The front desk and restaurant staff were very friendly and helpful. The restaurant menu was fine for about 2 nights, but if one stayed longer, it was limited. Some of the lounge chairs were looking a bit worn. We would have liked the pool to be accessible for evening swimming. The pool area was completely dark by 7 pm.

We ate our meals with iguanas, beautiful birds, geckos, and we even saw a monkey.

Everything else needs a major update. We stayed in 5 different hotels and loved all of them but this one. The beds were super hard, no umbrellas on beach so everyone is crammed under what tree they can find, and everything is just old. Large gap in door so flies, spiders, geckos, ants all made their way into our room. And the one thing I expected was serenity but the walls must be paper thin - as it was so noisy! So glad we only stayed one night in this hotel or I wouldn’t have liked CR as much as I did. ##### G Stayed 1 night in Feb 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Golden Jan 27, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Golden Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kim Jan 23, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### FABULOUS I checked in at the guy behind the counter help me to my room with my bags and I asked if it was sea or pool facing and he said no it was garden facing.The second I walked into my cottage I was soooo happy :-) it smelled soooo clean and was roomy and bright with two queen beds & a wall of windows that overlooked a large patio AND I could not only see the sea but hear it.The sheets & bedding smelled like home like my DIVINE fabric softener and the pillows were perfect puffs of clouds.I could hear the waves thundering from the beach all the way at the top of the "hill" I had room 14 and it was heavenEven had a small fridge to hold beer and milk (you know.. the essentials :-))The breakfast was nice - small but nice My BF was arriving the following day & thought why not stay again.My room was not available :-( So I booked another one & it was $100 more. So when they checked us back in it was up a flight of stairs & had 2 balconies you could see a little ocean & the pool. The bedroom was very spacious w//1 king bed & a large bathroom but the living room had no tv & had no windows, like no glass,Only shutters, It was odd and VERY hot but the bedroom had a door to keep in AC,you had to spend all your time in the bedroom so be careful when booking & you want to utilize the whole space. such a pity because it was big and nicely furnished. the 2 balconies were very nice.The beach is basically private and the water is very warm &stunning sunsets swimming was a thing at sunsets ##### Kim Stayed 1 night in Jan 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Jan 21, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Mona Jan 15, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service We had a wonderful time and there are just a few suggestions I would make to management: It would be great to have umbrellas or some other shade on the beach. We were generally always able to find a lounge chair under a tree but an umbrella on the sand would have been nice. There also isn't really an outdoor area outside of the dining pavilion to view the amazing sunset every night, just a few wooden chairs. And lastly, charging for the use of a boogie board seems really petty. It isn't even advertised that they have them behind the front desk. On a whim I asked if they had any, and was surprised that they did, then irritated that there was a charge. ##### Mona Stayed 5 nights in Jan 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Fred Jan 14, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### The way you are Please don’t get swallowed up by that mess to the north!

The first time was 12 yrs ago and it was a heavenly, relaxing experience with the sound of the waves, the serenity of the surroundings, gorgeous sunsets...Even the Jay birds snatching up breakfast plate remains or the iguanas looking for some watermelon at lunchtime were memorable events for the kids. We had 3 generations with us this year so quite a different vacation than the first but still very enjoyable. Ate most of our meals at the hotel and were pleased with the offerings and quality. GREAT idea to have a kids' station off to the side where they could color, do a puzzle or use building blocks. I particularly loved the daily morning yoga in view of the beach with the sounds of the waves and will treasure that experience. Pool was nice but a bit chilly. We booked 4 rooms and so 2 were closer to the restaurant and 2 were further out. The 2 further out had very poor to spotty internet connection. Why would this be important when you are on a relaxing vacation? When you have a 3 yr old who loves to watch "her shows" as part of bed/nap time routine, it can get be critical to quieting a meltdown. Also was unable to facetime with daddy back home which would have helped tremendously in calming her. My daughter's room had a door with a "door sweep" at the bottom which effectively helps to keep out bugs of all kinds. We did not have this in the kids' room nor ours. So moth, ants, mosquitoes all could come and stay with us as well. ##### Rebecca Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Jan 12, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Bella playa, habitacion amplia en la selva, preciosa vista del atardrcer ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jan 2020 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Andaz Peninsula Papagayo Resort, Costa Rica, by Hyatt](https://www.expedia.ca/Papagayo-Hotels-Andaz-Costa-Rica-Resort-At-Peninsula-Papagayo-A-Concept-By-Hyatt.h6476638.Hotel-Information) > > [Bahia del Sol Beach Front Boutique Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Potrero-Hotels-Bahia-Del-Sol-Beach-Front-Boutique-Hotel.h1190047.Hotel-Information) > > [Condovac la Costa](https://www.expedia.ca/Playa-Hermosa-Hotels-Condovac-La-Costa.h12534581.Hotel-Information) > > [The Harmony Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Nosara-Hotels-The-Harmony-Hotel.h1707049.Hotel-Information) > > [Cala Luna Boutique Hotel & Villas](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-Cala-Luna-Boutique-Hotel-Villas.h1118539.Hotel-Information) > > [El Mangroove Papagayo, Autograph Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Papagayo-Hotels-El-Mangroove-Papagayo.h6052327.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Guanacaste - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/El-Ocotal-Hotels-Riu-Guanacaste-All-Inclusive.h2818771.Hotel-Information) > > [Occidental Papagayo - Adults Only - All inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Panama-Beach-Hotels-Occidental-Papagayo-Adults-Only-All-Inclusive.h659642.Hotel-Information) > > [Pacifico Resort Condominiums](https://www.expedia.ca/Coco-Hotels-Pacifico-Resort-Condominiums.h15992557.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Mangaby](https://www.expedia.ca/Playa-Hermosa-Hotels-Hotel-Mangaby.h9786464.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Villa Acacia](https://www.expedia.ca/Playa-Hermosa-Hotels-Hotel-Villa-Acacia.h18529330.Hotel-Information) > > [Margaritaville Beach Resort Playa Flamingo](https://www.expedia.ca/Playa-Flamingo-Hotels-Margaritaville-Beach-Resort-Playa-Flamingo.h189539.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Palace Costa Rica - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/El-Ocotal-Hotels-Hotel-Riu-Palace-Costa-Rica-All-Inclusive.h5431338.Hotel-Information) > > [Sweet Dreams Studios](https://www.expedia.ca/Coco-Hotels-Sweet-Dreams-Studios.h15641729.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Villa Del Sol](https://www.expedia.ca/Coco-Hotels-Hotel-Villa-Del-Sol.h16081830.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Reserva Conchal, an All-Inclusive Golf Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Cabo-Velas-Hotels-The-Westin-Reserva-Conchal.h4151182.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Resort Peninsula Papagayo, Costa Rica](https://www.expedia.ca/Papagayo-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Resort-Costa-Rica.h984916.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Villa del Sueño](https://www.expedia.ca/Playa-Hermosa-Hotels-Hotel-Villa-Del-Sueno.h19326374.Hotel-Information) > > [CC Beach Front Papagayo All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Papagayo-Hotels-Casa-Conde-Beach-Front-Hotel.h1333932.Hotel-Information) > > [Villas Sol Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Playa-Hermosa-Hotels-Villas-Sol-Hotel-And-Beach-Resort-All-Inclusive.h1810654.Hotel-Information) > > [W Costa Rica - Reserva Conchal](https://www.expedia.ca/Cabo-Velas-Hotels-W-Costa-Rica-Reserva-Conchal.h24195607.Hotel-Information) > > [SoulShine](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-SoulShine.h46292420.Hotel-Information) > > [Bahia Pez Vela Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/El-Ocotal-Hotels-Bahia-Pez-Vela-Resort.h1118962.Hotel-Information) > > [Planet Hollywood Costa Rica by Royalton, An Autograph Collection All-Inclusive Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Papagayo-Hotels-Planet-Hollywood-Beach-Resort-Costa-Rica-All-Inclusive.h21882911.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Bosque del Mar, Playa Hermosa](https://www.expedia.ca/Playa-Hermosa-Hotels-Hotel-Bosque-Del-Mar.h113407.Hotel-Information) > > [Secrets Papagayo - Adults Only - All inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Papagayo-Hotels-Secrets-Papagayo-Adults-Only.h10650279.Hotel-Information) > > [The Palms At Coco Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Coco-Hotels-The-Palms-At-Coco-Beach.h4434186.Hotel-Information) > > [Playa Lagarto Eco Development](https://www.expedia.ca/Marbella-Hotels-Playa-Lagarto-Eco-Development.h19979634.Hotel-Information) > > [Occidental Tamarindo - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-Occidental-Tamarindo-All-Inclusive.h793778.Hotel-Information)
