The best beach stays in Costa Rica!
A beautiful resort this place is perfect for those who want to relax! It's very groomed, if you don't want to go full eco warrior in Costa Rico, this is for you! This is one of the more expensive resorts in Costa Rica and is not all inclusive but is a great option if your budget is a little higher!
Four Seasons Peninsula Papagayo, Costa Rica
This has the same owner as the Four Seasons but is a lot less expensive! The only downside is that they don't have a very good beach on site. HOWEVER, they do have a private beach club you can shuttle to that's a beautiful spot! They have a really gr...
Andaz Costa Rica Resort At Peninsula Papagayo - a Concept by Hyatt
If you're an all inclusive resort person then here is one for you! (I personally love all inclusive resorts). This spot is great for those who love surfing and have a bigger budget (but don't forget the all inclusive pricing) as it's close to the few...
The Westin Reserva Conchal, an All-Inclusive Golf Resort & Spa
A much more affordable option for those who are looking for a good weekend trip. Las Catalinas is a place where you can rent houses, apartments and has a couple of hotels. Santarena is one of the cheaper hotel options.
Santarena Hotel in Las Catalinas, Costa Rica
Adults only, this place is gorgeous! It's just up the hill from Las Catalinas and considered to be in the same area. The pools are amazing. Each room has a plunge pool too! They're known for having great food, it's not all inclusive and requires a ca...
Casa Chameleon at Las Catalinas
This spot belongs in both the beach and rainforest section. It's one of the only spots that gets you the best of both worlds! It's a great price for a beach resort and family friendly! They have some great beaches for beginner surfers. The rooms are ...
Arenas Del Mar Beachfront & Rainforest Resort
This is one of the ultimate beachfront resorts. It's a little further out from the main areas in Costa Rica. It's hard to get to and you should expect to wear a bandana across your face to prevent the dust from the unpaved roads to get here. The food...

Rainforest Stays
A little bit further from the airport are these amazing Rainforest hotels! Get a little bit more in nature with these options!
This place is made with so much intentionality, the rooms are simple, beautiful and designed for sleep. It's about an hour and a half from the airport. There are a ton of activities on site (like the best zip lining experience in Costa Rica). They ha...
Rio Perdido Hotel & Thermal River | Hotel in Guanacaste ...
Close to the border of Nicaragua, this spot is only an hour and a half from the airport. You will need 4 wheel drive if you're driving yourself. It definitely gives more nature and safari feels. I don't recommend for young children. They don't have A...
Origins Luxury Lodge
This place is for those who really want to connect with nature. The activities are amazing, like yoga facing the nearby river. You'll want to fly into San Jose and have someone come pick you up since the best way to get to this spot is via rafting. T...
Rios Tropicales Lodge
Cloud Forest Stays
The Cloud Forest is a lot like the rain forest just a little higher and has less rivers flowing through it but otherwise it's very similar to the Rainforest.
This place is spectacular. They require a plane ride to get in and has an all inclusive (without alcohol) option. They are one of the more expensive resorts in Costa Rica, but if you have the budget for it is 10000% worth it! The spa is amazing, they...
Hacienda AltaGracia, Auberge Resorts Collection
This spot is adults only and a great romantic getaway spot. You can't drive here (which means you get to fly in) This is a spot where you're there to relax and have cocktails. It's in a much lesser known spot in Costa Rica and right by a National Par...
Kura Boutique Hotel
Great for those who want a simple Costa Rican adventure. This spot is more affordable than some of the resorts in the area. It's two hours from the airport, and has amazing staff who are really knowledgable about nature and the area!
Senda Monteverde, Costa Rica: Boutique Cloud Forest Hotel
Tabacon Thermal Resort & Spa is a pretty decent hotel to check when some of the smaller boutique spots are booked up. They have simple rooms that are currently being remodeled. They also have some hot springs on site!
Tabacon Thermal Resort & Spa
Did you know they filmed The Bachelor here? This resort can feel a bit over the top and cheesy, but there's a ton of activities on the property and it's a great spot for families! They do have some complicated room categories so I suggest emailing the reservations department with a makeup of your family/party and having them help you decide the right room since there's a ton of variety.
The Springs Resort & Spa - Luxury Hotels in Arenal
Located at Arenal National Park, this resort has three different room and stay options on site. The Tented Camp is the one that looks the nicest, but is definitely the most expensive, it's family friendly and there are only two of them that have a bi...
