Margaritaville Beach Resort Playa Flamingo

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent stay! Would definitely stay here again. We stayed 3 different places while on Costa Rica and this was the best by far!"

Hotel Riu Guanacaste - All Inclusive

8/10 Good

"The hotel was nice. The housekeeper's were very respectful the rooms are clean however, front desk doesn’t know anything but how to check you in and check you out.. the food was mid. It was the same buffet every day for breakfast and lunch and dinner. The Italian restaurant was good. The Chinese restaurant was blah and the steakhouse was good, but you need reservations and the manager is super nice. They got a few adult swim up pools in a nice waterpark area for the kids overall, I rate this hotel 8 out of 10"

Condovac la Costa

10/10 Excellent

"The room have an amazing beach view. Could use some renovation as; painting, or cleaning the walls and new pillows. The sheets and towels were clean and very well organized. The Staff were amazing, very helpful and always with a smile. Loved taking the shuttle to go down the beach. The hill is very deep so definitely taking a shuttle was helpful. The FOOD was 10/10. so good perfect portion and the best of having inclusive is that we ate whatever we wanted. The drink tasted like juice so getting drunk would be easier if you want that 😅 Costa Rica Unique (a part of the excursion office) staff are so nice! very helpful on explaining what the packages are and what brings. Overall very good for the price and amazing, definitely would recommend to someone!"
