Staff were amazing! We had absolutely no problems, and we had a great time. Property was clean and well maintained. There were no complimentary i that we are accustomed to like dish soap, towels in the kitchen. However, this is just a minor complaint and didn’t take away from the overall experience.

Frequently asked questions

How much does an El Real travel package cost?
Browse and book everything in one place with our El Real travel packages, which start from a low £1,058. Select the flights and hotels that suit your plans. Then, add on a couple of tours or experiences to cap off your unique adventure.
If I'm not able to travel, can I cancel my El Real travel package?
Don't worry if you're rethinking your El Real travel package — it's possible to change or amend your booking. And if you've booked it within the last 24 hours, you may be able to do it for free. However, bookings made more than 24 hours ago may incur charges from your airline, hotel or car rental company. We totally understand life can sometimes throw you a curveball, so make your way to our Customer Service Portal if that happens. When you're ready to make changes, we'll be here to help.
How do I get a cheap travel package to El Real?

Whatever your budget or style, there's a travel package with your name on it.
Does Expedia offer Book Now, Pay Later El Real holidays?
Expedia has teamed up with online lender Klarna to make booking your next trip easier on your bank balance. Paying by instalment means you can spread the costs of your next big adventure, leaving you with more cash to splash while you're travelling. Klarna has several payment plans to choose from, so you're sure to find something that fits your budget. Take a look at these flexible payment options:

  • Pay monthly holidays: If paying bite-sized amounts each month is something that would work for you, Klarna offers just that! Paying in convenient monthly instalments will make that dream holiday possible.

Where should I stay in El Real?
There's so much to see in El Real, so stay near its top sights and treat yourself to more time sightseeing. Hidden Garden Art Gallery is one place that should be on your itinerary.
What are the top hotels in El Real?
Get your holiday off to a flying start by locking in a room at Hilton Garden Inn Guanacaste Airport. It's one of most sought-after hotels in El Real. Another leading option is Best Western El Sitio Hotel & Casino.
How far in advance should I book my El Real holiday?
It's hard to pick the perfect time for airfares, but we generally say the earlier, the better. Many international journeys on Expedia become available up to 12 months in advance. If you're booking late, don't despair. Budget prices appear from time to time within a few weeks of departure dates.

Booking all the parts of your holiday together is an excellent way to save. Bundle your airfares, rental cars and hotels into a tidy package. But your options don't end at hotels. Expedia has all sorts of properties, including holiday rentals like oceanfront condos and serviced residences. You've got loads of choices!
