Welcome to Planet Hollywood Costa Rica!

Of course, one of the main draws to Costa Rica is its glorious Pacific coast beaches. Yet, the tiny country boasts some of the world's finest wildlife reserves.

The Central American country is home to exotic birds, amphibians, and reptiles. National parks and protected territories cover more than one-quarter of the country. As part of some of these parks, there are also active volcanoes.

The northwestern region of Guanacaste is home to mountain ranges surrounding the resort. And, of course, abundant sea life awaits off the miles of coastline.

The property nestles into the hillside nearby in Guanacaste on the Papagayo Peninsula. Its unique location provides all the seclusion that all-inclusive delivers. The resort is close enough to all the daytime excursions that Costa Rica is famous for.

You can choose to take a local taxi to the resort. But we loved the idea of renting a full-sized SUV and driving there.

A thirty-minute drive North on Route 253 takes you to Playa Manzanillo. It's that simple, and then you have transportation at hand for those trips to the beauty of all Costa Rica.

Most of your hosts in tourism speak English. But to enjoy some of the authentic flavors of Costa Rican culture, learning a little Spanish will help a lot.

The people of Guanacaste recite four-line poems called Bombas. They get spoken much like limericks, are often very amusing.

Guests who have recently stayed are very impressed with the professional staff. The experience at Planet Hollywood Costa Rica gets a rating of 4.5 overall.

People raved about the ease of getting reservations at some of the best dining experiences. And the upgrade to Star Class is a big hit with many of the guests. The staff are terrific with handling younger guests and are always accommodating.

Choose from seven restaurants onsite to delight every palate. Reservations are required only at the teppanyaki and sushi restaurant. But if you want specific times at any others, you are welcome to call ahead.

Planet Hollywood brings its tradition of excellent dining options to all-inclusive. Enjoy some of the best burgers anywhere in the world, or chow down Italian style. You can't go wrong with the steakhouse or any other themed restaurant.

Three lounge bars offer loads of nightlife entertainment. There is also a beach bar and swim-up pool bar to quench every thirst.

Feel like hanging out in your suite? There's plenty of snack items and available room service with Star Class. And each suite comes with a well-stocked minibar.

Choose from the resort swimming pool and children's pool. Or access the exclusive infinity pool with a Star Class upgrade.

The pool has cabanas available for rent. And there is always the world-class beach right on the property.

Get spoiled in pure luxury at the picturesque PH Spa. You will get pampered at your own pace with a variety of treatments.

You can also opt for a Cryotherapy Treatment, a group of treatments put together with care. The Hydrotherapy Pool is the perfect remedy if all you want is to unwind for an hour each day.

A fully-equipped fitness centre awaits your morning routine. Enroll in an aerobics or yoga class, or help yourself to complimentary watercraft. Is there a better way to get those muscles working than out on the ocean?

You might want to save that energy for dancing the night away with DJs at the music lounge. Some evenings also feature local music, which always gets everyone's feet moving.

Choose to upgrade with the Star Class service, and it begins with a stocked minibar in your room with snacks and drinks. Right outside, the infinity pool is exclusive to Star Class guests.

With Star Class, you will get assigned a personal agent to look after your every need. They will arrange meal reservations or cabana rentals available at the infinity pool.

Bring out your kid's inner artist with fun lessons in movie-making. At PH Star Kids Club, your younger family members get the Hollywood experience. Open your child's imagination with tips on acting or behind-the-camera techniques.

They can try on movie wardrobe and makeup. And everyone loves the movie night under the stars experience.

Stay connected while you stay at Planet Hollywood Costa Rica. The PH Mobile App lets you play your personal soundtrack anywhere on the grounds.

The app also helps you find whatever you are looking for with interactive maps of the resort. Of course, 24/7 wi-fi is what part of staying connected with Plugged In is all about.

Take a dream tour of the coast on the Marlin del Rey catamaran. While aboard, you can snorkel and watch for sea turtles and dolphins. You might even catch sight of a whale before the sun sets on the Pacific horizon.

This hike along the Blue River will give you a clear idea of the actual Jurassic world long ago. Views of waterfalls and stunning scenes of hummingbirds wait for your eyes. Toucans and butterflies mingling in an incredible setting makes this one of our favorite excursions.

Hop on a Jet Ski and power your way across the shoreline. Ride out to a designated area where you can explore sea life at your leisure.

Jet skis are the perfect machine for the adrenaline fanatic. When finished exploring sea life, speed back across the waves to get your heart pumping.

If ziplining is the thing to get your adrenaline going, there are 13 platforms with ten cables waiting. Fling across the top of the forest and watch for spider and howler monkeys as you pass.

If you like a slower approach to the rain forest, try out one of 16 hanging bridges. There's also a mountain water slide for excitement. But if that's too much, there is always a relaxing horseback ride through the jungle.

Want the whole Costa Rica experience at once? Go ziplining or bridge walking above crocodile-infested waters. And if that doesn't do it, take a hike along the trail on the forest floor.

Then, when it's time for a rest, have a snack in a hammock swinging 100 feet above the ground.

The ultimate zipline experience has you soaring like an airplane across the jungle. Look down if you dare as you sail over the treetops at breakneck speed.

The view of fauna and birdlife is spectacular with this five-star adventure.
