1. Corcovado Beach Lodge

Puerto Jiménez

"We stayed in a king-size cabin right by the water and it was very comfortable. The mattress is great. The AC works well. It has an attached bathroom, which is pretty basic, but it gets the job done. The location and the view and the access to the water to go for a swim is unbeatable. This is not a luxury lodge, but it is very clean and well maintained. Tomas the owner is super helpful. We did not stay for breakfast, but they do have breakfast on site. This is a great place to stay if you’re...

"This hotwl was an amazing place to stay! Daniel was an incredible host and took us on tours in their own brand-new private bus at a great rate, which made everything so easy. He even drove us back to San Jose and had a baby seat for our little one! The food was excellent, the rooms were much bigger than we expected, and the location was perfect. The highlight was the stunning view of the volcano—you can see it so clearly from the beautiful pool (when it is not cloudy), it's like it's right in...

Top Costa Rica Hotel Reviews

Fairfield by Marriott San Jose Airport Alajuela

8/10 Good

"Staff was very kind…only 1 night on my fourth…the food was not good a5 alll."

Hotel Riu Guanacaste - All Inclusive

8/10 Good

"Definitely the most beautiful Riu property I’ve been to (nicer than Montego Bay and Punta Cana) and the grounds were well maintained. The Fun Squad was lacking however and were worse than both they other two Rius. It felt like they did not even want to be there at times. The night shows were also lacking and felt like the performers needed more practice."

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, San Jose Aeropuerto, Costa Rica

10/10 Excellent

"Fuimos para la cómic con y fue muy conveniente lo cerca que estaba el centro de Convenciones el bar fue increíble tomamos una sangrías excelentes y personal fue muy atento, la cena fue espectacular y el desayuno estuvo a la altura muy buena variedad."

The Royal Corin Thermal Water Spa & Resort - Adults Only

10/10 Excellent

"Just returned from our stay. 10/15-10-19. One word to describe our overall experience. Magnificent! From the moment we arrived until the moment that we left. The staff, food, room, amenities, cleanliness, the grounds, and the breakfast lived up to the expectations I had from previously reading reviews. Not sure where the bad reviews are coming from, but I do acknowledge that everyone is entitled to their own opinion. The Royal Corin is an amazing place and we truly enjoyed our stay. If you are looking for a beautiful place to stay and relax, with a delicious breakfast every morning, this is your place. The entire town of La Fortuna is beyond pleasant. The people are beautiful and they treat you with such grace, and the same is to be said about this beautiful hotel. Not sure when we will be returning, but I know we definitely will. The view from the hotel room is breathtaking. The breakfast is fresh. The hotel is clean and well-maintained. The pools and hot tubs are great. I could write an entire essay about why you should stay here. I will keep it short and say this. The Royal Corin is a magnificent place and if you have the opportunity to stay here, you should definitely do so."

Hotel Tamarindo Diria Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent

"This is a great resort. Right off the beach, our breakfast and dinner were spent under the shade of the trees looking into the Pacific ocean and sunset. Absolutely stunning views. The entire resort was well kept with very friendly staff. We're really happy that we stayed here."
