Top Cartagena Hotel Reviews

Wyndham Tamarindo

10/10 Excellent

"We loved the location and Ariana was our absolute fave the staff and breakfast was awesome location phenomenal no complaints would book again"

Hotel Riu Guanacaste - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"Enjoyed our stay very much from staff, amenities, and food, always great! Convenient to other things to do as well."

Hotel Tamarindo Diria Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Great Hotel right in the middle of all the action of Tamarindo. beautiful sunsets, breakfast buffet included. and private pool room was awesome"

Hotel Bosque del Mar, Playa Hermosa

8/10 Good

"Great staff, beautiful pool. Incredible food in the restaurant. But the elevator is broken (and apparently has been for months). Looks like they have no plans to fix it, since we noticed the staff storing cleaning supplies in it. We had to move to a first floor room (from the Nyuri Penthouse Suite) when my husband got into an accident in Costa Rica and could no longer use the stairs. Very disappointing that the management company doesn't consider this a priority."

Villas Sol Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was awesome. The only thing we didn’t like much was the food which was very standard. Also, when you buy the buffet, they include two alcoholic beverages, which brings the price up unnecessarily."

Occidental Papagayo - Adults Only - All inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"This property met every expectation I had. From friendly staff to beautiful views. My room was spacious and clean. Would most definitely visit this property again. Notable mentions to Rafael, and Eduar. They answered my minion and one questions with patience and professionalism"

Margaritaville Beach Resort Playa Flamingo

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice small resort. Everyone was friendly and helpful!"

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

10/10 Excellent

"Nice,clean resort.The staff very nice and helpful.Come back definitely.Recommend to all tourists"

JW Marriott Guanacaste Resort & Spa

8/10 Good

"Property was very clean, and staff were very friendly. We had a great view of the ocean from our room. We did have an intruder (Racoon) enter our room through the balcony door and open the bar fridge and stole a bag of peanuts. We learned that we needed to keep our balcony door locked and not just closed! However, we will definitely go back! Food and drinks are a little pricey!"
