Top Matapala Hotel Reviews

Hotel Tamarindo Diria Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay. Nice pools, great breakfast and good location for walk ability (although we didn’t much like that particular beach). Nice staff!"

Andaz Peninsula Papagayo Resort, Costa Rica, by Hyatt

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing resort. Clean and beautiful. The service was top notch and the staff were all knowledgeable and so friendly. Recommend 1000%"

Planet Hollywood Costa Rica by Royalton, An Autograph Collection All-Inclusive Resort

8/10 Good

"I had a great overall stay at Planet Hollywood Costa Rica and would definitely return. The property was beautiful, clean, and well maintained, and the staff were friendly, polite, and helpful. I loved the variety of restaurants, and the Guest Services team was phenomenal in helping me secure restaurant reservations throughout my stay. I stayed for my birthday, so I was disappointed that the hotel itself did not acknowledge it, especially since they knew I was traveling specifically to celebrate. Guesto Restaurant did make my birthday very special, which I truly appreciated. I also purchased a birthday package, but the balloons I selected were unavailable and had to be substituted. My biggest disappointment was Nexus, the onsite company handling transportation and excursions. I waited about two hours at the airport because they were waiting for other guests, even though I saw people who arrived after me leave before me. My excursion driver was also nearly 30 minutes late due to a communication issue regarding my pickup time. Most concerning, Nexus had no record of my prepaid private airport transportation when it was time to leave. I had to prove the booking and arrange everything again about an hour before my flight, which was extremely stressful. Overall, I loved the resort and would absolutely stay again. However, I would arrange my own transportation and excursions rather than use Nexus."

W Costa Rica - Reserva Conchal

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice staff very beautiful property! Deep into the gated community"

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

10/10 Excellent

"It was a beautiful resort. The amenities were amazing. beautiful beach. Really enjoyed the pool area with the pool restaurant. Everyone was extremely friendly & helpful. Really enjoyed all the restaurants."

Hampton By Hilton Guanacaste Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect location for travelling the next morning. Clean, spacious and very quiet. Wonderful pool area and morning breakfast."

Condovac la Costa

8/10 Good

"Everything except for the food, was fantastic."

CC Beach Front Papagayo All Inclusive

8/10 Good

"Staff was nice and helpful, and the resort is right on the beach which was nice. 2 pools with swim up bars but they close at 5. The buffet food is not very good. They also don’t really stock your mini bar in the room. Only a couple beers water and coke. Nothing else. Overall I enjoyed Costa Rica it’s a beautiful country but the resort was underwhelming and could have been better."

Wyndham Tamarindo

"Aire acondicionado no muy bueno"
