1. A Slice of Paradise. Superb private luxury tent with stunning ocean view

Ocotal beach

"Absolutely fantastic experience! The private patio overlooking Playa Ocotal is so spacious, and there is always a breeze. Wake up to the sound of howler monkeys in the hills and various birds calling all day. The air conditioned tent keeps you cool at night but you could easily not use ac and let the breeze come through the mesh screens. The host is super responsive if you have questions or need anything. Feel like you are isolated, no annoying people or crying children, but good restaurants and...

Top Guanacaste Hotel Reviews

CC Beach Front Papagayo All Inclusive

8/10 Good

"Amazing property, very helpful waitstaff, inconsistent front desk. Food was great, location was very very very quiet. If you are looking for a stay where you don’t leave the property, this is it!"

Hotel Riu Palace Costa Rica - All Inclusive

8/10 Good

"We had a great stay! The rooms were clean but some basic things didn't work well like the sink drains and the light in our bathroom. There was a musty odour but I hear they're renovating soon. The staff were amazing - everyone was so kind and friendly and helpful. Food was good, and the pools were lovely! Overall a great choice, perfect if you have kids."

Margaritaville Beach Resort Playa Flamingo

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were amazing. I can’t even begin to explain how truly awesome they were. They went above and beyond to make sure we felt comfortable at all times, especially my two littles. The pools were always clean and were as much fun for the adults as they were for the kids. The swim-up bar was a true hit; from the drinks to the food, it was all so good. Just a few steps away from the beach, we made sure to see the sunset every evening. It will take your breath away no matter how many times you see it!"

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."
