Top Matapalo Hotel Reviews

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

10/10 Excellent

"We had the absolute best time at the Westin! John from tower 2 was so kind and always there for us when we needed a ride or help finding the monkeys. I can’t wait to go back!"

Hotel Riu Guanacaste - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"The resort received a major upgrade last year and it is stunning!!! Clean rooms, pool was huge!! All restaurants were great and the staff was great. Fun entertainment daily."

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."

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."

JW Marriott Guanacaste Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Great experience overall! Beautiful place, friendly service, and a relaxing stay. I recommend planning activities and reservations ahead of time to make the most of your trip!"

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!"

CC Beach Front Papagayo All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"Best kids friendly hotel"

El Mangroove Papagayo, Autograph Collection

10/10 Excellent

"El Mangoove was wonderful....beautiful property, lovely room, great restaurants. The staff were really superb. I would most definitely stay there again and have already recommended it to others."
