Fantastic location and value!
Pros:

Fantastic location. Right on the beach, yet private and quiet. Appeared to be recently remodeled. Plus you can use their sister properties facilities (the Dira) and free breakfast everyday. A great value.

Cons:

Nothing! Fyi no pool at the hotel but u can use the nice ones at the hotel Dira a few spots over.

Nice stay !
Pros:

Above all, the location (beach front) ! The use of some facilities of the "neighbor" Diria Beach Resort is also a very good reason to stay in this small but nice hotel.

Cons:

The shower box has a plastic curtain instead of a glass one, which makes a little water mess on the bathroom.

A fantastic beachfront stay with a great location, friendly staff, delicious breakfast, and excellent service that made
Pros:

The location is fantastic—right on the beach and within easy walking distance of restaurants, shops, and everything you need once you arrive. Convenient on-site parking makes it even easier.

Breakfast was delicious and served in a peaceful, relaxing setting. The staff were warm, friendly, and very helpful throughout our stay.

We arrived before our room was ready, and the team kindly allowed us to change and securely store our belongings so we could enjoy the beach, go surfing, and have a swim while we waited.

Overall, we had a wonderful stay and will definitely be returning soon.

Cons:

The hotel is right on the beach, which is a huge plus, but it's also located on the main road. If you're assigned a room facing the road, you may notice traffic noise, as is the case with many hotels along this street.

If possible, request a sea-facing room—we did, and it was quiet with no issues. Otherwise, bringing earplugs is a good idea, as other guests have suggested.

Despite this, I would still happily stay here again because the excellent beachfront location and overall convenience far outweigh the potential noise.

Pros:

Proximité de la plage. La petite chambre pour les enfants avec le lit à deux étages. La vue sur la plage. Le jardin au bord de la plage. La gentillesse du personnel. La situation à Tamarindo. Et la possibilité de déjeuner dans l'excellent restaurant du Diria Hotel juste à côté. Un excellent hôtel et rapport qualité prix dans la région.

Cons:

On n'est pas resté assez longtemps ;)

Beautiful spot on the beach
Pros:

Beautiful beach front hotel, We were lucky enough to be there on the off season so we had the place to ourselves. It was absolutely perfect. Kind employees who were available when you needed them and not in your space when you didn't.

Cons:

Figuring out where to park was stressful since we arrived after 5pm and the desk clerk was not there. The directions we were sent were not correct which added to the stress. Once we were there and in the room all was well.

Tolle Lage und eine schöne kleine Anlage
Pros:

Das Hotel La Perla liegt direkt am Strand in einem kleinen Garten, der jeden Morgen liebevoll gepflegt wird. Dort befindet sich eine Dusche und eine Möglichkeit das Surfboard abzustellen, wenn man aus dem Wasser kommt. Liegen stehen auf der Wiese mit direktem Blick zum Meer und dem unglaublichen Sonnenuntergang
Das Frühstück im Diria Hotel nebenan ist unglaublich gut .
Wir hatten das Familienzimmer mit einer kleinen Terasse zum Garten, andere Zimmer könnten kleiner sein.
Das Personal war super freundlich und hilfsbereit !!!!

Cons:

Es müssten mehr Sonnenschirme an den Liegen aufgestellt werden
