My daughter and I just returned from a week at Papagayo to celebrate her 30th birthday. We enjoyed our stay. We upgraded from ocean-view to oceanfront and loved sitting on the balcony with that view. Restaurants on & near the property were decent & pricier than Mexico and Costa Rica. Rented a car upstairs at the hotel. Very affordable & easy option. The hotel property was nice if you just want to relax & not leave, but we were in search of better beach options. Grote Knip was well worth the hour drive & beautiful! Jan Thiel is right next door and it was fair, but very crowded. Hotel was well kept, staff was friendly, would definitely go back. We loved that there was a supermarket next door!

1st I have to say the staff at the front desk are GREAT! No complaints with them at all. This could be a 5-star hotel but there are a lot of defects that need to be managed. In our room you could see they did not clean the floors well. We just got in and stuff would stick to my feet and you can see dust bunnies of hair etc. floating around. There were items removed from the walls and the holes were not fixed professionally. Marks on the wall (easily to reach to wipe off), and the most annoying was the vent in the bathroom ceiling that kept dripping on me while I was getting cleaned up. The bathroom sink had iron built-up (it is hard to see in the picture). There was trash in the hallway that was there the entire time we were there. Due to inconsiderate people it is noisy! People going in and out of their rooms would allow the door to slam which is very loud. If you are sleeping this will wake you up. There is no ice machine in the building; we had to keep going up to the front desk to get ice. The TV had to be fixed, somehow, we were only getting 3 channels. And a very annoying popup kept popping up the entire time we watched anything. We could not get this to turn off. There is no luggage cart so be prepared to haul your luggage through square stoned walkways that beat you to pieces as you pull your stuff to the room. If you have a large suite case you will get a work out. The buildings do not have elevators either so you have to pull your stuff up some stairs.

This hotel is a complex mixture of excellent physical facilities and failures in service that don't meet reasonable expectations for a property that positions itself as a 4-star hotel. Therefore, I'll divide my review separately into two areas. The room I had met the high expectations of the description, with a full ocean view, a nice balcony, good interior space, a comfortable bed, good shower with plenty of hot water. Issues with the service start at check-in. One is not informed that with different levels of deposit $100/$500 (with a pre-paid room) come different levels of service for incidentals, such as laundry - with the lower deposit, the laundry is not picked up or delivered to the room, but has to be notiated at the front desk, and paid separately. Surprisingly, the higher deposit cannot be arranged for _after_ check-in, as to simplify transactions during one's stay. More annoying, at check-in I was informed that for the duration of my week's stay the cost of a buffet breakfast at their beach club facility would be $21/day. And that was what I was charged for the first 3 days of my stay, when on the 4th day I was greeted at breakfast with the message "We've raised our prices, now you have to pay $26/day." It was only after I expressed my strong displeasure at the "bait and switch" that they honored the original price quote, but this left a bad taste in my mouth. Hence, overall a mixed experience.

They served fresh drinks and you get a free gift bag upon check in. The staff was super friendly and overall peaceful. This is my second time coming here since I was 10 and I made this my choice of stay when visiting here as a birthday/graduation trip. I needed a mental break and I felt so at home the days I stayed here.

It was beautiful when we arrived the hotel lobby It is gorgeous! I wish they used the lobby for a piano bar or some sort of entertainment. It has big open marble floors for dancing. The Christmas decorations were beautiful too. Rougenlea greeted us and checked us in. She was very prompt and even walked us to our room to make sure everything was in perfect order. Thank you Suky, Mardely, the other lady pictured and the tall guy, I forgot his name. They all including housekeeping were outstanding. We will be back.
