We stayed at the resort for one week in April 2006.....yes I know it's been a while. My lovely wife (who books all our trips) and our 2 year old daughter went. This was my second trip to CR and the first with the family. The resort we stayed at in Panama in 2005 was booked so we tried something... More

I was at the Fiesta Premier Resort and Spa on the Papagayo Gulf with my husband for one week (Jan 13-Jan 20 2007). We were in room 436. The hotel grounds are quite nice. After a jet ski tour by the other hotels nearby, I think Fiesta Premier has the most attractive beach front with its lawn and sun unbrellas... More

The food in the buffet and snack bars was great. We did not go to the private sitting resterants. The service was top notch and the best view while retaining intimacy are in the high 100s and 284 to 289 . Snorkeling is fine for what I have experienced . Swam over a school of 500/1000 fish and with a... More

We were at this hotel during Dec. 22-24, 2006 and I can agree with almost everything the previous reviewer said. We have never stayed at an "all inclusive" place, but I have to say, it was fun to order guacamole & chips whenever we wanted it! This was a great way to just acclimate to Costa Rica after a long,...

We were in Costa Rica over the busy Christmas season and our trip was kind of spur of the moment, so some of the places I tried to stay were booked. I was a bit nervous about staying at Fiesta Premier for 2 reasons--it had mixed reviews on Tripadvisor and I wasn't sure I'd like an all inclusive place. Also,... More

We stayed at the Fiesta Premier Resort and Spa from December 11-18th 2006. This was our 3rd trip to Costa Rica and I have to say that this resort was the best so far. We found that the resort was immaculate in the grounds keeping, restaurant, and especially the rooms. We really enjoyed that the rooms are actually 2 room... More

My wife booked this trip for my 40th, so THANKS SWEETIE! To call the Fiesta Premier a 5-star resort is quite a stretch. I highly question whether they have earned this status as have other well-known resorts close by. However, it was a nice layout with a great concept. For the price, I think it's a good stay. Just don't... More
