Top Santa Elena Hotel Reviews

Buena Vista del Rincon Eco Adventure Park, Hotel & Spa

8/10 Good

"There is a lot to do at this resort. Our room was clean, fine/basic, with no air conditioning. It included a good breakfast and hot springs. There were many restaurants on the property, but only two were open. Mirador, which had a beautiful view and plenty of seating. It had good food, but was expensive. The other restaurant was a $30 buffet. The resort is in a remote location, so there are no other dining options within an hour. There are many fun activities to do at a cost. It's cheaper to group your activities in one day and order online. We had a wonderful two-day stay, but it was expensive overall for the stay, dining, and activities. Definitely take advantage of the hot springs and free eco farm. Victor went out of his way during all of our dining experiences to make us feel special. He was the most friendly and helpful employee."

CC Beach Front Papagayo All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"We have to say that the staff was excellent, friendly and very helpful. The room was very clean. I would say maybe look into more night life activities for guest to enjoy. But over all everything was great, and the food was delicious. Over all we had a wonderful time."

Villas Sol Beach Resort

8/10 Good

"We stayed in a very simple villa room with a double bed and pullout couch. The resort is very helpful in getting you picked up from way up on the hill with their truck pick ups that run every 15 minutes. The resort also provides transportation directly to the beach. The beach was very nice and secluded, with several restaurants to choose from. Only drawback. Might be that the pick ups don’t run exactly on time, and we chose to walk up and down the resort a few times."

Four Seasons Resort Peninsula Papagayo, Costa Rica

10/10 Excellent

"The staff at this property was over the top accommodating. Attentive to all our needs, friendly and it felt like they knew us personally. The property was beautiful and well kept. Pool and Beach chairs had fresh towels on them every day."

Borinquen Thermal Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Excelente experiencia. Los beneficios ofrecidos por Expedia fueron cumplidos sin inconvenientes, detalles que hicieron nuestra estancia aún más especial. Todo el hotel se mantuvo impecable y un aspecto que realmente marcó la diferencia fue que la limpieza de la habitación se realizó todos los días, lo cual suma muchos puntos y demuestra el compromiso del personal con la comodidad de los huéspedes. El personal en general fue muy amable y atento. Desayunos abundantes y con variedad. Las cenas extraordinarias; las carnes estaban perfectamente preparadas y el ceviche y olla de carne, de los mejores que hemos probado. Otro de los aspectos más destacados de nuestra estancia, el señor Natividad, quien nos acompañó en el tour a caballo. Fue muy gentil, profesional y atento, haciendo que esa experiencia fuera aún más agradable e inolvidable. Sin duda, volveríamos a hospedarnos aquí y lo recomendamos totalmente."
