Hotel Riu Guanacaste - All Inclusive

Hotel Riu Guanacaste - All Inclusive

8/10 Good
"We stayed here for the first time in Costa Rica ! It was a short drive through the (about 30-40mins) to get here from Liberia airport. I recommend to book your transportation prior to your trip. The hotel was beautiful !! Lots of pools, food options and entertainment. The staff was also friendly. There is also a Waterpark in the property for the little ones with slides and sprinklers. We had an overall pleasant experience here, but coming with small children I do have some suggestions that could make the experience even better. Rooms had multiple doors which were easy to open even when locked (not child safe). I would suggest the hotel has family rooms with child safety locks to prevent any accidents while on vacation. Also rooms with families should be cleaned daily. We changed our children dirty diapers and they would be there for the whole day (sometimes more than a day). Even if we left for the day to eat or enjoy the pool, when we would return the garbage would still be there. Maybe they are short staff but this could improve. Also"

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

8/10 Good
"Overall planet Hollywood is a chill resort. There isn’t much to do after 7pm. The pools and bars close early. If you want something off the grid ish and just want to relax then it it’s ok for the price. Food was just ok, many of the restaurants use a lot of salt. Staff is very friendly. "

CC Beach Front Papagayo All Inclusive

CC Beach Front Papagayo All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent
"CC Beach Front Hotel is right on the beach (Pacific Ocean side), has multiple pools, great views (sunsets amazing), 25 minutes from Daniel Oduber airport (took us no time from flight arrival to check in), plenty of lounge chairs on and off resort. Staff were pleasant and accommodating. Thank you Daniel, Diego, Christian, Kiendy, Jean, Llieanna, Adrian from making us feel welcome. We pre booked airport transport with Freddy transportation services (alleviated any planning during stay…more time for drinks!) Privacy was great and we felt safe. Often our 13 and 14 yr old girls were in the pools while still insight from our partial beachfront hotel room. Even took an Uber to local town to visit BAC international bank to get some cash (US dollar. FYI most local atm only provide Costa Rica colon). Resort offers complimentary canoeing on adjacent Culebra Bay (opens to Gulf of Papagayo apart of Pacific Ocean). Locals on the beach offer jet skiing for a fee. While the canoes are tranquil, the jet skiing was a thrill (if you are adventurous don’t hesitate…find local Ronny for availability). On jet skis (with Ronny) ventured into the Gulf of Papagayo to see the coastal beaches, gorilla rock, caves and mangroves (bring goggles to avoid getting salt water in your eyes..uncomfortable but wash out with shower). Prebooked Guachipelin Volcano, Zip lining, horseback ride, water tubing, hot springs/mud bath tour. Also pre booked Nicaragua day tour. It’s a whole day trip. Check pickup locations"

"Here we go..The property conditions was excellent and the Hotel or resort staff was outstandind,great with me and my family as well. But unfortunely i can say the same for the food serving in the main restaurant they need to get or pay more attention cause for me working in the food and beverage industry for some many years the food that I tried was no good,everything else was really good."
