Top Playa Venado Hotel Reviews

Planet Hollywood Costa Rica by Royalton, An Autograph Collection All-Inclusive Resort

8/10 Good

"I had a great overall stay at Planet Hollywood Costa Rica and would definitely return. The property was beautiful, clean, and well maintained, and the staff were friendly, polite, and helpful. I loved the variety of restaurants, and the Guest Services team was phenomenal in helping me secure restaurant reservations throughout my stay. I stayed for my birthday, so I was disappointed that the hotel itself did not acknowledge it, especially since they knew I was traveling specifically to celebrate. Guesto Restaurant did make my birthday very special, which I truly appreciated. I also purchased a birthday package, but the balloons I selected were unavailable and had to be substituted. My biggest disappointment was Nexus, the onsite company handling transportation and excursions. I waited about two hours at the airport because they were waiting for other guests, even though I saw people who arrived after me leave before me. My excursion driver was also nearly 30 minutes late due to a communication issue regarding my pickup time. Most concerning, Nexus had no record of my prepaid private airport transportation when it was time to leave. I had to prove the booking and arrange everything again about an hour before my flight, which was extremely stressful. Overall, I loved the resort and would absolutely stay again. However, I would arrange my own transportation and excursions rather than use Nexus."

Nekajui Peninsula Papagayo, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing overall top notch … The place is a hidden paradise I would suggest dinner menu to be a bit more simple … less is more sometimes. Overall great! From the welcoming to the good bye .. I can’t wait to come back"

3.5 Million Dollar 3bd Condo Offering A Five Star Experience & Accommodations

10/10 Excellent

"There’s a reason this Papagayo VRBO has so many positive reviews...It really is exactly as described. Our family had a PERFECTO time here, and it was one of those places that immediately felt PURE VIDA. The cleaning service was outstanding. Everything was excellent, and we left wishing we could stay a few more days. We would absolutely come back!!"

Villa Mila Penthouse -concierge+ Peninsula Papagayo!

10/10 Excellent

"We spent last week at Villa Mila or Terrazas #11. If you have a larger family (read: 3 kids) or are two smaller families who want to share a place, this is a great option.The property has a great, modern feel to it that is comparable to any of the upscale resorts that you could stay at on the peninsula. I had originally planned to stay at the Four Seasons, but did not want to spring for two adjoining rooms or a villa. We bought a day pass for the Four Seasons while we were there, and I could not be more happy that I decided to stay at Villa Mila instead. The house is fairly centrally located. Andaz is about a 12-minute drive, but Papagayo Park, Nacascolo Beach, Prieta Beach Club, Nekajui (the Ritz), and the Four Seasons are all basically 5-7min away or less via golf cart. I do HIGHLY recommend renting a golf cart from the owners. This was a great advantage over staying at a resort; we had a lot of mobility and independence due to having our own golf cart. I also HIGHLY recommend going to Prieta Beach Club. I think combining the Prieta Beach Club with Villa Milla basically gives you a higher-end experience than you would get at one of the resorts. Beautiful beach, pools, and restaurants with great food at the club, but you can still go back to your spacious home with a view of the bay. The complex has two pools (we only used one) and has a stunning view. The concierge service was also great and was readily available during business hours to answer questions"

We had groceries delivered which were in the unit before we arrived along with a gift basket of treats for the week. We will definitely stay here again! Pura Vida!"
