Hotel Riu Guanacaste - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay. Staff were friendly and helpful. Food was excellent. Rooms were clean and a good size. Shower was a rainfall. Pools were fantastic and had options for all your needs. Always able to find a shaded area for seating."

Planet Hollywood Costa Rica by Royalton, An Autograph Collection All-Inclusive Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Planet Hollywood was absolutely beautiful. When you walk in everyone claps and you are greeted with a dragronfruit refresher. Check in was smooth. The room is a suite extremely comfortable and spacious. I have to say one thing that stood out is how clean this hotel is. The staff very friendly. The food is not the best …Tye sushi and hibachi was very good . Buffet for breakfast is very good …dinner was not that great. By the pool area they have a burger place if you want hamburgers and nachos. The pool has daily activities however the foam party is the best!!!…The swim up bar can get crowded…lots of Bees in that area.I wish they had something to control the amount of Bees in the swim up bar. This hotel is on a mountain. It makes it hard to walk around because the roads are very steep. They have carts to transport travelers to the lobby and pool area . They come around every 15 min sometimes if they are very busy it can take 30 min. Nexus tours that help with excursions were excellent!!… i use them to book tours and for airport transportation. At the beach you have beach chairs and you have a volcanic beach. Black sand and beautiful water. You will see monkeys bring fruit. You can feed them. We would definitely return to this hotel."

Tortuga Verde Glamping

8/10 Good

"The place is pretty cool! A unique stay. Definitely not a great place if you are planning on working since their WiFi is not the best. They do have a small coworking space but the lighting is kinda bad and bad WiFi as well. Aside from that, everything was great! The plunge pool was nice, the rooms nice and clean, and breakfast was small but good."

Andaz Peninsula Papagayo Resort, Costa Rica, by Hyatt

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel will ruin all other hotels for you. The staff was incredible, the grounds were immaculate, the room was amazing, the wildlife and beach on property were unreal. Seriously, if you stay here, there’s no going back to mediocre hotels. You’ve been warned. We’re 100% going back. My wife literally cried when we were leaving."

Tranquil 3 Bed 3 Bath Beach House Steps from the Quaint Playa Ocotal Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Took a family vacation and loved our time here. Host and concierge were very responsive and helpful. Location was near a great clean beach, amenities of the house were as listed and all that we needed. Would definitely stay again."
