Best Hotels in Guanacaste, Costa Rica

You may have seen my National Geographic article about why Guanacaste is a great place to visit during green season. It’s a region of Costa Rica that I adore and return to frequently. Here are some of my favorite places to stay.

Close to the Liberia airport

Some of my favorite places to stay in Guanacaste, all within an hour of the Daniel Oduber Quirós International Airport (also known as the Guanacaste or Liberia airport) in Liberia.

• Four Seasons Resort Peninsula Papagayo

• Andaz Peninsula Papagayo

• Rio Perdido

• Hacienda Hotel Guachipelin certified gluten-free

• Las Catalinas (it can take over an hour to reach Las Catalinas, depending on traffic, weather, and road conditions. But it’s well worth the extra time!)
