Best all-inclusive resort vacations in Costa Rica

All-inclusive resorts make vacation planning easy. Everything you need – place to stay, meals, activities, entertainment – is included in one price. You don't have to worry about the details, hidden extras or going over budget. Going to an all-inclusive resort is truly a no-worry vacation.

All-inclusive resorts in Costa Rica have been around for years, but the concept is booming. Major international hotel chains are now in the country, and almost all of Costa Rica's all-inclusive resorts are located at popular beach destinations. Whether you are looking for family-friendly or adults-only, Costa Rica offers many all-inclusive resort vacation choices.

The Papagayo Gulf, in Costa Rica's northern Pacific Guanacaste region, is one of the most popular vacation destinations in the country. Dazzling blue ocean, sun-kissed beaches, gently rolling coastal mountains creating secluded coves, bays and islands – all add up to tropical paradise. The setting is home to no less than four all-inclusive resorts.

The beautiful Playa Conchal (Shell Beach) in Guanacaste, Costa Rica, gets its name and its fame from its dazzling grainy white-sand beach composed of millions of crushed shells. With clear turquoise waters, it makes an impressive setting for swimming or snorkeling.
