Top Costa Rica Hotel Reviews

Hotel Riu Guanacaste - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent hotel, helpful staff, perfect stay."

Hilton Garden Inn San Jose Airport City Mall

10/10 Excellent

"We love our stay, every person who I spoke with, did the extra mile The kindness was extraordinary amazing like everyone in the country and the hotel also I absolutely come back in my next trip to Costa Rica My family is from 3 hours away and we always want to be near to the airport the flight day and we definitely we will be back"

Hotel Tamarindo Diria Beach Resort

8/10 Good

"Excellent staff from front desk to rentals to cleaning staff, super clean facility. Even with all the wind causing leaves and such to fall in the pool, the staff was constantly cleaning. Breakfast was decent - quality of the cheeses and cold cuts was poor, in my opinion. However, there were many other options to choose from. We had a room with a view of the ocean, I think it's the Sunset room, and it was lovely. However, the bathrooms and rooms need a little bit of an upgrade, especially the bathroom. I'd definitely go to Tamarindo Diria again. Bonus! The extra pool across the street was soooo nice! Felt like a luxurious Vegas pool (complete with swim up bar)."

The Westin Reserva Conchal, an All-Inclusive Golf Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"There isn’t much to not like about this resort. It’s great for families, going with friends or even a work retreat. The bungalows are spacious and modern. The lighting is rather dim though which is hard for us older people! There are plenty of food choices and the buffet had a lot to choose from. The only negative food experience was the $99 wine pairing. It was truly horrible but everything else was so great, we didn’t remember that snafu for long. The staff were very professional and did their jobs well. Everything exuded luxury. The reliable shuttle service made you forget the property was huge. Super convenient. The beach and pools were definitely a highlight. I would without a doubt recommend this property to anyone."

Hotel Los Lagos Spa & Resort

8/10 Good

"You could stay here and experience so much the area has to offer! Zip lining is a bit pricey compared to other options in the area, but their breathtaking mountain views and incredible breakfast are worth it. The entire property is immaculately organized and clean, and I would definitely book again. The hot springs were fantastic, but I believe there might be better ones further down the road. Overall, I would give this place a solid 10 out of 10."
