    It was off season and empty. But instead of giving me a great room with a view as described. I got a corner room pinched into a wedge with no view. Worst part of it was every nice room with a view was empty.

    Our room was on the other side of the hotel, away from the lobby and main pool and this was not made clear when booking. The price of the hotel is very high.

    The hotel is excellent, the breakfast is excellent, and there are many pools and a beautiful beach.

    Cleanliness of the room- found hairs that weren’t ours several times on sheets. Water wasn’t filtered at the resort so opted to use bottled water to be safe.

    Loved that it was close to the beach! We stayed in a room that was across the street, but it was such a quick walk across and to the beach. The pool was a nice size, easy to find lounge chairs. Fun to listen to the howler monkeys which were hanging out in the treetops on the property. Breakfast buffet was very good! It included made to order omelets, homemade tortillas, fresh fruit, yogurts, pastries, etc. Was pleased they were able to bring a rollaway bed so our kids could each have their own bed. Fun towel creations left by housekeeping.

    They clean the room well and the employees were very nice and helpful. The breakfast buffet is awesome with a lot of choices. There are a lot of restaurants around and the hotel is located in town.

    One major inconvenience was the hairdryer setup in the bathroom. It was attached inside a drawer, with the cord running through it, making it nearly impossible to use comfortably. You basically had to lean into the drawer to dry your hair. Another downside was the breakfast. While the basics were covered, the variety was quite limited, especially for vegetarians. There were very few alternatives, and no plant-based milk options at all, which was disappointing given the otherwise modern setting of the hotel.

    Overall had a pleasant experience, especially because we chose an adults-only room. This gave us a sense of privacy and tranquility, which we really appreciated. The location is also excellent, the area is full of restaurants and everything is easily accessible, whether you’re looking to explore the beach, grab a bite to eat, or book an activity. The stuff was very friendly as well. We enjoyed the calm atmosphere and the convenient location, but there’s definitely room for improvement.

    Too many flies in the restaurant. Maybe you can implement table fans for flies on each table.

    The beach front, excellent layout. Also restaurant with view to the ocean. It's close to many shops and restaurants.

    Nothing, this is a great resort with a lot to offer!

    Great location, close to everything and easy to walk everywhere. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The ceiling fan in the room was a nice touch. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Food and drinks were amazing and the pools and beach were so relaxing. The transport service was great, we booked our return trip to the airport four hours before our flight like the suggested but in the day we were supposed to leave, there was major construction on the road and the staff made sure to make us aware and get us going earlier than we booked so we wouldn’t miss our flight. They got us to the airport with time to spare despite the traffic that was very backed up

    I worried that the staff is overworked and under appreciated. They were all working hard but seemed slightly unhappy even though they were all very pleasant, helpful and friendly.

    Beautiful View of the ocean, sunset. Access to surf lessons. Location. Beautiful facilities, big breakfast spread. Loved the swim up bar.

    I had an incredible stay at the Tamarindo Diria Hotel! The hotel is absolutely beautiful, with three stunning pools that make it feel like paradise. The food was delicious, offering a variety of options that were both tasty and fresh. The entire experience was relaxing, and the staff was super friendly and helpful. Highly recommend this hotel for anyone looking to unwind in a beautiful setting with great amenities!
