"Overall planet Hollywood is a chill resort. There isn’t much to do after 7pm. The pools and bars close early. If you want something off the grid ish and just want to relax then it it’s ok for the price. Food was just ok, many of the restaurants use a lot of salt. Staff is very friendly. "

Luxury Ocean Front House, 6 Bedrooms, Sunset views, daily cleaning.

10/10 Excellent
"It’s honestly hard to put into words how much we enjoyed our stay at Casa Frisons. The pictures are beautiful, but I’m not sure they fully do the house or the views justice. The property is spectacular, the ocean views are breathtaking, and by the end of our trip we were already talking about coming back to Playa Flamingo and staying in this exact house again.The house is huge and perfect for a family or group. We spent a lot of our downtime in the large open living area and outside around the pool. Every bedroom has its own private patio overlooking the ocean, several have their own living space, and there is also a separate guest house.The private beach access is a really nice bonus and would be great for a family to spend a good part of the day. The walk down feels like you’re walking through a national park. Flamingo Beach is also a great option if you’re looking for a bigger, more traditional beach.As amazing as the house was, the people made the stay even better. Bilitis was incredible, extremely responsive and helped us with excursions, changing plans and countless questions. Benjamin was equally helpful and always seemed to be nearby when we needed anything.Five stars without hesitation. One travel tip: if you’re coming from Liberia, I highly recommend the Monkey Trail if it’s not rainy season. It can save you a lot of time getting to Playa Flamingo. We would absolutely stay here again."

CC Beach Front Papagayo All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent
"CC Beach Front Hotel is right on the beach (Pacific Ocean side), has multiple pools, great views (sunsets amazing), 25 minutes from Daniel Oduber airport (took us no time from flight arrival to check in), plenty of lounge chairs on and off resort. Staff were pleasant and accommodating. Thank you Daniel, Diego, Christian, Kiendy, Jean, Llieanna, Adrian from making us feel welcome. We pre booked airport transport with Freddy transportation services (alleviated any planning during stay…more time for drinks!) Privacy was great and we felt safe. Often our 13 and 14 yr old girls were in the pools while still insight from our partial beachfront hotel room. Even took an Uber to local town to visit BAC international bank to get some cash (US dollar. FYI most local atm only provide Costa Rica colon). Resort offers complimentary canoeing on adjacent Culebra Bay (opens to Gulf of Papagayo apart of Pacific Ocean). Locals on the beach offer jet skiing for a fee. While the canoes are tranquil, the jet skiing was a thrill (if you are adventurous don’t hesitate…find local Ronny for availability). On jet skis (with Ronny) ventured into the Gulf of Papagayo to see the coastal beaches, gorilla rock, caves and mangroves (bring goggles to avoid getting salt water in your eyes..uncomfortable but wash out with shower). Prebooked Guachipelin Volcano, Zip lining, horseback ride, water tubing, hot springs/mud bath tour. Also pre booked Nicaragua day tour. It’s a whole day trip. Check pickup locations"
