We booked this hotel one hour after checking into another one. We were not satisfied with the first hotel. This one was great. Everything about the property was 1,000 better. Definitely would recommend. And they have an all inclusive option which made it even better.

I was very disappointed with this hotel. It was loud, felt low-quality, and not what I expected from the reviews. The beach was underwhelming, and the staff seemed inexperienced and indifferent. Maybe my expectations were too high since I’m used to better treatment at hotels. For a lower budget, and for people who enjoy a lively, crowded atmosphere, it might not be that bad—but it just wasn’t for me.

Nice beach/ pool, but way overrated for the price. Dont go for the all inclusive food/drinks. We went a la carte and only spent have that. Not at all what I expected Costa Rica to be like. The nearest tour to the jungle, volcano is a 6 hours. The Jimmy Buffet theme is not really there. Name only, but lacked the vibe. Disappointed.

This is not an all inclusive. It is at best a food and drink package with very limited selection. CHEAP BEER AND BELOW BOTTOM SHELF ALCOHOL. Very limited food selections. Room service not included. RACCOONS SWIMMING IN POOL AT NIGHT. Felt like a motel more than a Margaritaville. Beach which is not part of property is beautiful though.

When you go on a vacation you want it to be more than a place you could visit close to home. Overall stay was just ok. For instance. Paying all inclusive. We had 4 people in a room we got 1 wash cloth everyday an 2 waters. Had problems getting service the pool bar a the 5 a clock somewhere eating area. I seen a drink get spilled by the pool early one day an was still there when we went out for dinner. I asked on one occasion to speak to a manager an said the would see if one was available. Waiting for a few told the over mind a they took my room number. I was never contacted one the issue. I don’t want to say this is a bad place just needs better management. I myself will probably not come back to this area. Not a lot to due. Excursions are 2 to 2.5 hours one way. Most roads are very rough for travel to. Airport is small. No problem getting a ride to hotel. We was told to be back at airport 3 hours early. Good thing. Short line check in. Long line through security. 2.5 hours from check in to plane. My rating on my trip all together 6 out of 10.

We enjoyed Margraritaville Beach Resort Playa Flamingo in Costa Rica, the resort was clean, pool was awesome, beautiful beach, the restaurants and food were good. All the staff were friendly and helpful, especially Fiona and Wendolyn along with the guys cooking the meals at the Capriccios Pizza Bistro and Cafe they made our meals there so much fun as we ate there five evenings, we will definitely miss them. Also Flowor Soto the concierge was so friendly and helpful. We had a great 2 weeks of vacation and would definitely return.

Great property close to a beautiful beach. Beach chairs available from the resort. Only downside is there was only 1elevator in the lobby area and none that went to our room on the 3rd floor or to the parking area. We asked if we could be moved to a lower floor and they refused and didn’t give an explanation. This doesn’t usually bother me but we were travelling with 3 kids under 5 and had our stroller wagon which we had to carry up and down the stairs which wasn’t convenient. So if you need an accessible hotel I would maybe look elsewhere.
