"Property was very clean, and staff were very friendly. We had a great view of the ocean from our room. We did have an intruder (Racoon) enter our room through the balcony door and open the bar fridge and stole a bag of peanuts. We learned that we needed to keep our balcony door locked and not just closed! However, we will definitely go back! Food and drinks are a little pricey!"

"We stayed in Papagayo for the final night of our honeymoon due to its close proximity to Liberia airport. Upon arrival, we were greeted with ice cold wash cloths and a refreshing drink named “agua de sapo” or frog water. Facility was beautiful and staff was very friendly. We were sad that we didn’t have more time left to enjoy all of their facility and numerous hotel amenities—multiple onsite restaurants, bars, private cabanas, several pools, yoga, gym, billiards, SUPs, nor take in more of their romantic atmosphere."

"This hotel will ruin all other hotels for you. The staff was incredible, the grounds were immaculate, the room was amazing, the wildlife and beach on property were unreal. Seriously, if you stay here, there’s no going back to mediocre hotels. You’ve been warned. We’re 100% going back. My wife literally cried when we were leaving."
