Top El Ocotal Hotel Reviews

Hotel Riu Guanacaste - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent. Clean room, food was so good and well seasoned at the buffet…pool was so fun and drinks was good also ."

Occidental Tamarindo - All Inclusive

6/10 Okay

"The property is older but very nice. It was nice and quiet and not really a party place. Just wish they had more activities to do and the biggest let down was the location of the beachfront. Not very nice looking but in town the beach was amazing. The restaurant was decent not spectacular. I just found the staff mot very attentive almost had to always go to them for something especially at dinner. Very rarely checking up on you or filling your water or offer drinks. Did I hate it? No but I didnt exactly love it. Probably won't stay again"

Occidental Papagayo - Adults Only - All inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice resort! Beautiful views, great food, good drinks! The beach was are favorite part. Only negative thing I can say is the towel service. Everyday we would go out and come back in the afternoon to shower and get ready for dinner. Are room would be clean, but we would have no towels to shower with. We would call the front for towels everyday sometimes twice. And we would be told they be there in 5min but was more like an hr or more before they would arrive. They should really replace the towels at the same time the room is cleaned. Either than that we had a great trip and would definitely return in the future."

CC Beach Front Papagayo All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"This was my first time staying at a boutique hotel, and I have to say, it completely changed my perspective on travel. I wasn't sure what to expect, but I absolutely loved the experience. Unlike larger resorts, there were no overwhelming crowds, which made the stay feel much more private, relaxing, and personal. The property itself is beautiful. The iguanas were everywhere and added so much character to the resort! The beach was gorgeous, and we were lucky enough to enjoy some truly spectacular sunsets though it was rainy season. The food exceeded my expectations. Breakfast was incredible every morning, and dinner was always something to look forward to because there was a different theme each night. My favorite was the Costa Rican and Italian themed dinners, which were absolutely delicious and gave us a chance to experience local flavors. One of the highlights of our stay was Alberto, one of the saloneros (waiters). He was friendly, attentive, hospitable, and genuinely made us feel welcome every day. His service stood out and truly elevated our experience. He was a shining example of hospitality and, honestly, provided a much warmer and more memorable experience than the receptionist lady. We booked a room with a balcony, which was nice, but we ended up spending most of our time at the pool and beach. The swim-up bar was fantastic and became one of our favorite spots to relax and enjoy the atmosphere. Overall, we had a wonderful stay."

Hilton Garden Inn Guanacaste Airport

8/10 Good

"Nice clean hotel and great pool. Proximity to the airport was why we stayed here. There is a few restaurants, a brewery, and a mini super market within walking distance. The airport shuttle runs every 15 minutes, but be sure to make a reservation as it gets full quickly and most guests didn't realize they had to book a spot, this made for a chaotic scramble to get on at our reserved time."

Wyndham Tamarindo

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel has some of the best views we’ve ever experienced. The infinity pool is absolutely stunning, the grounds are spotless and beautifully maintained, and the wildlife around the property made the stay even more special. We heard howler monkeys in the trees both front and back, saw green macaws flying overhead daily, and plenty of other tropical birds throughout our stay. The service was excellent from start to finish. Check-in was friendly and welcoming, and the breakfast staff were always kind and attentive. The rooms were well equipped with shampoo, conditioner, body wash, a hairdryer, and a mini fridge/mini bar. We never had an issue finding loungers by the pool, and the sunsets from both the balcony and infinity pool were absolutely incredible. There is also a pool bar serving a great assortment of blended drinks, local beers, craft beers, and hard liquor available for an additional charge — perfect for relaxing by the pool and enjoying the view. Breakfast was good overall and fairly consistent each day. They served scrambled eggs, coffee, juices, yogurt, cereal, fresh fruit, and pastries and of course gallo pinto. The hotel shuttle was a great perk, running hourly from 9am–9pm to downtown Tamarindo and the Langosta Beach Club. We often walked into town, but the hills on the way back can definitely be a workout in the heat. The Langosta Beach Club was another huge highlight and an amazing included amenity. It’s right on the beach with a beautiful pool."
