Papagayo, Guanacaste – 8 hotels and places to stay

Surrounded by forest, the Casa Conde Beach Front Hotel is located next to Playa Panamá, on Costa Rica’s Pacific Coast. It features an outdoor pool in gardens, as well as a range of water sports.

We rented an Airbnb in Playa Hermosa for a week. I have two teenage daughters who wanted to mix it up a bit and try an all inclusive. CC Beach Front Papagayo was right down the street. We decided to try it for two nights and it was a great idea! We enjoyed taking a break from grocery shopping and cooking and it was nice to have the option of the resorts two large pools and gated beach front property. The meals that were served at the resort were full of variety and we enjoyed the ice cream and candy bar. We used the paddle boards and kayaks at the resort and took advantage of the large volleyball court in front of our room. We are glad that we made the choice to spend a couple of days at the resort before returning to our Airbnb for the last night.

El Mangroove is on Playa Panama in Papagayo Bay and features an outdoor swimming pool and free Wi-Fi. This modern, secluded hotel features a complimentary on-site fitness center.

The location was scenic and beautiful on the bay. The breakfast buffet was very good. The lunch at the Tiki restaurant was also solid. Dinner at Mokoko was not great and also over priced. The rooms were nice except it didn't make a ton of sense to have the sitting room unairconditioned given the extreme heat midday. It reduced the overall size of the usable room space. The coffee tasting was super fun and informative. We loved that. The staff was good not great. We came here after the Springs in Arenal, and there the staff went out of their way to give so much hospitality. Checking in outside is a little rough mid-day with the extreme heat. The resort fees are quite high. The gym was so-so. The view wasn't good, and the equipment was lacking. It is odd that the adults only pool is the central pool. It was constantly dirty with leaves, though I do think they tried to clean it. The sunscreen and bugspray for guests to use is such a nice touch, but it was often out and not replenished. Service at the restaurants (esp Mokoko) was slow at times).

    The resort was nice, pool was refreshing.

    The resort was nice, pool was refreshing. No premium drinks, a bottle of Crown was $90, and only 1 brand of beer. The food at the buffet wasn't the greatest. Fish was dry, salad dressings were odd or just oil and vinegar. One day I had a poached egg and the yolk was hard and the whites were runny. French toast was hard and tough on the outside and soggy on the middle. You could only eat in the specialty restaurants once for every 3 days of stay.

    It’s a beautiful place if you’re looking to relax and enjoy sceneries. It’s very Humid there but, worth it. It’s not much of a party place if you’re looking for a younger crowd to hang out and have fun. Also, some of the excursions involve a lot of hiking. So, bring comfortable gym shoes or water shoes.

    We loved the time of year, the rainy season.

    We loved the time of year, the rainy season. There were few travelers, and it was hot but not as hot as the dry season. We did not have trouble getting chairs by the pool. The staff was friendly and helpful. The place is beautiful.

    We had two adults and three children and thus needed 2 rooms. We booked for 1 night and they let us stay thru lunch the following day. It was confortable. The pools were large and the children loved it.

    The location is very beautiful and suitable for people looking for a calm or romantic weekend. No more snorkel guided tours due to Covid Overpriced food for the quality that is offered Difficult to reach from San Jose because the roads are in poor state: foresee more than 4 hours drive without traffic Most hotels are overpriced for the quality they offer
