Top Santa Cruz Hotel Reviews

Occidental Papagayo - Adults Only - All inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"The property was georgious! The staff was fantastic and the views were absolutely amazing. I went on the catamaran tour and it was absolutely amazing. "

The Westin Reserva Conchal, an All-Inclusive Golf Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"The property is beautiful, the scenery and the beach at walking distance is the most beautiful beach I have seen. The rooms are clean, the staff were friendly and so welcoming. Costa Rica really is Pura Vida, the country and the people."

Hotel Riu Palace Costa Rica - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"I was skeptical about staying here at first based on the reviews they appeared to be a hit and miss. If you want luxury this may not be the place for you. We were there for a short time not a long time and it was suitable for my needs. The room is just what you see online. The only complaint is that the first night it was a bit warm. After that it was right on time. The rooms were cleaned every day.I wished they had decorated my room for my birthday but that was okay. The view was very nice and I shouted from the balcony on my birthday. The staff were friendly. I saw reviews about the language barrier, please be patient, they will find someone to help you. We had no issues with staff speaking English. I enjoyed the inside and outside bar. Brenda, Felipe, Bryan, Juan, are just a few that made my birthday so memorable! The breakfast and dinner was very good. Lunch was mid. Overall I enjoyed my stay and so did the group I was with. Find Carlos for a great spa service. My massage by Jaqueline was amazing. There is plenty to do here. If you need a sign to book here do it! Although the new site next door is opening October 4. I will be back soon. Thank you Rui! "

Jardín del Edén Boutique Hotel - Adults Only

10/10 Excellent

"Loved my stay. Enjoyed the luxurious room with a jacuzzi on my terrace. Everyone at the hotel was so nice. Service was excellent especially in the restaurant. The food was so tasty and presented so beautifully. The only thing I would suggest is if they had some nightly entertainment. "

Azura Beach Resort - All Inclusive - Adults Only

10/10 Excellent

"What a wonderful resort. The beds were comfortable the air conditioning appreciated and the staff are very friendly and welcoming. Also, when you stay at an all inclusive resort it can tend to have mediocre food. That was not the case with this property. Our lunches and dinners were fantastic and it just added to our trip being delicious and relaxing!"
