"Casa Natalia was a great house for our family to stay in. We were there for a wedding and this house was perfect for 14 of us. House is very clean, spacious central area for games and discussions, a nice pool/outdoor space and access to the beach. It’s close to town and easy to go back and forth. Check-in was easy and secure and the host was awesome. We will definitely stay at this property again. "

Top Guanacaste Hotel Reviews

Hotel Tamarindo Diria Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful property, nice room, great location and value"

Occidental Papagayo - Adults Only - All inclusive

8/10 Good

"Overall, the resort itself is beautiful, the grounds are well maintained, and the food I had during the day was very good. There is definitely potential for a great vacation here, but my experience as a solo traveler was mixed. The staff were generally friendly, although I noticed the level of service often improved once they realized you were tipping. My biggest disappointment was the room assignment. I was told that because of the resort’s relationship with Travelocity, I would receive an amazing room. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case. I was placed in one of the furthest buildings (rooms 12–17), far from the restaurants, pools, beach, and entertainment. The area was dark and isolated, which felt unsafe as a woman traveling alone. I would have expected solo travelers to be placed in a more central location. The wildlife was another major issue. Raccoons actually entered my room and took food that the resort had left on the table. It seemed like they were accustomed to entering guest rooms, and throughout the night I could hear raccoons and monkeys outside trying the door. It made me uncomfortable enough that I avoided going out after dark, which meant I missed the evening dining and entertainment I had paid for. I also booked an expensive fishing excursion through the tour company on-site and was very disappointed. I didn’t feel the experience was worth the cost, and as a woman traveling alone, I felt like I wasn’t given the same effort or attention I expected."

Hotel Riu Palace Costa Rica - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was clean, but a bit outdated. The staff was very nice and hospitable. Getting the mini-bar restocked was a challenge at times, as was getting more than one towel per person. The food in the restaurants, for the most part, was good. Restaurants don't take reservations, so you do need to be in line early to get a seat. They only do two seatings, one at 5:00 pm and one at 7:00 pm. The Monkey Bar is definitely worth the walk. You'll be greeted by the monkeys along the walk, and the food and drinks are definitely authentic. (Take some grapes or bread from the buffet to have a really cool monkey experience.)"

El Mangroove Papagayo, Autograph Collection

8/10 Good

"Great staff, amenities and quality. There are 3 restaurants but food options are limited overall, would have anticipated a wider menu. Also, the beach area is not safe, flipflops, hats and sunglasses get stolen regularly. There are jellyfish in the sea so beware."
