Hotel Riu Guanacaste - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"To many ants in the room , also needs a nightclub for partying"

Occidental Papagayo - Adults Only - All inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"The resort isn't brand new, but it's kept up very well and the older build actually brings the building and the grounds much charm! It fits nicely into the allure of the region! When I booked I saw that the resort is labeled as "all inclusive" but only saw the breakfast buffet as being included with our room purchase, which was ok since we were just using the hotel as a stop over for flying out of Liberia the next morning. So I was surprised when we checked in that they are a True All Inclusive with breakfast, lunch, dinner, and bars on property all included in the package! The property is beautiful with two large pools and the most wonderful breeze coming up from the ocean! This was very welcomed after 3 weeks in Nosara which is far less breezy and far more dusty which makes it a bit harder to handle the hot weather of the period we visited. The rooms are nice and clean with a nice patio, ours facing the water, which allowed us to sit outside and enjoy the birds and the weather with a drink in our hand! Our only regret is that we didn't realize how nice this property was before booking because we would have liked to take advantage of their amenities for at least 3 or 4 days as we will next time we come to Costa Rica! One guest I talked to even said they snorkeled with turtles near the hotels beach which the extra days will hopefully allow us to see next time. "

Condovac la Costa

8/10 Good

"Our stay at Condovac was very nice for the most part. First off, the staff was very kind and helpful with everything. From the reception to food service and hotel cleanliness, the staff was the best. Maybe due to it being low season, there were just a few things we would have like to have seen more of around the resort itself, like more food choices and activities, especially for kids, but for us the vacation was about relaxing with family and we were able to do just that. Thank you for your hospitality."

CC Beach Front Papagayo All Inclusive

2/10 Terrible

"I am writing to report a significantly misleading and disappointing experience at CC Papagayo, which ultimately caused us to leave the property and transfer to another hotel. The hotel listing advertised multiple amenities and experiences that were either unavailable or materially different from what was represented. Upon arrival, we found that only one of the two advertised restaurants was operational. Additionally, the live music and entertainment promoted in the listing was entirely nonexistent during our stay. The beachfront experience was also substantially misrepresented. The property was advertised as being directly on a desirable beach; however, the actual beach area was rocky/gravel-based and did not resemble the appearance or experience suggested in the listing photos and description. There were also no beach chairs or towels available, which further diminished the advertised beach experience. Another major issue involved the outdoor dining and beach environment. There were numerous large iguanas roaming the property that repeatedly approached and chased guests in attempts to obtain food, creating an uncomfortable and, at times, intimidating experience that negatively affected our ability to comfortably enjoy the premises. Additionally, the overall atmosphere and amenities available onsite were far below expectations based on the listing, price, and marketing materials. The combination of unavailable amenities, misleading representations regarding the beach and"
