Wonderful 2nd stay at this property! Loved the bungalow near the ocean, super convenient and very large. The food onsite is great with lots of options. The hotel is conveniently located right in the middle of the St Teresa strip, you will never need your car if you are looking for options close by. Amazing stay, would definitely stay here again and again!

Best hotel in a week long hotel hopping trip
This was the second night of a seven nights hotel hopping trip in Costa Rica, February 2023. Perfect settings, clean rooms, nice friendly service, beautiful beach in front of the restaurant, above average food when compared to expensive resorts. I regret for spending one night here.

Loved this property. It was wonderful from beginning to end. We got to see the howling monkeys too! The only bad thing is the unpaved roads to get to this wonderful piece of heaven. Kayaking is 12 mins away. You must do that while staying here!

This is a beautiful property in the heart of the Tamarindo area. Right on the beach with various pool options, the beautifully landscaped resort offered the perfect hub for an activity filled Costa Rican vacation. We would love to come back. We left the Diria to spend some time in the Nicoya peninsula and we wished we had stayed at the Diria. As beautiful as the nicoya península is, Tanarindo and the Diria had more to offer. Our room was on the across the street area and really I think it’s not worth it to spend the premium to be right on the beach. We had beautiful views from our balcony. The one thing i wish our room had was a towel warmer or some way to get wet suits, towels, or other articles dry. It rained every afternoon and being wet and wearing wet stuff is part of being in the tropics. But it would just be nice to be able to get things dry. Loved the Diria.

The staff at this hotel are excellent. Any problem we had with our room was resolved within an hour and the staff were extremely responsive over Whatsapp. We stayed in the "glamping suite." Two issues we had was the hot tub continuously had problems and the hot water in the bathroom was unreliable, so I would go in to this unit with the expectation that it will not be perfect. However, the staff were always quick in fixing these issues. I would recommend this hotel.

This was a very unique, relaxing, experience with a very friendly staff! I would definitely recommend this spot for a destination getaway with lots of amenities and services to offer. Each guest has their own unique bungalow. It can get noisier towards the street/if you have guests but the staff was very helpful. Lastly, just be prepared for bugs and a jungle-vibe since you're in the middle of the woods but directly on the beach!! Such a cool experience overall

Hotel Trópico Latino is located in a beautiful spot, lots of beautiful vegetation and right on the beach. The staff are incredibly helpful and nice. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming. The food is delicious. When we were there, there was a terrific pop-up bar, the Mulberry project and we loved bartender Frederica. We had a two bedroom beachfront unit. It has a very deep, large comfortable covered porch with a large sofa, table and chairs. The room was a bit dark, and the bathroom sorely needs a remodel. Otherwise it was terrific. Well-functioning, quiet AC. The two yoga studios on site are gorgeous — facing the ocean — and the yoga I took was wonderful. I highly recommend this resort.

The property is right on the water with a beautiful beach. The restaurant staff were veey nice and helpful. The management staff were just going through the motions without follow ups or any extra efforts to make the stay more enjoyable. Property definitely needs updating. The room we stayed in, was old, had broke moldings. The bathtub is on its last leg, the shower head hit my girlfriends head and she is 5'9. Screen doors would have been very usefully so you could actually enjoy the fresh air and i could go on and on.

Had the best time at trópico! They upgraded us to the beachside villa which is great if you want to hear the sound of the waves crashing in the shore. The staff is incredibly nice and warm and the food is delicious. additionally beach yoga is available daily (great teacher) and the spa is so lovely.

Nice place, could be nicer at the price point
The hotel itself is nice, and the restaurant is good. The room was moderately clean, but not as clean as could be and the plumbing was leaky. The bed was pretty bad. The staff is friendly and helpful, but just too few of them. The area is beautiful, but the town has a serious sewage problem to the point that I didn't want to leave the property - walking up the street to find someplace to eat was almost unbearable. And when we found someplace, we sat down and I just had to leave because of the sewage smell. Overall I'll give it 4/5 because it really was beautiful and we enjoyed our stay. But it could have been better.

This is our 3rd time staying here in 3 years (this time with my dad and my wife's parents) and it never disappoints. It's the idea location between Carmen and Santa Teresa, has beautiful grounds, howler monkeys in the trees most mornings, THE friendliest staff, and amazing pool and beach views. Can't recommend this place more to anyone coming to Santa Teresa. Thanks again for the wonderful stay, we'll be back.

Very disappointing hotel. One of the most expensive hotels in our trip and really not worth the price First its not even look like the pictures. We order a superior room with beachfront view and we got small room in the second floor near the parking lot with view to the beach and to the discusting metal roof of the first floor. All the rooms have smell of mold. The kitchen is inside the toilet/bathroom. The wi-fii didn't work most of the time and we had at least 3 electrical blackout. The hotel "facilities" are so expensive it make us laugh. The stuff are not freindly or even try to be. You can replace the towels only once a day (this is the first time in my life that i hear about such thing). The only thing thay is good in this hotel is the pool (that by the way dont even remind the pool in the pictures). Basicly, its an avarage hostel with a price of 5 stars hotel. Realy not recommended.

First off Evelyn was amazing and very helpful. She truly made our honeymoon special. We stayed in the glamping tent and loved every second of it. The hotel is located perfectly between Santa Teresa and Mal Pais and there is a Mercado right across the street for easy access to essentials. We had no issues our entire stay and would definitely go back!

Way overpriced
The general hotel condition is fine, well located, but the mattress was old, stained and really hard/uncomfortable (and I like firm mattresses). There was a lot of dust under the bed, some plastic objects. The bed sheets were stained, there was hair. The shower tile grout had mold. The room has a minimal size. In my opinion, it's worth at best half the asking price. In many countries, including elsewhere in Costa Rica, you can get much better for much less. The staff tried to give us another room, a lower quality - ouch !?! can this be true? they changed the bedsheets clean but stained... they really tried there best. The staff was really polite and nice to us. One weird thing though, the toilet had a surprise for its guests. When you sit on it, huge bubbles start coming out of the drain splashing you over.
