We just came back from Costa Rica on July 30 and we loved our stay at the Fiesta Premier. This hotel has many small buildings scattered along a hill with two rooms per building rather than one big building. Each room is very private. Our room being up on the hill also had a magnificent ocean view. Where we stayed... More

We stayed at the Fiesta Premier July 16-23 and loved it! We've been to several AI's in Mexico & this is comparable. *Rooms- Rooms are fairly basic, but clean. We had no problems. We didn't spend much time in there anyway. *Food- Not great, but not bad, either. By the end of the trip, it all tasted the same. We... More

When we first arrived at the Fiesta I think we were all a little disappointed that it was not quite as lavish as other all-inclusives. However, after the first day we found it met all our needs for a relaxing vacation. The staff was very friendly and the food wonderful. Plan on gaining a few pounds by the end. We... More

I'm still glowing from our recent trip to the Fiesta Premier- we stayed from May 14th to the 21st, 2005. Our trip was excellent. It was just the two of us, a 23-year-old couple looking for a relaxing week. We booked the all-inclusive package through AppleVacations and had a great experience with them. For those of you looking for a... More

We went down to Costa Rica with a group 6 people total. 4 from Boston and me & my girlfriend from New York City. Quickly, in review we all had a good time there and would go back ... however ... we might be inclined to actually go and stay in Tamarindo. The reason I say this is that we... More

We stayed at Fiesta Priemer 5/7-14/05. We have traveled extensively throughout the US, Europe and South America. This was our second trip to Central America (we have also been to Mexico). We travelled with another couple, our ages ranged from 32-42. The Fiesta Priemer met our expectations. I have read the complaints and I agree that the rooms are somewhat... More

We arranged our wedding here, with a party of 40 people, over 6 months in advance. Their representative called me 2 days before we were to leave to let us know they were cancelling us at their hotel for 3 of the 7 nights of our trip.

We recently visited Fiesta Premier (April 27, 2005 - May 7, 2005) We had a wonderful time. We read all of the reviews and I would ignore the ones regarding the food. The food was great, they give you many choices and remember you are in Costa Rica. The views were fantastic, our room was located in the 400's. Snorkeling... More
