Why Tamarindo?

Tamarindo refers to our lovely town in the dry province of Guanacaste, Costa Rica. 50 years ago Tamarindo was a tiny village, where the few inhabitants mostly lived on their fishing. When the Tamarindo Diria project started around 40 years ago, an unpaved bumpy dirt road was the only way to get to Tamarindo by land. The first cabins of the Tamarindo Diria soon transformed the village that quickly grew around and with the Resort. Today you will find everything you need in Tamarindo, from entertainment & restaurants up to banks & pharmacies.

Tamarindo also stands for the tropical tree Tamarind, which was introduced in central and south America by the Spanish and Portuguese colonists during the 16^th century. The long living tree is vase shaped with ever green leaves and grows well in full sun, so it adapted perfectly to our coasts. From the fruits, which are sweet and acid at the same time you will get delicious juices, marmalade, sauces etc.

Why Diria?

The natives that were living in Guanacaste before the arrival of the Spanish colonists belonged to the Chorotega tribe. Their society was partly democratic and they had to some extend a separation of powers. Diria was the name of a Cacique (political chief) that fought against the Spanish Invasion. More information about Diria in our blog ”Cacique Diria”. Our guests will find representations and statues of Diria all over the Resort grounds. While focusing on giving the best service and meet the needs of our guests we are careful not to forget our pre-hispanic culture.

Why Beach?

Simply because we are the only Resort in Tamarindo that is located directly on the beach! In addition to that the favorable weather conditions and temperatures ensure that you will be able to swim in the pacific ocean all throughout the year. In our lush ocean front gardens, our guests may relax in one of our beach chairs while sipping a refreshing drink from the bar.

Why Golf?

During the past couple of years there has been an increasing interest and development of golf courses in Costa Rica. For now we have a driving range just 5 min from our Resort and offer advantageous rates to the two world class golf courses which are just a 25 min drive away from the Tamarindo Diria Beach & Golf Resort.

Why Resort?

The Tamarindo Diria Beach & Golf Resort is not simply a hotel. Our lush tropical garden and our pools are perfect for our guests that want to relax while hearing the waves gently break on the golden beach. Our Matapalo Restaurant and Media Luna Bar offer a unique view to the ocean and are perfectly located for those who want to enjoy the stunning sunsets of Playa Tamarindo. We also offer various daily activities with our professional trainer and our Tour Desk has a wide choice of tours and massages.

With striking natural beauty and landscape, it also has a rich culture, ancient Indigenous and Spanish history and ancient and modern landmarks. The country offers eco-tourism to its natural landmarks and national parks, for the foreign tourists. But the main attraction of Costa Rica is its beaches, scattered both across its vast coastlines. Costa Rica beach resorts are thus, a great place to tour.

Here are three great ways to find discounted Costa Rica beach resort accommodation and travel package rates.

1. Do Your Homework.

Last minute travel deals are discounts and specials which are only valid for a limited time, often only 24 hours or less, if you know where to find them you can can save a small fortune on vacations, flights and even cruises. The trick is finding the listings before they expire.

Many of the travel websites require a free membership to book the deals. So join them and remember to white list their email addresses so you get the specials into your inbox. Another great way to get the jump on special packages is to use social media. Follow or friend potential travel companies, airlines, hotels or travel agents on Twitter or Facebook to find out about special offers and available discounts as they become available. if you’re savvy smartphone user, check out some of the awesome travel applications in your device marketplace as they’re also a great source of information, which is the key to finding the best deals.

To this end, why not join us on Twitter (@Tamarindo_Diria) or friend us on Facebook (Hotel Tamarindo Diria Beach Resort) to keep up with current promotions, news and discounts on our four-star beach hotel and golf resort accommodation rates.

2. Be Flexible With Your Travel Dates.

Being flexible with your travel dates is a necessity when attempting to save money on your vacation or getaway. Travel specials are usually most prevalent during the off season or on slow periods, hotels use discount services and last minute deals to sell additional rooms and boost occupancy rates. Having flexible travel demands and dates is essential to save money when taking advantage of last minute special offers. Rather than setting specific travel dates, try to plan your vacation or getaway well in advance for a specific period or month of the year – a little flexibility goes a long way and can definitely save you some money when locating great vacation deals.

3. Be Prepared to Open Your Wallet Right Away.

Many of the last minute travel deals offered by companies providing travel services are only valid for a certain limit time period and thus require you to make a purchase right away to lock in discounted rates. So, if you’re looking for a budget trip of vacation specials and hoping to pay in a few months time, or over the course of a few months you may have a difficult time finding and securing great rates. Many folks opt for the travel credit card option, but interest rates can turn your great deal into a weighty commitment. The best way to secure your travel deal and not have debt is to put money away so that when you’re ready, you can ounce on any great last minute travel offers when they become available.

In the long run saving money on travel is not black magic, just be prepared to shop around for the best deals by setting aside a little money each month and taking time out once a week to do a half an hours scouting around. Be patient, be prepared and you will definitely be ble to save money on your next vacation.

Here at Hotel Tamarindo Diria Beach & Golf Resort we have prepared some pretty awesome summer vacation deals to help ease the burden of those other pricey travel components.

Jim Morris a verbose singer/songwriter with a style reminiscent of Jimmy Buffet will be here in Playa Tamarindo April 30-May 6, 2011. The concert series will include shows both at the amphitheater and kicked back by the pool, as well as dinner & show combo’s at the Tropical Garden Pool and Restaurante Matapalo.

Jim Morris has released one album every year since his  first recording, “Laid Back and Key Wasted,” released in 1996 by Fish Head Music. One of Jim’s more popular albums, “Bocanuts,” was released in 1997 and exposed a formula that Jim was really very proud of: “some tropical, some jazz, some country, some acoustic folk, and some humor. It certainly reflects my musical tastes,” Morris admits.

Jim is now directing his efforts to expanding his fan base and touring with the Big Bamboo Band. He will still make time to fish and will always be on the lookout for song material.

We very much look forward to having Jim and many of his traveling fans at the resort and hope that everyone will come and enjoy!
