Top Guanacaste Hotel Reviews

Hotel Riu Palace Costa Rica - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"Great trip First time to this part of the world Would highly recommend"

CC Beach Front Papagayo All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"We really had a great time with our family! The staff were wonderful and friendly, and the food was tasty with a nice variety. The property is a little dated, but it was more than adequate for our stay. The big crabs scared us at first, but we eventually got used to them! The swimming pool, the bar and beach service were both really great. One thing that pleasantly surprised me was the gym—it had all the equipment you need for a good workout. The music and entertainment were also great, although they should be a little more mindful of some of the songs they play since this is a child-friendly resort. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back again!"

Occidental Tamarindo - All Inclusive

8/10 Good

"The resort was very clean and organized. The front desk was very helpful. The bartenders were nice but the drinks were very weak definitely ask for double shots in your drinks. The buffet had plenty of options but best to get there early. The pool and beach areas were great but the beach isn't really for swimming. I recommend bringing sunscreen and bug repellent with you the prices were $40. Bring plenty of small bills for tipping and purchases outside the resort. Noone takes torn bills. The resort is is about a mile from town so not a bad walk. We enjoyed our time there and would recommend it."

Andaz Peninsula Papagayo Resort, Costa Rica, by Hyatt

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel will ruin all other hotels for you. The staff was incredible, the grounds were immaculate, the room was amazing, the wildlife and beach on property were unreal. Seriously, if you stay here, there’s no going back to mediocre hotels. You’ve been warned. We’re 100% going back. My wife literally cried when we were leaving."
