Top El Ocotal Hotel Reviews

Wyndham Tamarindo

10/10 Excellent

"This Hotel was amazing!"

Hotel Riu Guanacaste - All Inclusive

2/10 Terrible

"The restaurant food and system was horrible. Everything in the buffet was poorly refilled and it was for the most part cold. There is no towels, and you are granted a key card for 1 pool towel to which there are only 2 swap out stations that close early therefore you carry a dirty towel until you are able to exchange it. The 24 hours snacks are nacho chips with no cheese, we asked if it would be refilled and were told they were out. A fridge full of squishes hotdogs and burgers frozen for you to try to cook in 1 miniature grill. The beach access was dirty and there is no where to sit, no towels and no access to alcohol out there. The steakhouse was a predefined meal and limited menu. On my second night my room flooded and when I called the front desk they said they would send housekeeping. Housekeeping left all the wet towels behind on the floor and said it would most likely happen again. Checkout is at noon, at 8 am someone opened my door even though I was still in the room with my do not disturb sign on the door."

Hampton By Hilton Guanacaste Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Todo estuvo excelente, 5 estrellas para el alojamiento. Las instalaciones, la habitación y la atención cumplieron nuestras expectativas. Sin embargo, la segunda noche decidimos cenar en el restaurante del hotel y fue una experiencia decepcionante. Pagamos aproximadamente $90 por dos platillos y la calidad de la comida no estuvo a la altura del precio. Lo que más nos preocupó fue que los mariscos tenían un olor muy fuerte, al punto de que prácticamente no pudimos terminarlos y dejamos la mayor parte de los platos. Nos llamó la atención que, aunque el personal observó que la comida quedó casi intacta, nadie se acercó a preguntarnos si había algún problema o cómo había sido nuestra experiencia. En resumen, volveríamos a hospedarnos sin dudarlo, pero no repetiríamos la experiencia de cenar en el restaurante."

Occidental Tamarindo - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"Great location and property. The amenities like the pool and theater were awesome. Direct access to the beach to watch the surfers and experience the volcano rocks expanded our love for the property. The shell filled beach was truly unlike other places in the world. We loved our stay. Recommend if you want a taste of the nightlife in tamarindo as well."

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

10/10 Excellent

"Just got back from a 7 night stay. Had a wonderful time! The rooms were clean and loved the filtered water machine and cappuccino maker in our room. Most food was very good with Bamboo (Asian) and Manglar (seafood) being our favorite restaurants. The pizza stand by the pool was awesome! The pool and pool bar staff were fun. Shoutout to Alan at the club swim-up bar. Recommend paying extra for the club adult side of the resort if you are traveling without kids. The beach was also great! We swam in the ocean and saw manta rays and sea turtles by the shore. Beautiful sunsets also. Highly recommend the Westin!"
