Hotel Riu Palace Costa Rica - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"Love it"

Hotel Riu Guanacaste - All Inclusive

8/10 Good

"The property and rooms were beautiful! Concern- Toliet water smelled like sewerage Only one restaurant was a sit down which a reservation has to be made the day of arrival. Only got in once during the week. ALL others are buffets. Some of those are closed several nights during the week. The food was not the the best. Recommend going in December for greener mountains we went in June."

Hotel Tamarindo Diria Beach Resort

2/10 Terrible

"Honestly we felt catfished by this hotel. When we booked we thought the hotel looked amazing, but when we arrived we felt deceived. I can list all the horrible things we experienced starting with their towel policy. They give you tickets for pool towels which you can only get from the front desk which is across the street from our room. If you lose the towel or the ticket you have to pay $20 so that added extra stress to our stay. The hotel room is filled with bugs which sneak in under the front door that has a large gap from the floor. There is no extra entertainment when you are stuck indoors by the torrential rain. If there was a game room we were not aware of it because upon arrival we were not given much information. The breakfast was horrific. You check in with their host and she marks off your room number then says "have a great meal" and leaves you to search for an open table which they had none so you are left standing until someone leaves. The food itself was absolute garbage. The service was not memorable and we felt like everywhere you went someone was trying to get more money out of you. Definitely would not recommend this place to anyone."

Jardín del Edén Boutique Hotel - Adults Only

10/10 Excellent

"A hidden gem — peaceful paradise in the heart of Tamarindo Jardín del Edén feels exactly like what you’d imagine a tropical resort to be: a quiet, lush oasis tucked away from the noise. The property itself is stunning — beautifully maintained, full of greenery, and genuinely serene in a way that’s hard to find. The hotel has no direct beach access, but honestly, it doesn’t take away from the experience. The grounds more than make up for it. Rooms are simple but clean and comfortable — nothing overly flashy, which fits the vibe perfectly. Food is really good, and having breakfast and dinner included is a great perk. The hotel also offers wellness activities almost every day, which is a lovely touch. The concierge team deserves a special mention — they’ll help you arrange any tours and handle the logistics so you can just enjoy your time. Location-wise, you’re right in the middle of everything: shops and restaurants are steps away, and the beach is only a 5-minute walk. It’s not the most dramatic beach in Costa Rica, but the sunsets and sunrises are absolutely worth it. A wonderful place to recharge. Highly recommend it."
