The rooms here are equivalent to a Days Inn. There is no way you would ever want to spend more than 5 minutes inside. The beach is decent but there are vendors approaching you constantly, so it’s not a relaxing experience. The hotel does not actually have beach chairs (or food service) on the beach, you have to get those from vendors. The restaurant and bar were meh. There is a German man that lives at the hotel. When I was there, he had “adopted” a baby possum which he carried around with him everywhere and hand fed it at the bar. It was completely disgusting. Oh and this man’s dog roamed around the restaurant begging people for food. I was supposed to stay for three nights but left after two and went to the W Reserva Conchal. I knew the Diria wasn’t the Four Seasons, but it definitely wasn’t for me. Positives were the beach view from my room, my patio (which was not very private, but ok), and the cute pool. Other reviewers have given this place a 4.1 rating. If your tastes are more aligned with the W/Four Seasons then you may find this place a solid 2.5.
We had a fantastic stay at Tamarindo Diria Beach Resort. We are a family or four and we had an ocean view room on the ground floor. The room was perfect for us. We loved the direct access to the ocean, pool, and bar. The food was fantastic. The inclusive breakfast was a great start to the day and the dinners at the ocean front restaurant were terrific too, Our kids surfed for the first time and loved it. Our family did an all day adrenaline tour with Tamarindo Diria that was so much fun. We zipped, tubed, rode horses and relaxed in hot springs. During our stay the staff was very kind to us. Even with all of the fun and adventure, my favorite part was the incredible sunsets.
We stayed here for our honeymoon and had a great time! The surrounding area is the best part - the beach is amazing, the shopping is great, and there are plenty of dining options all within walking distance. I give the hotel itself 4/5 stars - it was very nice, but it's a huge hotel with many guests and sometimes the staff made you feel like you were just one of the many guests. They give you everything you need and service is just fine but it at times it lacked that extra oomph of great service. I think the next time we go to Tamarindo we may look for a smaller, more boutique hotel because that's simply what we prefer - but if you are looking for a hotel right on the beach with, for the most part, good service and amenities then this hotel won't let you down! It's hard to go wrong when you're in Tamarindo!! All in all, I recommend.
The property looks nice visually when I arrived with the open lobby, pool, with a view of the ocean. Breakfast buffet was great too. Hotel Tamarindo Diria, however, needs maintenance and TLC. We stayed at a room with ocean view so this was not a cheap room. I was not pleased with the condition of the room. The bathroom was also small compared to other hotels I stayed at in Costa Rica.
The lobby was amazing, rooms were a little small and plain. For that kind of money I’d like the room to match the lobby. Location in Tamarindo was great and just a quick walk across the street to the adult pool
Staff were rude and did not explain stupid details... limited towels, internet access and breakfast time. Would never return to Costa Rica! First time not doing an all inclusive and will definitely be our last!
The staff was unfriendly and appeared to busy at check in. They dis not have time to explain the property or amenities. Did not show us where anything was or direct us towards the restaurants or pools. The room had ants and a roach. My room had a leak from the ceiling on the second night, i called the front desk who sent maintence up. He opened the ceiling panel and got soaked. Come to find out it was toilet water from the room above,not air conditioner water like i thought. They were jot going to put us in a new room intiially anf after complaining they finally changed us to a new room. They did not offer us an upgrade or apologize. After my boyfriend complained they gave us a dinner voucher that was only good for that night and it was already 7pm. The staff is rude Property not worth the price Only good thing about the place was ita right on the beach Would not recommend to anyone
love this hotel , close to everything, clean and great food!
Very kind staff and was glad to meet the owner and chat a bit. The room was more than adequate and the location is exceptional within Tamarindo. The clientele is quite old but access to the surf, beaches, etc. can't be beat. We'll come back with our kids next time...
The staff are always efficient and lovely. Unfortunately, we were not alerted to the fact that the hotel is undergoing major renovations, which includes jackhammers early in the morning until early evening, and construction workers rolling wheelbarrows full of concrete and other materials through the lobby, pool area and yard. This made it VERY uncomfortable for guests and their children. There was no discount offered or any other compensation. We spent 10 nights there and were scheduled to spend another 10 nights later this month. We are making arrangements to stay elsewhere for the remainder of our trip! I discourage anyone from staying here until the renovations are complete. The rooms and facilities are due for an upgrade as they are quite dated as well. VERY DISAPPOINTED!!!
