Top Area de Conservación Guanacaste Hotel Reviews

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

10/10 Excellent

"Trato del personal espectacular"

Hotel Riu Guanacaste - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"The resort received a major upgrade last year and it is stunning!!! Clean rooms, pool was huge!! All restaurants were great and the staff was great. Fun entertainment daily."

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."

Four Seasons Resort Peninsula Papagayo, Costa Rica

10/10 Excellent

"Overall amazing property with beautiful views. The golf course is a must!"

CC Beach Front Papagayo All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"Best kids friendly hotel"

Nekajui Peninsula Papagayo, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay at Nekajui, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve, was truly exceptional. The resort is spectacular, with breathtaking views, beautifully designed facilities and an incredible sense of privacy and tranquillity. The facilities are outstanding. The **gym is amazing**, while the **spa and hydrotherapy pools are truly sensational** — perfect for relaxing and recharging. What really sets Nekajui apart, however, is its people. The staff were passionate, professional, warm and exceptionally courteous. Pablo, Samuel and the wider team went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed and genuinely cared for. Their attention to detail and pride in what they do made our stay particularly memorable. The restaurants were very good, with food consistently prepared to a high standard. As a new resort on the peninsula, there is still some opportunity to further develop the dining offering, and many residents understandably choose to explore some of the more established eateries nearby. That said, when dining at the resort, the quality of the food is excellent, and with a little further refinement, the restaurants have the potential to be truly exceptional. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and are immensely grateful to the entire Nekajui team for their incredible hospitality. The combination of the setting, facilities and, most importantly, the people makes Nekajui a very special place. We would happily return and highly recommend Nekajui."

El Mangroove Papagayo, Autograph Collection

10/10 Excellent

"El Mangoove was wonderful....beautiful property, lovely room, great restaurants. The staff were really superb. I would most definitely stay there again and have already recommended it to others."

Nandel Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent

"The service and staff were amazing. This is our third visit and we will be back. The restaurant had great food and the portions are huge. It would be nice if the trash on the beach was cleaned up, There are so many different beach option in the surrounding areas."

Santa Elena Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"This is a beautifully-crafted, very clean hotel. The staff are helpful and kind. Breakfast is cooked to order with beautiful trays of fresh fruit and excellent coffee. The grounds are lovely, and all around are huge, magnificent trees full of many birds. One one side of the hotel is a market, and on the order side is a very good restaurant. There are several beaches nearby, but my favorite beach is a short drive north in the wildlife refuge."
