Jul 11, 2025Amazing Retreat in Guanacaste!
We had an absolutely fantastic time at Hotel Papagayo! The location is breathtaking, with stunning views in every direction — it truly feels like a slice of paradise. From the moment we arrived, the service was top-notch. The staff was warm, attentive, and went out of their way to make sure every aspect of our stay was perfect. Our room was spotless, comfortable, and well-maintained throughout our stay. The activities offered were a highlight — from kayaking and archery to karaoke and nightly dancing, the events staff was exceptional. They brought great energy and made every event fun and memorable. The food was excellent as well, with a wide variety of delicious options to suit all tastes. Every meal was something to look forward to. If I had one suggestion, it would be to add an on-site ATM. We would have loved to tip the staff more often, as their service truly deserved it, but found ourselves short on cash. Overall, Hotel Papagayo exceeded our expectations in every way. We can’t wait to return!

Great All Inclusive Resort!
We had a wonderful time at the Occidental Papagayo. A lot of reviews mention issues with getting around but it wasn’t bad at all and if needed, they had someone there in a flash to bring you with the mobile service. The walks were fantastic anyway so who wouldn’t want to walk on the beautiful grounds. We saw monkeys in the trees eating mangos, small parrots flying about, all sorts of flowers, lizards and interesting insects. The beach was sometimes small due high tide but I knew that going into it. The staff was always available to help us and were very courteous and sweet. The food options were plentiful. The beds were comfy and rooms were clean. The nightly entertainment is a bit lacking but that gave us plenty time to rest up for the next days adventures. We rented a car and travelled around. The breakfast buffet had take away boxes so we could bring food with us while we were out. The drinks were always flowing and cappuccino machines always running!!! Wonderful resort! Would recommend. We had an amazing time!

Poor resort. Stay away unless you get a really good deal. Really old site, AC not working, no substantial day or night activities
