"We had a horrible experience before coming to this place so we were extraordinarily happy to find a clean location. This place is brand new so it’s very clean and wonderful. The only thing I would say is that if you’re planning a big visit to Tamarindo stay at this place in 2027 and check that the construction is finished. They are currently building a club and pool area on the beach across from the rooms that we stayed at. If you stay before 2027 and you want a pool, they are offering for you...

Condovac la Costa

10/10 Excellent

"Great place amazing people love the food"

Hotel Riu Palace Costa Rica - All Inclusive

8/10 Good

"The Rui Palace was a nice place to visit. Visit Week of July 6th 2026. Pros: -Great staff, very friendly -Daily room cleaning -Room was available 1 hour early -Beautiful pool area -Nice nightly shows/bands -Tasty snacks in the lobby, bar area Cons: -Dated interior -Rooms had a humid, light moldy smell but was tolerable -Food was average at best, first come first serve, so although we stayed for a week, we missed one restaurant due to capacity -Occasionally in the early morning, had a slight sewage smell outside near pool area Overall give it 4 out of 5 stars Ella"

Bahia Pez Vela Resort

8/10 Good

"When we arrived to the resort around 4pm af the office had already closed and we were given a packet by the security guard who spoke very little English. We were hoping to speak to someone when we arrived to confirm all of our excursions for the next day. We also rented a golf cart and it was supposed to be there when we arrived and it was not. We also walked into our condo and the ac was broke. Due to the office being closed we had no way of contacting someone so we had to go down to the restaurant for them to contact someone for us. They did end up sending someone out but our condo never cooled down until the next day. The condo was very dated and our beds were hard as a rock. The resort itself is beautiful and the private beach is very nice. The on site restaurant was our favorite, the food was delicious but it always took forever to get our food even if we were the only ones there eating. The resort location is nice but it’s about 21 min to town and the area you have to drive through to get to town is very sketchy!!! We were also not impressed with the town. If we ever come back to Coasta Rica we will definitely stay in a different town!!"

Hotel Tamarindo Diria Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel situé direct en face de la plage. Notre chambre était situé l’autre côté de la rue mais la grosse piscine avec bar était situé là aussi et à côté de notre chambre. Les déjeuners sont excellents et vue direct sur l’eau en mangeant. Toute la famille a adoré."

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

8/10 Good

"Everything was amazing and the staff was excellent! It was a little hard to get in touch with nexuss and get our ride home times changed. Making dinner reservations or breakfast room service wasn’t the easiest with the app. but you could contact the front desk for help."

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

10/10 Excellent

"This property was incredible. The staff were friendly and incredibly attentive. Excursions were fun. Our only negative was the food. Breakfast was perfect every morning at the market but the remaining meals were fair at best."
