Occidental Tamarindo - All Inclusive
6/10 Okay
"The property is older but very nice. It was nice and quiet and not really a party place. Just wish they had more activities to do and the biggest let down was the location of the beachfront. Not very nice looking but in town the beach was amazing. The restaurant was decent not spectacular. I just found the staff mot very attentive almost had to always go to them for something especially at dinner. Very rarely checking up on you or filling your water or offer drinks. Did I hate it? No but I didnt exactly love it. Probably won't stay again"
Hotel Riu Palace Costa Rica - All Inclusive
2/10 Terrible
"DO NOT EVER STAY HERE. My wife and I recently stayed here and due to our flights being late we missed our first night at the resort. When we arrived the second day we asked about a refund for the first night. The resort assured us we would get a refund just to call Expedia and the resort would approve a 1 night refund. We called Expedia when we arrived home and Expedia contacted the resort to get a refund issued. The resort changed the date and time we checked in to the correct date and time instead of a day late and lied to Expedia saying they didn’t know what we were talking about that we had our full stay. On top of then lying to scam us out of the buffet the resort was dirty overall the rooms were dirty and we saw several cockroaches in the buffet area and hallways. The food on the resort was so so but nothing to rave about and the resort’s location is inconvenient because it’s in the middle of nowhere. We will never be staying here again."
Occidental Papagayo - Adults Only - All inclusive
10/10 Excellent
"Very nice resort! Beautiful views, great food, good drinks! The beach was are favorite part. Only negative thing I can say is the towel service. Everyday we would go out and come back in the afternoon to shower and get ready for dinner. Are room would be clean, but we would have no towels to shower with. We would call the front for towels everyday sometimes twice. And we would be told they be there in 5min but was more like an hr or more before they would arrive. They should really replace the towels at the same time the room is cleaned. Either than that we had a great trip and would definitely return in the future."

Hotel Bosque del Mar, Playa Hermosa
10/10 Excellent
"This was such a great place, the views and staff were amazing! It was awesome staying right off the beach. The beach was beautiful and not overcrowded. We could walk down the beach to different restaurants. We caught a sail boat ride that picked us up from the beach. The hotel staff coordinated it all. Would definitely go back to this hotel!!"
Wyndham Tamarindo
10/10 Excellent
"This hotel has some of the best views we’ve ever experienced. The infinity pool is absolutely stunning, the grounds are spotless and beautifully maintained, and the wildlife around the property made the stay even more special. We heard howler monkeys in the trees both front and back, saw green macaws flying overhead daily, and plenty of other tropical birds throughout our stay. The service was excellent from start to finish. Check-in was friendly and welcoming, and the breakfast staff were always kind and attentive. The rooms were well equipped with shampoo, conditioner, body wash, a hairdryer, and a mini fridge/mini bar. We never had an issue finding loungers by the pool, and the sunsets from both the balcony and infinity pool were absolutely incredible. There is also a pool bar serving a great assortment of blended drinks, local beers, craft beers, and hard liquor available for an additional charge — perfect for relaxing by the pool and enjoying the view. Breakfast was good overall and fairly consistent each day. They served scrambled eggs, coffee, juices, yogurt, cereal, fresh fruit, and pastries and of course gallo pinto. The hotel shuttle was a great perk, running hourly from 9am–9pm to downtown Tamarindo and the Langosta Beach Club. We often walked into town, but the hills on the way back can definitely be a workout in the heat. The Langosta Beach Club was another huge highlight and an amazing included amenity. It’s right on the beach with a beautiful pool."
