Hotel Riu Guanacaste - All Inclusive

8/10 Good

"I was pleasantly surprised how they kept the property clean and organized. The one complaint is that I wish that had more food options besides buffets and food after 9pm."

Specatular 3-bedroom Penthouse with the BEST ocean views! With a Rooftop patio

10/10 Excellent

"This place was amazing! The view was beautiful! I would definitely recommend staying here!"

Portas Novas: Luxury Stunning Ocean-View Villa in Ocotal with Infinity Pool • 12 Guests

10/10 Excellent

"The original property had an issue. Management changed us to another property very quickly. We had a great time."

Hotel Pura Vista

10/10 Excellent

"This place is amazing. We were sad that we only had one night here as we could have stayed for a week. The hotel is small - 6-8 rooms perched above the bay. The pool also overlooks the water and was such a treat to cool off from the heat. Mark is an excellent host and was incredibly helpful. The rooms were brilliantly laid out, modern, and comfortable. The small beach is about a 10-15 minute walk down the hill and lovely."

Villa with an Ocean View and Private Pool In Bahia Pez Vela Resort

Luxurious private villa with breathtaking views & beautiful resort amenities

"Great property with fantastic views. Very helpful and friendly staff at the resort."

Villa Mariposa N°10 - Luxury Beachfront Escape, Private, Steps to Beach & Pool

10/10 Excellent

"This property exceeded our expectations! The location is absolutely beautiful, with stunning beach views and direct access just steps from the beach, pool, and restaurant.What truly made our stay exceptional was the outstanding hospitality. Alvin was an incredible host who made planning effortless by providing detailed recommendations for activities, restaurants, transportation, grocery stores, and arrival logistics before we even left home. Thanks to his recommendation, we hired Daniel as our driver, and he was fantastic—we highly recommend him!During our stay, Alvin checked in regularly to ensure everything was perfect. When we experienced an unexpected family medical emergency, he responded immediately, helped coordinate transportation, and directed us to an excellent local medical facility that took wonderful care of our daughter. His genuine concern and support meant so much to our family.The on-site team was equally amazing. Cesar and the office staff were responsive, welcoming, and attentive throughout our stay.We can't recommend this property highly enough. If you're considering booking, don't hesitate—you won't regret it. Thank you, Alvin, Daniel, Cesar, and the entire team for making our vacation so memorable!"

Spectacular View Luxury Villa, Overlooking Ocean at Bahia Pez Vela Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Gwendolyn’s place is amazing. It was immaculate and well stocked. She is eager to answer questions, friendly and readily available when needed (via the VRBO messaging). The property managers (Jacki and Caesar) are also very friendly and responsive. It is directly next to the property’s upper infinity pool, but it felt like our own private pool because we only saw people there one time in our 6 days. Gwen has beach towels for you and even a couple of beach chairs if you need them. The kitchen is fully stocked with dishes, pots and pans, a good many spices and a coffee maker (with filters). You will need to buy extra paper towels and bring laundry detergent/dryer sheets.The neighborhood has a lovely private beach with paddle boarding and snorkeling gear onsite. It is about a five minute walk from the house to the beach, but I definitely recommend driving your vehicle because the hill is very steep. There is parking for guests, but you will need to arrive early enough to grab a spot. You can also get a massage at the beach or lounge in one of the three infinity pools, while enjoying lunch from the Soluna restaurant. The location of the house is very convenient to a ton of activities. La Leona waterfall is 1.5 hours (ask for Brandon if you go and tell him the Pittmans said hi), Palo Verde riverboat cruise is less than two hours, Diamonte Wildlife Park is less than an hour. We also beach hopped a couple of days. We will definitely return to this house. Amazing in every way!"

Villa Cala N°11 - 23 Steps to the Pacific Ocean, Luxury Villa with Stunning View

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely spot and super helpful host and staff. This small resort feels more secluded than nearby options and is great for families. On-site restaurant is great and our (older) kids could hang out in the pool when they were done with dinner but"
