Papagayo Peninsula All Inclusive Resorts

"Our experience in Costa Rica at CC Beach Front Papagayo was absolutely amazing! The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming throughout our stay. Special thanks to Melody and Gabriel, who took great care of us during dinner and always kept the drinks flowing with a smile. Five stars to the chef for the incredible variety of food offered every day — every bite was delicious! Overall, the entire hospitality staff that catered to us was awesome and made our trip truly unforgettable. While the hotel does not offer nightlife or entertainment, we visited Coco Beach, which is about 25 minutes away, where there were several great restaurants and live musical entertainment. I highly recommend checking it out!"

"We enjoyed our stay! Traveled with our adult children and their spouses. Beautiful beach with added bonus of manta rays swimming in the waves (they are safe and fun to watch). The pool area was nice with great bartenders and we enjoyed the poolside lunch service. Low key music and relaxing atmosphere. Everyone was satisfied with the selection of food, nice buffet, omelet bar, only a couple of restaurants but offering a good selection. The Italian option is good, make sure to make a reservation. Really wonderful staff, friendly and helpful. One of our members was tossed by a wave and got a bloody nose. Staff transported her to nearest urgent care and picked her up. Urgent care doctor was excellent. We appreciated their care and concern. Overall, good value for the price. "

"Good location on the beach. Got Montezuma’s revenge from the water. Be careful. Food was good and plentiful but all vegetables and fruits were washed in water, ice cubes from water, “watered” down booze in the room and free drinks also were “watered”down. Spent 2 days in bed and bathroom. In a place that is 80 and 90 degrees everyday with high humidity it’s hard to navigate around not drinking or eating anything associated with water, not using ice. Minibar in room has can sodas and large sealed bottles of water which is fine but in all restaurants they graciously pour glasses of water to you at all meals and you end up taking a sip. Costa Rica is a beautiful country with lovely people but it’s a 3rd world country. Be careful what you drink. Grounds were lovely and pools were huge. We were Costa Rica before in another area and had no problem. Heard the Gold Coast has some water problems. Really nice spot with many amenities - be careful what you drink. "

"Was a perfect vacation! Yes it needs updating bit it was top notch"

"Staff, house keeping, activity centre and entertainment were all great. Restaurant options were limited due to closures so we were forced to eat at certain restaurants on some nights. "

"Beautiful resort- Not enough umbrellas at pool. Food options were ok would have liked to see more. Cups for drinks were pour quality- definitely bring your own."

"The food at the restaurants was not very good for such a well kept property"

"The resort was over all nice only issue we had was the day we needed to leave to the airport to depart the transportation to bring us down took an hour to come get us and almost made us late for our flight. The resort is up a hill and no walking is permitted for safety. So you are forced to wait. We called the office several times to get picked up and the phone would just ring and then they would answer and tell us to wait outside so we waited outside of our room for one hour before being picked up. Also, the room stated with the stay you only get two complementary bottles of water and one coffee you have to pay for the rest but other than that, it was a pretty decent day and the resort itself was very nice and close to the beach just keep in mind that you have to wait to go around the resort."

"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."
