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.
