Top Matapala Hotel Reviews

Hotel Riu Guanacaste - All Inclusive

8/10 Good

"We thoroughly enjoyed our time in Costa Rica , the Riu Guanacaste was very clean, the gardens were gorgeous but the food was not for me. I had a hard time finding something besides fruit and salad that tasted fresh. I am not a huge buffet person and trying to get a table at the restaurants was a lot of work. Besides the food, I would highly recommend the resort . The White party was so much fun too!"

The Palms At Coco Beach

8/10 Good

"Breakfast was great and staff was very hospitable and kind. We only stayed one night after arriving in Liberia. Very close to the beach, shops and restaurants. Room was very large, two separate rooms each with two double/queen beds and a kitchenette, basic but very clean. Staff would make me return again."

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

8/10 Good

"I really enjoyed my stay.The staff was amazing,the rooms were very clean and breakfast was very good.I didn’t like the fact of no elevators,we had to carry luggage up the steps and walk outside in the dark path of trees with the animals running around."

JW Marriott Guanacaste Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay at the JW Marriott Resort Costa Rica exceeded every expectation. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel genuinely welcome with exceptional hospitality and attention to detail. The property is absolutely stunning, with beautifully maintained grounds, a spectacular pool, and breathtaking views that create the perfect setting for a relaxing getaway. The rooms were spacious, impeccably clean, and incredibly comfortable. Every restaurant we visited served delicious food with excellent service, and there was a great variety of dining options to enjoy throughout our stay. Whether we were relaxing by the pool, walking along the beach, or enjoying the resort’s amenities, every experience felt first-class. What truly sets this resort apart is the people. Every team member went above and beyond to ensure our stay was memorable, always greeting us with a smile and making us feel like valued guests. If you’re looking for a luxury vacation in Costa Rica that combines beautiful scenery, outstanding service, and world-class amenities, the JW Marriott Resort Costa Rica is an exceptional choice. We can’t wait to return!"
