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

10/10 Excellent
"Planet Hollywood was absolutely beautiful. When you walk in everyone claps and you are greeted with a dragronfruit refresher. Check in was smooth. The room is a suite extremely comfortable and spacious. I have to say one thing that stood out is how clean this hotel is. The staff very friendly. The food is not the best …Tye sushi and hibachi was very good . Buffet for breakfast is very good …dinner was not that great. By the pool area they have a burger place if you want hamburgers and nachos. The pool has daily activities however the foam party is the best!!!…The swim up bar can get crowded…lots of Bees in that area.I wish they had something to control the amount of Bees in the swim up bar. This hotel is on a mountain. It makes it hard to walk around because the roads are very steep. They have carts to transport travelers to the lobby and pool area . They come around every 15 min sometimes if they are very busy it can take 30 min. Nexus tours that help with excursions were excellent!!… i use them to book tours and for airport transportation. At the beach you have beach chairs and you have a volcanic beach. Black sand and beautiful water. You will see monkeys bring fruit. You can feed them. We would definitely return to this hotel."

The Palms At Coco Beach

The Palms At Coco Beach

10/10 Excellent
"We enjoyed our stay at The Palms at Coco Beach. It’s a great location, close to the black sand beach and near the main road with plenty of shops, locals, and tourists around. The rooms are very basic and a bit dated, and our smaller room with two beds was quite small, including the bathroom. Don’t expect a Hilton or anything fancy, but if you’re mainly there to shower, get dressed, and sleep, it works just fine. The staff were super friendly, the pool was always clean, and the complimentary breakfast from 7–10 a.m. was a great bonus. Overall, it’s a simple, no-frills place in a convenient location if you plan to spend most of your time out enjoying the area."

"The owners met us with a family-like welcome to their little patch of paradise! From the first moments here it became obvious that a fusion of vision, passion and love are at the heart of this Costa Rican Gem. We enjoyed our amply stocked kitchen and comfortable dining area, and Whitney was so thoughtful with local recommendations to restaurants, horse rides, surf breaks and more! Security here was impeccable with a locked gate during the night helping us feel relaxed and at home. Thanks so much Mística Natural family for a pleasant and memorable stay! 💚 💚"
