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!

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.

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.

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.

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.
