Luxury Hotels in Costa Rica

"Beautiful hotel. Comfortable beds. Great bar and restaurant. Hand towel holder fell off the wall, though. A bit of a longer drive to the airport than expected. Other than that, no complaints. "

"Excellent location for booking excursions! The hot tubs are superb for relaxing after a whole day of hiking. Breakfast is superb! "

"We really enjoyed the property. Would definitely recommend to others and would stay again. "

"I am very through when it comes to trips. If you are a solo traveler or even looking for a family vacation . This is a good place to stay. Pros: - The hotel staff is very kind and helpful. Even the workers fixing up the hotel. Easy to show you where to go if needed. - It is safe ! The resort is gated and there is security that checks cars and vans coming in and out. I saw a comment about someone losing money from their room. The resorts’ gate security checks employees belongings before leaving work. - Food choices are pretty good for all inclusive. They have an omelette bar in the mornings where you can pick your choice of fixings for the cook to make. So yummy !! - I did not book excursions prior to my trip because I felt I would get better deals at the resort and I did !! There are different companies at the resorts that offer many excursions. I went on the volcano sight seeing / hike with a mud bath . It was an experience I will never forget. - Souvenirs: The resort has amazing shops to buy souvenirs, however I love how the local merchants were allowed on the resort on the beach. You are able to negotiate prices with them. Some can be more aggressive to sell than others. Con’s: There’s no true nightlife at the resorts, except a mini club on the outskirts and the shows the resorts have a 9pm nightly. - BUGS ! I made sure to lock my screen door at night because the creatures come out at night. I still ended with a beetle in my room. Overall a good vacay spot "

"Clean, good food, very nice staff."

"Marco (bartender) and Norby (tour guide) are fantastic! They significantly improved our experience. The hotel is beautiful and we would absolutely stay again. "

" The breakfasr was amazing! Very nice pool area also."

"We had great service at the Star Pool!! Yeraly Morales took great care of us!! He went above and beyond to make sure we were having a great time. Lots of things to do and different restaurants. Tony (our personal agent) was great too."

"We stayed in a junior suite plus with a beautiful view of the volcano. Our patio looked out on a gorgeous manicured garden. Every staff member we met was friendly, kind and helpful. Although there are no cooking facilities, there is a fairly good size fridge which came in handy. We were able to purchase simple lunch ingredients from the Maxi Pali that we took with us on hikes. Would recommend Arenal 1968 and El Mirador Silencio hikes. Also loved the Bogarin Trail Sloth tour, the night tour at Arenal oasis, the free hot springs, and zip lining and walking the hanging bridges at Sky Adventures. "
