Santa Cruz (Guanacaste) Hotels

Excellent location, access to beach, pools, included breakfast

Extremely loud and weak air conditioner. Terrible shower with extremely weak water pressure.

You get a little bit of beach and a little bit resort and a little bit local town, all in one great, compact resort...though it is not small by any means. Great breakfast!

Nope. Liked it all a great deal.

We have been to El Sabanero 6 times already and would not consider another location to stay. Harold, Susi, Kurt and Donald make you feel like part of the family and we always leave El Sabanero with new friends with whom we have interacted. The serenity of the lodge in the hills and the proximity of the beaches and activities make this an ideal place to stay when in Costa Rica.

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 TA...
