1. Hacienda Río Oro

Puerto Jiménez

"We both share part of miscommunication at check in, since we arrived at night and they don't have frint desk at this hour. And we didn't tell them about our arrival. But everybody just move so quickly to fix everything for us even the owner phone us from out of the country to ensure everything was ok. Road was not good, but driving was ok, hour and a half from Puerto Jimenez. Rooms are big. Rest rooms are in the room, but kind of out in the open. NO AC. But fans, electricity is by solar panels,...

Top Costa Rica Hotel Reviews

Fairfield by Marriott San Jose Airport Alajuela

10/10 Excellent

"Love this hotel the staff are amazing"

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

8/10 Good

"Overall the property was lovely. For an all inclusive the food was good. Cauri was the biggest letdown food wise, it just wasn’t flavorful. Bamboo was the one we ate at twice the first time it was amazing. The 2nd it was awful, the food came out at various times, some incorrect items, and the fried ice cream was lukewarm dough. From what we understood they were short staffed that night and a large family that didn’t make a reservation but berated the staff until they were let in which ruined it for everyone waiting. Service can be slow. You have to check in at the buffet and then wait for them to seat you. Which can take anywhere from 1-10 min depending on the time and day. I can’t imagine how the wait would be during high season. With sit down dinner it’s the same, water comes quick but can take time for the server to come. The staff are lovely always friendly and happy to help. The property was in great shape and cleaned regularly. We did wish the adults only side was open (under renovations) as many parents just let their kids run wild or play drums with silverware at a quiet dinner restaurant. If you don’t want to parent on vacation then leave your kids at home. The beach was clean and the vendors were not pushy, you tell them no once and they move along. I did end up getting a $40 hour long beach massage and it was amazing. We typically don’t repeat destinations but would stay here again if we did"

Volcano Lodge Hotel & Thermal Experience

10/10 Excellent

"It was an amazing stay! Having the thermal pool just a few steps from our room made the experience even more special and relaxing. The staff was consistently welcoming, attentive, and responsive, making us feel well taken care of throughout our visit. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and we would definitely recommend it!"

Margaritaville Beach Resort Playa Flamingo

10/10 Excellent

"Margaritaville on Playa de Flamingo was great! Great food, drinks (try the Green Monster), comfortable room, local entertainment, walk to a beautiful beach, large pool, pool tables inside, local craft fairs, sunsets, short walk to shopping, restaurants, harbor, sailing, snorkeling, surfing, diving. Plan to stay put on Weekend Sunsets as the small dirt road get crowded with guests and locals. Enjoy you stay."
