Hostels in Costa Rica

"The room was clean, the only gripe I have is there wasn’t a microwave in the room and getting a reply for the shuttle service was lacking. I ended up just getting an uber from the airport which took close to an hour, but that’s San Jose traffic at rush hour. Overall the stay was really great and I enjoyed the experience I had. I would absolutely stay there again. Breakfast was awesome and I recommend getting it included in your package and the executive lounge was cozy and the food was pretty decent all things considered. The happy hour is worth it alone and getting free drinks makes it all the more worth the money."

"This was me and my family's first time in Costa Rica, this property was so beautiful and in the middle of all the activities. Loved it and will visit again and recommend to freinds and family."

"DO NOT BOOk THIS HOTEl!!! This hotel is the worse hotel I have ever been. Do not have restaurant only a salad bar and all the food is exposed to the flies. The only bar open has a ice chest that is rusted and all the flies are around the ice chest. Everything is so gross and filthy. Please don’t make the same mistake I made. We booked this hotel and had to be transferred to another hotel we didn’t even stay 1hr. DO NOT GET THIS HOTEL 1-10, I rate it a 0. "

"Older property but still nice. Rough drive getting up the hill to it."

"Breakfast was very good. The staff were friendly but we found service to be slow (everywhere not just Diria). The pools were very nice and beach is great. The resort is in a great location. The rooms were unimpressive and the whole place is showing it's age a little but we would recommend this place. Very safe and easy to book excursions etc. "

"Hotel was beyond expectations Really liked the Mexican restaurants downstairs by the bar , breakfast buffet is also worth it . You can get coffee , juices etc and it comes with so many options for $20 per person it’s early tho from 6-10am Would have like it to end at least an hour later . Also the coffee shop the coffee was so good and so were their pastries So convenient to have for early coffee sips for the early birds ! "

"I stayed at this hotel many times in the the past landing in Liberia Airport and it has been a decent stay. My most recent stay I booked a standard king room but when I arrived they said that they no longer have the room I booked and offered a renovated double room on the top floor which I took. I arrived at 3pm and there was a line to check in and the process seemed to take extremely long despite having all three check-in desks operating. The renovated room was definitely much nicer than their aging rooms, but the water pressure was very weak and the water was neither hot or cold. There are a few good restaurants and cafés within a 5 minute walk which were a plus."

"The property is beautiful!! Check in was a challenge as they wanted us to use the Riu App which did not work for us. Finally we received physical key cards. Our room was also lovely. Housekeeping was a bit hit and miss when it came to re-stocking towels. Sometimes we were only given two bath towels and we went without hand towels or facecloths. However in using the Riu app we were able to notify housekeeping and the next day the towel situation was resolved. The mini bar service is only restocked every other day. On day 3 of our stay, I saw the tiny notification in the bathroom that the water is non-potable. Yikes!! Given that the bathroom water is non-potable, we had to request additional water daily through the Riu App. The only restaurant on the property that takes reservations is the Steak House. We were able to reserve for 2 nights. The first night our reservation was at 7 pm. The servers were excellent but were definitely geared to get us in/out as quickly as possible. We asked for the menus but instead were directed to a qr code. The meal was rushed although we did our best to try and relax. However after dessert at about 8:15 we had a very stressed ‘hostess’ come to our table and ask if we’d had dessert. We said yes it was delicious. She said why are you still here? I said do you want us to leave? She said Yes!! So we did!!"
