Top Guanacaste Hotel Reviews

The Westin Reserva Conchal, an All-Inclusive Golf Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"We had an amazing time at the hotel and the staff was very friendly and professional"

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

8/10 Good

"Overall, we had a really fun stay! I wouldn’t say it was the best resort I’ve stayed at, but the views were absolutely incredible and the staff were honestly amazing. Everyone was so friendly and helpful, and even the other guests were SO nice and welcoming. We met some really cool people, which made the whole experience even better. One of my favourite parts was seeing monkeys right on the beach 🐒🌴 such a cool experience! There was so much nature around the resort, and I loved the fun atmosphere, entertainment and nightly shows. There was always something going on. That being said, there were definitely a few things that could’ve been better. The resort is VERY hilly, so getting around could be a bit of a struggle, especially when you had to wait for a shuttle. Sometimes the shuttles took quite a while to pick you up or get you where you needed to go. The food was pretty average, and the swim-up bar could get frustrating. There were times when there was only one bartender working when they clearly needed more, and we waited up to 20 minutes for drinks. Overall, it’s a beautiful resort with amazing views, incredible staff, friendly people, lots of nature and a really fun vibe. I genuinely enjoyed my trip, but with the food, transportation and bar service, I’d give it a 7/10 ⭐️"

Hampton By Hilton Guanacaste Airport

10/10 Excellent

"It was my best stay ever at a Hampton - the room was clean, modern and perfect. The staff at the front desk were helpful and welcoming. The food at the restaurant was expensive and forgettable for what it was, but the great thing is there’s several options within close walking distance. The complementary shuttle was fantastic. If you’re looking between this and the Hilton Garden Inn - this is a winner!"
