"Un lugar sin privacidad. La parte frontal de la habitación es de vidrio( Sucios) lo que expone a los huéspedes a la mirada en todo momento de cualquier persona. Durante nuestra estancia habían trabajadores que acentúaban aún más este problema. Además, mantenían música y conversaciones a alto volumen. Parquear es todo un reto, especialmente con un coche grande y con otros coches en el parqueo. Para salir de la propiedad hay que bajar del coche y digitar un código, lo cual me parece una...

Hampton By Hilton Guanacaste Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Great amenities. Close to the airport with free shuttle and bfast included. Couldnt ask for more."

Occidental Papagayo - Adults Only - All inclusive

8/10 Good

"Overall, the resort itself is beautiful, the grounds are well maintained, and the food I had during the day was very good. There is definitely potential for a great vacation here, but my experience as a solo traveler was mixed. The staff were generally friendly, although I noticed the level of service often improved once they realized you were tipping. My biggest disappointment was the room assignment. I was told that because of the resort’s relationship with Travelocity, I would receive an amazing room. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case. I was placed in one of the furthest buildings (rooms 12–17), far from the restaurants, pools, beach, and entertainment. The area was dark and isolated, which felt unsafe as a woman traveling alone. I would have expected solo travelers to be placed in a more central location. The wildlife was another major issue. Raccoons actually entered my room and took food that the resort had left on the table. It seemed like they were accustomed to entering guest rooms, and throughout the night I could hear raccoons and monkeys outside trying the door. It made me uncomfortable enough that I avoided going out after dark, which meant I missed the evening dining and entertainment I had paid for. I also booked an expensive fishing excursion through the tour company on-site and was very disappointed. I didn’t feel the experience was worth the cost, and as a woman traveling alone, I felt like I wasn’t given the same effort or attention I expected."

8/10 Good

"Great staff, amenities and quality. There are 3 restaurants but food options are limited overall, would have anticipated a wider menu. Also, the beach area is not safe, flipflops, hats and sunglasses get stolen regularly. There are jellyfish in the sea so beware."

Hotel Bosque del Mar, Playa Hermosa

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed here for two nights and we really enjoyed our stay. The property is very well maintained and the rooms are well appointed. The beach is very safe and the water is shallow for a long time. Great spot for kids to play in the sand and water. The best thing about this experience was the staff - they were very helpful and went above and beyond in almost every interaction. Great property super close to Liberia airport."
