"Firstly, let me say that the staff there are their biggest asset. I couldn’t fault the staff in any way. They were friendly and warm. Offered help will all services like tours or fun places to go or local food or taxis to the airport etc etc. she always greeted me and wanted to have a conversation about my day (as a solo traveller, that’s nice, as most the time can be spent alone). She seemed to care that I had a fun time there and did her best to help me enjoy my time. The downsides are just a few things with noise, it’s quite close to main road and the windows are super thin. Was woken up a few times. Also the communal areas can be quite close to rooms and you don’t appreciate people smoking, drinking, talking loudly outside your door whether it’s 4pm or 4am!"

At Hilton Garden Inn Guanacaste Aeropuerto, we offer comfortably equipped rooms and an atmosphere of relaxation and warmth in services provided, providing a memorable experience. In addition, the hotel is conveniently located in front of Liberia International Airport. Enjoy easy access to attractions, including splendid beaches, the Monteverde National Park, and the majestic Arenal Volcano, among other destinations.

"This is your typical Hilton hotel you would find in America, honestly if you just came here you would think you are back home. Also, they have amenities such a restaurant, pool and fitness room at this hotel. Restaurant food is okay, nothing like the food you have probably have enjoyed while traveling around Costa Rica. Lastly, the room was clean and standard, no fuss! It is also very close to all the rental car return places. Breakfast is not included with reservation, it is something you pay out of pocket. Overall, very great option for someone traveling in or out of Liberia Intl Airport."

Hotel Boyeros

8,1/10
Very Good
Posted on Oct 27, 2023

Had a 2nd floor balcony room (206) x 2 nights. Pros outweighed the cons: very helpful, nice workers; strong shower water pressure; great mattresses; fabulously cool and quiet A/C; decent Wi-Fi; lovely natural grounds with birdsong amid exquisite sparkling pools; nice breakfast buffet included with room; Santa Rosa Plaza across the road with a fine grocery store and a great crepe cafe, among others. Cons: a lot of truck and car noise on highway as others have said; traffic congestion in Liberia during the main part of the day; and noise from people in the pool area late into the night. But I’d totally want to stay at Boyeros again - for the real Costa Rican experience - ear plugs not to be forgotten.

Tamarindo is a fun beach town, lots of restaurants and of course the beach. The pros: incredible view, free shuttle to the town, access to the Langosta Beach Club, helpful staff. The cons: location a little far from town, can’t walk it. And the BIG con were the locusts. They were everywhere, especially at night. This are huge (8-10 inch) insects that look like huge grasshoppers. My kids freaked out because these things fly around and land on you sometimes. The Wyndham staff can’t control it, but they are helpful to remove them from your door. If you’re grossed out by large insects, just be aware.

The Golden Palms resort in Papagoya is heavily. The staff are outstanding and kind. The pool is so clean and big. It’s so big it never feels crowded. The rooms were clean and had a mini fridge, which was great. We appreciated the complimentary breakfast but it would be nice if the menu varied from day to day. I highly recommend The Golden Palms resort. We’ve been there twice and will return again.
