" Diria is a beautiful hotel right in the middle of the strip in tamarindo! The condos are fantastic as well. The hotel rooms walk right out to the most beautiful beach you will ever see a pacific sunset on. Breakfast was included and authentic! Highly recommend staying at Diria! "

" This is currently more about the tour desk, which is technically part of the hotel. We stopped by the tour desk yesterday and happened to catch a very unhappy couple in the midst of argument with the desk manager (Bryan)
Not knowing all the details, I was staying neutral in terms of picking sides; however I was ultimately taken aback by the other desk employee making a disparaging comment about the guests after they left in disgust. Despite the upset guest's advice not to use the Hotel's Tour Desk, I went ahead and booked an all day tour for our family of 4. Well before the 24 hr cancellation period, my wife decided she didn't want to go and attempted to cancel at the desk. The same woman from the day before was at the tour desk and would not agree to the cancellation (not clear why not). I stopped by the desk after breakfast to try and resolve the matter myself. Long story short, the same woman ultimately gave me the runaround as well and proceeded to disparage my wife as if she thought that it was normal to just disparage everyone. After multiple attempts to get me to exchange my wife's cancellation amount for hotel credit, she told me I would need to come back at noon to speak with her manager (Bryan). Instead I went back to my room and sent an email to Bryan & Customer Relations advising them not only was I was cancelling my wife's tour, I was cancelling for the entire family as well as the two spa treatments I had reserved. I could have taken the first customer's advice not to book with them and in retrospect I should have. It is never acceptable to disparage guests in the hospitality industry. "

" The Location is fabulous [ very touristy area ] your in the middle of everything shops, restaurants,Surf shops,a Brewery,Casino-small but close by. Staff was great I just wonder how they put up with occasional traveler all day long it's beyond my patience.Facilities on the Ocean side is the best though the only snag was our room was small { room 111} great location Ocean level we had a TB room { Tsunami Bate } you have to think about that with all the active Volcanoes in the area.
Of all the Hotels,B&B,Motels that we have been to all over the World this one is the absolutely the best included breakfast ever hands down{Oceanside part of the Hotel} we stayed 4 nights that's about all we could handle being in a small room still highly recommended by a Old Salty Dog. "

" Outstanding hotel and beach. Quirky, as it straddles the main road but there are helpers to make sure the traffic stops. Even though it’s not all inclusive, you don’t need much cash as the bars and restaurants allow you to charge to the room.
Tip: turn right and walk along the beach until you get to the river, then get one of the boat owners to give you a tour up the river. Don’t try swimming across to the national park on the other side though, there are crocodiles in there! "

" Very nice hotel. Beautiful pools and view from the room. However, no room service and drinks were very expensive. Almost like they don't want you drinking there, $8 for a beer. You can go anywhere else in town and get a beer for $3. "

" Wonderful pool facilities, beautiful landscaping and views. Shower wasn't the most enjoyable, but overall our favorite thing about staying in Tamarindo, staying at the resort. No hot tubs to speak of though, there were small pools with jets, but it was pool temp water. "

" Beautiful grounds, nice choose of pools and grassy area in front of beach. Good security and friendly cleaning and wait service. I hope they get paid well! Free breakfast was nice. There is a few monkeys on the grounds . Check in and out could be a little faster or with more staff. "

" The hotel was good, clean. The service is cool. You have to be careful with the receptionist. In my experience, there was one male receptionist who was rude to me and I didn't know why, he completely ignored my presence and talked to my wife about all information even everything was under my name. People said that that's how most of people who are living in the tourist city like Tamarindo, they make good money so theyre snobby. I'm not sure. I'm only helping you to avoid being upset. "

" I'm really conflicted at this hotel. When I left I was convinced I was going to give it a one-star review their front desk made me so mad. They have a policy (printed up may I add) that says you can stay an extra hour if you request it the night before. I did this so my family could enjoy the pool and then they said they would do this for an extra $80 since we had two rooms. After I showed them the policy that I brought back from the room, they then pointed at the asterisk that says it is at the discretion of the front desk to decide if they will allow for late check-out. Now, in full-disclosure as mad as this made me the rest of the hotel was amazing. Their breakfast overlooked the beach with amazing food. They had multiple pools. My kids thought it was cool that frogs showed up at night at the lagoon pool. And the beach in front of the hotel was amazing as well. Last, there was an abundance of security there and they were always looking around at cars making you feel very secure. I would stay there again, but I still call their policy on late-check-out lame.
