"We absolutely fell in love with the Pipe House charm and the warm and friendly owner! Great vibes, beautiful location just steps from the beach, unique lodgings and fun common areas to hang out. We can’t say enough about this gem of a place. We ate dinner down the way at the Swells Cafe Playa Grande. This is a very special place to be! I plan on returning in the future. Hopefully sooner than later. "

"I spent two days here and it was unlike any other lodge/hotel I’ve been to before.
The rooms are beautiful, the pool is stunning, the jungle gym is also such an amazing addition but nothing tops the the host himself, he made sure every question was answered and I truly felt at home almost 4000 km from Canada.
Pura vida!!"

"Great hotel! The owner,Audrey, and the front desk man, Rolando, were so nice and accommodating! Very friendly.
The room was clean and literally right in the beach. Even had a howler monkey wake me up one morning. Downtown is right outside the front door.
The bathroom was a little tight though
I would highly recommend "

"I Love this hotel. I have lived in Costa Rica 10 years in the Central Valley close to SJO airport for my work. My wife and I enjoy the beaches of Guanacaste so when I have a block of days off we will make the run to Tamarindo.
She found Hotel Perla on the beach so we wanted try it out. It is now our go to place! Why:
1. Directly on the beach. Our room is separated by 75' of grass and lounge chairs then the sand. The ocean varies because of the tide. At high tide there is typically 20-30 surfers enjoying the waves. We swam every day.
2. Customer service checking in and hotel questions is excellent.
3. Free breakfast is a 2-minute walk to Hotel Diria. Excellent buffet.
4. Access to two pools. One at Diria on the beach and my favorite across the street (Diria Condos) with water features and an awesome swim up bar.
5. Easy safe and secure free self parking if you have a car.
6. Easy walking distance to 25+ restaurants and bars, boutique shops and a little market directly next door for things you might need for the room.
Hotel Perla was recently remodeled. We prefer more of a local type hotel vs the fancier Diria next door for about double the price. (Same owner)
Pura vida!"
