Santa Cruz (Guanacaste) Hotels

Great location. Friendly staff. Prompt to respond to requests. Exceptionally good food- surprise: buffet food was actually better than restaurants options. Lots of fun excursions and activities. VERY CLEAN BEACH! Night time shows were fun and good quality. Beds were clean and very comfortable.

Near impossible to make restaurants reservation. Rooms would need more thorough cleaning and generally need updating. No privacy - all bathroom doors are see-through!

Room service was poor.

My family and I (husband and two kids) visited Barcelo Langosta All Inclusive Resort in Dec/Jan 2013. Everything about the place was fabulous. The staff were excellent and very accommodating. We can't say enough about the Entertainment staff, particularly the Entertainment Director, Joaquin was the best face of Costa Rica. Both he and his staff work tirelessly around the clock to provide guests a pleasant and fun environment. We'd highly recommend this place as a family oriented vacation. Costa Rica is a beautiful country and we look forward to visiting new places in the future.

Family vacation with 2 teens. Such a wonderful country. We were very happy with the hotel. The entire Staff was very freindly and helpful, food was great, lots of variety at every meal, rooms kept very clean. Drinks were good and we never had a problem getting served. Beautiful grounds, awesome pool, all very clean. The beach was great at low tide. My son had a blast boogie boarding and riding the 'lazy river' that flowed from the beach to the ocean. The Beach was small and too rocky at high tide so we did not go on then. Little crabs kept getting into the room but my kids loved them, it made us laugh. Room was large but could use a bit more furniture. Cleaning staff did a great job changing out towels, cleaning & straightened, and even organized all our shoes each day. Jose took us on a tour of the grounds and made sure we had plenty of bottled water in our room. Location was good, 25 min walk to town. Really cute town but not cheap. We booked several tours with Jussy who works for TAM and has a desk at the hotel. She was very nice and helpful and all the tours were a blast. We have travelled all around the world and this was one of our top vacations ever. We will defenitley be back to the Barcelo Langosta Beach.

We had a room right by pool. We were assured the pool would be closed at 10:00 pm. People kept us up until 3:00 am. A few hours later it was loud people outside the door and shortly thereafter were cleaning ladies with trash cans making their rounds. It was horrible. I didn't stay the other two nights I booked and was told they weren't responsible for returns since I purchased with a third party. When my third party tried to reach them, they didn't answer all day.

I really liked the location of the hotel, even though it wasn't directly on the beach. But it was right in front, less than a 10 minute walk!! The pool area has a beautiful view of the beach to relax and enjoy. The reception office is a bit of a walk to get to but they are all helpful. They gave me advice regarding traveling by bus. The room is nicely decorated and the shower is pretty big! The bed was a tad small but overall great room.

I didn't like that you couldn't order room service, or I did not know how. I also didn't like the size of the bed but I understand I booked by third party so bed type isn't guaranteed.

Great Location

Location,location ,location Food was great

A/c was very weak even after staff adjusted it. Beds outdated

The staff was very nice and the pool area pretty chill

The B&B is located on a back street (dirt road) which is pretty creepy by night. I was told it was ok but I didn't feel ok walking after dark there. The room was nice but some of the finishing were not well done (holes where bugs crawled under)

Beautiful views on the coast, the facility was wonderful and had great service. Rooms were large enough for four of us to share for a week.

The resort is far from just about everything else. It's a 15 minute ride to the nearest town and $7 per person each way for a shuttle. All the adventures are at least a 2 hour bus ride, or more.

Nothing

The place was disgusting, I should had listen to reviews bout rooms not being clean but I gave it the benefit of doubt. First the pillows had hair on them, the towels in the bathroom were like stain with paint or something and worse part is the bathroom smelled like week old sweaty clothes( not exaggerating). There was a shirt hanging on curtains from previous guest. There was a fridge but it didn't work! I left the place, there was no way I could sleep there let alone shower and use those towels. The pics are deceiving and I don't know who reviewed this place but my experience was. Awful!

It is very close to the beach. It is not expensive. It is clean.

Perfect location, great restaurant, great staff Brian, Henry, Michael ETC. highly recommend this place.

No complaints whatsoever which is rare for me :)

Kevin and the staff were fantastic. From start to end they were so welcoming, helpful, and friendly. The breakfast every morning really started the day out correctly. So good! The rooms are amazing and the whole chill, chic, vibe of the place made for a great complement to the Tamarindo experience. A little oasis from the beach and the town.

Seeming complaint at first is really a strength; little tricky to get to but the map they provide is immensely helpful. Nice that it's a street or two away from the main strip.

Really charming place and really helpful staff. Great value. WOuld go back for sure.
