Luxury Hotels in Cabo Velas, Guanacaste

"**Hôtel Margaritaville – Avis** Hôtel **très propre**, autant pour les chambres que pour les aires communes. L’ambiance est **très calme et relaxante** : dès **22 h**, tout est tranquille. Aucun party ni discothèque, parfait pour se reposer. L’animation est minimale, avec des activités douces comme le bingo et l’aquaforme. La **plage est située juste en face de l’hôtel**. C’est une superbe plage publique de **sable blanc**, sans algues ni roches, idéale pour marcher (jusqu’à **2 km**). La nourriture est bonne et le **buffet déjeuner est très apprécié**. Plusieurs restaurants se trouvent aussi à proximité. L’hôtel est à environ **30 minutes en taxi de Tamarindo**. **Points négatifs** : * Il n’y a pas de palapas sur la plage. * Il faut demander des chaises au gardien de sécurité ; elles sont peu confortables. * Les **vélos et petites planches pour la mer sont payants**. * La mer est **très agitée**, avec des vagues fortes, ce qui peut être moins agréable pour la baignade."

"From the moment we arrived at the hotel, the staff were super unfriendly & not helpful. They did not make eye contact. We asked several staff members where we could find towels & they could only point towards the massive pool. The beach is completely full of people selling things like nothing I’ve ever seen & the vendors are very aggressive in soliciting you. The pool is extremely uninviting with cups and trash left around the pool and the bathroom unusable because it was so dirty. This hotel does not meet normal Westin standards. Thankfully we were able to move to the W next door where everything was wonderful, clean & the staff were amazing and friendly. Rosa made the moving process extremely difficult since she was trying to charge us twice after we were told we would get a full refund for the Westin. Luckily, it was straightened out by the helpful staff at the W. During our stay at the W, we ran into guests of the Westin who were buying day passes at the W for all of the same reasons as noted above - right down to the towels,"

"kind staff, lovely rooms & pool, classic costa rican hotel"

"Wonderful staff! Excellent place to stay!! So close to everything "

"This was our second year coming to the Rip Jack villas and it was an excellent stay. Hotel staff was very kind and courteous. Rooms were clean and kept clean daily. The food in the hotel was delicious; we’re still debating who among us had the best meals. This year we traveled with a larger group and everyone had a great time. We will definitely be back next year!"
