Top Guanacaste Hotel Reviews

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

8/10 Good

"This resort was very nice, the staff was very attentive. I enjoyed the location and the amenities of this resort. "

Hotel Riu Guanacaste - All Inclusive

6/10 Okay

"You get what you pay for. Solid 3 star hotel. Food wasn’t great or bad. If your kids can survive on hamburgers, hotdogs, and chicken nuggets, this resort shouldn’t be an issue. Our room was dirty at check-in, the toilet water had an awful smell (all rooms), and the pool waters didn’t feel clean. Tried to use the hotel credits for golf (main reason we booked this hotel), and they are very misleading with advertising. I’ve stayed at other RIU resorts and this place isn’t in my top choices for future return."

Hotel Riu Palace Costa Rica - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"The RIU Palace is a great destination for travelers who want the access to Costa Rica without the hassle of having to rent their own car, look for places to eat and excursions. Pros: the food was surprisingly delicious for an all-inclusive, the drinks (as a non-drinker) were also good, the massages at the spa (shout out Hazel) were reasonably priced and amazing! The coffee shop was working overtime! The coffee was to die for! And the mountain views were stunning. Importantly, it is 5 minutes from Diamante Eco Park. The hotel has vans that depart every 30 mins so it was great. Cons: it was incredibly hot, not the hotel’s fault, just something to note. Guanacaste is an arid area so hotter than other parts of the country. The hotel has a 2000’s look. It is definitely older and it shows. The AC was not super cold, some light fixtures were not working and my shower did not fully drain. The beach was not blue (to be expected given the volcanic sand) but it was not clean either. There were some fruit and garbage scattered throughout. Lastly, LAR is a transportation company located inside the hotel, that took us to Coco Beach. That area was not what we were told AT ALL and when we called for them to pick us up they told us to wait an hour and a half for the next van. In conclusion, if you want a taste of Costa Rica but you don’t want the “three hour hike” version, do RIU. You’ll have food, great coffee, amazing views, and you can go to the park for a taste of nature."

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

10/10 Excellent

"The Westin Reserva Conchal delivered an unforgettable Costa Rica experience. The resort is absolutely beautiful — lush grounds, a stunning pool, and easy access to a pristine beach that feels both peaceful and energizing. Every part of the property is designed to make you slow down and enjoy where you are. The food was excellent, with plenty of variety and consistently high quality across every restaurant. Whether it was breakfast, a casual lunch, or dinner at one of the specialty spots, everything felt fresh and thoughtfully prepared. The amenities were just as impressive, offering the perfect mix of relaxation and activities. What truly sets this resort apart is the staff. Every interaction was warm, genuine, and attentive. They go out of their way to make you feel welcome, and it shows in the small details throughout the stay. Overall, the Westin Reserva Conchal is a standout destination; beautiful, comfortable, and exceptionally well‑run. I’d return without hesitation."
