Lodges in Guanacaste

"Located in the center of town, street is very loud if you’re staying in the beachfront units. Very overpriced for what you get! Very overpriced. Bar staff was slow. Beach outside of the hotel not managed by the hotel and was dirty and had trash everywhere. Rooms in need of updating. Morning breakfast buffet was the highlight with great variety and good food. We will not stay here again. "

"Bugs came in as well as a lizard. Tv in bedroom is not up to date"

"Nice grounds and adequate rooms with nice personnel. Food same night after night at buffet mostly- salad bar and fruit best and stick with made to order items when can otherwise. No beach presence. You can get your own chairs at Palace in trees and drag (heavy) yourself. No town near by. Expensive for what it is. "

"Yes and yes "

"There was food tray beside our door when we checked in and it was still there the next day when we checked out. Made me question the cleanliness of the rest of the hotel. While trying to sleep a worker started loudly plastering the ceiling in the hallway right in front of our room. 9:30/10pm. The aircon was loud and turned on and off frequently. For a 400$ CND hotel I was very disappointed."

"The pool was absolutely amazing along with all the staff! The swim up bar had great drinks and lots of variety of food options. Really overall great experience for my husband and I just to unwind. "

"Room was in good condition and large with kitchen. Comfortable bed. Beach sand is soft. Pools were nice and at top of hill with the food & drinks. Some common areas need a bit of maintenance/upkeep. Rooms are down the steep hill in rows. Stayed in 300's about 1/2 way down. Walking down was not bad, did not need to walk up as shuttle arrived at the right times. The shuttle ran a loop that seemed pretty frequent. They say every 5-15 min, but never had to wait even 5. Only time I saw it full was the 7am first run when everyone wanted breakfast then too. Though the resort did not seem very crowded. Food and drinks are the low point. Beer is local Imperial which is good. Only have about 5 bottles of generic alcohol for anything else. One rum, scotch, tequila, vodka, and maybe a couple more bottles. So they can't make all drinks. No name brand bottles like the Expedia pictures show. Food is also limited. About a 6 warming tray buffet. Generally the meat was too tough to cut with the knives they provided. Saw someone with burgers, but not sure how to get one of those. Dessert was good. Breakfast they can make omlets."

"Spacious room, large pool area, clean beach, Italian restaurant was delicious, friendly staff"

"Great vacation!"
