day we had to track down housekeeping for these items. Beach towels are limited to one per person, and you have to beg and plead for a second towel. The bed was quite hard and sleeping was difficult after the third night. I spoke to the front desk upon arrival about the room location and I responded to a guest services email at the beginning of our stay as well, yet I never received any response. I realize many of these issues are small, but I consider them unacceptable when paying over $300 per night. The hotel has a prime location and the grounds are beautiful. The staff do a great job of keeping the public areas clean. The food is very good and we enjoyed the restaurant for multiple meals. With that said, the rooms are just not worth the price, therefore we will not be returning to Tamarindo Diria. …

Dear Chris: While we appreciate your loyalty over the years, we would also like to express our disbelief regarding the damaging comments made about your recent visit to our property. When visiting a resort and having certain needs that need to be met, it is fundamental to communicate those requirements prior to your arrival to ensure that all factors have been taken into consideration when assigning the room for your stay - such as mobility issues or any other aspect that could enhance each individual's experience. The timely communication of any malfunction or lack of service gives us the opportunity to act purposefully towards the best solution in the best interest of our guests; not sharing these issues leaves us very little to no room for change. We are very grateful for your visit and hope you will allow us to personalize your next vacation with us chrislH7793TH. Sincerely.

Great experience! Lots of shaded areas to relax, great selection of restaurants and bars in very close proximity. Every staff member we encountered was extremely friendly and helpful. Appeared to be very family-friendly as well, though we don’t have children. We would most definitely recommend.

We loved staying at Tamarindo Diria. We stayed across the street by the Tropicana area. Loved that it was quieter. The grounds were more typical Costa Rica with the beautiful foliage and a family of howler monkeys that visited us everyday. We did spend most of the day walking by the beach during low time.
