Costa Rica All-Inclusive Vacation Packages

Our all-inclusive packages include hotel stays, in-country transportation, excursions, and three meals a day.

Costa Rica has a limited number of traditional adults-only, all-inclusive resorts, but there are several luxury options for travelers seeking an adults-focused experience. The Westin Reserva Conchal is a luxury, family-friendly all-inclusive resort, but guests staying in the Westin Club have access to a private adults-only pool. The resort itself, however, is not adults-only.
For a more intimate experience, Hotel Three Sixty is an adults-only boutique hotel in the Ojochal area of Costa Rica’s South Pacific region and offers all-inclusive package options. Rancho Pacifico, also located in the South Pacific, is another adults-only luxury boutique hotel offering inclusive packages.

For families looking for a traditional luxury all-inclusive resort, The Westin Reserva Conchal is one of the best options in Costa Rica. Located on Playa Conchal in Guanacaste, the resort offers spacious family accommodations, a large lagoon-style pool, a kids’ pool, the Westin Family Kids Club, multiple restaurants, and activities for both children and adults. The new JW Marriott Costa Elena Resort & Spa is another luxury all-inclusive option for families, with a beachfront setting in Guanacaste, multiple pools and restaurants, a kids’ club, and a variety of resort activities.

Costa Rica also offers a very different kind of all-inclusive family experience. Throughout the country, luxury wilderness lodges offer inclusive packages that may combine accommodations, meals, transportation, and guided adventures. Pacuare Lodge, Lapa Rios Ecolodge, Playa Cativo Lodge, and Tortuga Lodge & Gardens are among the options for families looking to experience Costa Rica’s rainforests, wildlife, rivers, and remote coastlines. Depending on the lodge, activities may include wildlife tours, guided hikes, rafting, snorkeling, kayaking, and other nature-based adventures.

For families who want to explore Costa Rica rather than spend their entire vacation at one resort, these inclusive wilderness packages can be an excellent alternative to a traditional all-inclusive stay. Costa Rica Experts can help determine which style of all-inclusive experience and property is the best fit based on your family’s interests, children’s ages, and travel style.

Activities vary by resort, but Costa Rica’s all-inclusive hotels typically offer a mix of swimming, fitness activities, non-motorized water sports, live entertainment, and activities for children and families. Some resorts also feature golf, tennis, spa services, and organized activities such as cooking classes or themed events. Off-property adventures like zip-lining, wildlife tours, snorkeling, sport fishing, and catamaran cruises can also be arranged, although these excursions are typically not included in the all-inclusive rate.

Tipping is generally not required at all-inclusive resorts in Costa Rica, and some resorts include gratuities in the all-inclusive rate. However, additional tips are always appreciated for exceptional service. Guests may choose to tip bartenders, servers, housekeeping staff, bell staff, guides, and drivers at their discretion. We recommend checking your specific resort’s gratuity policy, as guidelines can vary by property.

An all-inclusive plan is a package that typically includes accommodations, meals, beverages, and select activities or experiences in one rate. In Costa Rica, this can extend beyond traditional beach resorts. Some luxury boutique hotels and wilderness lodges, such as Pacuare Lodge, Tortuga Lodge, and Aguila de Osa Rainforest Lodge, offer inclusive packages that may bundle accommodations with meals, transportation, and guided experiences. These packages offer many of the conveniences of an all-inclusive vacation while providing a more immersive Costa Rica experience.

An all-inclusive resort, on the other hand, is designed around the all-inclusive experience, with dining, drinks, and many on-site activities incorporated into the stay. Luxury all-inclusive resorts in Costa Rica include The Westin Reserva Conchal and the new JW Marriott Costa Elena Resort & Spa.

Absolutely. One of the best parts of visiting Costa Rica is exploring beyond your resort. Even when staying at an all-inclusive property, you can take day trips to national parks, waterfalls, wildlife reserves, beaches, and nearby towns, or enjoy activities like zip-lining, rafting, snorkeling, and catamaran cruises. Costa Rica Experts can help arrange private transfers, guided tours, and excursions so you can enjoy the convenience of an all-inclusive stay while still experiencing the destination.
