Guest Houses in Guanacaste

"Perfect for just catching flights, but also great for staying a couple of days. Nice atmosphere for a solo traveler like me, feels like home and not "alone". The gift shop guy was awesome and it was nice to have a fluent conversation in English and his genuine interest & knowledge about place around the world. Well done!"

"I love everything about this hotel. The only bad thing was that the mattress was pretty bad. Very uncomfortable to sleep. We were not able to sleep good. Everything else was good food, entertainment, workers, facilities, etc.. It will be nice if they can upgrade all the mattress to a better ones because I will go back to this hotel not doubt. "

"Stayed at Condovac la Costa in April. The views are excellent and the pools are a standout—well designed with great scenery and a very relaxing atmosphere. The food was good, and the staff was consistently excellent—friendly, attentive, and helpful throughout the stay. On the downside, several amenities were closed or not operational during the visit, which limited the overall experience. The property also needs more consistent maintenance, as some areas feel worn and not as well kept as expected. Overall, a good stay with strong service and great views, but there’s clear room for improvement on upkeep and availability of amenities."

"My experience at this hotel was completely unacceptable and deeply concerning. From the moment we arrived, the staff displayed a dismissive and unprofessional attitude, particularly when addressing issues that were the result of their own errors. There was no effort made to accommodate or resolve problems—instead, we were consistently ignored or brushed aside. On multiple occasions, we requested assistance and were met with indifference. At one point, we called the front desk for help and the call was abruptly disconnected. It became increasingly clear that we were not being treated with the same level of respect or attention as other guests, which made the situation even more troubling. The conditions of the property were also far below standard. There was no effective bug or fly control, and the absence of air conditioning in extremely hot weather made the stay highly uncomfortable. The food quality was extremely poor, forcing us to spend significant additional money elsewhere just to have proper meals. Attempts to resolve concerns were consistently unsuccessful. Staff would speak among themselves in a way that excluded us from understanding the conversation, and no meaningful solutions were ever provided. When asking about transportation, we were directed toward services that appeared unreliable and significantly overpriced. Even more alarming were the privacy and security issues. Despite clearly displaying a “Do Not Disturb” sign, staff entered our room without permis"

"Outdoor pool was lovely after a day of travel and so close to the airport."

"The Diriá is fabulous! I’ve seen there twice over the last year and I can tell you firsthand. It is the best hotel in town. Everything is walkable but really you don’t even need to go outside the resort they have everything. The location is perfect. The staff is amazing. The buffet is the best in town. I cannot say enough good things about the Diria."

"El personal muy amable, las políticas del hotel muy malas llegué 30 minutos antes del check in y me dijeron que si quería entrar antes de las 3 (30 minutos faltaban) debía pagar $15 por persona. Después de mí llegaron 2 parejas de extranjeros y si pudieron entrar y de gratis. Le pregunté a la Srta y me dijo que los extra y si pueden entrar antes y de gratis, los nacionales no."

"This is a gorgeous property but not as all inclusive as you'd think for the price.They try to get you to a timeshare meeting when you arrive but they aren't too pushy. Then, as you go, you find out there are a lot of "yes, buts". For example, we asked a bartender if we could take a bottle of wine back to our room with us and he said yes just call room service. So we did and they said the limit was 2 glasses and it would be a 45 minute wait. The staff were friendly but you had to pay mucho out of pocket to get all-inclusive type service. Will look for another resort next time we go back. Costa Rica is beautiful and has great culture. Not as cheap as say, Mexico, but paradise. "

"Could not get the hot water to turn on The knob was not the current one for the cartridge But since it was so hot it did not really matter Room was very clean This was my second time here I am 50 50 on coming back"
