Costa Rica Guanacaste Area & Hotels
I'm looking at a trip to the Guanacaste region. Never been in this area before, wondering if anyone has any input or suggestions.
Also, there are 5 hotels I have seen so far - anyone have any comments for or against any of these?
1) Hotel Riu Guanacaste
2) Hotel Riu Palace
3) Occidental Papagayo
4) Occidental Tamarindo
5) Villas Sol Resort
I see that flights would be into LIR. I'll need to see what transportation options are around as well. I know plenty of transport companies in Mexico but none down here.
Any tips or feedback is much appreciated.

Bump....interested in the region as well. Resorts with beautiful grounds, nice pool area, good beach with swimmable water. Can be Mom and Pop does not have to be a crowded Mega resort. Thx!

Likely a higher price point than what is being discussed here, but we were at the Four Seasons CR last month and had a really good stay. FSPP agent got third night free and upgrade confirmed at booking.
