We loved Margaritaville Costa Rica! It is right on the Playa de Flamingo which is a wonderful beach. The staff, the food, the drinks, the location & the sunsets where fabulous. We would only ask that who ever is in charge of the "pool music," please include some Jimmy Buffett songs. We where there for over two weeks and did not hear one Jimmy Buffett song over the stereo. (Fortunately, we brought our own music and small boom box.) We would definitely go back... hopefully soon. Pura Vida y tuanis mae!

Itā€™s an okay property. There were not a lot of alternative food choices for vegetarian people. The staff did try to make some accommodations. The staff in the Banana Hut were excellent. I like the area but Iā€™m not sure if I would start at this particular location. The way the air conditioner it positioned, it blows right directly on the bed. This gave me a bit of a sore throat, but the rooms are small, so I donā€™t know how else they would be able to arrange the furniture. It definitely wasnā€™t quiet when we arrived at the property. But, this is their ā€œbranding ā€œ.

Building is dated, in dire need of renovation. Pool's murky w/ algae, sand, cracked/broken tiles. Tight bathroom w/ weak water pressure. Toilet doesn't flush all the way; toilet paper floats back up. Must flush couple of times! Raccoons & iguanas roaming the resort daily. DJ is lame; no daytime fun interactive games/events for guests to participate in. Resort plays the same music in continuous loop all day! If I don't hear another Jimmy Buffet song for a decade, I'd be grateful for small blessings! Have to cross a busy PUBLIC road to go to Flamingo Bch. Resort is 1.5 hours distance fr. Liberia Daniel airport. Not much to see via walking distance; one must drive elsewhere to see more activities, excursions or shops. Souvenir items sold @ resort gift shop & nearby mall are extremely expensive/extravagant! Go to Coco Bch. instead to buy souvenirs; it's more affordable there & local vendors are willing to lower prices if you haggle/bargain. Resort is secure, safe & quiet; located in an isolated cove; no hotels next door. NOV-DEC is quiet season w/ fewer guests. Guards on-duty 24/7 @ front/back gates. Security cameras thru out resort. W/ designated smoking areas. Beds are firm w/ fresh sheets, pillow covers & towels. Room's a/c is comfortably cold. Food's good & edible; 3 restaurants on-site w/ nice ocean view. Italian restaurant's lovely w/ excellent cuisine; wonderful service fr. Mauricio & David! All employees are friendly, welcoming, accommodating, helpful, hard @ work.

The only one star I took off is for food. Breakfast buffet is really limited to bread, eggs, rice, some weird options and sausage. Positive side you can order omelet at no additional charge, and there were fruits every day, that saved us. A la karte menu was okeish, nothing special but prices are high. The hotel is located right at the Flamingo Beach, itā€™s very convenient, service was great!

Property is small so missing some amenities of larger resorts. Dining options were limited but food was good. Lobby area was nice and had comfortable places to sit but they need a bar area without having to go to the pool area. Room was comfortable. Air conditioning was cold and worked great. Large shower but need a ledge or seat to be able to put shampoo, etc on.
