Here are my favorite all-inclusive hotels in Guanacaste. All of these have amazing views, great food, and even better views. They are worth the price. All of these work well to celebrate honeymoons, birthdays, or other special events. Some of the hotels provide paid childcare services while others are adult-only.

Why should you choose Occidental Papagayo? It’s one of the few all-inclusive, adult-only resorts in Guanacaste, Costa Rica, offering a seamless blend of convenience and opulence.

Occidental Papagayo is a haven of tranquility and indulgence conveniently located near the airport, making your journey from the arrival gate to paradise seamless and stress-free. The rooms are spacious, with ocean views and access to a private lounge. The mini-bar is refreshed every 24-hour room service.

The Westin Reserva Conchal, an All-Inclusive Luxury Golf Resort & Spa in Guanacaste
The major selling point of the Westin Reserva Conchal is its tubs. They bring the Bali vibes to Costa Rica. This hotel epitomizes the pinnacle of all-inclusive luxury resorts. Whether golfing on the championship course, unwinding with spa treatments, or partaking in water sports and cultural excursions, guests are enveloped in a world of leisure and adventure.
Luxury Hotel: Margaritaville Beach Resort Playa Flamingo
Margaritaville is great for couples celebrating anniversaries, honeymoons, and other special occasions. The beds were some of the best I experienced in Costa Rica. I love that they have a small movie theatre on the property. Margaritaville gave me the break I needed.
There are multiple restaurants on the property so you’ll have lots to choose from. This place is perfect if you want a relaxing vacation, and leaving the resort is optional. They have everything you need!
Planet Hollywood Costa Rica, An Autograph Collection All-Inclusive Resort: Family Friendly
Most of the all-inclusive hotels in Costa Rica are geared towards adults. But Planet Hollywood had a kiddie pool equipped with slides and sprinklers. They also have a children’s room and lots of kid-friendly activities. they even offer babysitting services so that you can enjoy a private cabana. I think this is the perfect hotel for those wanting a family-friendly all-inclusive resort.
Villas Sol Beach Resort – All Inclusive
Only a 20-minute drive from the airport, Villas Sol Beach has gorgeous mountain and ocean views. If you get tired of enjoying all of their amenities head to the beach for some on-site water activities like paddle boarding and snorkeling. If you love hiking and the outdoors, a quick nature walk is only a few minutes away.
Although it’s close to the airport, you may want to book your taxi in advance. Uber is not very reliable. It’s not fully legal in all areas of Costa Rica yet but they may change in the future.
CC Beach Front Papagayo All Inclusive
The service at CC Beach Front is marvelous! They hand-brew local coffee and offer some of the freshest fruits during breakfast. But my favorite part of this all-inclusive is the beautiful hotel grounds. I’m a sucker for cute balconies and they delivered!
