CC Beach Front Papagayo All Inclusive

8/10 Good

"This place was very quiet. No one was in the pool. Only two other couples in the dining room at any time. Food was good. Bed was comfy."

Hotel Tamarindo Diria Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Many options to choose from at breakfast and some different hot foods on different days. Beautiful property. Water pressure was not great in the shower, but the room was very nice otherwise. Beautiful ocean view and gorgeous sunsets from the outdoor sitting area."

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

10/10 Excellent

"Everyone was so friendly and helpful, our room and the resort were always clean, the food was amazing. There was so much to do and the beach and pools were beautiful. Our only issue was our soaking tub in our room did not have warm/hot water, but I’m sure if we mentioned it they definitely would have accommodated us. 10/10 experience definitely will be back!"

Tortuga Verde Glamping

8/10 Good

"The place is pretty cool! A unique stay. Definitely not a great place if you are planning on working since their WiFi is not the best. They do have a small coworking space but the lighting is kinda bad and bad WiFi as well. Aside from that, everything was great! The plunge pool was nice, the rooms nice and clean, and breakfast was small but good."

Andaz Peninsula Papagayo Resort, Costa Rica, by Hyatt

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel will ruin all other hotels for you. The staff was incredible, the grounds were immaculate, the room was amazing, the wildlife and beach on property were unreal. Seriously, if you stay here, there’s no going back to mediocre hotels. You’ve been warned. We’re 100% going back. My wife literally cried when we were leaving."

Tranquil 3 Bed 3 Bath Beach House Steps from the Quaint Playa Ocotal Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Took a family vacation and loved our time here. Host and concierge were very responsive and helpful. Location was near a great clean beach, amenities of the house were as listed and all that we needed. Would definitely stay again."
