"We only booked one night for my family for a weekend getaway from Tamarindo, but wish we'd stayed longer! The house was very clean, with a well-equipped kitchen and plenty of towels. It's tucked back a bit from the lovely pool which is nice, it felt very private, and the property is very close to some terrific places to eat (and the beach, of course!). We also appreciated the access to a shared washer and dryer in good condition on-site. We hope to come back soon."

Top El Real Hotel Reviews

Hotel Riu Guanacaste - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"Great place"

Casa Chameleon Hotel Las Catalinas - Adults Only

10/10 Excellent

"The Casa team made the dream come alive! Our room was impeccable, the concierge team went above and beyond helping us coordinate our stay, meals, and excursions. The BEST massage- we did a couples Oceanic bundle and was totally worth it. The food is so fresh and prepared with heart! Shoutouts to a few faves - Errol, Cesar, Vanessa, the Marias (there are a couple!), Marlon, and of course our very favorite…GLEN!! Very grateful for the care we received and to really feel the PURA VIDA…all around. The views and rooms are almost as stunning as the people here. And, definitely splurge if you can for the rooms with a pool. Totally worth seeing those sunsets from the privacy of your own pool deck. Thank you and hope to come back soon. Pura Vida!"

Buena Vista del Rincon Eco Adventure Park, Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Professional, accommodating, friendly, English speaking staff throughout. Facilities well maintained and clean. Hot springs one of the best in CR, with a variety of temperatures to suit anyone, and natural steam sauna, a nice compliment. Complimentary breakfast very good and plenty of healthy options, including vegan options. Bravo!"

Andaz Peninsula Papagayo Resort, Costa Rica, by Hyatt

8/10 Good

"We had an incredible stay at Andaz Costa Rica Resort at Peninsula Papagayo! The property is absolutely stunning, surrounded by lush nature, breathtaking views, and a peaceful atmosphere. Every detail of the resort is thoughtfully designed, offering the perfect balance of luxury, relaxation, and Costa Rica’s Pura Vida spirit. The staff was warm, welcoming, and attentive throughout our stay, making the experience even more special. We visited to celebrate my husband’s birthday, and it was truly the perfect getaway. We left feeling refreshed and already looking forward to returning. Highly recommend this beautiful resort to anyone visiting Costa Rica!"
