The stay would have been perfect if it wasn’t for the inconvenience caused. There was construction work being done on the property with workers starting at 7:30 am throughout the day. Workers were banging, drilling and hammering loudly. The work was directly outside the balcony with workers walking, looking in and talking to one another. There was no privacy and no relaxation. Highly disappointed as this was supposed to be a recharging weekend for me and my family.

A little slice of Heaven
We love Costa Rica but this experience was top notch - the host emailed all of the check in instructions days prior to arrival which I really appreciated. Upon arrival I was confused and emailed them (on a Sunday) and was surprised by the extremely prompt reply. I realized hten that I had misread the instructions but that set the tone for a high touch experience. From arrival to departure we felt the high level of service and it really made our vacation. We can't wait to book again! This unit comes complete with an animal show lol. The howler monkeys were right outside our balcony every morning and it was a real treat. Thank you for everything!

Very nice, spacious condo in an excellent location.
Property is set back from the noise and activity on the beach but just a quick walk to it. Nice pool and patio near the condo and wonderful beachfront lawn and restaurant, ideal for watching the sunset.Denisse was very responsive and helpful. We also scheduled the day trip to Arenal Volcano and the hanging bridges and hot springs and that was great as well.

Great stay at Diria. The balaciny provides awesome views of the ocean, the sunset and the main pool which is lit beautifully at night. The monkeys were in the trees right next to our balcony which were fun to watch as well. The condo had everything we needed for the 5 of us. Nice to have 3 bathrooms. Great stay!

Great stay
The property was perfect for our family of four (two teenagers) as everyone had their own room. The location was excellent within walking distance to everything (rarely needed car). We had a couple of minor incidents requiring management who were accessible, fast acting, and delivered on promises. Overall I would say the stay exceeded expectations. Some negative reviews on this property caused some concern but after staying here I would stay again with no problem. The only negative is the stairs. The condo sits above the street plus stairs. We are in average shape and it was taxing after a few days. If you are overweight, older, or have some disability this may be of concern. Otherwise, this unit is great. Monkeys right off the balcony almost every day!

Amazing location & fantastic trip
It was our 1st trip to Costa Rica and a trip that was being planned for a few years. The entire experience was amazing. The condominium exceeded our expectations, the pictures and layout clearly matched the description, the house was cleaned and meticulous on our arrival. The beach chairs and towels allowed us to pack much leaner for the trip. We couldn't have had a better time and blue zone was a critical part of great experience.

Ideal resort location in Tamarindo
Fantastic unit in an even greater location. The rooms were just as advertised and exactly what our party of 6 (3 couples) needed. The resort amenities alone that came with our stay made this rental a 10/10 - the Diria Resort is incredible. The best part though was that we were walking distance to literally every restaurant, bar, beach access, etc. that we wanted to go to. Couldn't have asked for a better stay in Tamarindo.

Avoid this property at all costs!
Just about everything that can go wrong with a rental, went wrong. We have rented dozens of places through VRBO and this is the worst experience we ever had and the only one where we requested a credit.
The HVAC never worked. Imagine, no AC in 90 degree weather. The property management company sent a technician out three separate times, and each time the AC would be fixed for a few hours and would shut off again.
We finally had enough and left the property early, and even spent another day during our stay at another property.
The management company claimed that we were adjusting up the thermostat and did not issue a credit. Imagine that! We are filing a legal claim against all parties.
On top of no AC, the condo’s furniture looks like it came from our old dorm room. The kitchen is old, and the entire place is musty and damp.
Unless you want the worst experience of your life, stay away from this unit…and stay away from any property managed by Bluezone Experience.
0 out of 10 stars!

No Elevator.. 3rd Floor Unit !!
Did I mention there was not an elevator ?!?! .. after dragging our bags up a muddy and rocky driveway up hill and unit is located on the 3rd floor with no elevator .. ugh … Each of us women carry our 50 pounds bags up three flights of stairs was not a great welcome . Unit is dark and need of updating . Couch is way past it’s life and bathroom fixtures are moldy and old . The location is close to beach and common property is beautiful.. pool with swim up bar is wonderful. Close to food market and downtown stores , clubs and restaurants. There are cleaner newer unit with elevator in same property that I would highly recommend renting one of them . .. This unit was sadly disappointing and the 3 flights of stairs to them have to take another 3 flights down to get to the pool was inconvenient and not recommended.

Diria Condominium
The location and view were great. The unit could use some more lighting or bulbs replaced, it was a little dark. It was nice to have 3 bathrooms. Check in was a little tough, only because the security guard was not at their post when we arrived. That was the only time we did not see someone there. Someone who worked at the resort let us in. The road and driveway to the unit was dirt and rocks. We were constantly washing our fee, because it was so dusty. Rolling suitcases along the dirt driveway was not fun.
The building is older and does not have an elevator. It is tough to get suitcases up and down.
The upstairs loft if really nice, however in the pictures you can see it has a spiral staircase. It is very narrow and again, very hard to get a 50lb suitcase up or down. I'm 5'8 and the ceiling going on to the landing is low and I hit my head. The loft also has plexiglass, so there really isn't very much privacy for the individuals staying up there. You can see them lying in bed from downstairs. Even at night you can see the reflection in the sliding glass doors of the upstairs loft. It would be fine for young kids or people who don't sleep in or need privacy. The loft did have a separate AC unit, which was nice.
The WiFi name and password should be posted in the unit. I had to email the manager to get it and at first was given the wrong password, but eventually got it straightened out. The hotel will give you the resort Wifi info if you ask.
While we were there, there was leak in the washing machine and the management promptly replaced it. Beach chairs were provided and an ice chest. However the there are many flights of stairs you need to go down to, to get to the pool (I counted 10).
I read that the unit did not have a dishwasher in the past, and it has one now, but you can't lower the door all the way down, because the refrigerator blocks it.
The pool area was nice. But they did not have enough lounge chairs for the amount of people. Lots of people come up from the Diria resort to use the big pool . We had red wrist bands and they had white. By the way if you get sunscreen on your wrist band it breaks down the color and will stain your clothes. Anway, the white banded people could use the pools in our area, but we could not use the pool at the resort, or the lounge chairs at the resort. The adult pool near the condo is kind of hidden thankfully and has a swim up bar and more chairs available.

Nice location.
The property is in a perfect location. And having access to the pool was a really nice touch. They had a swim up bar that was really nice and my boys absolutely loved the chicken fingers they had there.
Check in was super easy. I did get a little turned around but have them send you the GPS location and then you won’t have any issues.
The balcony is really nice and the sunset view is fantastic.
We had our son stay upstairs and he loved it. The dishwasher was a nice touch. So was the washer and dryer.
And parking was key. No issues as the property is gated.
