Dirty beach, tons of street sellers and jet skies blocking the access to the water... Stay away from Tierra Bomba overall.... Not worth it... Beach is dirty with garbage in the sand and water, many vendors and there are jet skis blocking access to the beach and motorcycles driving around all the time.... Don't come to Tierra Bomba... It's not worth coming

Disaster service, rude waitresses, very low quality food. They have a speaker with music at full volume that does not even allow conversation, much less rest. They took us there, deceived that it was a beautiful thing and nothing to see. We went to Tamarindo almost next door and the experience changed completely. I do not recommend Beach Costa Azul.
