CC Beach Front Papagayo All Inclusive

CC Beach Front Papagayo All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent
"This hotel is small, clean, staff is fantastic and the beach is warm and calm. We stayed 4 days, which is more than enough, in my opinion, because it is very relaxing and it does not have night activities. We had daily activities, so we were able to enjoy our room, have a nice dinner and drink, swim in one of the 2 pools and go to sleep, for that in my opinion was perfect. Every night their menu changes, because they have theme dinner nights, and only 1 restaurant but many options. Breakfast was my favorite, all the food was delicious, and made fresh. We had a great time at this hotel and the grounds are very well kept. Thank you for having us."
