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

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

10/10 Excellent
"We stayed at Planet Hollywood Costa Rica for six days during the first week of June 2026, and our experience was outstanding from start to finish. The resort is beautiful, the food was excellent, and the staff consistently went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and cared for throughout our stay. Every interaction was warm, professional, and genuine. We would especially like to recognize Christian, “The Godfather,” and Diana, “Wonder Woman,” for making our vacation truly memorable. Their exceptional service, positive attitudes, and attention to detail made a lasting impression on us. They are a tremendous asset to the resort. Thank you to the entire Planet Hollywood team for an amazing vacation. We had a fantastic time and will definitely be back!"
