Top Santa Cruz Hotel Reviews

CC Beach Front Papagayo All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"This resort was a pleasant surprise. My husband selected the hotel & I was not excited about having one restaurant on the property. All I can say is WOW!! The menu changed every evening (Italian, Caribbean, Mexican) , the protein was prepared fresh upon request. Typically you had the choice of beef, chicken, fresh fish or pork. The breakfast had an omelet chef, fantastic fruit/pastries & AMAZING coffee. The hotel was a small boutique hotel. The pools were well maintained, staff was constantly asking if there was anything they could do, making sure the grounds were spotless. The concierge arranged a private fishing charter that picked us up right on the beach in front of the resort. The beach was soft sand & waters calm enough to hang out in. We'd definitely come back."

Occidental Papagayo - Adults Only - All inclusive

6/10 Okay

"Overall the stay was okay. The hotel has nice views and was very relaxing. Not much for activites or nightlife. They overcharge on the excursions and the souvenirs and the a la carte was always fully booked so I didn't get a chance to eat there, only at the buffet but the buffet food was good. The check in process was slow and people will cut in front of you even though you were there first waiting. You definitely have to lock up your stuff in the safe because I had a coach purse that was stolen from my suitcase and I had a chocolate bar that someone took a bite from. That was a little upsetting."

Hotel Riu Palace Costa Rica - All Inclusive

8/10 Good

"I stayed at the Riu Palace. The rooms were terrible. Outdated, stains on the walls, paint chipping on tables, old moldy smells, and filled with bugs. The bugs come from being in the mountains and surrounded by many trees. Unbeknownst to me they are closing this location for renovations September 1, 2026. I think they will reopen next year after March sometime. Wait until then to plan a visit. Other than the room, the resort is nice. Other areas are well maintained. The staff are exceptional. The food is decent. Really liked the steakhouse. They had amazing sunset views. They could plan out more evening / night time activities. I was given a free room upgrade that was a bit better than original room. Overall we had a nice time but wouldn’t stay here again."
