Hotels with Jacuzzi in Room in Playa Hermosa

Beautiful hotel, room was GORGEOUS, food was amazing. Big TV with great selection of channels and a Bose sound system. Two beaches on each side of the peninsula one with sunrise view one with sunset, both with great food/drink service and less than 2 minute walk from the room. Service was impeccable, the last day we ordered room service and had breakfast on our balcony (which was beautiful with a sunset view). Golf course was also amazing and definitely worth it. Tonnes of wildlife. Great service by all the staff, super friendly. Even the (very few) locals selling little souvenirs on the beach were incredibly friendly and not pushy at all. Loved our stay, can’t wait to come back. 100/10

This is a truly spectacular resort with two amazing beaches. Everyone was so friendly -- the reception, the concierge, the restaurant & beach staff, golf cart drivers...they go above and beyond to make you feel like a valued guest. We saw several reef sharks as soon as we started snorkeling at Blanca Beach and soooo many colorful fish. We stayed in one of the canopy suites, and our driver David pointed out a family of howler monkeys relaxing in the tree outside our bungalow. We stopped and took a ton of photos of these beautiful & intelligent creatures. The tacos at La Bahia restaurant (fish + carne asada) were so good we had them 3 days in a row! We've been lucky to stay at a handful of Four Seasons properties around the world, and this one was definitely one of the best. Muchas gracias!

My husband and I were married at the Four Seasons at Disney in Orlando April 2015 so we had high expectations for the Four Seasons Costa Rica and we were not disappointed!! I mentioned on our reservation through Expedia that this was our first wedding anniversary trip and we received champagne and chocolate covered roses in our room upon arrival, champagne at lunch when our waiter just so happened to ask if we were there for a special occasion and champagne at dinner later that night as it was our actual wedding anniversary date. The food in all restaurants that we tried was excellente and delicioso!! Service was impeccable and it was the same feeling like we had in Orlando with the reply being " it was my pleasure" from anyone that assisted us. I was able to work on my Spanish while there. The scenery is beautiful and sitting on the high peninsula provided extraordinary views throughout our stay. Paddleboarding, kayaking and snorkeling are all available. There are plenty of free activities included. We tried to do the kayak at sunset but it got to be too windy and the waves were too high so we could not go as it was not safe. We signed up for others but found that we were enjoying relaxing too much to even get up. We also did the canopy tour which was frightening at the beginning but once I calmed down I really enjoyed the views of the ocean and forrest. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and really hated to leave.

The Four Seasons at Peninsula Papagayo is wonderful. The grounds are lovely, the service is superb. There are two beaches, one quiet, and one for activities. There are activities scheduled for kids and adults throughout the day. There is a hiking trail on the property. We saw raccoons, white-faced monkeys, and many birds. It's pretty strenuous, many steps, but we enjoyed it very much. We enjoyed the Bahia restaurant for breakfast and dinner, and Anejo, the tapas bar. Prices are in line with other Four Seasons resorts, maybe a bit higher. Meals and service were excellent. Our room was large, clean, and comfortable. We look forward to our next stay

The staff was consistently friendly and helpful without ever being intrusive. The considerable property is meticulously maintained and offers whatever you might be looking for in a vacation, be that relaxing in premium comfort on one of two beautiful beaches or , walking, hiking, snorkeling, kayaking, bikeing , paddle boarding or attending various cultural offerings , are included. The rooms were elegant, and comfortable w/ a nice welcome “ dessert” and chips with coffee and tea refreshed daily along with bottled water. We felt pampered and refreshed to return to the frozen tundra of Wisconsin!

Seven family members stayed at the RIU Palace Guanacaste. Three of us had birthdays and the rooms were updated and decorated. We had a Junior suite that was had alcohol dispensers, a fridge with drinks, a mini jacuzzi and king bed with a lovely veranda overlooking the pool and partial view of the ocean. Overall the room was clean and well kept. The resort is absolutely beautiful and the view was amazing. The shows were great, top shelf liquor and multiple restaurants. We enjoyed the Italian restaurant and the buffet restaurant the most-great selection of food, fruits and drinks. This was our first time at a RIU resort and we all absolutely loved it. We were able to do some side tours for horseback riding, ziplining, white water rafting , water tubing and thermal pool. We also visited Tamarindo and some of the surrounding areas had had amazing seafood in Tamarindo. Overall 10/10-best birthday ever. Thank you RIU

Food in the Buffet was BORING and UN-INSPIRED ! Visitors would welcome cuisine and food preparations of Costa Rican culture, along with the North American & European fare that was the ONLY cuisine offered ! There was blackness on the grout lines of the shower stall tiles! There was blackness on the grout lines of the corridor floor tiles! Mopping alone will not cure this problem of dirty grout lines ! Water in the jacuzzi in the Renova Spa was b-a-r-e-l-y warm ! A great disappointment !! The grounds are beautiful; the pools are inviting. GENERALLY SPEAKING, THE STAFF IS WONDERFUL: FRIENDLY & HOSPITABLE !! The best part of RIU Palace Costa Rica

We loved our stay! The property grounds are beautiful and meticulously kept, our rooms were clean and modern, the Splash Water Park was fun for both our 5 year old son and for the adults, the pools were clean and great for swimming with our son, the beach was clean and beautiful, and the food was AMAZING!! The breakfast buffet was fresh and had so much variety and was SO tasty, and all the restaurants were fantastic in their multi-course meals in taste, quality, quantity, and presentation. The cafe "Capuchino" was AMAZING and had the best desserts and Baileys Iced Coffees. The cocktails at the bar across from the "Capuchino" cafe was SO great at making cocktails! We loved every one! The staff was always so kind and caring and helpful, and we loved interacting with them everyday. The ocean was always at a yellow flag while we were there, so it wasn't safe enough for our 5 year old son to swim in due to strong waves, but for adults, it was great and actually warm! What a great Pacific Ocean beach! The selection of shops in the little street between the two resorts was delightful, and we found wonderful souvenirs in the shops. Overall, we HIGHLY recommend this all-inclusive! This was our second time there (with the first being in 2010 to the neighbour property RIU Guanacaste All-Inclusive), and we are so glad we went back now with our son and definitely want to go back again! Thank you so much for our wonderful week in Costa Rica!

After reading all the reviews on this resort, my son and I still decided to book it. Our time in Costa Rica was meant to spend days of exploring the country with activities away from the resort, so we can get to know the people, and also have restful days that we can enjoy. The resort was very clean the rooms were clean and comfortable. All of the staff are extremely nice. The food was pretty good to us. We never tasted anything bad. They overcooked steak at the buffet was the worst part of the foods. They had tons of food options and theme nights. They had great entertainment at this resort. Besides the buffet, they have four restaurants. My only complaint about this resort is you cannot make reservations unless you want to go and wait in line at 5 PM for a return time, or you’re basically not going to get in. After staying there for eight days and the staff seeing us try, we were able to get some accommodations made to enjoy three of the restaurants. If you’re looking for a place to relax, have the drinks and not worry about the food, enjoy a beautiful beach that also has snorkeling, kayaks, and paddle boards to use and the waterpark; then stay here. We met the most amazing people as well and made our trip so much fun!

This was our first time staying at a Riu property, but it won't be the last. We had a fantastic time. Food and Drinks - Both were plentiful and delicious. There are four themed restaurants and a buffet. The buffet is plentiful and spacious. There are lots of options for everyone, although picky kids may be a little disappointed. The chicken fingers were overcooked, the fries were hit and miss, and the jello was overly gelatinous (more like a jello jiggler). But with hundreds of food items, those were the few rare misses. Staff - super friendly and attentive. Sitting by the pool you will have a new drink pretty much as you finish your last one. We had dozens of interactions, and found each and every person to be friendly, attentive, and actually care about our enjoyment. Cleanliness - Top notch. Constant cleaning. Overall, while Costa Rica was an amazing place to visit, this resort helped make our trip a truly memorable experience. I would absolutely come back!

The place is beautiful, with incredible views of the mountains, total tranquility. Even though it's the rainy season, it's wonderful to enjoy the forest from above, the little birds, the mist over the trees. The staff is amazing, kind, attentive, super friendly, and eager to make sure you have an unforgettable experience. The food at Taru restaurant is marvelous, the wine cellar has an amazing wine selection, and the sommelier takes the time to show you all the options you have. The room had a work area, which was perfect since I had a couple of meetings. The internet never failed. The coffee in the room was perfect, making you feel so comfortable that you don't have to leave. The entire place is designed for you to enjoy, relax, and be worry-free. They pick you up and bring you back from your private suite to the restaurant, pool, or just because...... They genuinely care about you so that, as a guest, you don’t have to worry about anything except relaxing and having a great time.

The Suitree is a little hideaway, a perfect location if you want a few days to relax and enjoy the treetop views from your balcony, relax by one of the pools or enjoy the sunset from the lookout tower. Johnny was the perfect friendly host, making us feel very welcome from the moment we arrived to the moment we left. Our room was very comfortable and we had everything we needed to enjoy our stay there. They had a WhatsApp for messaging and were very quick to answer any questions. You can definitely get a great workout walking up and down those steep hills on the property, luckily there was always a cart available to give you a ride if needed. The food in the Taru restaurant was also great. The mussels and the grilled octopus were delicious. The location is also convenient for getting to the airport.

Amazing Mountain View. Luxury property. Tasty and beautiful restaurant. Very professional staff. Jorge was very helpful and attentive.

Suitree is absolutely exceptional in every sense. This was our first time in Costa Rica and I cannot imagine a more beautiful hotel.to stay in. The architecture is awe-inspiring and each unit beautifully positioned with its own unique special features. We stayed in the Jacaranda unit which had beautiful views over the jungle which meant we could take in both the stunning sunrises and sunsets alike given the wrap around balcony and stunning large windows. We saw so many different birds - including the sweetest hummingbirds - as well as iguanas, lizards, leaf cutter ants and we heard the howler monkeys every day. We cannot praise the staff at the hotel enough! Every single person we met was so welcoming, made us feel like family were super professional, so attentive and so caring. We were genuinely sad to say goodbye. We were on half board and had our meals in Taru. Each was absolutely delicious - as were our out-of-this-world mocktails! The site itself is gorgeous. The gardens are fantastic. We loved the Stone Pools and the Lookout deck. We adored our stay and really do hope we can return one day! Thanks to everyone!

We stayed here for one night on our way back to Liberia and we're so glad we did as it rounded our stay exceptionally well. This place is so peaceful and relaxing. We loved the pool area with the swim up bar. The rooms are clean and comfortable with a seating area outside where you can listen to the monkeys and the birds. Watching the sunset from the viewing area was a big highlight. Shout out to the staff particularly Brandon who were so friendly and welcoming. They are very accommodating with organising transport to and from the hotel. Would love to come back!

We stayed one week. The condo was very roomy. Close to the beach but far from down town. Also there was no jacuzzi or workout room.

This is a lovely little resort. Clean, well maintained and super friendly staff. We stayed in villa 20 which was perfect for the two of us. Beautiful grassy area and nice little patio with a slight view of the ocean. Easy walk to the restaurant and beach although coming back is uphill. Pools were clean and the small bay was quiet. My only complaint ( if you can call it that) is the room amenities. No maid service, no coffee or any condiments needed to cook any food you may have brought. Not a huge deal but considering the restaurant does not open til noon, at least coffee should be provided. There are no ice machines or any typical amenities you might expect. For us, these were minor issues. We absolutely would stay here again!

It was our first time staying at this resort. The home/property that we resided in during our visit was nice and well maintained. The home was very comfortable and surroundings was quiet. The resort itself was clean, safe and well maintained. The resort staff were friendly, welcoming and helpful. The resort restaurant was very good and had many food/drink options. We would definitely like to come to this resort again.

Great Villas at Ocotal Beach/ If you are driving is a plus/ we were driving and there wasn't a problem to find the place with GPS, it's a bit complicated if you are driving from el coco to the villas with a map. The place is great, we were a family of 6 and the Villas has everything you need. View is great, quiet, private beach, Picante restaurant has fresh fish every day. super friendly staff, always willing to assist, they are able to arrange tours, if you like fishing or snorkeling this is the place. Nearest town is el Coco, approx. 10-15 minutes driving, can find supermarkets, restaurant, tours.

This is an outstanding value. Despite coming during March break, the resort was quiet and very relaxing. The unit we stayed in (24) was very clean, modern and in excellent condition. The beach is a sheltered alcove with black sand and pretty rocks to climb around and explore. The water was calm which is great for splashing, relaxing and swimming but not if you are expecting to play in pounding surf. The pool is well maintained with excellent views to the ocean. The food at Picante the restaurant was universally very good - especially the seafood and rice. We will return again.

After a short drive from the Liberia airport you arrive to a secluded but secure resort that excites your senses from the moment you are greeted by the friendliest group of people I have ever meet. Aaron and his staff took care of us from day one. Me and my family enjoyed the rooms, pools, and most of all the beach club that had a private beach and plenty of wildlife. They have a beach side restaurant and bar that allowed you to spend the entire day or just an hour or two if you wanted. You could catch the shuttle or take a water taxi to the location. All the restaurants had great food and reasonable prices as well. We did rent a car but could have easily had just got the airport shuttle and just stayed on the property all week as they will assist in booking day trips if you like. The golf course was amazing, the greens were very hard to get use to and the layout very challenging. Hit the 3 or 5 wood leave the driver in the bag. This resort and staff makes you feel like you are visiting with family you have not seen for years and leave you with thoughts of "when will I see you again, how soon can I come back...". Pura Vida.

Absolutely amazing. Nothing bad could be said about this resort. The rooms are modern and beautiful and exactly as shown in the pictures on their website. Cleanest rooms you can imagine, complete perfection as far as housekeeping goes. The pools are great, grounds are super clean and beautiful; what takes this place to a whole new level is the staff. Every single person we had encounters with was polite, friendly and super professional. I work in hospitality so I understand how much effort goes into making guest feel welcome and at home. No request was ever to much to ask and you were always given a big smile in return. We traveled with our dog and they even stop and acknowledge her ( which doesn’t happen often in hotels anymore). Food at Ostra restaurant was exceptional, food at Rio Bhonga was mediocre and the menu very limited. We would go back in a heart beat.

The Andaz resort in Costa Rica is the most amazing resort and trip that we have had in the Caribbean. My husband and I ifelt like it was like a honeymoon once again . The staff was incredible with every needs met the food was spectacular and our views in the grounds at the resort design was amazing you had all activities from safari right off the beach to water taxis to a beach club to other restaurants do not miss the dive bar in the marina. Again it was absolutely a beautiful time to have as a couple

This is a beautiful property! I would not recommend it for anyone with issues walking however. They do offer golf cart rides which is very nice, but it’s still a lot of up and down. This did not bother us but I could see how others may have issues. The way it’s built into the side of a mountain is quite stunning but keep in mind the hills and stairs. The rooms are decent size and have very nice balconies. Linens and toiletries were very nice as well. The staff was extremely friendly, but not always attentive; maybe it’s cultural? We used the new beach club area which isn’t fully operable yet but we really enjoyed that area and the food was great. The morning breakfast buffet was excellent but the other restaurants for lunch and dinner weren’t anything special. We would recommend this hotel to anyone going to the beautiful Papagayo Peninsula and that cannot afford the Four Seasons.

Short, business trip in Papagayo. The rooms are neat, nice balcony views. The lightning switch on the bedrooms is an issue. They all dim instead if going on or off. Can’t turn off the bathroom light. It dims but turns on the minute you move. Can be bothersome for couple in the early morning. Beach is okay. Not their main feature. Proximity to the marina was the main attraction for me. Breakfast was great, need to make a decision with the monkeys. Can’t have them as a tourist magnet and not deal with the scares they give folks while having breakfast. Dinning restaurant had a great ambience and live music. Food was good. Some may have issues on pricing vs value but that depends on what you prioritize.

After staying at the Andaz in Maui and Lisbon, we were excited to stay at this location in Costa Rica. The property is beautiful, family friendly, and the staff are always happy to help. Shout out to the kids club team, coffee shop team and Jarrett at the pool bar for always welcoming us and asking how our stay is going. Those folks left an impact on us although the entire staff was stellar. They utilize WhatsApp, so, I recommend to US travelers to have that handy. The grounds are beautiful, have several pools, and direct beach access as well as a beach/beach club where Meso restaurant is located. You will need to take a shuttle to access. I recommend beach shoes for the beach. There is a weekly schedule of activities for a fee and a spa. My husband and I took the barista coffee class and ceviche class- both were great. The hotel clearly tries to be sustainable and use local products and minimize plastic use. These are huge and I am happy to see that they could implement these practices at a large resort like this.

The staff at this amazing hotel went out of their way to ensure we had a wonderful stay. The property is set in a stunning location, the pools and beach club were out of this world. Every member of staff was brilliant. The facilities were exceptional. From the gym and the pools to the beach club, it was all amazing. The room was well fitted out with a great view.

This is one of the most beautiful properties we’ve stayed in. It is like being in a treehouse! The room was amazing, the staff was so accommodating and kind, the facilities and grounds were gorgeous, the food was delicious. We especially enjoyed Chao Pescao and Meso. The complimentary shuttle which arrives every half hour at the lobby and offers rides to other hotels on the peninsula for dinners is so convenient. Even though the main beach area must be accessed by boat, it was never an issue because it was a super convenient and quick process. The boat goes back and forth about every 8-10 minutes throughout the day, so you are never waiting long. Bonus…the property provides towels and sunscreen and bug spray! We would definitely stay here again.

The location and hotel facilities are simply amazing! Staff were very friendly and helpful. I had a super relaxing yoga class with the most beautiful view with Yari ( I hope I am spelling right) who was fantastic. We wished we had stayed longer!

Beautiful location, amazing amenities, comfortable, friendly and helpful staff, amazing drinks and food, and monkeys.

Amazing clean and comfortable. Food was good, service and staff were all so friendly and helpful. Adonis at the bar during the shows was amazing, great attitude and service. Milton at the buffet was so friendly! My daughter and I had an amazing time and relaxation. We did a catamaran and a boat trip to Coco , both were fun. Drinks were good and service was always fast and friendly. Was easy to eat meals at all restaurants, sometimes with a short wait but we went for drinks while waiting. Would go back again!

We were very satisfied with our stay at Rio Guanacaste. The hotel fully met our expectations, both from what we read on Booking.com and in reality. We stayed in a renovated room in a new building — it was spacious and comfortable. The food quality was consistently good across breakfast, lunch, and dinner, with a wide variety to choose from. Nothing extraordinary, but everyone will find something they like. The staff works hard, they’re friendly and responsive, always trying to help and move quickly. Cleanliness is well maintained, even when the hotel is busy. We also really liked the location — the beachfront is beautiful, the pools are great, and the bar service was solid. Nothing over-the-top, but overall a great value for the price. It’s slightly expensive for Latin America, but reasonable considering Costa Rica is one of the pricier countries in the region - its OK.

The staff were all pleasant and nice, very friendly. The property is very clean, all the restaurants had delicious fresh food. And the waiter not long at all. The only issues we had were in the gift shops, the employees in 2 of the shops were not friendly.

Everything was awesome, the food, the activities on the pool, the beach. Entertainment in the evenings are a must watch. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. The property is huge and very safe. Very clean resort, would recomend and hope to try different RIU destinations in the future.

The room was big, bathroom as well. Very nice pools, beach and aqua park, we all enjoyed them a lot. Food is good, a la carte restaurants are also very nice. There is always something to eat, you never get to suffer before a main meal, which is very convenient, especially with kids. Especially liked the fruits, very tasty and good variety.

The Riu Guanacaste All-Inclusive Resort provides excellent service, clean and spacious rooms, and a beautiful setting. Our room in the quiet new building was ideal for relaxation, though the long walk to the beach and bars might not suit those with mobility challenges. The mini-fridge was restocked every two days, and we had no issues using the in room safe. Meals were fresh and flavorful, even at the buffets, and the drinks were great. The pools were warm, like bath water, and the ocean offered warm swimming conditions with occasional large waves. A major highlight was the wildlife—howler monkeys were abundant in the trees, and gentle capuchins even took fruit from our hands. Excursions required travel, with most over an hour away. However, the Diamonte Eco Adventure Park was just 10 minutes by bus, and the water taxi to Playa de Coco offered a unique experience, despite the challenge of docking boats amid waves and riptides. The Monkey Bar, a 10-minute walk along the beach, was a must-see with plentiful and friendly monkeys, though better trail signage would be helpful. Entertainment catered to children, making it great for families but less so for adults seeking variety. The resort is somewhat isolated, and the air conditioning didn’t meet North American standards, so bringing a fan is recommended. Overall, Riu Guanacaste is a fantastic choice for families, couples, or adventurers seeking relaxation and memorable wildlife experiences.

Just returned from this fabulous hotel. We stayed in the newer section and our room was lovely. Great to be able to sit on the balcony and watch the monkeys first thing in the morning. Hotel has many restaurants and a snack bar that is open through out the day. Staff are very friendly and helpful and the entertainment is very good. Very clean hotel. Beach does have local vendors on it but they are friendly and will leave you alone once you have told them your not interested. Costa Rica is an amazing country and this hotel will only enhance your stay there.

The room, pool and beaches here are amazing! For food we loved the Italian and Asian restaurants and ate dinner there most nights. The breakfast buffet was really good too. All of the staff was really friendly and helpful. I loved watching the monkeys at the preserve next door and the iguanas. We will be back in a few years! We love Costa Rica and it was a beautiful resort. Lots of activities for kids!

On arrival when we were walking to our rooms we thought it was a hospital or prison but once in room we were impressed. Comfortable beds lots of space and a free mini bar. Food was excellent in buffet but the system to use the other restaurants is madness. Queue at 6 and hope for the best. We didn’t bother Be warned the road to hotel is appalling it’s about 15 mins of hell. Costa Rica was safe friendly and wonderful

I definitely recommend this resort , my check in was great Jesus was the best. Very welcoming and polite. The buffet was good & plentiful cleanliness could have been better but it wasn’t unpleasant at all. I ate like a guy at a buffet supposed to eat . The bartender was good & nice drinks made to get you where you’re trying to go. Pool area was clean & very spacious swim up bar.

The people were amazing. I love when the staff is there every day and remembers your names! We loved the greenery and the ease of using the beach and pool. it was the prefect size for the kids to go back to the room alone and navigate safely. The included breakfast was delicious. Comfortable chairs with ocean view seemed to be readily available. (big yoga group that spent a lot of time up doing yoga so not sure if without them, the chairs would be more in demand. Walkable to several restaurants, bars and the brewery and supermarket.

Delicious breakfast included, fresh fruit and juice delivered right as you sit and a menu of great options AND with a beautiful view of the ocean. Loved that they offered a daily yoga class. Peaceful and quiet beach, stunning views and sunset, great pool and swim up bar and grill. Wonderful staff.

The property is beautiful from the gardens, to the pool, the lawn. The location right on the beach can't be beat with a beautiful sunset view from a cozy beach chair. It is also a short try to Playa Conchal (the shell beach). The staff was also very helpful. When I arrived early they directed me to some good snorkeling spots nearby or welcomed me to hang out at the pool. Bonus - Cold water is available in the lobby!

It was right on the beach, and close to other beaches to travel visit. The food at the restaurant was delicious, and the pool area was comfortable. We enjoyed the live entertainment (couple from Brazil) one night. Our room was well done and the bed was very comfortable. The staff were exceptional. The sunset one night was amazing, I think the best I’ve ever witnessed. We had a wonderful stay.

The views of the beach and just walking through the resort property were beautiful. The staff was very welcoming and helpful. The free breakfast and all other meals off the menu were delicious!

We had the most amazing time at CC Beach Front Papagayo. It was everything we had hoped for and more. There were 4 of us, myself, husband, and 2 older teenagers. Upon arrival, we were greeted by a very friendly Daniel, with cool mint refreshing washcloths. He checked us in quickly and explained the restaurants, times, amenities, and made reservations for us at the exclusive restaurant. The property was clean and inviting, beautiful and not crowded, even though they were full. They have a smaller number of rooms than most resorts, which was so nice because we never had to wait for a table at any of the meals and always had fresh towels for the beach and pool, along with lounge chairs. Also, there wasn't a long line for the bars, so super easy to order drinks as wanted. It is a very family friendly resort, with lots of activities for kids of all ages, including a play area, pool table, ping. They had a play area and shallow parts of the pools for the little kids and very large spacious pools for the adults. They have 2 pools, one salt water and one chlorinated. They're both great and at opposite ends of the resort. Neither pool was crowded when we were there, even though the resort was full. The gray sand beach right in front of the resort is beautiful with stunning sunsets. The food prepared by chef Christian and team was absolutely amazing! The best we've ever had at an all inclusive. The room was nice, spacious, and very clean. Staff was exceptional! We will be back!

Beautiful resort with amazing staff and delicious authentic food. Very laid back vibe and very family friendly, they even have a cute little kids corner, with ice cream, popcorn and stuff for smores. The beach was amazing and how atttentive the grounds staff is shows in the areas to relax, absolutely gorgeous. But the best part was the staff, right from the start to the end Anita at reception our frist day, the young man when she was not there to Danny Boy always wishing you Pure Vida to seeing the ladies that take care of you in the buffet, holding a couples baby so they could enjoy the buffet and their meal, always so friendly. A huge, huge thanks to Jean-Claude, Mauricio, Eric, Larry, Danny for the great conversations, sharing their lives and family photos, making us delicious hand crafted cocktails and having cold Sauvigon Blanc on hand. Mucho Gusto CC Beach Hotel staff! We will see you again!

We stayed from Nov. 1 to 8, 2 couples (one in regular room, other in superior). Both rooms were very clean, superior was more recent. Staff extremely friendly, excellent service. Because the place is so small, you get to know the staff well, and they get to know you too. Special thoughts for Daniella at the restaurant and Erick at the pool bar, always smiling. The food at the restaurant was always excellent, and the drinks were also good. We are wine drinkers, and sometimes it is not easy in all-inclusive, but the wine was ok. If you want a quiet place and you are ok to eat at the same restaurant, this is a good place for you. We were there to relax, enjoy the beach and explore the surroundings (we did few tours), so it was perfect for us. Black sand beach, smooth sand, we enjoyed it. But special thank you to the staff, you are the ones who changed our stay experience!

This hotel/resort is quite small which is exactly what we wanted. Myself and 4 others were in the 400 and 500 series villas. The rooms were spacious and had everything we needed at first. My only complaint is that despite daily tipping for the cleaning staff, most of the week our supplies like face cloths, hand towels, clean cups etc were not replenished. We managed and it was a slight inconvenience. The grounds were clean and well maintained, the pool was really warm and we really felt like we had the resort to ourselves. The buffet had excellent food and they were always willing to cook up other foods upon request like burgers, fries, chicken wings and chicken tenders. The staff was always eager to please the guests. The 1 a la carte restaurant was not busy, we had the small space just for ourselves. I think we had pasta and beef tenderloin, very tasty. We went to the sanctuary but we all felt that it was an overpriced excursion. We did find value in doing a river boat tour. We also hired a boat from Dennis who was on the beach to take us out on the water to watch the sunset. It was wonderful!! Money well spent. We hired a taxi to take us to Coco Beach and be warned...it was $70 USD for roundtrip which we thought was way too expensive for the 15 minute drive each way. All in all, Costa Rica is my new favourite vacation destination, I loved the country and the people. I was very pleased with the resort and I would definitely return

This place is amazing. Beautiful. Quiet. Well staffed. The food was good! The place is clean. The staff were sooo friendly and attentive. The pools are great and the property is literally on the beach. The beach is very calm (basically no waves). This is not a party place (mainly quiet and families or couples). The room we stayed in was basic but clean. Our room didn’t have a functioning shower but we worked around it….that was my only complaint.

We had an amazing time staying here. All of the staff were amazing. They were always friendly and helpful. Nature is all around and the beach (Play Panama) is gorgeous. The most amazing sunsets I’ve seen. My don was excited to see iguanas, a variety of birds, and even a couple monkeys in the trees that surround the property. The beach is not crowded but is very nice with small waves and nice sand, and trees for shade. They have a smaller number of rooms, but a large property with two pools and multiple bar and dining options. This means you never feel crowded or have to search for a chair by the pool. I had a really amazing sea bass at the nicer restaurant one night. The bartender at the pool was very friendly and skilled as well. The resort has a laid-back and relaxed feel, but they are great with kids. One of our servers at the buffet restaurant taught my son a little Spanish at every meal. We had a basic room without a view, but it was nice and clean with A/C. The property has many rooms facing the beach, and we’ll probably get one of those if we return. We had a great time and would recommend CC Beachfront Papagayo to friends without any hesitation.

Our family of 4 stayed for a week at CC Beach Hotel, and we would go back! The grounds and rooms were beautiful and extremely well maintained. The proximity of rooms to the pools, dining areas and beach was perfect; short walks to anything you could want on the property. The staff was amazing. Everyone working there went out of their way to help out in any way they could. There was always someone around to answer questions or get you anything you might need. We ate most of our meals at the buffet which was awesome. A few times, we ordered fries and chicken tenders, burgers or pizza during hours that the buffet wasn’t open, and those were all delicious also. We didn’t stay up too late, but getting a drink at one of the bars was always easy, and the bartenders could make just about anything you’d want. Shout out to bartenders Jordan and Dennis for taking care of us! We booked one all day tour before we arrived, as well as a surf lesson in Tamarindo, an hour away. The tour included transportation but the surf lesson didn’t. Transportation to and from Tamarindo was expensive and I regretted not arranging transportation ahead of time. We also booked a Jet Ski tour with Dennis / Water and Land Activities right outside of the hotel on the beach. He offers a wide variety of options that originate right there on the beach, so next time we’d probably book more activities through him. CC Beach Front Hotel made our vacation so special and extraordinary!

An Unforgettable Family Vacation Experience! We just returned from the most incredible stay at CC Beachfront Papagayos in Costa Rica, and I cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience! From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel like family. Everyone spoke both English and Spanish, which made communication so easy and welcoming. They were always smiling, helpful, and genuinely cared about our comfort and enjoyment. One of the biggest highlights was the food! As a family with picky eaters, we were a little nervous, but the all-inclusive dining truly exceeded our expectations. Our kids were thrilled to be able to order their favorites chicken strips, fries, wings, pizza at any time, and the kitchen happily made it happen with no hesitation. The quality and flavor of the food was excellent for both kids and adults alike. A special shout-out to Kande, our incredible waitress and host throughout our stay. She was absolutely amazingattentive, kind, and always one step ahead when it came to taking care of our boys. Her presence made mealtimes smooth, stress-free, and even fun. She truly made our vacation even more memorable. The beachfront location, the friendly atmosphere, and the genuine care we received made this one of the best family vacations we’ve ever had. We’re already talking about going back. Highly recommend CC Beachfront Papagayos to any families looking for an easy, beautiful, and relaxing getaway!

I stayed at an all-inclusive resort that delivered an exceptional vacation experience, marked by top-tier service and warm hospitality. From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond to ensure our comfort, always greeting us with a smile and attending promptly to any requests. The food was another highlight — a diverse selection of freshly prepared meals at the buffet, with options ranging from local specialties to international cuisine. Chef Jiminez is truly talented and came out to greet its guests. The resort’s location couldn’t have been better — just steps away from the ocean, offering stunning views and easy access to the beach. Mornings were perfect for peaceful strolls along the shore, while afternoons were packed with fun (kayaks/swimming/jetski rental). Activities for all ages included board games, billiard, ping pong, obstacle course on the tree, 2 huge swings, bonfire. This resort is great for families, couples, elderly and solo travelers. One area where the resort could use some improvement is its infrastructure. While everything was clean and well-maintained, some buildings and common areas felt a bit dated and in need of renovation. A few minor repairs and upgrades to facilities like the pool deck and gym would elevate the overall experience significantly. Will definitely come back!

We had a very relaxing and fun vacation. The staff was friendly and very helpful. The food was fine and we thought was quite good. Overall we felt we made a fine choice picking this place. The staff member helping with the beach activities (i.e. kayaking, paddle boarding, etc.) was very cheerful and helpful and make the experiences quite enjoyable. One small note is that the description of the check in process on the Expedia site was not entirely correct. The site lists that check-in ends at 9:30pm and no after hours check-in is available. This caused us initial stress when our flight was delayed which prompted a frantic call while we were still stateside, but the reception there said someone would certainly be available to check us in when we arrived. Not only did the staff stay late to ensure we were situated, but they also prepared a late dinner which they presented to us on arrival. A very nice touch.

From the moment we arrived, Erica at the front desk made us feel welcome. She was friendly, helpful, and set the tone for a great stay. My best friend and I were pleasantly surprised with an upgrade to an apartment that included a kitchenette, such a nice bonus. The beds were plush and very comfortable, and the AC worked perfectly. Erica also let us know that offseason construction was underway to add another pool. The work happened during designated hours, so it didn’t disturb us much at all. Overall, the property felt safe, well-maintained, and genuinely beautiful.

The house was so beautiful and clean. Most staff were great and very kind. The location is perfect, super close to the beach and other amenities. There are two medium-sized pools, and it's a very calm and relaxing environment. It seems like it's more of an adult friendly complex because of how quiet it is, but we brought two kids, and they enjoyed their time!

Our stay with Casas del Toro was fantastic. Due to weather issues and airport closures were uncespectedly stuck in Costa Rica for 3 more nights than we planned. Casas del Toro was incredibly accomodating, allowing us to extend our stay and providing significant kindness at a very stressful time. The property is gated which made it feel very safe. It is a beautiful, well maintained property. We enjoyed listening to the birds and looking at the many orchids. The room was large, clean, comfortable with everything we needed. The air conditioner worked great to keep us cool. The location was minutes away from the beach and a grocery store. We drove to Potrero, Tamarindo, Brasilito and Las Catalinas with ease from the location. We were only able to enjoy the pool once due to the weather but it was lovely.

We loved staying here! It's in a quiet and natural setting with beautiful greenery throughout the property. It's a relaxing retreat as it is secluded in a wonderful way. The sound of birds and the soft music in the restaurant area gave a tranquil experience. The food was very good. All the staff are warm and friendly, from the reception area to the restaurant to housekeeping and landscaping. They all keep the rooms, grounds and pools immaculate. They all give excellent and prompt service at all times, especially Roger and Griselda. We look forward to staying here again!

This is a great place. The rooms are large and clean. The layout is pretty and functional, the staff are kind, helpful and professional. They really care about what they are doing. The pool is a great size for families and the whole setting is peaceful except for the squawking of the parrots twice a day. There is a great lunch spot, a la Nico, 150 meters down the road.
