Great non-thrill experience - We had just enough time to do the cultural tour on our work trip to the area and I cannot recommend enough. Kenneth gave an AMAZING demonstration and was friendly and informative. Then we enjoyed the wildlife refuge which was also enjoyable. If you are looking for a non-thrill adventure we highly recommend!

Excellent experience - Our bus was late getting us there and the staff went out of their way to arrange alternate transportation so we could spend more time with the animals. It was a memorable experience.

The best of Costa Rica in one location - We attended the cultural experience and wildlife at Diamante. It was worth the price and we spent about 5 hours in the park. It was a beautiful day and we didn't have to fight any crowds. The staff was knowledgeable, helpful and all of them had excellent customer service skills. We especially appreciated Kevin who guided us through the cacao, coffee and sugar cane experience. He was very personable and patiently answered our many questions!

Educational, fun cultural tour - It provided a good education on the processes used to process coffee beans, cocoa, and sugar cane. The presenters spoke decent English and added humor to make it fun. Along with the free samples of coffee and chocolate, at the end they loaded each of us up with a handful of carrots to feed the rabbits, pigs, goats, and donkey. Everyone enjoyed that.

Lots to see, especially loved the immersive area of the Toucans and butterflies. Staff very informative and helpful! - The park is so close to the Riu it's great, 2min away with free shuttle from Riu Guanacaste. It was wonderful to be able to walk inside the aviary with the Toucans and butterflies! It was nice to see all the wild cats, altho they are behind glass...I wish it was wire. They are so beautiful! It was nice to see all the snakes and frogs, behind glass but up close! The iguanas and turtles are out in the open, having fun! The orchids were beautiful and the staff were very helpful and informative!

Caters too much to Americans - The coffee demonstration and all the parks staff were lovely and informative. My only reason for giving it 4/5 stars is because as a Hispanic, I was pretty disappointed to see how much they cater to Americans. Mind you, I am US born and bred but love and respect other cultures. I was recently in Switzerland and all their museums had the information plaques in Swiss German first, French next and English last (as it should be). Seeing Costa Rica's official language is Spanish, I was surprised to see that English came first in all the plaques and was prominent in signs. I understand that Americans and Canadians are the primary visitors of tourism for their country, but it was still sad to see. I would have loved to seen Spanish information given first.

Don’t go - So very disappointing. This is basically a small zoo with animals caged in very small enclosures. The pictures and descriptions misrepresent this sad experience. Don’t waste your money or time. We wanted to see sloths and tapirs but you can see these animals in much more free habitats in zoos with a focus on conservation not a money maker for Amstar. The staff are lovely, they do their best but the company is ripping people off big time.
