Top Cartagena Hotel Reviews

Hotel Tamarindo Diria Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent

"I had a very goos stay at the Tamarindo Diria Beach Resort and would definitely rate the hotel itself five stars. The property has two sections—one directly on the beach and another across the street, which is where I stayed. My room was fantastic, with high ceilings, a jacuzzi on the balcony, and a very quiet and relaxing atmosphere. The location is excellent and reminded me a little of Aruba in the sense that you can walk in almost any direction for a quarter mile or so and find shops, restaurants, and plenty of dining options. There is also a local church not too far away, which was nice to visit. The food in the area was a little hit or miss. While walking around, I was occasionally approached by people trying to sell things or even offering drugs, so certain parts of the surrounding area could feel a little sketchy at times. That being said, the hotel grounds themselves felt very safe, secure, and well monitored. The guests and many of the people around the property were extremely friendly. Some of the staff, however, didn’t always seem to fully embrace the warm “Pura Vida” spirit I expected. The hotel is about an hour from the airport, and the drive was a little tough in both directions. Still, considering the roughly four-and-a-half-hour flight, the overall trip was well worth it. The breakfast was very good also and not expensive if it wasn’t included in your package. A beautiful property, a fantastic room, and a great Costa Rica experience overall."

Condovac la Costa

8/10 Good

"I stayed one night at Condovac and honestly wished it had been longer! The resort was clean and exactly as advertised. It never felt overcrowded, even at the pools and lounge areas—which were open until midnight (although towel service wasn’t available that late). The rooms were spacious and comfortable. One of the AC units didn’t seem to cool as much as expected, but overall the stay was still very comfortable. No WiFi in rooms is a bummer. Beach access was a highlight—clean and easy to get to. Kayaks are available starting at 9am, and there were a few local vendors nearby selling treats like snow cones and handmade artisan items, which added a nice local touch. I really appreciated the continuous shuttle service around the property—it made getting up and down the hill effortless. The pools were warm and well-maintained. The food was delicious and had a home-cooked feel. Dinner included options like rice, pasta, potato wedges, vegetables, and chicken or fish. Breakfast offered traditional rice and beans, sweet plantains, eggs, pancakes, salami, fruit, and cereal. Lunch featured arroz con pollo, white rice, ribs, and salad. And the tres leches dessert was amazing! Coffee was always available, and alcoholic drinks were included—shoutout to the friendly bartender who made a caipirinha so good I wanted another! The only downside was the shuttle. Pickup from the airport is free, but return is not. It also isn’t 24hr (available from 7am–10pm). Paid $80 one way"

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

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was amazing. Lots of walking but shuttles were available. The breakfast was delicious lots of choices. The speciality restaurants were good too. Had no issues with getting reservations."

Margaritaville Beach Resort Playa Flamingo

8/10 Good

"The pool was a major win and we watched it being vacuumed every morning and continuously skimmed throughout the day with nets. The atmosphere is nice and it's just steps away from the beach. Rent a boogie board and spend a few hours playing in the waves. It's super fun! There are amenities for young children that we really didn't learn about before we went. They had an activity center for children and a fun game room. Check them out! For feedback, it would be great to have attendants take orders from around the pool area. It would just be a plus. Also, we got a bit tired of feeling like we were eating bar food. On the plus side, it helped us to leave the property and explore some local food options."

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."

Occidental Tamarindo - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"The location and amenities were top notch. The beach directly in front has volcanic rock but there is sandy beach during low tide on the left side. The waves are amazing and there are surfers to watch all day. The only complaint is the lineups. With only one Buffett and two bars and one small snack bar for all of the rooms at the hotel it made for long lineups for food."
