"Very clean, amazing food , great staff"

"Our experience in Costa Rica at CC Beach Front Papagayo was absolutely amazing! The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming throughout our stay. Special thanks to Melody and Gabriel, who took great care of us during dinner and always kept the drinks flowing with a smile. Five stars to the chef for the incredible variety of food offered every day — every bite was delicious! Overall, the entire hospitality staff that catered to us was awesome and made our trip truly unforgettable. While the hotel does not offer nightlife or entertainment, we visited Coco Beach, which is about 25 minutes away, where there were several great restaurants and live musical entertainment. I highly recommend checking it out!"

"Beautiful resort- Not enough umbrellas at pool. Food options were ok would have liked to see more. Cups for drinks were pour quality- definitely bring your own."

"This was one of our favorite places we have ever been. The communication from before arrival, all throughout was so good and made it easy to decide what to do. The Mantu (friend in native dialect) or Butler guides the day and makes it easy to curate your experience on the go. Must do: Sunset drinks at Ambar one night, spa pool (you can access anytime) for sunset, nature tour, snorkeling (the will lend you a snorkel for right off the beach) Every hour they bring round a little bite or juice while your laying by the pool or beach. Also, I didnt realize you could get reservations and they would take you to the other hotels. We loved the steakhouse and Italian at the four seasons and we liked the asian concept at Andaz. The restaurant by the beach at ritz for lunch is amazing too. My only feedback: add beach totes to borrow in the room, clear the room service trays during stay and coffee shop was too expensive - it was oddly more expensive than anything on the property - except the massages - $650 including tip for a 90 min - it was a STELLAR massage but thats extreme imo. if it was 400 something I probably would have gotten a second one. We loved loved loved coming here and cannot wait to come back."

"Amazing resort! Staff was super attentive, friendly and really went out of their way to make a memorable trip! The restaurants were all exceptional too. "

"Amazing property and location! The owner (Kelly) was extremely responsive before we arrived. Once we arrived, the concierge (Ana) was very helpful for anything that we needed. Can't wait to come back!"

"What a wonderful vacation! The condo was just perfect, as were the location, the people, and the access to Prieta and the Park. We would LOVE to come back"

"Wonderful! We hope to return. We had the best trip! This was our second time in Papagayo and I am already trying to figure out when we can return. The property was clean and nice and the location was perfect. We were able to rent a golf court and have tons of excellent options for dining and activities within minutes of the golf cart ride. "
