Bartenders were professional and friendly as well. Made great drinks
The cooks provided excellent meals.

"The neighbors rooster woke us up a couple times in the night, but the hotel itself and staff were perfect. It was just what we needed and happened to be right next to our car rental place (Payless). "

Planet Hollywood Costa Rica by Royalton, An Autograph Collection All-Inclusive Resort
10/10 Excellent
"We traveled as a party of 6 and had a wonderful week. Because we booked through Expedia, the resort seemed to place special significance on our reservation — we received Expedia wristbands & door hangers, which made us feel oddly VIP (maybe damage control given mixed reviews, but we felt well cared for). Don’t believe the haters — they truly aim to please.
Do the pre-check-in if possible. The app didn’t work for me, and the in-person process is long when you just want to start vacationing.
Had a hiccup at check in. Noella came over as we sorted it out and turned things around. She gave us her direct number, checked in frequently, comped us a cabana, and got us into every restaurant as desired. She is truly an angel and made sure a small glitch didn't turn into a big deal.
Restaurant food was excellent; buffet was hit or miss but had surprises — especially made-to-order items. Pro tip: bacon is only available by asking the omelet cooks. Dinner at the restaurants is the way to go, every meal our group ordered was delicious.
At the time of writing, this is the only resort in the bay, so the beach is not crowded. Kayaks and paddleboards require reservations and they have only 2 of each total.
Beach vendors were friendly, conversational, and respectful — never pushy. Lovely people. Love the Tico spirit.
Shout out to Emu for having those tequila shots always at the ready!
Great resort for day drinkers: fun daytime party vibe, quieter nights. DJs were meh.
Pura Vida!

"Stayed here for 2 nights and I can say it’s the best budget all inclusive hotel in Costa Rica! Location and food was great but there’s not a lot of food options to choose from. They have friendly staff but not the ones in the restaurant. They are just busy talking to each other and doesn’t even want to have an interaction with guests. View was nice! Looks like a painting from afar! Also, don’t forget to hang the DND sign on your door as the hotel staff just go in to your room without knocking and refilling bath towels. "

"To be honest, vacation rentals are challenging for me. I have had some ok experiences and mostly it’s not good or a even a disaster. This place is the best place I have ever found! It’s gorgeous! The view and deck are incredible. The place has everything you would ever need. It’s spotless. The papagayo area is top! The concierge is outstanding. I’ll be back !!!"
