"We weren't prepared for how remote this property is and the extended rainy season made it even more so with very poor road conditions. Be sure to stock up on EVERYTHING you'll need before going up there as a trip to any store or restaurant will be lengthy. We had to leave after staying only one of our two nights as we just didn't have enough food. There is a restaurant on the property which would have been a complete game changer but it wasn't open during our visit in mid-November. The times...

"Go here! We have a toddler and wanted a treat— this place delivered! It was so clean, beds were so comfortable, the garden is gorgeous and so well maintained. The staff was exceptional! This was perfect with a toddler - we could go between beach and pool and have all of our food made for us. The staff was so kind to our children We wish we didn’t have to leave!"

CC Beach Front Papagayo All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great time here, everyone was friendly and helpful. Our pool side bartender Ceaser was the best!! The rooms were clean and housekeeping did a great job. They even gave us fun designs with our blankets! Food was delicious and they were very accommodating. Very relaxing and family friendly atmosphere"

Occidental Papagayo - Adults Only - All inclusive

8/10 Good

"Everything was great!. Except for being harassed on the beach since it was public to everyone it seemed. But it was a Great relaxing paradise with animals (monkeys ) all over. not much todo at night tho. (Lacked entertainment and night life or shows). But it Definitely worth the price, the staff and bartenders were great! I was a little disappointed in there not being a 24/7 sports bar but luckily we found everything we wanted to watch on the few TVs they had and in the room. No hot tub either. There was one by the pool but it was cold. All and all it was a great trip at an affordable price ! 👍"

The Westin Reserva Conchal, an All-Inclusive Golf Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Unique place to tay with excellent food and helpful staff. The recent remodeling and upgrade to an App to schedule reservations for dinners, activities, and spa trips is wonderful - it even has a map that helps you navigate the property! The Westin is a great place for families too - has a program for children’s activities like scavenger hunts, crafts, and games available every day."
