Top Santa Cruz Hotel Reviews

Hampton By Hilton Guanacaste Airport

10/10 Excellent

"It is within site of the airport but you don’t hear the planes. Free breakfast was very good. Love the shuttle service."

Wyndham Tamarindo

8/10 Good

"We really enjoyed our stay at the Wyndham Tamarindo! The breakfast was awesome with a great variety of options, and the shuttle service was a very convenient perk for getting around. That said, there were a couple of things that could be improved. The pool bar wasn’t open during our stay, which was disappointing, and some of the shuttle times weren’t followed consistently by the staff, which made getting around a little frustrating at times. Overall, we had a nice stay and enjoyed the property, but having the pool bar open and more consistency with the shuttle schedule would have made the experience even better."

Hotel Riu Guanacaste - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"Yes — those are useful details because they tell people what to expect and what to take advantage of while they’re there. I’d word it like this: I really enjoyed my stay at Riu Guanacaste. The resort is beautiful, and one of my favorite things was seeing the wild monkeys around the property and near the beach. Definitely take advantage of Scuba Caribe on site for excursions, and Nexus Tours also has representatives at the resort who can help with bookings. The food was tolerable, although honestly I didn’t find the food particularly good anywhere I went in Costa Rica. I don’t drink, but my family felt the alcoholic drinks weren’t very good, so that may be something to keep in mind if drinks are important to you. Overall, we had a great stay. It’s a beautiful location and a great base for exploring Guanacaste. I’d stay there again."

CC Beach Front Papagayo All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"This place was amazing!! My wife and I stayed for 4 days here and honestly my only complaint was the room. We stayed in room 602, the room is small and the shower was horrible since it's a Jacuzzi/shower combo. It was almost impossible to really shower since I'm 6 ft 2. The buffet was the only food option which was so good, the food was fresh and delicious. The bartenders really know how to mix a drink!!!! Caesar was our favorite!!! Since it was off season the resort was very quiet and relaxing. I will definitely be booking here again just not room 602"
