Planet Hollywood Beach Resort

It’s a little over an hour from Planet Hollywood to Santa Rosa National Park, which has its own beautifully rugged coastline on the Santa Elena Peninsula. On visits here, you can experience a variety of tropical environments, ranging from mangroves to rainforests. Combine a visit here with a local history lesson, on a tour that takes you to the La Casona monument and the city of Liberia. Visitors to this area can also plan day trips to Rincón de la Vieja National Park, and on the way there you might see one of the area’s iconic cowboys. You might also plan a hike to a waterfall, and end with a dip in a mud bath heated by the Rincón Volcano.

Choose from suites with either a garden or an ocean view from a private balcony. Planet Hollywood prides itself on its super-comfortable beds, and you can customize your experience with the room’s curated playlist and aromatherapy options. Perhaps best of all, each suite comes with a spa bathroom that’s equipped with a rain shower.

You don’t have to leave your room to get your first cup of joe in the morning — there’s a convenient coffee maker at your service. If you want to dine in the privacy of your room, or simply prefer to dine super late or early, help yourself to the convenient 24-hour room service. During your downtime, keep yourself entertained with a satellite TV, which also comes with a selection of blockbuster movies. Speaking of entertainment, If you’re traveling with little ones, you can plan a fun afternoon for them at the Star Kids Club while you focus on a little R&R.

This is a tech-savvy resort, and you can access the Wi-Fi throughout. Use your room phone to make free calls to North America and most of Europe. Every room comes with a safety deposit box for anything you want to keep careful track of.

There are several options for on-site dining, including a Guy Fieri restaurant as well as a restaurant that offers cutting-edge healthy options. Other choices include Japanese, Tex-Mex, Italian, a steakhouse, and a casual sports bar. While you’re here, you’ll find that it’s easy to have the restaurants cater to vegan, vegetarian, or gluten-free dietary requirements

Visit the spa for skin treatments made with whole ingredients — all-natural peels and pulps will make your skin glow. Massages enlist the help of soothing organic oils. Take time for your beauty routine with a facial or a visit to the nail bar. There’s a gym on site, as well as quite a variety of fitness options, including pool yoga, bootcamp classes, aqua zumba, and kickboxing — all in addition to the state-of-the-art gym equipment.
