"The hotel was very nice. There are many things that are good and others that are not so good. PROS: -Elegant and nice looking hotel. Makes you feel at home. -Nice breakfast. -Friendly staff. CONS: -All the restaurant was reserved for an event of Herbalife so that didn't give the guests the opportunity to have a nice and comfortable meal when necessary. So the restaurant is not 100% available for guests and there is noise because of the microphones they use. -The room is EXTREMELY small....

Hampton By Hilton Guanacaste Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Very beautiful room... everything including breakfast was great!"

Occidental Tamarindo - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"Staff were helpful and friendly. Very nice place to visit. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner times and meals were great. Dessert table was boring since same dessert options we provided for the entire week of our stay. The bar and snack bar were terrible and could use some improvement."

Occidental Papagayo - Adults Only - All inclusive

8/10 Good

"Overall, the resort itself is beautiful, the grounds are well maintained, and the food I had during the day was very good. There is definitely potential for a great vacation here, but my experience as a solo traveler was mixed. The staff were generally friendly, although I noticed the level of service often improved once they realized you were tipping. My biggest disappointment was the room assignment. I was told that because of the resort’s relationship with Travelocity, I would receive an amazing room. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case. I was placed in one of the furthest buildings (rooms 12–17), far from the restaurants, pools, beach, and entertainment. The area was dark and isolated, which felt unsafe as a woman traveling alone. I would have expected solo travelers to be placed in a more central location. The wildlife was another major issue. Raccoons actually entered my room and took food that the resort had left on the table. It seemed like they were accustomed to entering guest rooms, and throughout the night I could hear raccoons and monkeys outside trying the door. It made me uncomfortable enough that I avoided going out after dark, which meant I missed the evening dining and entertainment I had paid for. I also booked an expensive fishing excursion through the tour company on-site and was very disappointed. I didn’t feel the experience was worth the cost, and as a woman traveling alone, I felt like I wasn’t given the same effort or attention I expected."
