Home-base for beachside adventures

My best friend and I had a wonderful five-night stay at Tamarindo Diria. Tamarindo has so much to offer (we took surf lessons, explored the town, went to the beach, enjoyed the pools at the facilities, booked excursions, etc.), and the hotel itself is a great jumping-off point. We ate at the hotel for breakfast every morning, and the buffet was great (and the giant, shady veranda with a view of the beach was amazing). The hotel staff was very friendly, there's a nice bar, and the pools are outstanding, as is the location (right on the beach). We also booked an airport transfer, which was seamless. Highly recommend!

It had been 10 years since life allowed us to return!
 

The pandemic hit, we got married, had babies, but always planned on returning to the Diria. Wow, have they stepped it up! The service has always been top-notch at the Diria, and that hasn't changed. Juan, our driver, who brought us, was kind and I enjoyed our conversation very much. The food and views at Brisa Mar were amazing! Our server, Ruslan, was always attentive to our needs. The resort now offers surfboard rentals, and Gaston was super friendly and knowledgeable, helping us get on the waves right away. Alison at the adult pool makes the best mojitos in all of Tamarindo, and we enjoyed chatting with her. Genesis at the sushi restaurant was amazing, and wow, that spicy salmon roll was good!! This was my wife’s first time here, and now she wants to bring the entire extended family. Tamarindo Boulevard is more developed and as safe as always. We can’t wait to share the "Pura Vida" experience with the most important people in our lives. Well done, Diria!!

Great experience
 

The room was adequate and very clean. The large shower was a plus. The pools and restaurants were beyond expectation and perfect for our large family group. Brenda, one of the servers, took great care of our large group while we relaxed by the pool during the day.

Great Hotel Stay at Tamarindo Diria
 

We just spent 11 days at the Tamarindo Diria and loved every minute. We had an ocean view room and could see the waves from the beach at high tide! The sunset views were even more fantastic. We enjoyed pool bar drinks, service, and food just a minute walk across the street (Thanks to Danny and Roxana for the great service every day!). The free breakfast buffet was great and offered a wide selection of food. Our room was always clean by 10 am and very comfortable too! This location offers easy access to many restaurants, bars, and shops which are in easy and walking distance. No car was needed. Overall, all of the workers were very friendly and helpful. It was our first trip to Costa Rica and Tamarindo, so this resort was the best place for us to call home base to explore, relax, and enjoy Pura Vida! Thank you... we will be back soon!
