Resort Overview

Where the Pacific Coast
Meets the Star Treatment

A Planet Hollywood Costa Rica destination wedding delivers something genuinely different on the all-inclusive circuit: a property built around entertainment, energy, and a Pacific Guanacaste coastline that gives your ceremony a backdrop most couples can only imagine. Located about 40 minutes from Liberia International Airport, it’s one of the more accessible international wedding destinations in Central America — and one of the most visually striking when you arrive.

The resort centers on its signature rooftop — a full event space with sweeping Pacific views that works for ceremonies of up to 120 guests, cocktail hours, and receptions. Beyond the rooftop, your group has eight additional venue options: a beachfront setting for 200 cocktail guests, an intimate Gazebo, indoor climate-controlled rooms, and a handful of terraces and lounges that make multi-event destination wedding weeks genuinely easy to plan.

The star-branded all-inclusive experience means Hollywood memorabilia, a curated entertainment program, multiple pools, and a full-service spa — all without wristbands or gratuity pressure. 10kWedding knows Planet Hollywood Costa Rica’s wedding program and team, and we’ll make sure your group is well taken care of from the moment you sign the contract.

Location & Getting Here

Guanacaste,
Costa Rica

Planet Hollywood Costa Rica sits on the Papagayo Gulf on Guanacaste’s Pacific coast — one of Costa Rica’s most consistently sunny stretches of coastline, averaging over 300 days of dry-season sunshine each year. Liberia International Airport (LIR) is about 40 minutes away, making it one of the more accessible destination wedding resorts in Central America.

Guests flying from the US connect directly through major hubs. The quick transfer means no one arriving on a late flight is stuck in a two-hour van ride, and early-departing guests still get a full morning at the resort. For groups, that logistics simplicity matters.

✈ Liberia Airport (LIR)
~40 Minutes

The closest international gateway. Direct flights from major US cities including LAX, MIA, JFK, and ORD.

🏙 Liberia City
~1 Hour

The regional hub for dining, shopping, pharmacy runs, and day trips into the Guanacaste highlands.

🏄 Tamarindo Beach
~1 hr 40 min

World-class surf, lively restaurants, and nightlife — a popular group excursion day trip for wedding guests.

🌋 Rincón de la Vieja
~2 Hours

Active volcano national park with zip lines, hot springs, and mud pools — a memorable outing for adventurous guests.

🌿 Arenal & La Fortuna
~3 hr 20 min

Costa Rica’s most iconic destination — Arenal Volcano, La Fortuna waterfall, and thermal hot springs. A full-day adventure for interested guests.

🏛 San José
~5 Hours

Costa Rica’s capital with museums, markets, and culture — best as a pre- or post-trip extension rather than a day trip.

Why This Location Works for Wedding Groups

The Papagayo Gulf benefits from a micro-climate that keeps the sky reliably clear for most of the year — an important practical advantage for any wedding planned around outdoor venues. The Rooftop and Beach venues in particular shine when the Pacific light is right, which it usually is in Guanacaste.

The 40-minute LIR transfer is manageable enough that guests arriving on different flights find each other quickly, and no one misses the welcome cocktail because of a long shuttle. Groups coming from the US also have solid direct flight options year-round, which means fewer connections, fewer delays, and more guests who actually make it.

Beyond the resort, Guanacaste opens up a distinct set of excursion options — Pacific surf towns, volcanic parks, and rainforest adventures that feel genuinely different from a Caribbean destination. For couples whose guests have already done Cancun or the Dominican Republic, Planet Hollywood Costa Rica delivers a fresh backdrop worth traveling for.

Available Amenities

Things to Do at
Planet Hollywood Costa Rica

Everything is included. No wristbands, no gratuity pressure — just the star-branded all-inclusive experience that Planet Hollywood is known for.

🍽️

Multiple Dining Venues

From poolside grab-and-go to specialty à la carte dinner restaurants and a full international buffet, your guests eat well at every hour of the day without hunting for a reservation window. The Sunset Strip Wine Cellar doubles as a private dining experience for up to 10 guests seeking a more intimate evening.

🍹

Bars & Entertainment

Multiple bars including a swim-up pool bar and a lobby lounge stocked with top-shelf spirits around the clock. Planet Hollywood’s signature entertainment programming — live music, themed parties, and nightly shows — keeps your group energized throughout the week.

🏊

Pacific-View Pools

Multiple pools overlooking the Papagayo Gulf give guests who aren’t at the beach somewhere equally scenic to spend the afternoon. The resort’s pool deck is one of its most photogenic daily gathering spots for wedding groups.

💆

Full-Service Spa

An on-property spa with a full treatment menu, ideal for wedding morning preparation and honeymoon evening appointments. Couples packages and bridal preparation services can be pre-arranged for the wedding day and the morning after.

🏖️

Pacific Beach Access

The Papagayo Gulf beach is calm, warm, and genuinely beautiful — the kind of Pacific coastline that earns the destination. Direct beach access gives your guests somewhere they’ll spend every morning they’re not at the pool, and it’s the setting for the resort’s largest reception venue.

Hollywood Memorabilia & Atmosphere

The star-branded experience is unique in the all-inclusive world — authentic Hollywood memorabilia, curated pop culture programming, and an entertainment energy that makes the resort feel distinctly different from the standard Caribbean-style property. Your guests will notice.

🤿

Water Sports & Activities

Non-motorized water sports, snorkeling, kayaking, and a full daily activity calendar round out the guest experience. Optional excursions to Guanacaste’s natural highlights — zip lines, national parks, surf towns — are bookable on-site through the resort’s concierge.

👶

Kids Club & Family Programming

Supervised kids’ club programming and family-friendly activities mean children in the wedding party are genuinely taken care of while parents are at the ceremony, cocktail hour, or post-reception celebration. Family-friendly from arrival through departure.
