Top Guanacaste Hotel Reviews

Hotel Riu Guanacaste - All Inclusive

8/10 Good

"Overall, everything was good and nice"

Occidental Papagayo - Adults Only - All inclusive

8/10 Good

"Property was beautiful. MANY stairs and hills, but they did offer a shuttle that usually was pretty prompt. Staff was very friendly and helpful Ala cart restaurants were amazing. Buffet was not very big but fuss was decent. They only allow 1 Ala cart reservation per every 3 days even tho the restaurants always had empty tables. That was disappointing."

Hotel Riu Palace Costa Rica - All Inclusive

8/10 Good

"As a woman in my 20s traveling solo, I had a mixed experience staying here. Room: My room was clean, and housekeeping did a great job every day when requested. One strange thing did happen, though,a mattress appeared behind the curtains in my room halfway through my stay. I never asked about it, but it was definitely odd. Amenities: The pools and bar were great, but what really stood out was the service staff. Everyone serving drinks was incredibly personable. They asked about my travels, joked around, remembered my name, and made me feel genuinely welcome. As a solo traveler, that made a big difference. Food: The buffet was by far the best dining option. I tried eating at the specialty restaurants, but I was turned away twice because I didn't get in line around 5:15 p.m. to receive a ticket that sells out quick. If you're spending your days on excursions you won’t be able to dine. Room service is VERY limited. Noise: I honestly wish I hadn't paid extra for the ocean-view room. While the view was beautiful, it overlooked the stage where nightly entertainment took place. The music was very loud and made it difficult to sleep. It became a "if you can't beat them, join them" situation, but since I had early morning excursions planned, I often ended up exhausted. Overall: I think this resort is a better fit if you plan to spend most of your vacation relaxing on the property. if you're a traveler planning to spend most of your time exploring Costa Rica, I don’t recommend"

Andaz Peninsula Papagayo Resort, Costa Rica, by Hyatt

10/10 Excellent

"I don't know that one night was good enough to get a great feel of this place. I think it is great for couples and families who like to have their peace and quiet. I had a really pleasant stay and the golf course was amazingly challenging."

Occidental Tamarindo - All Inclusive

8/10 Good

"The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the food was good with plenty of options to choose from. The entertainment was enjoyable but could use some improvement, as it felt a bit slow at times. The resort itself could definitely benefit from some updates. Our blackout curtains didn’t work, and the regular curtains were ripped, which took away from the overall experience. Despite those issues, the staff’s excellent service and kindness made our stay Enjoyable"

Wyndham Tamarindo

10/10 Excellent

"It was a great stay from start to finish. Nice room, great views, loved the pool, everything we ate at caviar restaurant delicious, breakfast offered a nice variety, staff was always helpful and amazing, free shuttle service was the best and access to Langosta Beach Club was a plus! Would stay here again."
