Playa Hermosa Hotel with Pool

"We had an overall nice stay at the Hotel Riu Guanacaste. The property itself is beautiful, well-maintained, and very clean, with stunning views and a relaxing atmosphere that really makes it feel like a true getaway. That said, there were a couple of areas that could use improvement. Housekeeping was inconsistent during our stay, and at times it felt like attention to detail was lacking. The food was also just okay. There was a good variety, but the quality didn’t quite match the rest of the resort experience. Overall, it’s a pretty and enjoyable resort, especially if you’re looking to relax and enjoy the scenery. With a few improvements in service and dining, it could easily be a top-tier experience."

"Excellent food and staff. Rooms are a bit dated and could be cleaner but they are doing a full Reno end of summer this year. Will definitely return!!! "

"Comfortable room! Great pool! Breakfast was delicious and included! Staff were friendly. Easy access to beach! "

"Clean rooms, perfect location, close to airport."

"The pictures looked nothing like the resort. The resort was run down, every lounger was broken, hammocks had holes etc. The room was not the cleanest- mirrors had a thick film, perimeter + corners all had debris. The food in the pictures did not exist and in fact the food was awful! It was the same everyday, beans rice + meat. The view however was amazing, the staff was great and the drinks were nice and stiff. "

"The property is good. You can tell it's getting a bit old. Could use some updates The shuttle is nice to get around, and everything is reasonably close if you want to walk up and down the roads."

"Our family had a terrific time at this lovely property. The beautiful gardens were full of iguana and butterfly sightings and it’s just a 3 min walk to the beach. The included breakfast was quality and the rooms were simple but clean. Our kids loved the pool and we adults found paradise sipping the pina coladas delivered poolside. The private exited parking was also a plus as were the super friendly and helpful staff. Great find! "

"Great beach. Coarse shell sand but still ok on bare feet. Not overly busy and right off the resort. Waves not really big enough to boogie board on but good for smaller kids to play. Pool is very nice with lots of lounging areas. Entertainment area with pool tables, ping pong and fooseball - great for kids/teens. Spacious and quiet rooms with great amenities. Animals on the resort are a highlight (iguanas, monkeys, raccoons). Food was excellent with nice variety and good quality. Staff was helpful and friendly. No complaints other than our check in was very slow."

"The hotel is situated on a beautiful beach and an overall nice looking property. We got a room that had several issues and didn’t match the pictures, so if you get assigned room 707, considering asking for a different room. The hotel did provide some comps for the condition but overall our experience didn’t match the price tag of the hotel. "
