"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 Santa Elena Hotel Reviews

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

10/10 Excellent

"El servicio del hotel desde que llegamos hasta irnos fue excepcional. Recomendado."

Andaz Peninsula Papagayo Resort, Costa Rica, by Hyatt

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was super attentive, helpful and friendly. The resort is absolutely beautiful. Stunning views, wildlife everywhere! We literally had monkeys on our balcony at times. The food was amazing as well. The way the staff cleaned and organized our room while we were out each day was great. They paid a lot of attention to little details. You could really feel the pride everyone there had for their part in making us feel like we were the most important people there."

Occidental Papagayo - Adults Only - All inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"Very relaxing environment. The rooms were clean and the AC worked great. Staff was friendly and helpful. They have a shuttle service and it doesn't take long for them to come get you after you call them. Be prepared to walk up and down steep hills if you don't use the shuttle service. Beach was clean. Small pool by the beach has a swim up bar and that's where I spent a lot of my time. We saw monkeys in the trees by the swim up bar a few days."

Hotel Bosque del Mar, Playa Hermosa

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed in the Nyuri Suite for 4 nights. The suite is huge, clean and well air conditioned. We brought our teenager and had his own room queen bed and bathroom within the suite. We had a king bed and a huge bathroom. The suite had 2 large decks that overlooked the beach and many beautiful large trees. The food at the hotel was fantastic! We enjoyed many meals there, including several on the beach. There is food and drink service on the beach from the hotel. The pool at the hotel was very pretty and clean and more refreshing than the ocean. The best part of this wonderful hotel was its staff. Everyone we encountered was warm, friendly and helpful. After staying here for several days we had felt we had made new friends with the staff. Such nice people!"

Buena Vista del Rincon Eco Adventure Park, Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"We had a mountain room for 2 nights. We had a wonderful time. The cabin was clean, modern and had air conditioning. We loved the hammock form our front porch and saw Coati on several occasions while on our porch. The staff at the resort were sincere and kind. We enjoyed getting to know many of the staff here. The location was unique as it was the center of so many adventurous activities. During our stay we went horseback riding, to a waterfall, zip-lined, walked across multiple hanging bridges, went down a water slide, hot springs and went on a night tour of the jungle. All of these activities were incredible and on property. I would highly recommend this hotel if you’re looking for a little adventure with nice accommodations."
