"Honest review for Planet Hollywood Costa Rica I would give this resort a 7/10 overall. This was a solo trip for me, and I stayed with the Star Class package. Honestly, I do think Star Class was kind of worth it because all I had to do was text my butler and tell him what I wanted to do for the day or during my stay, and he made it happen immediately. My helper was Ariel, and I absolutely loved him! We even had the same birthday 😭. I booked an excursion last minute, and he handled it right away with no issues. He also got me $50 off at the spa, which I appreciated. The reason I gave the resort a 7/10 is because, in my opinion, an all-inclusive resort should already include premium top-shelf liquor for everyone. I don’t think guests should have to pay extra or book Star Class just to get premium drinks and better service. That part should come standard throughout the resort. One thing I did love was that Ariel booked my restaurant reservations every day, which made everything stress-free. The Five Guys burgers there were so good, and the buffet was honestly amazing. I also loved the bartenders they were making me special drinks the whole trip, and I was definitely feeling good 😭. They were friendly, fun, and added to the experience. As for the restaurants: * Gusto was a solid 7/10. * The steakhouse was honestly a 4/10 for me. My steak came out rare when I requested medium rare, and the mac and cheese plus the spinach were not good at all. * The Mexican restaurant was"

"Waited a while before actually leaving a review because i wanted to be as honest as possible without being biased. First and foremost the property is huge and well maintained. The property was boring, i don’t know if it was because of the season but it was absolutely boring nothing to do at all. By the 2nd night i was over it. The views are beautiful and my kids enjoyed the pool. Love going to the beach. The food was absolutely horrible. Minimal variety at the buffet and i was literally starving every day. I stayed 5nights and payed for the all inclusive package for 2days and i am glad i didn’t pay the whole time because i was left starving after each meal. Most of the times i had to leave property to get a meal because it was a no no at the buffet. I will not say not to purchase The all inclusive package because that would be biased but try it out for a day before going the whole stay if you know what i mean. Wasn’t worth it for me personally. All in all i would rate my experience at a 5/10 and the 5 was for the staff and how great they are. Subtract for food, boredom, etc. all in all i could have stayed 2 nights instead of 5 got the whole experience after 1 day ehhh"
