"Filip and Petra were great hosts, flowers, fruit and good wine were waiting for us. I was traveling alone with two 12 year old children, they loved the giant trampoline, being awakened by the toucans, visiting the Coati at noon and falling asleep with the croaking of frogs and dives in the pool of course. There are some details to improve but the house is sublime (the most beautiful photos for my Instagram 😉) Maria the maid came every day even on Sunday and she did a very good job. We has a...

Top Costa Rica Hotel Reviews

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

10/10 Excellent

"Staff is amazing really friendly"

Hampton By Hilton Guanacaste Airport

8/10 Good

"We liked this property a lot. The only downside was there was no hot water when we went to shower and the housekeepers came into the room at 8:30 in the morning without warning. Close to Liberia, so easy when we fly in. Beds were comfortable but space in the room was VERY small. We had a 2 double bed room. We would stay again."

Hotel Los Lagos Spa & Resort

10/10 Excellent

"My family and I had a wonderful time here! The breakfast included was a delicious perk, from pancakes, to egg omelettes, and traditional Costa Rican rice and cheese and natural juices. There are options for everyone to enjoy. After a day of adventures, it was nice to be able to come back and go in the thermal pools and then go in the regular pools as well. The bar offers some great drinks and quick food like pizza, nachos, salchipapa, burgers, etc. the room was always cleaned as well by the time we came back. The staff were overall super friendly and helpful. Since it was our first time staying here, the only thing I would suggest since we arrived towards the night driving, is maybe to add some lights so that drivers are able to see a bit more clearly. We got a little lost finding our room since it was farther than the rest. Overall we all enjoyed our stay and the views from our room of the volcano were amazing! Will definitely be returning!"
