Hotel Diriá Santa Cruz

My family of 5 reserved 2 rooms at Hotel Diria for the evening of 12/29/23 as a stop between Nosara and the Liberia airport. Unfortunately the weather was poor that day which prevented us from exploring as we intended. We decided to go to the airport to try to change flights. Even though we had just checked in and paid via a credit card, the manager, upon hearing our situation, immediately refunded our money without any further questions. She did it with a smile and set us on our way. It’s nice to see customer service is still alive and well. Very well done, Hotel Diria.

Extremely kind staff and reception! Even with a slight language barrier, we were able to get good information and receive help from staff. The rooms were nice and the AC was blowing strong. We enjoyed our stay there!

Honestly am super impressed with it here..staff are helpful. Room bright and airy..comfy bed and fluffy covers .2 big pools .parking and right in the middle of everything ..shops..bars etc.cant go wrong for the price .will definitely come here again

Don't confuse this Hotel Daria in Santa Cruz with the Hotel Daria in Tamarindo. Santa Crus in not a beach town, and this hotel is on its last legs. It was clean but very basic. Beds no more than functional. We has to ask for towels, there were none in the room. They said the restaurant was open until noon but when we went for breakfast at 10 they said they just closed. Two small bars of soap and not other toiletries, no real problem but priced as a 3 star. Grounds are not maintained. Obviously once was a nice hotel, but now just a place to sleep. The area is good in that you are less than an hour from many beaches. Costa Rica is wonderful, but this hotel is just a place to hang your hat for a night. The staff are very friendly and helpful and they made the stay ok. the pools are nice and well maintained. One is designed for children. 1/2 meter deep throughout and so great for young children. If you need a place for a night, this might work for you.
