Old hotel, basic room but great location beachside. Wish the room had more storage or hooks since no closet. Loved the access and chairs to lounge outdoors and see the ocean. Bar and outdoor shower convenient. The parking, breakfast and pool at the nearby property were great and easy to access. Would stay again.

This was my second time staying here. The ocean front rooms are way nicer and more modern than the other rooms. The owner is the same as the Diria next door, where you’ll be having your breakfast. Listen, for the price, just stay at the Diria, you’ll be spending maybe 80 bucks more and it’s got all the amenities you’ll need like pools, bars, restaurants, etc. The Perla is nice and low key, but too expensive for just offering oceanfront and free breakfast.

Very nice boutique hotel right on the beach. Quiet location located next to Tamarindo Diria. We had a drink there after dinner. Clean, very helpful staff at Perla. The pool use and breakfast at their sister resort is part of the booking. It was beautiful and the breakfast was excellent. Parking is also at the sister resort. Highly recommend Perla!

Loved the location and easy access to beach. Rooms are dated for the price. Walls and windows very thin that on weekends all people riding bikes with loud noise you could hear till late night. It got quiet at 3 am. But lived the beach side. The ocean view, and laying on beach chairs in the back.

Best location in all of Tamarindo! Just step outside your room and you’re on the beach. Or simply lay in a lounger on the grass under the palm trees and watch the people and horses pass by. The rooms are very basic. Ours had no view, widows placed so high, they only let in light. Use of the resort pool across the street, which was wonderful, is included…no hot tub tho. And the free breakfast buffet at that resort was an added bonus.

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.
