Top Liberia Hotel Reviews
Planet Hollywood Costa Rica by Royalton, An Autograph Collection All-Inclusive Resort
"Location was great - during the week entertainment is a bit slow but overall great stay & food. The staff is amazing & especially one of the managers out front Diana!"
The Westin Reserva Conchal, an All-Inclusive Golf Resort & Spa
"We had an amazing time at the hotel and the staff was very friendly and professional"
Andaz Peninsula Papagayo Resort, Costa Rica, by Hyatt
"As decr"
Hotel Bosque del Mar, Playa Hermosa
"Excellent stay"
Condovac la Costa
"Pretty good experience, power was off and we weren’t notified for half a day, some things were a little outdated like broken tiles and other things however, most beautiful scenery and access to the beach was great ! Staff was decent"
Hampton By Hilton Guanacaste Airport
"It was my best stay ever at a Hampton - the room was clean, modern and perfect. The staff at the front desk were helpful and welcoming. The food at the restaurant was expensive and forgettable for what it was, but the great thing is there’s several options within close walking distance. The complementary shuttle was fantastic. If you’re looking between this and the Hilton Garden Inn - this is a winner!"
Best Western El Sitio Hotel
"Hotel viejo pero bonito, buena atención, habitaciones limpias, muy buena ubicación si te hospedas en Liberia."
Hotel Del Aserradero
"Friendly staff, very patient with our limited Spanish. They all spoke some English as well. A unique hotel close to amenities. Highly recommend. Thank you for a pleasant stay."
Occidental Papagayo - Adults Only - All inclusive
"Overall, we had a really nice stay at the hotel. The property was beautiful, our room was comfortable, and for the most part, everything was great. The biggest issue we experienced was with the staff during meal times. Unfortunately, several interactions felt rude and unwelcoming, which took away from an otherwise enjoyable experience. Hospitality really makes a difference, especially when you’re staying somewhere for a vacation. We also had a significant issue with the outdoor pool area. There were a tremendous number of bees around the pool and especially near the outdoor bar, which was the only outdoor bar available. I am deathly allergic to bees, so this made it extremely difficult for me to enjoy that area and made me feel unsafe. I understand that bees are difficult to control outdoors, but given the number of them, I do think the hotel should look into ways to address the problem or at least provide an alternative for guests with severe allergies. Aside from those issues, we genuinely enjoyed the hotel and thought it was a beautiful property. With some improvements to the staff’s approach during meal times and better management of the bee situation around the pool/bar, I would consider booking again."
