Nicoya Peninsula Business Hotels

"The view is great! However, The resort is not kept well it looks decaying. I was very disappointed when i arrived. The people at the front desk were helpful. But i cant Say the same for the staff in the food service area for the exception of one young man who really took time to ask us if we needed anything everytime he was on shift. He should give lessons to the others on how to provide good service. One reason I actually picked this resort was because it was all inclusive, however the food was not the best. We ate out more than a few few times once we got to know the area. Unfortunately we will not return to this resort. It needs to improve drastically. Especially the restaurant. I was told by a local that this used to be one of the best resorts. Hopefully it can return to its forrmer glory. "

"I travel a lot and this was one of the best hotels Ive ever been in for the price. Clean, great staff, lots of included breakfast all morning to choose from, incredible dinner meals, lots of parking, multi level pools, on the beach, staff offered to bring chairs out to me on the beach at 5am while i was just standing there watching the ocean. 5AM!!! Spacious balcony with chairs, bottles of water, cool evening music on the pool deck, spotless modern rooms with beautiful carrera marble bathrooms finish, not a long walk to any room... My Playa Flamingo go to from now on. "

"Great location"

"Our review as a Canadian couple in our late 30's, no kids: What we liked: - The beach was fabulous, felt safe and secure to leave items unattended - Small boutique feel, quick walk to the restaurant and beach. Nice atmosphere and well kept. - Monkey sightings outside our door, and other cool wild life on the premise. - Friendly staff, clean rooms. - Locals gather on the beach for picnics on the holiday we were there, which made for a nice atmosphere What we didn't like: - Rooms were a little dated (beds not very comfortable, couch stained, old smart TVs not compatible with streaming apps) - Rooms didn't feel very private. - Rooms didn't feel worth what we paid. - Pool very small and can quickly fill up with 2 - 3 families. Tended to attract families with little ones - Food at the restaurant was good, although dining options are limited and the restaurant expensive (example two desserts and a drink came to $60 CAD). Overall our stay was average. It seems you're really paying for the location/beach access, as opposed to a high end hotel experience that one might expect when paying over $500 CAD a night. Food options are limited aside from the hotel, although there is another restaurant down the beach that we enjoyed. Other meals we bought to store in our room or drove into Playa Del Coco, which is about 15 min away. Highly recommend having your own vehicle if staying here."

"This resort sits on top of a hill overlooking Papagayo Bay, so be aware: there are a lot of stairs. If you have mobility issues, this place isn’t for you. The staff do offer a shuttle but you’ll still need to manage a lot of steps. Premium level have their own golf carts. But if you want a quiet, adults-only resort with great staff, good food, and comfy rooms with amazing AC, this is it. They have a good variety of food options. Lots of tropical fruits. If you want to hear and see the howling monkeys, have breakfast early at the snack bar/restaurant by the big pool. The resort is a beautiful garden, lots of flowers and mango trees loaded with fruits! Lots of wildlife too! Pros: Friendly, attentive staff Good food with nice variety something for everybody. Comfortable rooms with strong AC — a lifesaver after a hot day Have chicken wings (it’s the best!) and nachos at the snack bar/restaurant. The Grille and Mediterranean restaurants were great, but The Oriental was forgettable. Massages offered at the beach by local masseuses. Cons; Hilly, lots of steps and stairs. No elevators Peaceful, not a party place. Not a dressy place. Amenities were great. Try their Papagayo Special drink, it’s so refreshing! Rooms were clean tho a bit dated. Tours offered at the lobby. Check-in was just a bit slow. Highly recommend for relaxation and Pura Vida.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"

"Overall, I had a really good time. The food was actually very good compared to some of the reviews that I saw that mentioned it was mediocre. The transportation staff were top-tier and their driving abilities are unmatched. The only thing is that I did call and asked for the in room snacks to be stocked, but that was never done during my time."

"The front desk staff was rude. There was a roach in my room. The pools were green"

"lovely resort, above average meals with plenty of options to choose from and beautiful beach to enjoy !"
