Top Playa Grande Hotel Reviews

Hotel Riu Guanacaste - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"Overall Rating: 4/5 Stars The Good: The property is beautiful, clean, and extremely well maintained. We stayed for a week and especially loved the beach and the top-notch evening shows. Our room was incredible! A special 5-star shoutout to Jefferson at the front desk for such a warm and welcoming check! The cleaning lady assigned to clean our room did an amazing work every time! We did got to thank her personally with a few tokens of appreciation! Areas for Improvement: Service at the restaurants was a real letdown. Many staff members seemed overworked, unhappy, and indifferent. Guests weren't informed about restricted seating upon entering the buffet, leading to frustration and poor service— at some points I saw a couple of staff laughing at some clients, that was not very professional…Uncollected plates, no water offered, and tense staff. The atmosphere was also ruined by servers aggressively scraping plates and throwing cutlery into buckets right near diners in the Italian restaurant and the buffet. It made for a loud, chaotic environment that forced us to leave early on a few occasions. Beautiful resort, but management seriously needs to address restaurant staffing and training. This been said, the overall experience was very nice and we had a good time!"

Hotel Bosque del Mar, Playa Hermosa

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is in a beautifully designed tropical garden. The room was very well maintained and beautiful. What impressed me most was that they provided glass water bottles, and the housekeeping filled them with filtered water for you. You can refill them yourself too. All the staff were smiley, warm, and helpful. The restaurant in the hotel was beautiful, and the breakfast was delicious (not included in the fee). The air conditioning in the room was good. The ocean view was great and easy to swim and the swimming pool were beautiful as well. The only shortcoming is that the swimming pool is a bit tiny. It is good for small kids, but not really suitable for swimming. The jacuzzi next to the pool was set to be lukewarm rather than hot. It'd be perfect if the hotel provided more activities or services probably. (The pool table was the only activity and we did enjoy it) However, we did enjoy the pool with a monkey family of eight howling on top of us everyday, which was so much fun! We also met many animals around the hotel, including iguanas, different kinds of birds, raccoons, and monkeys. The location of this hotel is quite isolated, so there are no restaurants or shops within walking distance to hang out at. Luckily, the hotel itself is good enough for us to hang out there most of the time. Overall, I really loved this hotel: the design, the ambiance, the vibes, the quality, and the staff."

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

10/10 Excellent

"My daughter had her wedding there and the wedding planner and photographer we had there did an amazing job. Everything was beautifully decorated and the food was wonderful. All the staff were wonderful and very helpful! They made it an amazing experience for my daughter!"

Zulu Surf Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"My family of 5, rented 3 rooms at the Zulu Surf hotel, everyone gives it 5 stars. All slept well on the comfortable beds, Staff was friendly and helpful. Not a lot of amenities, but we were not expecting any. But there was coffee, and games to play on a covered patio with a nice breeze. Conveniently next door to a wonderful pastry and restaurant, plus a food court. The beach was a very short distance, 5 minute walk. Lots of shops to browse, and plenty of restaurants up and down the street. Tamarindo is convenient if you wish to do activities life Iguana surf lessons and surf camp, zipline and ATV, a bit further you have Chris Diving, my family went with Chris, his family worked hard and patiently and took a lot of time to get one family member through anxiety and panic attacks, Lessons taught in the pool the day prior. 18 and 15 years old's, dove like pro's. The neighborhood felt safe and we were comfortable letting the 18 and 15 year old to wonder the main road at night. I can't recommend this charming hotel enough! Felt like home rather then a hotel."

Occidental Tamarindo - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"Séjour de 19 jours qui fut très agréable! Site exceptionnel aves accès direct sur playa Langosta, rocheuse mais fréquentée par les surfeurs. A 15 minutes de marche par la route, ou 30 minutes par la côte, de la magnifique plage de sable de Tamarindo. Chambre vaste et très confortable. Piscine bien entretenue et jamais trop occupée. Plage avec un coucher de soleil spectaculaire! Faune sur le site : Réveillés tous les matins par les singes hurleurs qui traversent le site de l’hôtel. Les petits perroquets chantent dans les palmiers. Les iguanes se promènent sur la pelouse. Personnel toujours très aidant, tant le personnel d’entretien des chambres et du site que celui responsable de la salle à dîner et du bar. Un merci tout spécial à Carlos [de Granados] qui était dévoué, souriant, de bonne humeur, et toujours intéressé à améliorer son français! Il a rendu notre séjour encore plus mémorable!"

Hotel Villa del Sueño

10/10 Excellent

"The staff at hotel Villa del Sueno is what makes the place. We had a couple minor issues, but they were so small that we didn’t even bother to ask for assistance - 1) dirty coffee ring on our nightstand upon check in - cleaned ourself. 2) the shower head had a leak and was spraying out over the edge of the shower onto our sink area - we put a rag over it and it was fine. Breakfast was great and service was good, we ate a lunch and a dinner at the hotel as well, both very good. It was our anniversary and the front desk helped me get flowers delivered for my wife, much appreciated. The pool was very clean and well kept. The grounds were gorgeous. I’d rate our room 3 star but overall experience a 5 star."
