"When we arrived there was a hiccup at airport / rental car. I was very concerned but called Thisbee. She calmed me, explained options, and was a trusted colleague. The owners went well above their “jobs” to assure our stay was perfect, and it was. "
"The manager was very helpful with checking in and out, just a call away for anything we needed. We enjoyed the very spacious kitchen, the view, the peace and the birds coming every morning to the varanda. We tried to walk to the beach but it is far, we opted for calling a taxi... renting a car would be the easier thing do. "

"Accueil très sympathique. Le personnel est très agréable, souriant, disponible, très arrangeant. On nous a même changé notre roue qui avait crevé.
Chambre spacieuse, fonctionnelle. Petit déjeuner copieux et complet. Piscine très appréciée en fin de journée.
Très belle plage et bon restaurant à proximité.
Tout était parfait et nous y retournerons volontiers."
"Showed up & the head lady kept saying we only paid for 1 person when we had confirmation for 2. Tried to more money out of us when we already paid for the room. The pictures online was why we got the place. FALSE ADVERTISEMENT!! They had 2 queen bed pushed together with sheets that had stains all on them. No blankets, no AC. We had to ask to have the AC unit to be turned on & they said we had to pay more if we wanted AC!!!! Knowing it’s beyond hot at 8 pm. Room didn’t look like it had been used...

"Absolutely! Here's a more engaging version of your review:
Our vacation at Diria in Costa Rica has been an absolute delight for my daughter and me. The convenience of the hotel’s shuttle service to and from the airport made our travels so much easier and stress-free. We loved starting our mornings with the delicious homemade local breakfast—such a treat! The staff were genuinely warm and always had a smile on their faces. The property itself is breathtaking, and we loved how everything in town was just a short walk away. This trip has truly been unforgettable!"
