Planet Hollywood, on Culebra Bay in Papagayo
Planet Hollywood is a Hollywood-themed all-inclusive resort on a secluded beach on Culebra Bay, in the Gulf of Papagayo. It suits families and groups of friends who want lots going on, kids' clubs and a different restaurant every night, close to Liberia airport.
The theme runs through everything, from the suite names to the kids' activities, and the bay and the forest are the backdrop.
Why we choose it
- Made for families. There is no minimum age, and the Star Kids Club and Splash Kids Zone keep children busy while the adults take a break.
- Seven restaurants and five bars. With 7 restaurants and 5 bars, nobody has to eat in the same place twice in a week.
- Every room is a suite. From the Junior Suites to the Star Class Producer's Suite, there is room for a couple, a family or a group.
Rooms and views
The Junior Suites come with a king bed or two queens. The Star Class Junior Suite Ocean View adds the bay in front of you.
For more space, the Star Class Director's Suite has a private lounge area and a large terrace, and the Star Class Producer's Suite, the biggest, has a living room and bedrooms for a family or friends travelling together.
On the property
The resort has 7 restaurants and 5 bars, several swimming pools and PUMPED Fitness, a gym for anyone keeping up their routine on holiday. For children, the Splash Kids Zone is the water play area, and the Star Kids Club runs activities through the day.
Between the beach and the pools, the rest of Guanacaste is close: zip lining, horseback riding, snorkeling and sailing on the bay.
Location and getting there
Planet Hollywood is on Culebra Bay in Papagayo, in Guanacaste, close to Liberia airport, which makes it an easy first or last stop on a trip. Check-in is at 15:00 and check-out at 12:00.
At least one guest in each room must be 18 or over, so tell us who is travelling and we will match the suite to the group.
