CC Beach Front Papagayo All Inclusive ★★★★

"It's not all-inclusive! It only includes breakfast and dinner! Be careful!"

Waldorf Astoria Costa Rica Punta Cacique ★★★★★

"Me he hospedado en muchos hoteles en Costa Rica, por mucho el Waldorf Astoria ha sido la mejor experiencia! Trato amable, instalaciones espectaculares. Propiedad nueva, comida deliciosa, playa privada, albercas o picinas espectaculares, habitaciones cómodas"

Suitree Experience Hotel ★★★★

"The hotel is just as beautiful as the photos. It's very unique, with excellent facilities and amenities. The kids loved it. Highly recommended! I recommend the meal package, which is more economical than ordering à la carte at the restaurant (since this is a rustic luxury hotel, dining out is inconvenient, so I recommend eating at the hotel). The restaurant is excellent and reasonably priced. The meal package is a three-course meal (appetizer, main course, and dessert). Afterward, you'll receive a bill with prices (but not included with the meal package). Drinks are charged separately, and tips are added to the bill. There are five or six main courses, all well-presented and generously portioned. The service is friendly, and I especially recommend the local beer. The lookout at the top is fantastic; watching the sunset and the stars is a delight. The pool is nestled in the mountains, so there are fallen leaves. It's cleaned during the day (but don't expect it to be as clean as an indoor pool), but it's still a lovely, rustic experience. I'd planned to swim in the evening, but I wasn't expecting to see a lot of frogs swimming around. Although I didn't get to swim, it was still fun. You can call a golf car to pick you up from your room to the restaurant, which is very convenient and available on demand. The room was well-equipped, especially the telescope, which was fantastic. The hotel also offers various paid excursions around the area, which can be booked in advance. Since the purpose of staying at Wild Luxury is to relax in nature, staying at the hotel wasn't boring."

Siwõ Art Guesthouse ★★★

"The B&B is clean, well-kept, and the staff is friendly, which I appreciated. The location is about a 6-minute walk to the beach, which is great. However, there is nothing else nearby. To get coffee, food, or essentials, you need to either drive 8–10 minutes to the next town or walk 35–40 minutes through hills. One disappointment was the breakfast policy. Breakfast was not offered to us because it was only included for guests who booked months in advance. I offered to pay an additional fee for breakfast, but that option was not available. I was told they needed to make sure there was enough food for other guests. While I understand planning limitations, it was surprising that basic items like coffee, tea, or water were not available to all guests. As someone who works in aviation and has traveled extensively worldwide, these are typically standard offerings. Especially at a bed and breakfast and in a country known for its coffee. Not all rooms have TVs, which was not an issue for us since we mainly returned to sleep. However, dogs barking at night made it difficult to rest, which affected the overall comfort. In summary, the stay was pleasant due to cleanliness, friendly staff, and proximity to the beach, but clearer breakfast policies, access to basic amenities would significantly improve the guest experience."

Secrets Papagayo Costa Rica ★★★★★

"La habitación era limpia, moderna y cómoda. El hotel tiene un lado "normal" con bares y música de piscina, así como un lado "quieto" cerca del spa sin la música ...so es bueno tener la elección de vibe para sentarse. En total, es un hotel muy bien gestionado: uno que nos alegramos de haber permanecido y otro que definitivamente volveremos."

Hotel Riu Guanacaste ★★★★

Riu Palace Costa Rica - All Inclusive ★★★★★

"The staff was semi-friendly. The food was horrible at almost all restaurants. Barely any pool chairs available by 11am. A friend was discriminated and harassed by under aged guests that were drinking alcohol. The resort believed young kids and forced my friend to remain in her room her entire trip till her stay was over. Total ****** and discrimination against security! My room key deactivated every single day! My phone was never near it. Restaurants closed way too early around 9pm. Woke up to a roach staring me in my face the night before leaving. I highly doubt NOT recommend this resort. The don’t believe in compensating for bad experiences at this resort. I love the country but will never be back here again. If you’re black steer clear. Lots of ****** onlookers like you’re living in the 50s. Was even flipped the bird for no reason whatsoever. Photos online are very deceptive. Not real furniture. Seem like bad wood work. Not a real couch or headboard. Best thing to eat was at the bakery."
