I honestly don’t understand how this resort is rated a 4-star property. This was the most disappointing travel experiences I’ve had.
There is essentially no WiFi anywhere on the resort, which is unacceptable in this day and age.
The rooms were extremely run down. The TV remotes didn’t work, we were constantly dealing with fire ants, and there were basically no standard amenities — no mini fridge, no iron, no coffee maker, nothing. It felt very bare and poorly maintained.
The towels were disgusting. What were supposed to be white towels were gray, stained, old, and rough. Completely unacceptable from a cleanliness standpoint.
The biggest issue was the food. The resort advertises multiple restaurants, a snack bar, but in reality, there was one buffet serving the same food every single day and it was terrible. My wife wouldn’t eat it, and even my 4 & 5 year-old kids refused the food. We basically survived on soggy French fries for an entire week. That alone should tell you everything.
For comparison, I’ve stayed at all-inclusive resorts in Mexico, Jamaica, the Dominican Republic (multiple times), & Saint Martin every one of them was miles better than this place.
This resort is run down and on the verge of going out of business. I genuinely cannot understand how it qualifies as a 4-star resort.
Costa Rica itself is beautiful, the people are wonderful but I strongly recommend staying somewhere else
To any Americans reading this: stay clear of Condovac La costa.
