Top Matapalo Hotel Reviews

Hotel Riu Guanacaste - All Inclusive

6/10 Okay

"The facility is great. The hotel seems to be understaffed. They need more people on the restaurants to clean and maintain food. Food runs out, the kitchen is constantly running out of food trays. Also I noticed the chefs don’t use gloves. I think people handling food should always wear gloves to touch food."

Hotel Tamarindo Diria Beach Resort

8/10 Good

"Clean. Visual appeal. Nicely located. Courteous. Breakfast buffet was a highlight of my trip. Rooms are on both sides of the main road (some beachside, some across the road). Ocean view 1st floor single king bed room nicely located on ocean side of main road. One of the adult pools in the back is nice and never crowded. "

Margaritaville Beach Resort Playa Flamingo

10/10 Excellent

"This resort was perfect for our family! It was small enough that I felt comfortable letting our teens roam, but large enough to have enough to do. Jose had a fun list of activities each day and there was entertainment in the evenings. The meals were delicious and staff was very friendly and helpful! I would absolutely return to visit and recommend it to others!"

Jardín del Edén Boutique Hotel - Adults Only

10/10 Excellent

"A hidden gem — peaceful paradise in the heart of Tamarindo Jardín del Edén feels exactly like what you’d imagine a tropical resort to be: a quiet, lush oasis tucked away from the noise. The property itself is stunning — beautifully maintained, full of greenery, and genuinely serene in a way that’s hard to find. The hotel has no direct beach access, but honestly, it doesn’t take away from the experience. The grounds more than make up for it. Rooms are simple but clean and comfortable — nothing overly flashy, which fits the vibe perfectly. Food is really good, and having breakfast and dinner included is a great perk. The hotel also offers wellness activities almost every day, which is a lovely touch. The concierge team deserves a special mention — they’ll help you arrange any tours and handle the logistics so you can just enjoy your time. Location-wise, you’re right in the middle of everything: shops and restaurants are steps away, and the beach is only a 5-minute walk. It’s not the most dramatic beach in Costa Rica, but the sunsets and sunrises are absolutely worth it. A wonderful place to recharge. Highly recommend it."

Villas Sol Beach Resort

2/10 Terrible

"Our stay at Villas Sol was one of the worst hotel experiences we've ever had, and I feel obligated to warn other travelers. At check-in we were told that the pool with the swim-up bar, jacuzzi and Spa were closed. These closures were not communicated before arrival. We booked a Premium Ocean Villa and our first room had an obstructed ocean view and rock-hard beds. Management did change our room to the correct room, after we complained. The beach was littered with trash and rocks, the remaining pool was overcrowded, and there were constant vendors on the beach pushing tours. Most critically — we got food poisoning. We ordered nachos that took over an hour, arrived cold, and we noticed the restaurant roof actively leaking into the kitchen. That night my daughter and I were violently ill. My husband didn't eat the nachos and was fine. We never ate there again and had no further illness. Do not eat at the hotel restaurant. We also called for security one night after individuals threw rocks at our villa door. No one ever came. The property has a gate but does not appear to have trained security staff. On our last day we checked our bill early — and discovered the hotel was attempting to charge us $300 for allegedly soiling a mattress. It was completely false. We photographed every mattress and had management inspect them personally. They found nothing and dropped the charge. I believe this is a deliberate scam targeting tourists before they leave the country."

Condovac la Costa

4/10 Poor

"Pools were great, but that was pretty much it. This is an older, has been resort. It has great potential, but they seem to skimp on everything. There were two of us in a family suite. Not a couple, just 2 female friends. They only would give us 2 towels and 1 hand towel, and no wash cloths, even when requested more. We were told that’s all they give for 2 people. There were lots of bugs in the room. Little flying ants mostly, but we still don’t want them in the bed. The bar was limited on drinks they could provide (no mojitos, sangria, even simple popular drinks). Food options were minimal. Not buffet style. And 2 options, typically chicken with rice or pasta and pork chops. It all tasted the same, clearly leftovers from day to day. Fruit was also limited. Dessert looked like Little Debbie’s desserts. The beach was fine but beach lounges are falling apart both at beach and the pool. Not a place I would return or recommend."
