Guest Reviews
- Nicole (10/5): Estancia frente al mar muy relajante - La ubicación , la seguridad, la amabilidad del personal, la atmósfera relajante y la vista al mar El baño requería mantenimiento se veía algo antiguo
- Claudia Beatriz (4/5): -
- Charles (10/5): We have stayed in Tamarindo for many years. For an affordable, clean, safe and delightful hotel right on the beach you - The staff is fantastic and the location is outstanding Nothing
- Anthony Parajeles Mora (10/5): - El trato del personal fue excelente! Nada
- Rigoberto (10/5): Céntrico , seguro , caminando llegas a todos los restaurantes . - Su localización . El desayuno muy bien. El personal excelente .
- Ivelina (9/5): -
- Arnold (10/5): - Location room staff 0
- Elizabeth (10/5): Hidden gem right on the beach with 5 star access - The breakfast was delicious with many offerings each day. No need to repeat meals. The custom egg or omelette station was a nice to have options there too. At least two juices and hot coffee were available each day too. Having more hooks or a space to use hangers and hang clothing would have been very appreciated in addition to having a stool or bench to keep luggage off of the floor.
- Monica Selene (1/5): Cama incómoda - La ubicación perfecta La cama era muy incómoda.
- Elizabeth (10/5): -
- Krauer (7/5): Das Hotel liegt direkt am Strand mit direktem Strandzugang - Die Lage ist sehr gut, kleines Hotel direkt am Strand. Das Frühstück war sehr lecker, aber in einem anderen Hotel. Die Zimmereinrichtung ist mangelhaft, kein Schrank, nicht einmal eine Ablage für irgendetwas. Das einzige neben dem Bett war ein Stuhl. Das Zimmer mit Aussicht war der Blick auf die laute Strasse.
- Emil (9/5): Superbt läge precis vid stranden. Fin gräsyta med palmer, lediga solstolar och bar (med bra mat). - Mycket bra frukostbuffé på det större grannhotellet (samma ägare). Det saknades bra klädförvaring (garderob, galgar) på rummen.
- Rigoberto (8/5): Tranquilo - La locación Poco espacio en los cuartos
- Salvatti (8/5): -
- Jana (10/5): - Top Lage, vom Zimmer auf die Liegewiese und direkt an den Strand, gutes Frühstück im Nachbarhotel, sehr freundliches Personal Gibt nichts auszusetzen
- John (7/5): Overall, very good, except that room was too dark and simple. - Breakfast was wonderful Room was dark and somewhat spartan. No furniture, no storage space, not enough windows.
- Angelika (10/5): Empfehlenswert - Das Hotel besticht durch die Lage am Strand. Der Garten mit seinen großen Palmen ist zum Strand hin gelegen. Das Frühstück im schräg gegenüber gelegenen Schwesternhotel lässt kein Wünsche offen. Es gibt eine große Auswahl an warmen Gerichten, Eier in allen Variationen, Süßes und Obst. Nettes Personal, gutes WLan, leistungsstarke Klimaanlage. Die Größe der Zimmer und die Ausstattung der Bäder variieren stark. Es gibt Zimmer zur Straße; die sind wirklich laut. Auf ein Zimmer zum Garten achten! Wir haben uns trotzdem wohlgefühlt.
- Didier (10/5): Sejour parfait a la Perla de la Playa ! - L’emplacement en bord de mer, la grande chambre en rez de jardin vue mer et lit King size, la propreté, le petit déjeuner copieux dans le complexe hôtelier Diria situé à 3mn à pieds Rien
- Christa (8/5): -
- Perri (10/5): - The staff is very friendly and helpful. Location is excellent. I would only suggest some hooks for hanging wet bathing suits and towels and perhaps.
- Tatiana (10/5): L’hôtel est génial ! - L’hôtel est super bien située. La plage est très sympa. On peut bénéficier de la piscine de l’hôtel Diria-la piscine est immense et superbe. Le petit déjeuner est exceptionnel. Le personnel, Pamela, est très accueillante. C’est un vrai plaisir de séjourner à cet hôtel. Chambre est spacieuse, l’hôtel donne les serviettes de plages, très pratique. La vie est splendide. Tour à été parfait.
- Alison (7/5): Nice location, quaint but over priced - Hotel location was good. Breakfast at the sister property was very good. The grassy garden area was nice by the beach. Did not like the stairs going up to second floor. They were not spaced properly and felt dangerous. Did not like the weird bathroom. Sink was so small, and there was always a bad smell in it. The air conditioning was loud. We paid a high price per night and it was rated at a 8.7 so we did expect better.
- Amanda (10/5): - The staff was so kind and helpful. Being right on the beach- do I need to say more? Also, having the amenities from the neighboring resort made being there with a kiddo even easier. Nothing. Loved it all.
- Christine (7/5): Nettes Hotel in guter Lage - Sehr zentral und direkt am Strand gelegen, tolle Strandbar mit nettem Personal Das Zimmer war etwas unkomfortabel, das Personal an der Rezeption wirkte manchmal etwas unmotiviert. Zum Frühstück musste man etwa 350 Meter in ein anderes Hotel gehen.
- Verónica (10/5): - Comodidad Na
- Abie-Mika (8/5): Great location but better food options required - Right by the beach and still in town! Friendly staff, beautiful terrace, rare birds and other animals sighted. And a very lovely stray cat who came to visit us every night! Unfortunately no pool, no drinks or food on site, so you always had to get that elsewhere - even the breakfast :(
- alan alexis (10/5): - Todo Nada, estuvo 👏👏👏buenísimo. Pregunta estudes a nombre de quien facturan?
- Heiner (10/5): - La ubicación, las instalaciones y la atención. Desayunos poco variados
- Ronald E. (10/5): Bendición 🙏 - La cercanía de la playa y la oferta de desayuno! Todo muy bien! Y el personal genial!
- Jürgen (10/5): - Topp-Lage Kleines ruhiges Hotel direkt am Strand Freundliches Personal Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt
- alan alexis (10/5): - Todo Nada
- Gowri (9/5): Excellent - Amazing breakfast
- laurance (10/5): Séjour idyllique - TOUT!!! Remerciements à Pamela qui nous a surclassées et bichonnées tout au long de notre séjour : chambre immense et superbement équipée, balcon avec vue sur mer, transats et accès direct à la plage, petit déjeuner royal Rien
- Pablo (10/5): - Muy lindo todo
- Stephanie (10/5): - Location. Size Absolutely nothing.
- Carl (9/5): - Everything
- Roshni (9/5): Beautiful stay! - The location of this property was absolutely wonderful, a small boutique hotel located on the beach. You can roll out of bed and go straight for a walk. The tie up with larger hotel diria was great to be able to have an included wonderful breakfast. We stayed in the king size sea view room. We sadly had an issue with noise due to animals in the roof (just something that can happen in Costa Rica) but the staff promptly acted on this and switched our room and offered refund for one night. They were helpful and thoughtful. I would very much recommend this place! Nil
- Angela (9/5): Great value next to the beach. - Breakfast was great, location to the beach amazing, everything you need in an unusually small hotel. The staff was helpful and friendly. Appreciated the beach access and walkability. Has access to sister property pools which are nice. (Hotel Diria) Mattresses could have been a little better quality. Street noise was high but that isn't unique to this hotel. If you like to hang out in the room a significant amount of time and drink a lot of coffee maybe not the right hotel for you as it's basic. Coffee is next door at the sister hotel.
- Leanna (10/5): Perfect location on the beach. Would definitely book again! - Great location on the beach and walking to some amazing restaurants. The staff was wonderful and we were able to use the incredible pool and have breakfast at the neighboring hotel at half the price. Parking was a little tricky but the staff were helpful and the location was secure when we finally found it.
- General (9/5): Comfortable bed and good breakfast. - We had a great stay here! The king bed was very comfortable, and the hotel was steps from the beach. Breakfast was a short walk away, with a huge variety. Easy to walk to a ton of restaurants. Good wifi and AC. No laundry service. There was a wild animal fight on the roof over our room that got loud and woke us up. lol
- James (9/5): Perfect spot to explore Tamarindo - Beach, pool, access to city
- Jeffrey (10/5): Most amazing hotel we have ever stayed at in our lives - Most beautiful hotel in Tamarindo. The staff knew it was my fiancé birthday during our stay and they surprised her (us) with a beautiful cake!! My fiancée was blown away! It really set the trip off in the best way possible Everything is perfect. The staff is the friendliest we have ever experienced. Have already referred Perla to others who have already booked stays! Can’t say enough of this Pearl of the Beach!
- Matt (10/5): A great place to stay - Great location and staff. Thin walls - noisy at night due to its location on Main Street.
- Heather (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jeffrey (9/5): Superb -
- Juliana (10/5): Exceptional -
- Yan (7/5): If you’re looking for a peaceful and relaxing vacation, make dure you will not be assigned to a room on the road side! - Great location right on the beach, fabulous buffet breakfast, nice pools, friendly and helpful staff! Our unit #1 is on the first floor near the entrance and reception desk, which was lack of privacy. The early morning bus/truck traffic from the road right outside our windows was very noisy that shook us up every morning around 6am. In addition, although the unit has windows but none of them can be opened. We had expected a peaceful and relaxing vacation, but in reality, we were exhausted and disappointed!
- Derren (8/5): Very good -
- Mary (10/5): Exceptional - The hotel did not have a pool.. but the access to the beach is great. Great views. The room was huge with an added bedroom in the side. The staff great. There's a little seaside bar on the property.. the location is right downtown. No pool.
- Stefan (8/5): Very good - Super friendly staff and Security, if you want to see the best sunset - this is the Place to stay
- Anonymous (10/5): Exceptional -
- Guisella (10/5): Great gateway for the weekend - Great place in the beach, the staff were so friendly and welcoming and they gave us an upgraded room, we were celebrating our wedding anniversary. The animal shaped towel decorated with flowers was a nice touch and surprise to us. The breakfast was super tasty and lots of options for you to pick because it was buffet style. I would love to come back. Parking was about 100 mts same it was the breakfast they were located at their sister property.
- Vikram (10/5): Exceptional -
- Karen (10/5): Staff was incredibly kind, rooms clean and comfortable, access to pool at nearby hotel made it even better. - Amazing location, had access to pool and parking a bigger hotel while still having bar and beach access right out our door.
- Lawrence (9/5): Superb -
- Jay (9/5): Naomi and Victor were very friendly - Breakfast was really good
- Nathan (8/5): Very good -
- Miroslav (9/5): Superb - Direct access to the beach, parking place available
- Vladislav (10/5): Exceptional -
- Michael (10/5): Definitely a Pearl on the beach. - Small boutique hotel. Beautiful oceanfront room. Comfortable bed. Great location, nice tiki bar with Kevin at the bar. Many great restaurants close by.
- Charles (8/5): Quaint clean comfortable stay on the beach. - The location, right on the beach was excellent. The rooms were clean and comfortable. There was some road noise beginning early in the morning. The stairs to the second story were a little uneven, making climbing and descending a bit precarious.
- Tracey (9/5): Superb -
- Daryl (10/5): Exceptional -
- Selin (10/5): Exceptional -
- Pierre (10/5): Destination Wedding Solo - I get access to the big pool and breakfast at the bigger partner hotel, Daria! It's owned by the same owner. I paid less than half, then what friends paid at Daria. Add the breakfast it's totally worth it! N/A
- Victor (10/5): Exceptional -
- Baksh (1/5): I wouldn’t sleep there again - Nice bartender and friendly staff, everything else was horrible The worst bed I have ever slept in. The standard room was a closet, Room #4 is absolutely horrible
- Faried (5/5): Passable -
- Umamaheswaran (9/5): Superb -
- Jordan (8/5): Great location. - Cool little apart-hotel that's right on the beach. Perfect location. Also, great breakfast which takes place across the road. N-a.
- Erik (10/5): Exceptional -
- Doris (9/5): Great location, comfy and quiet. - Great location, quiet at night, right on the beach. Giant comfy bed and great A/C. Staff were so friendly and offered late checkout without us even asking. Breakfast across the road at the bigger hotel was delicious. No hairdryer in the room, and slightly pricy in my opinion.
- Jorge (9/5): Superb -
- Susan (10/5): Beat place to stay on the beach in Tamarindo!! - From the moment I walked in I felt welcomed. The staff went far beyond to make sure we were comfortable and all of our requests were greeted with warmth and enthusiasm! The room had a gorgeous view and let’s talk about the breakfast ! I wish there was a higher score than 10! A most beautiful experience!! Alex and Naomi were an absolute delight! There’s nothing to dislike … honestly- best location on the beach, access to everything.. easy walking distance to food, shopping and entertainment .
- Sage (8/5): Amazing intimate cozy hotel on the beach. - amazing location, very private, nice slow vibe but yet we can enjoy the amazing breakfast of the large hotel next door. Right on the beach. Wow. A simple accomodation but I'm very happy. -hair conditioner -coffee, tea, water ? Mind you theres isn't much space for it..
- Leanna (2/5): Very poor - Cold shower , noise , no pool access , AC didn’t not cool the room
- Danny (9/5): Superb -
