Hotel Tamarindo Diria Beach Resort
10/10 Excellent
"room was clean and spacious. easy to get around. nice beach area. Breakfast had lots of options. "
Hotel Riu Guanacaste - All Inclusive
6/10 Okay
"Hotel and grounds are very nice. Staff was fine. Pools were beautiful. Did not care much for the food. All restaurants, except the steak house was a buffet. Getting reservations for dinner was difficult, which was confusing, since they were buffets. Ride from Liberia airport was bumper to bumper, took 2 hours. Roads were 1 lane in each direction. Rooms were fine, and house keeping was very good. All in all would not return."
Villas Sol Beach Resort

"Wonderfull place with entertainments "
Hilton Garden Inn Guanacaste Airport
6/10 Okay
"The hotel itself was excellent and the staff was very friendly. The reason for my rating was the food at the restaurant. It was very expensive for extremely mediocre food. The a la carte breakfast was served cold and the pizza the night before was extremely greasy. "

Margaritaville Beach Resort Playa Flamingo
10/10 Excellent
"People are super friendly, rooms are big and clean, food at the all inclusive package is totally worth it. There are 2 main restaurants where you can have à la carte food and they have good options and variety. The beachfront advertisements are for real, you literally walk 20 steps to the beach"
