Top Cartagena Hotel Reviews

Hotel Riu Guanacaste - All Inclusive

8/10 Good

"Clean room, pretty good food, friendly staff. No ATM on the entire property, the shops were closed when they were supposed to be open and restaurants open/closed days were very arbitrary. 4/5."

CC Beach Front Papagayo All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful experience at CC Beachfront. The staff was excellent with great service, polite, and the food was great. The options for food are not that many and not overwhelming - we prefer it that way and loved that everything was fresh and made to order for us. The first night, we had issues with the room; it was a very weird layout without any standing shower or bathtub, and we requested to change it the next day. Staff agreed, and after that, our experience was great. The resort has a private beach that you have for yourself. Close to the Liberia airport as well. Highly recommend!"

Hotel Tamarindo Diria Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent

"We would recommend this resort based on many factors. We stayed right up front but the beach is easy from anywhere. Walking is easy to restaurants and shops. The restaurants and the bar on the resort were nice. The pools were very nice. Breakfast was good every morning and the fruit was always tip top. Parking our car rental was easy in and out. Getting towels was an easy exchange and the wash station right off the sand was very helpful."

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

8/10 Good

"Thé property is on the beach and the beach is not well maintained. The property is wide spread and the nature is beautiful. Many animals are roaming around and birds and monkeys are enjoying the trees. The restaurants are ok. Service is good. The food is ok nothing spectacular. Just adequate. Some restaurants you have to make reservations on the same day and reservations open up at 8 am. Very inconvenient during vacation to worry about reservation line opening at 8 am . Few minutes after 8 all he spots are booked. Definitely bad experience. All restaurants are closed between 3 and 5:30 pm expect the room service that takes 45 minutes to deliver the food limited menu. Since the property is very far from the town there are no other options. Very inconvenient during vacation to not have access to food. There is a take out Italian that you can get pizza or cesar salad only but again you have to wait and take the food to go . Paying for all inclusive option but getting pizza and Cesar salad between hours of 3 to 6 pm is false advertising. Guests at a almost 5 stars resort shouldn’t be treated like college cafeteria. Rooms are ok nothing fancy. Dark rooms with limited space. The grounds are walkable but dark at night since the lighting is very low not pleasant evening strolls. Overall felt like we are doing times at a facility rather than an exotic vacation in a resort. Tours are limited also and they play games with the hours paid and actual time you get . Won’t recommend."

Hilton Garden Inn Guanacaste Airport

8/10 Good

"Nice clean hotel and great pool. Proximity to the airport was why we stayed here. There is a few restaurants, a brewery, and a mini super market within walking distance. The airport shuttle runs every 15 minutes, but be sure to make a reservation as it gets full quickly and most guests didn't realize they had to book a spot, this made for a chaotic scramble to get on at our reserved time."
