Hotel Boyeros

4/10 Poor

"Decent"

Hilton Garden Inn Guanacaste Airport

6/10 Okay

"The restaurant was good for dinner, not a la carte breakfast which was so-so and overpriced. There were things advertised for that were not available like all day coffee and tea; room service; inability to bill your room for food in the restaurant. The gift shops were great. The room could have been better. There was no microwave nor an amoir to hang coats and put away clothes. Rewards amount wasn't given or clear. The concierge was helpful in recommending other tours that her company couldn't provide and the people were super friendly."

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

4/10 Poor

"El piso del cuarto estaba sucio, el hotel está descuidado y sin mantenimiento. El área de piscina está sucia, resbaloso y manchado. Las camas del área de piscina están manchadas y sucias."

Villas Sol Beach Resort

6/10 Okay

"Waited a while before actually leaving a review because i wanted to be as honest as possible without being biased. First and foremost the property is huge and well maintained. The property was boring, i don’t know if it was because of the season but it was absolutely boring nothing to do at all. By the 2nd night i was over it. The views are beautiful and my kids enjoyed the pool. Love going to the beach. The food was absolutely horrible. Minimal variety at the buffet and i was literally starving every day. I stayed 5nights and payed for the all inclusive package for 2days and i am glad i didn’t pay the whole time because i was left starving after each meal. Most of the times i had to leave property to get a meal because it was a no no at the buffet. I will not say not to purchase The all inclusive package because that would be biased but try it out for a day before going the whole stay if you know what i mean. Wasn’t worth it for me personally. All in all i would rate my experience at a 5/10 and the 5 was for the staff and how great they are. Subtract for food, boredom, etc. all in all i could have stayed 2 nights instead of 5 got the whole experience after 1 day ehhh"

Hotel Bosque del Mar, Playa Hermosa

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was just perfect. The location, friendliness of the staff and locals, clean & beautiful rooms, food at the restaurant is great as well as proximity to other dining options just a short walk down the beach as well as a a couple of convenience stores to get things you may need or forgot to pack. You will not be disappointed."
