Guest Reviews

John (10/5): Tamarindo on the Beach - Hotel Perla - I Love this hotel. I have lived in Costa Rica 10 years in the Central Valley close to SJO airport for my work. My wife and I enjoy the beaches of Guanacaste so when I have a block of days off we will make the run to Tamarindo. She found Hotel Perla on the beach so we wanted try it out. It is now our go to place! Why: 1. Directly on the beach. Our room is separated by 75' of grass and lounge chairs then the sand. The ocean varies because of the tide. At high tide there is typically 20-30 surfers enjoying the waves. We swam every day. 2. Customer service checking in and hotel questions is excellent. 3. Free breakfast is a 2-minute walk to Hotel Diria. Excellent buffet. 4. Access to two pools. One at Diria on the beach and my favorite across the street (Diria Condos) with water features and an awesome swim up bar. 5. Easy safe and secure free self parking if you have a car. 6. Easy walking distance to 25+ restaurants and bars, boutique shops and a little market directly next door for things you might need for the room. Hotel Perla was recently remodeled. We prefer more of a local type hotel vs the fancier Diria next door for about double the price. (Same owner) Pura vida!
Jessica Gonzalez (10/5): - Great spot right on the beach and close to everything. Breakfast was delicious from diria hotel that's included with stay here.
Roxanne (10/5): - service
Verified traveler (10/5): Simple but clean - Simple but clean. Great location and beach front relaxation.
Holly (8/5): - Right on the beach, breakfast at Divi was amazing!
Christopher (8/5): - I would have loved to have given this place a 5-star rating, but we had some issues during our stay. Unfortunately a family of coati/raccoons found shelter above our room and made noise all night. They caught some of them, but they came back every night of our stay. And the internet was down our entire stay, they only reconnected it 10 minutes before we left. Otherwise the property location can't be beat. And access and breakfast at the Diria resort next door is a definite bonus.
sean (8/5): - Staff was extremely courteous and welcoming. The only issue we had with the room was the pillows were a little bit uncomfortable, and there was nowhere to hang your clothing No Closet. The fact that you get access to the amenities at the Tamarindo Diriá resort made all the difference. The breakfast were magnificent. All is beautiful. Lots to do around the beach.
Karine (10/5): - Really nice place, quiet with private access directly to the beach. You also have access to the pools of the hotel next door. The breakfast was really good and tables were avalable with a nice view on the beach.
Ben (10/5): - This place is great. Literally right next to the beach. True beachfront. The breakfast buffet was ridiculously good. Very pleased.
maria (10/5): - Muy tranquilo.
Luke (8/5): - The hotel was comfortable and location can’t be beat! Really enjoyed that the Diria amenities were included
Radick (2/5): - It says parking is included. When I arrived I waited for a long time for parking and eventually they told me that they don't have anything that I need to wait or just cancel. What an inconvenience.
kathryn a (10/5): - Beachfront. Great location and staff
Yoerles (10/5): - Muy bueno toda
Nisreen (10/5): - Serene, comfortable, all activities available on site for water activities to sitting in a hamkock by the pool! Amazing views
Chuck (10/5): - This place is a pearl. Naomi is an excellent host. The cleaning ladies were excellent. The grounds were excellent. Kevin at the bar was excellent. The breakfast was excellent The only issue is no coffee. It wouldn’t take make to have a coffee pot for the guests.
Gary (10/5): - Loved that you had access to the Diria hotel facility with pools/swim up bars and breakfast was fantastic with room it was excellent!
Rebecca (8/5): - Perfect little hotel for the solo traveler. Super safe and peaceful.
Craig (10/5): - A terrific location, right at the beach, and in the heart of Tamarindo. No pool onsite, but privileges to a great pool a short walk away.
Rob (10/5): - Literally right on the beach; the photos look EXACTLY like what you will get! The staff is super nice and helpful. The property is gated at the front and beach entrance, and there is even a security guard to keep the riffraff out at night. You won't get all the amenities of a hotel, but you will not find a better spot and the price is exceptional.
Maria (10/5): - We enjoyed our stay! Thank you!
Valerie (10/5): - Truly loved our stay there. Everyone was very pleasant and helpful
Carol (10/5): A Beachfront Haven - We lucked upon a vacancy in this hotel when our air B&b did work out the setting right on the beach with chairs in the private garden was perfect the two young women who staffed the desk went out of their way to be helpful the rest of the staff was friendly rooms are basic but clean hotel is near lots of restaurants unless you want delux this is a great choice go for the ocean view rooms
Francisco (8/5): - Very nice
Janet (10/5): - This property is right on the ocean and right in the middle of the strip - everything walkable. The room is basic & small but it was only a one night stop for us. If staying longer, I would look into the rooms with patio door walkout. Clean, Bathroom w/ a shower with great water pressure, TV, small fridge and toiletries. Free Parking & free breakfast was just a 5 minute walk away across the street at larger hotel owned by same owner. Breakfast was delicious & great coffee/juices - buffet but guy there to make eggs/omelets/crepes. Excellent price (for Tamarindo) for being right on the beach and free breakfast!
Jessica (10/5): Wonderful! - Everything about this stay was remarkable. Beautifully maintained grounds and facilities, wonderful staff, amazing view…would definitely stay again!
Guillaume (10/5): - Wow! La localisation est incroyable. Directement sur la plage et la vue est superbe. Donne accès aussi aux hôtels Diria a proximité. Je recommande fortement.
Darren (10/5): - Chill vibe, felt like original tamirindo. We would stay again.
Kourtney (10/5): - Adorable and Exotic Boutique Hotel Nestled in the PERFECT LOCATION. Access the beach directly from your hotel or walk a few steps to the many amenities lined up down the block. You are in the heart of the action and there’s no better feeling. I will never forget being greeted by two lovely women who worked at the Front Desk-they were so amazing! In fact, everyone was cheerful, friendly and very helpful! I recommend this place to anyone who wants to park the car and explore the beauty of Tamarindo during daytime and night..on foot. It gets super busy, and you are going to appreciate this perk! So, prime location and amazing experience. Thank you, ladies! 😊
Yasdey (10/5): - Excelente opción en Tamarindo.
Ryan (10/5): - Was very nice to stay at. Right on the beach!
Jeffton (10/5): - We Love La Perla. Center of town, right on the beach and access to the Big resort next door. Breakfast, pool, etc. The Best!
CHRISTOPHER (10/5): - The beach was amazing.
Ap (10/5): - Lovely stay! Pamela and Naomi, the two receptionists, are so sweet and always greet you with a smile— they are awesome. It is safe, clean and right on the beach. The back gate opens directly onto the beach. It’s amazing! There is a security guard at night so you can always feel safe. Great for single travellers and couples. Really loved my stay here everyone is really nice and I can’t wait to go back. Breakfast is included in your stay - it’s a delicious buffet across the street offered through their sister hotel (Diria Tamarindo). The beach is beautiful and lots of fun shops and a great beach to learn to surf.
Rupa (10/5): - Wonderful place right next to the beach. The breakfast next door at the resort was awesome. Would definitely stay here again when around the area.
Steve (8/5): - A little too close to the street. A fridge but no glasses for drinking
CIA (4/5): - Good location, friendly start, not the cleanest. The noise was unbearable specially when they started doing construction at midnight while talking between each other very loud. We stayed in room 1 and one of the beds was so hard that felt like camping. On the bright side, breakfast at Diria Hotel and the Diria pool was very good.
Morgan (10/5): - Great place! Oceanview room with the beach 10 yards away. Parking was initially an issue since you can't park easily to check in and get your parking pass.
Yuan (10/5): - Great location. Great facility. Friendly staff. Bathroom is a little small. Otherwise, everything is perfect.
Manal (10/5): - Great location and amazing service. We booked again and came back. Great breakfast.!!
Alain (6/5): - TRES BRUILLANT. 1-Nous avons eu la pire des chambres (la 1) qui est juste a coté de la reception: toute personne entrant sortant de l hotel passe devant, ce qui en fait une place tres bruillante; complexe pour coucher nos enfants en bas age... 2-Un garde veille a la securité de l etablissement la nuit. Il fait des appels telephonique dans le corridor, et nous a reveillé a plusieures reprises. 3- notre chambre donnait egalement sur la rue, une rue tres passante par des camions, voitures, motos, ... en tout temps. La chambre etait tres propre, l acces a l hotel 4 etoile de l autre coté de la route est un plus et le service pour les bagages tres accomodant, raison pour laquelle nous ajoutons une 3ieme etoile. La plage de Tamarindo a enormement changé, on se croirait au Niagara du costa rica, ou a Disney de Miami. La nature n y est plus, et a fait place aux hordes de touristes. Enfin, Tamarindo est la place la plus chere que nous avons visité au Costa rica, un soupé coute le double que la moyenne que nous avons payé a travers le pays.
Todd (10/5): - Very cool place right on the beach!
Ian (10/5): - We were pleased with the accomodation, beach access and friendly staff. For some reason they did not clean the room over the 3 days we stayed. Otherwise its a good spot.
Kristopher (10/5): - La Perla is a little rough around the edges, but more than makes up for it with the staff. The women at the front desk are very kind and understanding, and Kevin at the beach bar is a superstar.
Gianna (10/5): - Amazing stay!
Janelle (10/5): - This is a great beach front hotel for those travelers who don’t want to pay the full price for a beach resort (I.e. the Dirria next door!). But since both Perla and Dirria have the same owner, Perla guests get to eat at the breakfast buffet next door. The buffet has everything (hot items, omelette, waffles, fruit station, pastries etc. highly recommend this hotel!
ALEXANDER (8/5): - Overall is okay, but it’s very noisy.
Jacziry (10/5): - I needed a room just for one night before I left Costa Rica the next morning and the lady at the front desk was super helpful and very friendly. They have security there until midnight I’m pretty sure which is nice . It’s also right infront of the beach so the view is amazing , they have a pool as well that I didn’t get to check out because I had to leave and free breakfast at another really nice hotel less than a block down. If I came back to tamarindo I would definitely consider staying here again. The AC wasn’t that best but I’m sure they would fix that if you asked them too but since I was just there for the night I didn’t bother .
David (10/5): - Great location right on the beach. Nice clean room and very friendly staff. Good buffet breakfast at Diria 2 doors down. I would recommend.
Felipe (8/5): - muito bom e fica no meio de Tamarindo. Perfeito
Felipe (8/5): - Custo benefício muito bom e fica no meio de Tamarindo. Perfeito
tracey (10/5): - Beautiful spot right on the beach! Small and personal with excellent service. All the luxuries of a resort without having to stay at a big impersonal hotel.
Patrick (10/5): - Really liked the property and the amenities
Marlon (10/5): Excelente propiedad - Más q un hospedaje, una experiencia, encontrar un hotel frente al mar en Tamarindo es complicado y es fue excepcional me encantó
Silene (10/5): - I am so happy I found this gem! It’s right next to the super touristy Diria hotel, but offers the same ocean views. My room (#6 btw) was right in front of the ocean. The staff is super great, both Naomi and Pamela-thank you. The complementary breakfast is incredible since it’s from the Diria next door (e.g., typical Costarican food and foreign, like waffles and omelets). So if you’re looking for a quiet, laid-back, incredible ocean view stay right at the center of Tamarindo, look no further.
Andreina (8/5): - Friendly staff it was a nice place to stay next to the beach
Delmy Patricia (8/5): - Esperaba q fuera más bonito,pero de 10 le doy un 8
Roxanne (10/5): - Naomi and Pamela were indispensable and helped us out at each step.
Mark (10/5): - Amazing staff and accommodations.
