Hotel Riu Guanacaste - All Inclusive

8/10 Good

"It was missing quiet a few amenities/services that are offered at other RIU locations."

Hampton By Hilton Guanacaste Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect location for travelling the next morning. Clean, spacious and very quiet. Wonderful pool area and morning breakfast."

Condovac la Costa

8/10 Good

"Everything except for the food, was fantastic."

CC Beach Front Papagayo All Inclusive

8/10 Good

"Staff was nice and helpful, and the resort is right on the beach which was nice. 2 pools with swim up bars but they close at 5. The buffet food is not very good. They also don’t really stock your mini bar in the room. Only a couple beers water and coke. Nothing else. Overall I enjoyed Costa Rica it’s a beautiful country but the resort was underwhelming and could have been better."

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

10/10 Excellent

"Check in was smooth. Diana, one of the managers, welcomed us upon arrival and took my number to keep in touch throughout the week to ensure we had everything we needed for our stay. She also said goodbye and asked us for in person feedback on our way out to make sure everything was good on our trip. The resort is on a steep hillside, but the trolleys come on a regular basis. Buildings 17-19 are probably the most convenient to access the lobby and the pool/beach if you decide to walk up the stairs (totally doable). Our group had 3 girls sharing a room and stayed in 19105 (2 double beds and a pullout couch) - the room was cleaned daily, fridge restocked daily, AC worked well and a ceiling fan kept the room extra comfortable. The amenities were great - we enjoyed all 6 à la carte restaurants (1 - Guy Fieri’s burger bar was open for lunch service only), 1 buffet restaurant, 5 bars and a coffee bar. The coffee bar had amazing hand crafted coffees and fresh pressed juices. Food was good everywhere we ate. The gym was indoors (AC). Daily poolside and evening entertainment (main building) was fun. The resort is very family friendly and the complimentary activities at the beach were great and easy to book. Costa Rica had excellent excursions and activities for everyone. The nexus group was helpful in selecting and booking activities. The staff at Planet Hollywood CR have to be the kindest and most helpful I’ve experienced at any AI resort. We loved our stay! Thank you"

The Palms At Coco Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Great place, close to all amenities in Del Coco. The staff was very helpful for sites to see and local events happening in the area. The pool area was great as well."
