Top Playa Blanca Hotel Reviews
Nekajui Peninsula Papagayo, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve
10/10 Excellent
"Our stay at Nekajui, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve, was truly exceptional. The resort is spectacular, with breathtaking views, beautifully designed facilities and an incredible sense of privacy and tranquillity. The facilities are outstanding. The **gym is amazing**, while the **spa and hydrotherapy pools are truly sensational** — perfect for relaxing and recharging. What really sets Nekajui apart, however, is its people. The staff were passionate, professional, warm and exceptionally courteous. Pablo, Samuel and the wider team went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed and genuinely cared for. Their attention to detail and pride in what they do made our stay particularly memorable. The restaurants were very good, with food consistently prepared to a high standard. As a new resort on the peninsula, there is still some opportunity to further develop the dining offering, and many residents understandably choose to explore some of the more established eateries nearby. That said, when dining at the resort, the quality of the food is excellent, and with a little further refinement, the restaurants have the potential to be truly exceptional. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and are immensely grateful to the entire Nekajui team for their incredible hospitality. The combination of the setting, facilities and, most importantly, the people makes Nekajui a very special place. We would happily return and highly recommend Nekajui."
Hotel Riu Guanacaste - All Inclusive
8/10 Good
"We stayed here for the first time in Costa Rica ! It was a short drive through the (about 30-40mins) to get here from Liberia airport. I recommend to book your transportation prior to your trip. The hotel was beautiful !! Lots of pools, food options and entertainment. The staff was also friendly. There is also a Waterpark in the property for the little ones with slides and sprinklers. We had an overall pleasant experience here, but coming with small children I do have some suggestions that could make the experience even better. Rooms had multiple doors which were easy to open even when locked (not child safe). I would suggest the hotel has family rooms with child safety locks to prevent any accidents while on vacation. Also rooms with families should be cleaned daily. We changed our children dirty diapers and they would be there for the whole day (sometimes more than a day). Even if we left for the day to eat or enjoy the pool, when we would return the garbage would still be there. Maybe they are short staff but this could improve. Also"
Planet Hollywood Costa Rica by Royalton, An Autograph Collection All-Inclusive Resort
8/10 Good
"Overall planet Hollywood is a chill resort. There isn’t much to do after 7pm. The pools and bars close early. If you want something off the grid ish and just want to relax then it it’s ok for the price. Food was just ok, many of the restaurants use a lot of salt. Staff is very friendly. "
Occidental Papagayo - Adults Only - All inclusive

El Mangroove Papagayo, Autograph Collection
10/10 Excellent
"El Mangoove was wonderful....beautiful property, lovely room, great restaurants. The staff were really superb. I would most definitely stay there again and have already recommended it to others."
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."
Nandel Beach Resort
10/10 Excellent
"The service and staff were amazing. This is our third visit and we will be back. The restaurant had great food and the portions are huge. It would be nice if the trash on the beach was cleaned up, There are so many different beach option in the surrounding areas."
Papagayo Golden Palms Beachfront Hotel
10/10 Excellent
"Staff was absolutely amazing! The restaurant located in this resort is phenomenal. It really was a treat for us to stay here."
