"Un lugar sin privacidad. La parte frontal de la habitación es de vidrio( Sucios) lo que expone a los huéspedes a la mirada en todo momento de cualquier persona. Durante nuestra estancia habían trabajadores que acentúaban aún más este problema. Además, mantenían música y conversaciones a alto volumen. Parquear es todo un reto, especialmente con un coche grande y con otros coches en el parqueo. Para salir de la propiedad hay que bajar del coche y digitar un código, lo cual me parece una...

Top Junquillal Beach Hotel Reviews

Hotel Riu Guanacaste - All Inclusive

8/10 Good

"We thoroughly enjoyed our time in Costa Rica , the Riu Guanacaste was very clean, the gardens were gorgeous but the food was not for me. I had a hard time finding something besides fruit and salad that tasted fresh. I am not a huge buffet person and trying to get a table at the restaurants was a lot of work. Besides the food, I would highly recommend the resort . The White party was so much fun too!"

Secrets Papagayo - Adults Only - All inclusive

8/10 Good

"The hospitality is fantastic at the property—the staff went above and beyond to make us comfortable, our room was upgraded, and the spa service was perfect. Where secrets can improve is the cleanliness and the upkeep of the rooms and property. It definitely seems a little dated for its rating, and the sofa and chair in our room was stained in a way that we didn’t want to sit in them. It was nice to have a quiet pool and a party pool but the water in both were so hot it felt like bathwater. We were also disappointed in the food quality and the lack of Costa Rican dishes on any of the menus."

Planet Hollywood Costa Rica by Royalton, An Autograph Collection All-Inclusive Resort

8/10 Good

"I really enjoyed my stay.The staff was amazing,the rooms were very clean and breakfast was very good.I didn’t like the fact of no elevators,we had to carry luggage up the steps and walk outside in the dark path of trees with the animals running around."

Borinquen Thermal Resort

10/10 Excellent

"This is such an amazing resort. Beautiful property and friendly staff. I’ve stayed in both the bungalows and the villas and they are both very nice. The natural sauna and hot springs are delightful. We love sitting on the patio area of the restaurant with a beautiful view. The restaurant staff is always very nice and attentive and the kindness of Diego and Mariana to remember my friend’s birthday and set a special table for our dinner was exceptional. This resort has all the activities on site. We saw lots of wildlife and our horseback riding adventure was amazing. There is also a nice hiking trail along the river on the property. We will definitely be back for a third time and most likely make it an annual trip! We can’t get enough of the daily sauna, hot springs, and mud experience!!"
