"I really loved my experience at Pupa House, and it really was that perfect accommodation for my tamarindo experience. Incredibly kind and helpful staff, delicious smoothies at their cafe, and a refreshing pool. Staying in a capsule hotel was a fun and new experience, even for someone like me who's a little tall 😂"

"Great stop for an early morning flight. Pool is gorgeous with a waterslide! Yummy dinner—left too early to have breakfast. Front desk arranged a cab for us. Looks a little rough on the outside but it’s a true oasis! Def recommend "
The Westin Reserva Conchal, an All-Inclusive Golf Resort & Spa
8/10 Good
"We just came back from our trip this morning! What a great time we had my only complaint is the way to the beach.. we know is a public beach but staff from the hotel should help maintain the cleanliness on the way from the hotel to the beach.. unfortunately is surrounded by outsiders that are offering their services which I think is a bit too much but is just uncomfortable to walk to the beach with dirty bottles and other stuff . If that’s illegal for these people to offer their business right out of the hotel just keep calling the police so they don’t keep harassing the hotel clients."
"Everything was very clean, the staff were accommodating, and it isn't overrun by guests even though it's busy. There is comfortable space without feeling crowded, which is great when you want to relax.
The entertainment team was terrific; we enjoyed meeting and getting to know a lot of them. They all work hard there to make sure your stay is enjoyable.
I would highly recommend this resort for those looking for something a little more secluded, with relaxation being the main reason. It is not one of those huge all-inclusive resorts where it takes you forever to get from one end to another and has a bazillion activities. Look elsewhere for that."
"The Palace is outdated, the decor of the rooms and the lobby is awful. Renovation is scheduled for August. The grounds are well maintained, pool area clean and the restaurants are kept clean. The workers are all very friendly and there to make the guests very comfortable. Servers and bartenders are helpful and nice. Entertainment staff is great, energetic and fun.
We did a river cruise, which was fun. We saw a lot of alligators and monkeys, although we saw more monkeys next to the hotel. Take a stroll to the left on the beach to where the sign for the Monkey bar is. Walk into the jungle, there are a lot of white faced monkeys there.
We wanted to go snorkeling, they try to sell you the catamaran cruise, includes alcohol and fruit, but who needs that when you're staying at an all inclusive? We ended up on a 3 hour snorkeling tour, but visibility was bad.
Overall, the hotel is comfortable, the food incredible and lots of fun for no longer than a week."
"The pools were nice and not overly crowded, most staff were decent, although they were severely understaffed which I think caused some of them to be rude.
The towels in the room were old and had a smell to them, the toilet always smelled like the gasket wasn’t installed properly or something.
I’d rate the food quality maybe at like a 2-3 and availability pretty low they ran out of stuff kind of often.
The restaurants were also just buffets and not that great.
A lot of the food wasn’t labelled at all so if you have allergies it’s hard to tell if you can eat some of it.
Lastly everyone on our trip got sick either on the second last day or the last day and a few are still sick at the time of writing this 5 days after leaving.
All in all go somewhere else. "
