Top Guanacaste Hotel Reviews

Hotel Riu Guanacaste - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean resort. Friendly and helpful staff. Great pool and nice beach. Tasty food, lots of varieties. Awesome entertainment"

Margaritaville Beach Resort Playa Flamingo

10/10 Excellent

"Margaritaville on Playa de Flamingo was great! Great food, drinks (try the Green Monster), comfortable room, local entertainment, walk to a beautiful beach, large pool, pool tables inside, local craft fairs, sunsets, short walk to shopping, restaurants, harbor, sailing, snorkeling, surfing, diving. Plan to stay put on Weekend Sunsets as the small dirt road get crowded with guests and locals. Enjoy you stay."

CC Beach Front Papagayo All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"This place is a little slice of heaven. Me and my husband absolutely fell in love with this place. From the amazing staff to the incredible food this place is the way to go. It’s more relaxed, family oriented. Perfect place to go and enjoy the beach in peace. The beach is just a very small walk from your room. We are already planning another visit in the future. We didn’t know what to expect our first time in Costa Rica but this place has got you covered. I’ll give Freddy’s Experiences a good shout out. They will get you into an amazing excursion. So don't worry about booking something till you get there. Love this place."
