Top Tamarindo Hotel Reviews

Hotel Tamarindo Diria Beach Resort

Hotel Tamarindo Diria Beach Resort

8/10 Good
"Excellent staff from front desk to rentals to cleaning staff, super clean facility. Even with all the wind causing leaves and such to fall in the pool, the staff was constantly cleaning. Breakfast was decent - quality of the cheeses and cold cuts was poor, in my opinion. However, there were many other options to choose from. We had a room with a view of the ocean, I think it's the Sunset room, and it was lovely. However, the bathrooms and rooms need a little bit of an upgrade, especially the bathroom. I'd definitely go to Tamarindo Diria again. Bonus! The extra pool across the street was soooo nice! Felt like a luxurious Vegas pool (complete with swim up bar)."
