Steps To The Beach in the Heart of Tamarindo

We were contacted pretty early by the concierge in case we needed help with bookings etc. (we did with a diving booking). They're also very responsive if there are issues (our safe needed to be reset). Whatsapp is the way to go for quick responses. The property itself is quite amazing, part of a complex with a pool, just a minute from the beach, and a couple of supermarkets around the corner as well, plus some great lunch/ dinner options. If coming by car, there's a designated parking spot as well. It's all very safe. Highly recommend!

This is a lovely condo in a complex with a nice large swimming pool. It is on the first floor. The kitchen was complete and there was a full-size washer and dryer. The place was not loud although you do see some foot traffic walking past your kitchen window from the condo.There is a king bed in one room, a queen bed in another room, and two single beds in the third room. The single beds are quite high off the ground which is not a problem for us with teenagers but may not be ideal for very young children. There were a few small markets near the condo where we picked up items to cook. Larger grocery stores were a little less than a mile walk.To get to the beach you walk across the street and take a right about 100 yards or more where you can find an entrance right onto the beach. You can go the other direction and walk through the hotel Diria lobby and go to the beach. The beach was amazing with a little more than a mile of beach to walk. There are numerous restaurants and shops when you go to the street and take a left. Hotel Diria, a well-known hotel is about a short walk in that same direction. You then get to the main commercial/tourist area.The only problem we had with the unit was a leak of water from the air-conditioning. Someone did come promptly to repair it but the air condition continued to leak water and unfortunately due to the language barrier I was not clear if the repair person thought the AC was fixed.Highly recommend this condo.

Great location if you want to stay close to the beach and also have walking access to restaurants on the beach, but don't want to spend to be directly on the beach. The surf shops were an easy walk. The unit was closest to a public beach that was really busy when we arrived on Saturday. It was less busy on the days that followed and it had waves for the kids to boogie board. The water temp was also great.The unit is on the first floor of the building so it was easy for the kids to go back and forth to the pool. Tour shuttles easily picked us up there, since we did not have a car. It was also close to the main street shopping area of Tamarindo. Bonnie, the host, was very responsive to questions and concerns.

Location is great-we have stayed at various units in Tamarindo Sunrise over the past 9 years. Some units are really nice and others are average, appearing as if the owners reinvest little into the unit. This unit is the latter of those two options. The safe could not be used however the owner and manager were willing to have their staff access our room for a few hours to fix. After one of the workers was there for over an hour with little progress, we decided to forego having them attempt to replace the safe-not ideal but neither is having strangers in your room leaving the front door wide open while you are at the beach. One of the burners of the stove didn’t work and the dishwasher repeatedly overflowed suds onto the floor. We don’t expect perfection, but if you are aware as the owner, of certain issues they should be fixed. It also appears that there might be a termite issue around several of the door frames as something is either eating them away or they are rotting. Walls are very dirty and in severe need of painting. This unit could be really nice, but on our next trip, we will be certain to book a different unit or stay at the Diria Condos altogether. On a positive note, the outdoor grill was great and worked perfectly. Overall I give this place a C-.
