  My thanks to you and Lourdes for making our stay at the Diria Penthouse a memorable one! The property itself is beautiful and we enjoyed watching the sunsets from the balconies. The location--perfect--we could walk to everything. We always felt very private and the space is great. Thanks again for everything! We will be back!

  Just spent 2 weeks in this condo with 2 other couples. For the most part we loved it, however, things to note are as follows: you have to cross the street to order to be ocean front; you are not allowed to bring your own drinks or snacks while around the pool areas and the ocean front lounge chairs (kind of defeats the purpose of renting a condo); continuous sewer smell in the condo. Mateo and Andrew (the guys that manage the property) were awesome - responded to all of our concerns right away, however, the sewer smell was never resolved. The condo location is fabulous - walking distance to everything and Tamarindo is an awesome town - lots of great restaurants.

  This was our first trip to Costa Rica and we nailed it on the head for an unsurpassed vacation spot and the best lodging. You don’t need to plan on doing anything else but relax and enjoy the Diria Experience—the fabulous, never ending beach and giant surf, pools, dining, and accommodations—everything within walking distance. Thank you to the Blue Water Property Staff for making such a dream trip come true.

  WOW!! We knew it was going to be nice from the pictures but we had no idea just how wonderful the place would be until we walked in. We fell in love with the Penthouse in Tamarindo!!! What an AMAZING time we had and the condo was so much more than what we had ever expected. The place was so beautiful and so well taken care of. It was also great to be able to use all of the amenities of the Diria hotel. The pools and beaches were great. We did not have a car and we didn't need one. We were close to everything in tamarindo and could walk everywhere. Also a shout out to the guys at Blue Water as well. They were so nice and helpful when we picked up the keys. They knew we were coming and were all ready for us when we walked in the door. I have already told everyone I know how amazing you all were. We are already thinking about our next trip back to Costa Rica. We could not have picked a nicer place to have stayed. Thank you again for all of your help while we were getting ready for our trip. You all made it so easy.

  This penthouse has plenty of living space and balconies with amazing views. We used Blue Waters suggestions for excursions and even had a great chef come in 2 different nights to cook us dinner, this was a nice treat. We rented a car to get to different surf areas but you don't need one if you are staying in town, everything is within walking distance. Cleaning service came everyday for light cleaning and changed beds at least once during the week. We took advantage of the excursions and went horseback riding, ATV in the jungle and beach, Sunset cruise aboard the Hibiscus with snorkeling and dinner included, Boat cruise through jungle with Crocs and white-faced monkeys. Booking again for next year.

  Our stay at the penthouse at the Diria Hotel was great. The accomodation were excellent. The hotel it is attached to was good, the shared homeowner's pool has a swim up bar cabana that was not open for the time we visited in June, but you could call from the bar and they would bring whatever. The house was clean and beautiful. ran into a water issue on our first night...a bit inconvenient, they said it was the whole complex. They got the water on the next day for showers ext. and were helpful and apoligetic....we went out that night. The homeowner below us visited us one night as we played pool to ask us to stop banging our pool sticks on the carpet, he was nice, mentioned he has had a problem with noise before, we complied and we didn't see him again, he was nice just wanted some quiet on his vacation. I think the pool table is right over his room. I would recommend the penthouse and recommend Blue Water Properties. Thumbs Up!!

  Owner response: Hi Janet: Thanks for your review. As you can imagine, things sometime happen which are completely out of the control of the property manager. The issue with water was repaired within 24 hours and we also refunded you your first night due to the inconvenience you encountered. Other than your first night, I am glad you were able to enjoy the vast majority of your vacation and we hope to have you back soon. Best wishes, the Staff of Blue Water Properties

  Diria #601 far exceeded our expectations. It is truly a great place to stay during your Tamarindo vacation. We came here as a group of 10 friends (the large couch was plenty comfortable and large enough to sleep two people if necessary) and we had a great time. The condo is beautiful, luxurious and well-maintained, with gorgeous views of the ocean and the town from every window. The pictures almost don't do the condo justice, it is that nice. A very short walk to the beach, town, and the Hotel Diria main resort, we spent much of our days out and about, but very close to the condo. Becky and her staff are very professional and helpful in making your stay in Tamarindo fantastic. All in all, highly recommended, and we will definitely be back!

  Recommended for: Tourists without a car.

  Owner response: Nick, thanks so much for the kind note. I am always happy to hear when our guests have a great time at Diria 601. We hope you will come back to Tamarindo soon. Best wishes, Becky and the staff at Blue Water Properties

  There were 7 of us that stayed in this condo. It is in the heart of Tamarindo, only a block away from the beach. The grounds and condo are secure and safe with a guard at the gate at all times. The penthouse itself is roomy and clean. There are windows and balconies showing the great views of the ocean and sunsets. We always gathered on the large balcony with dining table every morning with views of the ocean for tea/coffee/breakfast before a day at the beach. The kitchen is a little small for how large the place is, but it had everything we needed. Could maybe have used some more wine glasses. The 4 bedrooms are very different and not equal to each other, although they are all very nice....2 are master suites which are clearly the ones you'd want to stay in....they are huge, have private balconies, and have great views. The 3rd bedroom is smaller with a queen bed and has great views but no balcony, and then the 4th bedroom was small with a double bed and a small balcony with an okay view. Each room had it's own private bathroom. It took a few days to figure out that the air conditioning for the small room was controlled through the thermostat in one of the master rooms. The common area is huge and great for gathering and entertaining, in fact we had a chef come in to cook 11 of us dinner one night. I would recommend that. It was only $30pp and included appetizers, salad, fish, steak, and dessert. They did it all including the clean-up. Housekeeping came daily to sweep, but we mainly washed our own towels. We got great use out of the washer and dryer and dishwasher. The only thing that I would say this place was missing was a stereo system.....I was surprised there wasn't one. There was a radio with some cheap speakers, but no way to hook up an ipod to them. It was a little out of place in a fancy penthouse suite. Definitely needs a stereo system. The pool area is huge, uncrowded, and even had monkeys in the trees! The photos are exactly how it looked. The property manager, Becky, was great to work with. The condo is in a great location! Only a block away from Nibbana, the best place for 2 for 1 happy hour drinks from 5-7pm. It's a fabulous beachfront restaurant too! Seasons restaurant is THE BEST though. If you want great pizza, head to La Boula. Everything is a 5 minute walk away. I highly recommend buying booze right when you land at the airport at their duty free shop. CHEAP!

  Owner response: Hi Andrea: We are glad to hear you enjoyed your stay at the Diria penthouse. It's a great property and location for sure. We hope to have you back soon in Sunny Costa Rica! All the best, Becky & the BWP Staff

  We stayed for 5 nights with 2 families and 5 young children ages 4-11. The location was excellent in Tamarindo! It was great having the washing machine and the full kitchen. The kids could watch t.v. or play pool and we had very easy beach and pool access. This place is walking distance from everywhere you will need to go in Tamarindo. Becky and her staff were wonderful with assisting us with any trip and travel plans. We would highly recommend.
