Riu Guanacaste: Great resort, great service!

The hotel is big, clean, and has plenty to do. The staff is cordial and the service i good. The restaurants are good, especially if you're not into the typical hamburger/fries/pizzas (though they have some of that too for those uninterested in trying other things) but the best ones are the Italian and the buffet, though the food is not that different between the restaurants.

Riu Palace Costa Rica: beautiful resort - but a couple of issues

The resort was beautiful, well maintained and the food was great. The only downside was that there were no washrooms located around the pools. The closest washroom was in the restaurant by the last pool and had a sign do not use when wet (not that anyone listened). A pool bar and no bathroom grosses me out a bit. Also if you are planning to go to the disco, be aware that it is not all inclusive and expect to pay $7/drink.

The Westin Reserva Conchal Golf Resort & Spa: My Best Summer Vacation

My family and I enjoyed every minute we spent at the Westin. The staff was friendly and very helpful. Verny from the Swiss Travel made us truly feel like part of his family. The hotel amenities were well maintained, equipped, and our every need was met. I have vacationed in more than 15 countries all over the world and the Westin experience and the Costa Rican people top my chart.

Occidental Tamarindo: A great place to stay!

The Hotel was beautiful and very clean! The food was good and staff were very friendly. The beach was a bit rocky but it was very pretty and quiet. We had a great stay and enjoyed every minute! There wasn't as much to do at night which was the only downside.

Riu Guanacaste: Yes it is a wonderful resort, I would stay there a

Riu Guanacaste: Great relaxing resort

Great hotel! Staff and Ticos are amazing people! Very friendly and accommodating. I like the location for being a little remote, only 2 resorts on beach. Peaceful, exotic, and beautiful location. Very clean and well kept full of natural beauty!

Riu Guanacaste: Riu Guanacaste

My experience with the Riu as a first time trip is WOW. From the arrival to the resort the experience was excellent.You are greeted by the staff who are friendly and knowledgeable with a welcoming drink. From check in to check out you have no worries as someone is there to assist. The resort is beautiful, the grounds with flowers, trees are well maintained, The pool area is large and you are able to relax and enjoy. The restaurants and bars are also very good. With four restaurants to choose fro [... read more]m you do not have to go hungry. Rooms are comfortable and clean. The amenities on the resort provide additional things to do. The gym, spa disco and casino are there for your use. All in all the stay was excellent. I would recommend the Rui to any one.

Beach Break Resort: gorgeous beach,beautiful sunsets.

The food was good, great variety. The room was small and could be up a dated,but who stays in there other than to sleep. Walking distance into town felt very safe during the day. Fabulous restaurant just outside the resort across the street.

Allegro Papagayo by Occidental: very nice resort

clean and good customer service the rooms are adequate,the pool is very nice,the staff very helpful.Loved the monkeys,had two great side trips zip lining and river cruise.Cant say enough about the perfect weather,outstanding.

Allegro Papagayo by Occidental: Worth the money

Good views, nice staff, lots to do! Rooms could use a little updating, but all in all, I would go back over and over. It never gets old watching all the monkeys on the beach, histarical! Lots of great excursions as well!

Riu Guanacaste: Best resort ever

The hotel was extremely clean. The food was amazing from the am to the pm, the choices never seen anything like it, they must be preparing food 24/7 you will not be disappointed staff exceptional and extremely friendly. The only negative thing are the towels, not best quality could be softer, the beach towels were clean but had mildew stains on them. Will defiantly go back.

Riu Guanacaste: The Best Ever

We were celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary so decide to go to a Riu resort because I had heard great thing about them. The resort was the best ever. For example one morning I walked into my room to see the cleaning staff had pulled out the bed and were washing the wall behind the bed along with headboard and under the bed.They did so with smiles on their faces and in no time at all.There is no question that cleanliness is top priority. The food was fabulous even the buffet felt like you at [... read more] a gourmet restaurant. The entertainment had many people settle at the end of the day with fun and giggles. The activities during the day especially around the pool left nobody bored. I tell everyone who's looking to vacation about the Riu because I know they will not be disappointed.

Allegro Papagayo by Occidental: This was a great place I enjoyed it there

It is not a five star hotel but is plenty of enjoyable time can be spent here .. Food was good staff was very nice . Felt safe all the time here . I would come back . Could use some more convenient ways to Coco or other places. It costs large to get off the resort .. Make sure you have your snacks and stuff packed not much to buy there. But it was a great place for a great deal.

Riu Palace Costa Rica: Perfect holiday lication

A beautiful resort with great weather and wonderful people. Never better. Food was great drinks were well done and served continually. Trips to the cloud forest were long but beautiful. Love Costa Rica. We will defiantly go back to the palace

Occidental Papagayo: Great spot!

Lots of restaurant choices and plenty of things to do. Although hilly, the cart was always available to pick up and drop off at the beach or where you needed to go. Only issue was that more bottled water would have been nice.

Fiesta Resort: 3rd time here

I like the area because it's close to activities. My room was OK, the seafood restaurant is definitely a better choice for a la carte. I suggest that Double trees please make some updates to the rooms and food. The area is really struggling for tourism and a need to bring tourists back to this area is crutial. Our local tour operators are suffering as well with the decline in tourists.

Allegro Papagayo by Occidental: Loved it, would go back again

Happy staff made for happy guest. Christian, Marilyn, Christopher all made for great entertainment.the dancers etc took other jobs at the resort amazingly.Good food, drinks and service I would return there. The servers were attentive, friendly understood basic English that really helped.

Allegro Papagayo by Occidental: Great vacation with my daughters

Apart from the beach, everything else was excellent. The food was good, the rooms were clean, the pool was great and the weather was perfect. Thanks to every employees for making it a great vacation, especially to Marilyne & Christian for their entertainment and Jimmy & Johnny for their excellent service.

Occidental Papagayo: great place

We stayed at the occidental for one week. I need wheelchair access and the people were very helpful and went out of their way to help. The only complaint I have is that the air Canada representative was not helpful when I put in for a lost back belt that the airline had lost when I was inflight.

Riu Palace Costa Rica: Perfect (except for the wafts of raw sewage)!

The food, service, staff, beach, excursions and facility were all perfect. If it weren't for the frequent wafts of raw sewage on the north end of the building and grounds it would have been flawless! The hotel has ample lounge chairs and beach space. No need to put towels on lounge chairs on the beach at sunrise. We were told the hotel booked to 95% of capacity. It felt like 50%.m
