Гуанакастэ, Коста-Рика: отели, где есть СПА

Just returned from our stay at the Planet Hollywood and have mixed feelings.  There were some excellent aspects… but also a few areas for improvement!  Let’s start with the good stuff: Edu (bartender at the lobby bar) was a STAR.  Trust him to make your drinks, just tell him the flavor or preference for liquor) and he will spin you up something completely magical!! We LOVED spending our nights sitting at the bar watching Edu make peoples evenings.  We also loved the included watersports like paddleboarding and kayaking ( unfortunately the big water tricycle was out of order).  The Fuel Coffee bar is also a fabulous addition and great place to escape the heat for a cold coffee.  Now, the negatives - the front desk staff was pretty subpar and didn’t seem to communicate very well - one girl was actually very rude when I was trying to sort out a room situation and I wish I got her name.  The pool drinks are SO bad.  Not sure what type of bottom shelf alcohol they use at pool bar, but we tried so many different drinks and they were all disgusting.  The only thing somewhat drinkable was the Mojito.  I ended up switching to non-alcoholic drinks after day 1 and they were much better at the pool.  Did my real drinking at the lobby bar with Edu in the evenings.  Otherwise, the room was clean - resort was nice and entertainment was entertaining.  The food was decent but the buffet was SO hot and humid without any air conditioning. Overall, this was far from the best all inclusive experience I’ve had, but, we still made the most of it and had a nice time.

Сам по себе это прекрасный, большой и роскошный отель с отличным сервисом. Однако, к сожалению, он в основном ориентирован на любителей вечеринок из Америки. В результате постоянно возникал шум. В первый день нашего пребывания у бассейна проходила вечеринка, многие пили в бассейне, играла очень громкая музыка и диджей. В самый последний день у бассейна с 16:00 до 22:00 был установлен большой экран, на котором показывали игру Суперкубка. Было невероятно шумно. В результате наш ужин в ресторане был неприятным и разочаровывающим. Администрация реагирует позитивно и с готовностью, но это не может компенсировать наш негативный опыт. Вывод: тем, кто ищет роскошный отдых с множеством вечеринок, толпами людей и громкой музыкой, здесь будет хорошо. Но тем, кто приезжает за тихим отдыхом на природе в Коста-Рике, здесь не место!

We had read many great reviews before booking this property, but were a little apprehensive about if it would live up to expectations. Oh yes it did! The staff are friendly, helpful and welcoming and the property is very well maintained. While lounging by the pool, expect a lizard or two and your morning alarm could be the howler monkeys. This property is centrally located allowing you easy access to the beach and town, but the gardens and pool offer pure tranquility. You can physically feel the energy change as you cross the road and walk up the path up from the beach back to your room. There are steps into reception, down to the pool, restaurant and into rooms, so consider this if not mobile. The breakfast buffet was delightful and the evening meal offered two starter, two main and one dessert option that varied each day. The room was big, comfortable, toiletries provided and strong Wi-Fi throughout, even on the beach. We thought this property was great value for money and thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Тамариндо — веселый пляжный городок, много ресторанов и, конечно, пляж. Плюсы: невероятный вид, бесплатный трансфер до города, доступ к пляжному клубу Langosta, услужливый персонал. Минусы: расположение немного далеко от города, пешком не дойти. И БОЛЬШОЙ минус — саранча. Она была везде, особенно ночью. Это огромные (8-10 дюймов) насекомые, похожие на огромных кузнечиков. Мои дети пугались, потому что эти штуки летали вокруг и иногда садились на вас. Персонал Wyndham не может это контролировать, но они помогают убрать их с вашей двери. Если вас отвращают крупные насекомые, просто будьте осторожны.

Great place to stay and visit! We loved everything about Hacienda Guachipelin. The staff was amazing, the pool and poolside bar were lovely, the breakfast and dinner buffets were terrific, and the amenities (hot pools, waterfalls, walking paths) were spectacular. In hindsight, we would have booked a few more days here.

Fabulous !! Beautiful hotel. Staff very accommodating! All as described plus there are lounges on the beach.

We had a good time this place. Food and room were good. We recommend for good times with less money.
