Top Playa Gigante Hotel Reviews

Crocs Resort & Casino

8/10 Good

"The staff was very friendly and helpful."

Hotel Santa Teresa by the Beach

10/10 Excellent

"El edificio y la habitación siempre estaban muy limpias y olían muy bien, el trato del staff siempre fue muy amable y el desayuno estupendo. Mi único comentario negativo es la ausencia de ascensor, estuve alojado en el tercer piso y tengo una lesión en la rodilla, lo cual me dificultó la movilidad. Deben prever algún acceso para facilitar movilidad."

Hotel Cerro Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"The overall property is very beautiful, located in a forest setting. The open air restaurant with its observation deck is a great place for birdwatching since there are feeders at the edge of the deck and the staff puts out fruit and seeds early when the birds are active. The staff is wonderful, very helpful and friendly! And the location is very near the river tours and Carara National Park. The only negative thing we can offer is that the standard room is very basic, and shows some signs of needing renovation. We had no hanging closet and no furniture with drawers, so were living out of our suitcases. Still, we loved everything else and would return, but maybe try to get an upgraded room. My overall summary: a 5 star experience, with a 3 star room. Pura Vida!"

Nya Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We absolutely loved our stay at this hotel! The food was excellent, with every meal exceeding our expectations. The staff was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always willing to help, which made our experience even more enjoyable. The rooms were beautiful, comfortable, and very well maintained, and the amenities were fantastic. Everything about the property made for a relaxing and memorable stay. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the Montezuma or Santa Teresa area. Even if you’re not staying at the hotel, I strongly recommend stopping by for a meal—the food alone is worth the visit. Overall, a wonderful place that we would gladly return to!"

Ylang Ylang Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent

"I traveled with my wife and two kids. The property is just in front of the beach and you are surrounded by jungle. The rooms are excellent, the staff is amazing and the food was delicious. It is very private and you can walk through amazing trails to nearby beaches. There is parking on site. Do consider driving a 4x4 so you can get all the way to the hotel as there is a short drive on sand before reaching the property. If not, no worries, you can leave your car in the hotel Sano Banano, and they will arrange a shuttle for you. I will definitely go back."

Tango Mar Beachfront Boutique Hotel & Villas

10/10 Excellent

"This mavbe my most enjoyable stay ever in a hotel. I have never been in a hotel where absolutely everybody was so polite, friendly and engaed in creating a memorable experience for the guests. The owner of the hotel personally took me on an excursion which was so exciting and so thoughtful. All the team knew my name and tretaed me like a member of rheir famiy. The hotel was well maintained, located on (and my room overlooked) a great beach and the food was perfect! I will stay here again"
