"Filip and Petra were great hosts, flowers, fruit and good wine were waiting for us. I was traveling alone with two 12 year old children, they loved the giant trampoline, being awakened by the toucans, visiting the Coati at noon and falling asleep with the croaking of frogs and dives in the pool of course.

Top Costa Rica Hotel Reviews

JW Marriott Guanacaste Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Property was beautiful,clean..The staff was friendly and very helpful"

Hotel Riu Guanacaste - All Inclusive

8/10 Good

"Wish the had more variety at breakfast it was always the same thing.. disappointed in the fact that the AL la carts were actually just another buffet..the beach was a let down..no shady areas, no warning signs for the scorching hot sand, got burned within seconds of touching it."

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

10/10 Excellent

"Planet Hollywood was absolutely beautiful. When you walk in everyone claps and you are greeted with a dragronfruit refresher. Check in was smooth. The room is a suite extremely comfortable and spacious. I have to say one thing that stood out is how clean this hotel is. The staff very friendly. The food is not the best …Tye sushi and hibachi was very good . Buffet for breakfast is very good …dinner was not that great. By the pool area they have a burger place if you want hamburgers and nachos. The pool has daily activities however the foam party is the best!!!…The swim up bar can get crowded…lots of Bees in that area.I wish they had something to control the amount of Bees in the swim up bar. This hotel is on a mountain. It makes it hard to walk around because the roads are very steep. They have carts to transport travelers to the lobby and pool area . They come around every 15 min sometimes if they are very busy it can take 30 min. Nexus tours that help with excursions were excellent!!… i use them to book tours and for airport transportation. At the beach you have beach chairs and you have a volcanic beach. Black sand and beautiful water. You will see monkeys bring fruit. You can feed them. We would definitely return to this hotel."
