A terrific location, right at the beach, and in the heart of Tamarindo. No pool onsite, but privileges to a great pool a short walk away.

Literally right on the beach; the photos look EXACTLY like what you will get! The staff is super nice and helpful. The property is gated at the front and beach entrance, and there is even a security guard to keep the riffraff out at night. You won't get all the amenities of a hotel, but you will not find a better spot and the price is exceptional.

This property is right on the ocean and right in the middle of the strip - everything walkable. The room is basic & small but it was only a one night stop for us. If staying longer, I would look into the rooms with patio door walkout. Clean, Bathroom w/ a shower with great water pressure, TV, small fridge and toiletries. Free Parking & free breakfast was just a 5 minute walk away across the street at larger hotel owned by same owner. Breakfast was delicious & great coffee/juices - buffet but guy there to make eggs/omelets/crepes. Excellent price (for Tamarindo) for being right on the beach and free breakfast!

Adorable and Exotic Boutique Hotel Nestled in the PERFECT LOCATION. Access the beach directly from your hotel or walk a few steps to the many amenities lined up down the block. You are in the heart of the action and there’s no better feeling. I will never forget being greeted by two lovely women who worked at the Front Desk-they were so amazing! In fact, everyone was cheerful, friendly and very helpful! I recommend this place to anyone who wants to park the car and explore the beauty of Tamarindo during daytime and night..on foot. It gets super busy, and you are going to appreciate this perk! So, prime location and amazing experience. Thank you, ladies! 😊

Lovely stay! Pamela and Naomi, the two receptionists, are so sweet and always greet you with a smile— they are awesome. It is safe, clean and right on the beach. The back gate opens directly onto the beach. It’s amazing! There is a security guard at night so you can always feel safe. Great for single travellers and couples. Really loved my stay here everyone is really nice and I can’t wait to go back. Breakfast is included in your stay - it’s a delicious buffet across the street offered through their sister hotel (Diria Tamarindo). The beach is beautiful and lots of fun shops and a great beach to learn to surf.

Good location, friendly start, not the cleanest. The noise was unbearable specially when they started doing construction at midnight while talking between each other very loud. We stayed in room 1 and one of the beds was so hard that felt like camping. On the bright side, breakfast at Diria Hotel and the Diria pool was very good.
