Friendly and always helpful staff. Wonderful location on great beach. Good specialty Italian restaurant and plenty of variety in daily buffet restaurant. Room clean with very comfortable king bed but room decor might need a little updating. Nicely landscaped gardens. more

My husband and I just returned from a one week stay at the Grand Papagayo on July 4th and loved every minute of it! We stayed in a Deluxe room and it had a great view and was very comfortable. Sure there are little differences in the type of hotel amenities you get in Costa Rica from that of a... more

I recently stayed at this hotel and I was very disappointed. I feel this resort has been misleading me by their pictures.This hotel is old and run down! This resort is more like a 3 stars....The property is too big, everything was a hike, it has 25 buildings. The beach is all the way down on the bottom of the... more

Get ready to read this nonsense! My husband and I were scheduled to fly from Washington, DC to Miami, Florida and then from Florida to Costa Rica for our honeymoon. This trip had been planned for months and was very important to us. We flew from Washington DC to Florida. Due to the weather our flight to Miami was delayed... more

I had a feeling the resort wouldn’t be high quality because we got such a great rate on the flight and stay. I was correct. I wanted to leave within 2 hours of our arrival. Like someone else said, if you think that just getting out of your house and going to another country is a great vacation then by... more

We did an all inclusive package though Air Canada. They rated the hotel as a 4 and a half star...which we didn't think it was! Our first room was in building one! It had a very strong moldy smell. Very overwhelming smell, and pretty run down room. We went back to reception a couple of days later, and were given... more

The location was the best thing. The food was good but average. There were some very nice people that worked there. After we received our third room, we were fairly satisfied. The A/C didn't work in the first two rooms and the units leaked water on the floor. On the morning we were to leave, we didn't have any water... more

Everything you read on these posts is true. Yes it is in a beautiful location, the grounds are beautiful and the staff is top notch. But, the rooms are not the best, your bathroom will get wet everytime you shower and the towel service in the rooms and pool is lacking. Me and my wife had a fabulous time at... more

Most beautiful place we have ever stayed, We don't care what anybody else has to say about this place, but if you are looking for a nice, relaxing, romantic tiry, this would be the place to go. It depends on the time of year that you go to how busy the hotel is, and it is not for someone looking... more
