Planet Hollywood Beach Resort Costa Rica

A little Hollywood above the Gulf of Papagayo

At Planet Hollywood Beach Resort Costa Rica, the Pacific setting comes with a theatrical streak. Authentic Hollywood memorabilia, themed restaurants, cafés and bars, and screens showing major sporting events and award shows bring entertainment into the everyday rhythm of an all-inclusive stay. Set on a hillside overlooking the Gulf of Papagayo at Playa Manzanillo, the resort invites you to alternate time along the coast with an afternoon spent enjoying its own lively world.

A resort day with its own entertainment

Begin a resort day at the PUMPED Fitness Center, where professional instructors lead daily classes alongside specialized equipment and a library of celebrity workout videos. Afterward, choose your favorite genre with the Your Soundtrack™ music feature and let the day change pace: a swim, a little entertainment or time to pause before another restaurant evening.

Game rooms offer another place to gather, while Wi-Fi throughout the resort keeps practical plans close at hand. A conference room is available for group needs. For quieter hours, PH Spa uses products including Eminence Organic Skin Care and offers massages, facials, body treatments and a nail bar. The movie-inspired setting can be lively, but a treatment gives you another way to spend your time at the resort.

Families have their own reason to leave time for the resort. The Stars Kids Club provides supervised activities for children aged four and up, including dance parties, gym activities and themed events. Adults can explore the entertainment and dining options while younger guests enjoy their own program.

Themed dining and STAR Class

The room and dining choices are part of the experience, as is the optional STAR Class™ upgrade. Compare those choices before booking so that the suite, services and resort atmosphere suit the vacation you have in mind.

Dining takes you from Guy’s! Burger Joint, with a menu by Guy Fieri, to the So Cal Gourmet Food Emporium’s farm-fresh dishes, hand-crafted baked goods, Japanese ramen, tacos, Korean fusion and American classics. Watch the chefs at East Sushi & Teppanyaki Bar or choose steak—including the “Directors Cut”—and wine at Sunset Strip Steakhouse & Grill in an Old Hollywood setting. Blue Star Tex-Mex Cantina brings fajitas and tequila into the evening; Gusto Italian Trattoria pairs Italian dishes and wines with candlelit tables and black-and-white stills from vintage Italian films. For sports, awards shows, billiards or foosball, Overtime Bar & Grill adds pub food and DJ entertainment.

STAR Class™ is an optional upgrade for travelers who want additional service and private resort spaces. It includes concierge service, a personal rider with your preferred bar labels and snacks in the room, access to the Green Room Lounge and Bar and the exclusive STAR Class™ pool and bar, complimentary hydrotherapy-pool access, and an upgraded room-service menu.

Choose the space for your party

The suites bring the resort’s theatrical character into the accommodation: Phabulous Beds™, blackout curtains, a private balcony or terrace, bathrobes and slippers, PHTV® satellite television, a safe, ironing board, coffee maker and 24-hour room service. Junior Suites cover 611 square feet, with a king or two queen beds, a lounge area and garden or ocean views. Elite Spa bath amenities include ceiling-mounted showers and Jacuzzi tubs.

Director’s Suites provide 966 square feet, with a king or two queen beds, a separate lounge, a large terrace and garden or ocean views. A Jacuzzi tub and ceiling-mounted rain shower make the bathroom another place to unwind.

For a larger party, the 3,110-square-foot Producer’s Suite is available in two-, three- or four-bedroom arrangements with garden or ocean views. Each bedroom has a king or two queen beds, with living and dining rooms, an in-room bar and a lounge with an in-suite liquor dispenser. A dedicated Agent helps with luggage delivery, ironing, shoe shining, spa-tub preparation and dinner reservations.

Outings around Papagayo

Beyond the grounds, Papagayo offers sport fishing and diving, with outings to Rincón de la Vieja for hiking and hot springs or a riverboat safari in Palo Verde National Park. Canopy zip-lining, ATV adventures and jet skiing add other possibilities. The drive from Liberia International Airport takes about 40 minutes, making this an appealing place to settle into the coast without a lengthy airport transfer.
