4/10 Poor
"The pool was often dirty with debris. The food lacked flavor overall and there was not much to do. The staff was okay but enforced rules that were not enforced for other guests. I would not visit this property or Costa Rica again. I stayed from 5/14 - 5/18. "

Frequently asked questions

How much does a budget hotel in Papagayo cost?
Budget hotel prices in Papagayo vary, but you can find a great deal from CA $73 on Expedia. To find the cheapest budget hotels, be flexible with your dates—typically, off-peak and mid-week stays are cheaper. Stretch your budget further by looking for hotels with free breakfast, free parking or free airport shuttles. Sort your search results by "Price: low to high" to see our lowest rates.
When is the most affordable time to visit Papagayo?
The most affordable time to visit Papagayo, Guanacaste, is during the green season, which typically runs from May to November. This period, outside the peak dry season, offers significant savings on accommodation and flights, making it ideal for budget-conscious solo travellers.

While there might be occasional rain showers, especially in the afternoons, the mornings are often sunny and pleasant, allowing for plenty of outdoor activities. Solo travellers can enjoy reduced prices on tours and excursions, and the natural landscape is particularly lush and vibrant.

During these months, you'll find fewer crowds, which can lead to a more relaxed and authentic experience. Many hotels and guesthouses offer off-season rates, and you're more likely to find deals on things like car rentals and local dining.
Is Papagayo a budget-friendly destination?
While Papagayo, Guanacaste, is generally considered a more upscale destination, travellers can absolutely experience its allure on a budget with some smart planning.

Accommodation is often the biggest cost, so consider staying in nearby towns like Liberia or Playas del Coco, which offer more affordable guesthouses and hotels. From there, you can easily take local buses or shared shuttles to access the stunning beaches and natural beauty of the Papagayo area.

For couples and solo travellers, exploring the region's natural attractions is often free or low-cost. You can spend your days relaxing on public beaches like Playa Hermosa or Playa Panama, which offer picturesque views without the resort price tag. Hiking in nearby national parks, such as Santa Rosa National Park, provides incredible wildlife viewing opportunities for a modest entrance fee. Dining in local sodas (small, family-run restaurants) in Playas del Coco offers delicious and authentic Costa Rican meals at a fraction of the price of resort restaurants.
How can I save on a budget hotel in Papagayo with Expedia?
There are plenty of ways to save on a budget hotel in Papagayo. Unlock our lowest prices by joining One Key™, Expedia's travel rewards program. It's free and easy to sign up, and you can access member perks too. Typically, booking in advance will help you save on your hotel booking. If you're feeling spontaneous, be sure to check for last-minute deals.
What free activities should we do in Papagayo?
Papagayo, Guanacaste, offers several wonderful free activities, primarily centred around its stunning natural beauty and accessible public spaces.

For couples and solo travellers, exploring the region's public beaches is a highlight. Playa Hermosa and Playa del Coco are easily accessible and provide opportunities for swimming, sunbathing, and enjoying breathtaking sunsets without any cost. You can also take leisurely strolls along the shore, collecting seashells or simply soaking in the tranquil atmosphere. Many of these beaches also have public access points that are great for a romantic picnic or a quiet moment of reflection.

Additionally, hiking and nature walks are excellent free activities in the Papagayo area. Many trails wind through the dry tropical forests, allowing you to spot local wildlife such as monkeys and various bird species. Look for public access points to trails near towns like Sardinal or within protected areas that don't charge an entrance fee.
Is it cheaper to book flights and a hotel in Papagayo as a package?
Booking a hotel and flight package on Expedia can be cheaper than booking flights and hotels separately. Bundling can lead to significant savings, especially for international travel or when booking well in advance. However, savings vary depending on factors like destination, travel dates, and availability, so it's wise to compare options. With access to over 300,000 hotels worldwide, Expedia makes it easy to build the perfect travel package.
Can I cancel my budget hotel reservation on Expedia?
Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline. This is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use Expedia's "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right budget hotel in Papagayo for you.
