Papagayo Peninsula Budget Hotels from RM225

"It was fun except the restaurants were open for a short periods and on certain days. The only guaranteed restaurant was the buffet. Honestly all the restaurants were buffet style. We had a drip coming from the vent for 2 days, we had it dripping into a waste basket and the air conditioning broke. We had to call to get our safe opened 3 times…so honestly every day out of 7 days we had to call for something. I’m also not one to call or complain, I didn’t complain about the dripping from the ceiling just asked them to fix it. Then the water makes the room smell like sewer if the blue dye isn’t refreshed in the toilet daily…..so honestly every other tropical place I’ve been to is better…I hate to say it….the people were nice…..the ocean was not clear, and everything on the resort was more expensive than if I were to vacation in FL or CA…."

"Very family friend, there is only one restaurant but the food is really good. Pool area very nice, and kids friendly. Staff very friendly. Room very clean. "

"Great staff"

"Great place to get away from reality and relax"

"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. "

"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. "

"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."

"The Andaz Costa Rica Resort at Peninsula Papagayo was incredible and truly exceeded our expectations. The resort was beautifully maintained, with breathtaking scenery at every turn. We especially loved the pools, the seamless boat rides to the beach club, and the consistently friendly and attentive staff. One of the highlights was enjoying our morning coffee at sunrise while listening to the howler monkeys—an unforgettable and uniquely Costa Rican experience."
