Top El Ocotal Hotel Reviews

Hotel Ocotal B&B

10/10 Excellent

"Felt very safe since the hotel was gated. Air conditioning room was very clean and staff was very friendly. In addition, the stay provided free breakfast. We will definitely stay at this hotel if we ever visit Liberia,CR. :)"

Hilton Garden Inn Guanacaste Airport

10/10 Excellent

"NA"

Margaritaville Beach Resort Playa Flamingo

10/10 Excellent

"We as a family (My Daughter and Grandson who is 13 years old) left our stay at the Margaritaville Resort in Costa Rica extremely happy with our trip. The only sad part of our stay was having to leave. We do plan on returning as our visit was above and beyond our expectations. The resort was clean, safe and the staff were so very friendly and helpful and the swim up bar was great! In addition, the Bartenders were so nice, made it fun to sit and we felt like family. My grandson and I played Pool, we also had so much fun at the Ping Pong Table, we played Jenga and enjoyed the Corn Hole Toss. We even went on the swings..even at my age I still enjoyed it! OMG, the Inclusive Breakfast was phenomenal!! The best inclusive breakfast I have ever had! Waiters and Waitresses all attended us with a smile and so courteous! We went on two tours and they were both amazing!! Ms. Flowers, our Tour Assistant at the resort was so sweet and so helpful. She made sure to listen well and made her recommendations and she was spot on! I am already missing my Costa Rica! I love Costa Rica!! PURA VIDA.... :-)"

Hotel Riu Palace Costa Rica - All Inclusive

8/10 Good

"Almost everything was a dream. The Staff was friendly, the property is well maintained, the only thing that I was not extremely fond of was the food. I would recommend the Palace and yes, I would go back to the RIU Palace for another vacation."

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

10/10 Excellent

"Everyone was so friendly and helpful, our room and the resort were always clean, the food was amazing. There was so much to do and the beach and pools were beautiful. Our only issue was our soaking tub in our room did not have warm/hot water, but I’m sure if we mentioned it they definitely would have accommodated us. 10/10 experience definitely will be back!"

Occidental Papagayo - Adults Only - All inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"We enjoyed our stay! The night club was a big hit! I just wished there transportation carts didn’t end at 2 am when the bar/club doesn’t close till 3… birthday weekend on top of 1 year wedding anniversary needless to say we partied!"

Hampton By Hilton Guanacaste Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice place! Great outdoor pool bar area! The location and free shuttle to the airport was quick and easy. Will stay again!"

Tortuga Verde Glamping

8/10 Good

"The place is pretty cool! A unique stay. Definitely not a great place if you are planning on working since their WiFi is not the best. They do have a small coworking space but the lighting is kinda bad and bad WiFi as well. Aside from that, everything was great! The plunge pool was nice, the rooms nice and clean, and breakfast was small but good."

Andaz Peninsula Papagayo Resort, Costa Rica, by Hyatt

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel will ruin all other hotels for you. The staff was incredible, the grounds were immaculate, the room was amazing, the wildlife and beach on property were unreal. Seriously, if you stay here, there’s no going back to mediocre hotels. You’ve been warned. We’re 100% going back. My wife literally cried when we were leaving."
