The first-ever Planet Hollywood resort in the wider Caribbean region has officially opened its doors on the coast of Costa Rica.

The all-inclusive Planet Hollywood Beach Resort is set on the popular Papagayo Peninsula in Costa Rica’s Guanacaste Region.

The opening comes as two other Planet Hollywood-branded all-inclusive properties are currently in development in the region in St Maarten and Cancun.

True to its brand, the property will have a major focus on entertainment, from a program where guests can choose their own “soundtracks” for their stays to a “Main Event Guarantee,” which the company says lets guests watch all major sporting events in real time.

And, of course, there’s a significant amount of Hollywood memorabilia, a hallmark of the brand’s restaurants around the world.
