JW Marriott Guanacaste Beach Resort ★★★★★

Los Altos de Eros - Adults Only ★★★★

"I’ve been to many spas and this was one of the best spa experiences, especially for the price. The spa itself was clean and beautiful and the natural outdoor setting just made it so easy to relax. The staff was very friendly and all of my treatments were top notch, especially the massage. My group of girlfriends finished our experience with lunch and dessert at the spa. If I come back to Costa Rica, I will definitely be coming back here."

Villas VR Beachwalk Avellanas ★★★

"The villas are very cozy. The bedrooms are separate within the villa, and only one has a bathroom. The villas are close to the beach, but you have to cross a mangrove swamp to get there, and you have to pay attention to the tide."

Cabinas Las Olas ★★★

"Cabinas Las Olas was an incredible stay!! My boyfriend and I are already talking about when we want to come back. The rooms are spacious and have everything you need for a solid surf trip. Each of the cabins (or at least most) have a nice little deck with a hammock and some chairs. The rooms had a A/C and daily cleaning service. The receptionists worked not only as hotel receptionists, but also has the hotel staff that managed the surf shop, bar tenders, and also restaurant servers. The staff were all very were very kind and friendly. We loved the dynamic of the Cabinas Los Olas. All very down to earth people that just loved to surf. The hotel also has their own private wooden deck that connects to the beach, which made it very convenient to surf. Lastly, the hotel also booked our surfing lessons for Avenallas Soul Surf School us, which was a great recommendation as well and connected us to a great instructor, Julio. The hotel also booked us a taxi driver as well to help get leave Avellanas. Overall, highly recommend this stay if you are looking for a great surfing trip and can’t wait to go back and stay at Cabinas Las Olas!!!!"

SoulShine ★★★

"We spent an amazing week at SoulShine Hotel! Within seconds of arriving you can feel the relaxed, positive and chill vibe. It takes zero effort to ease into this beautiful, authentically serene jungle setting and unwind. The staff could not have been friendlier or more accommodating, and the owners are present and genuinely make every guest feel like an old friend. The atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and full of good energy. The renowned restaurant exceeded expectations with the incredible breakfast/brunch and the delicious tapas dinners. Whether we were lounging in our hut, relaxing by the pool with a glass of wine, or exploring Playa Avellanas, every day felt effortless. What an authentic, reasonably priced experience! With an incredible local feel, SoulShine is something special. Highly recommended—we're already planning our next visit."
