"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Beautiful, romantic stay with incredible views I stayed at Vista Pacífico in Liberia, Costa Rica for Valentine’s Day and absolutely loved it. The property is gorgeous, peaceful, and beautifully maintained, with breathtaking views that made the stay feel truly special. The hosts were very accommodating and welcoming, which made everything effortless from start to finish. It was the perfect setting for a romantic getaway, and I would happily stay here again."

Occidental Papagayo - Adults Only - All inclusive

Occidental Papagayo - Adults Only - All inclusive

8/10 Good
"Resort was clean and property was well maintained. Staff were friendly and helpful. Great views and a nice beach with shade and a breeze for the hot afternoons. Food was good, but options were a bit limited. Lots of hills and stairs to walk around the property, but there was a readily available shuttle if you didn't want to walk. Overall a nice resort."

10/10 Excellent
"This resort was a pleasant surprise. My husband selected the hotel & I was not excited about having one restaurant on the property. All I can say is WOW!! The menu changed every evening (Italian, Caribbean, Mexican) , the protein was prepared fresh upon request. Typically you had the choice of beef, chicken, fresh fish or pork. The breakfast had an omelet chef, fantastic fruit/pastries & AMAZING coffee. The hotel was a small boutique hotel. The pools were well maintained, staff was constantly asking if there was anything they could do, making sure the grounds were spotless. The concierge arranged a private fishing charter that picked us up right on the beach in front of the resort. The beach was soft sand & waters calm enough to hang out in. We'd definitely come back."
