Beaches here aren't just beautiful – they're your personal playground. Playa Nacascolo and Playa Virador offer pristine sands where footprints disappear with each gentle tide. Marina Papagayo buzzes with catamaran cruises departing at sunset, transforming ordinary evenings into watercolor masterpieces. World-class golf courses somehow manage to compete with ocean views for attention. Snorkeling reveals underwater neighborhoods where tropical fish conduct their daily business with spectacular indifference to human visitors. The peninsula's restaurants serve catch-of-the-day so fresh it practically introduces itself. Nearby Coco Beach offers a livelier atmosphere with local vendors and beach football matches.

My husband and I were married at the Four Seasons at Disney in Orlando April 2015 so we had high expectations for the Four Seasons Costa Rica and we were not disappointed!! I mentioned on our reservation through Expedia that this was our first wedding anniversary trip and we received champagne and chocolate covered roses in our room upon arrival, champagne at lunch when our waiter just so happened to ask if we were there for a special occasion and champagne at dinner later that night as it was...

The best hotel I have ever stayed at. The animal life AT the hotel itself is fantastic. I have never seen so many hummingbirds and butterflies. Troops of monkeys, both Howlers and Capuchins come through the property daily; right to the edge of the two pools, and for viewing from the private decks of each jungle facing room. If you ever wanted to watch monkeys, iguanas, and coati mundi's play in the trees from your pool or room while sipping a margarita, you have found the place. Just casually...

The hotel is beautiful place full of trees, plants and birds. It is situated right in front of the beach which provides a wonderful and calming experience in Costa Rica. The room we got was very nice! it was clean, very comfortable and with a garden view. The beds were AMAZING! very comfortable or maybe it was because I was out the whole day; regardless of that, I enjoyed a good night sleep all week long. The buffet that was served throughout the day was delicious. Whoever is the cook, has a...

El Mangroove Papagayo, Autograph Collection

Sardinal

10/10 Exceptional

El Mangroove is a modern, beautiful property located on a very calm bay with great sunset views. The area is very peaceful - a perfect place to relax and unwind. The staff could not be nicer or more attentive. They went out of their way to entertain our kids, make sure we were comfortable and taken care of, etc. Food was delicious. I wish we could have stayed longer. It's only about 20 minutes to Liberia airport.

I will start off by saying we have been to a lot of All Inclusive resorts from smaller to the larger multi complex resorts. We've always booked great review "5 star resorts" This one hit on every single item we look for in an all inclusive vacation. We are mid-30's and enjoy a mix of relaxing, private, with a little party mixed in. We took this trip for our honeymoon and spent 10 days here. This resort is by no means a party resort, but if you're looking for seclusion in paradise with the...

10/10 Exceptional

T Loft at Playa Hermosa was an amazing experience for me. It was my first time traveling to Costa Rica alone and I was a bit nervous before the trip but that all went away as soon as I arrived. The number one important thing for me was to feel safe and secure and T Loft ended up being the perfect place for me. The place was wonderful. It was clean with up-to-date amenities, it was quiet at night, and an overall smooth check-in and check-out process. The host upgraded me to a larger space as soon...

Hotel Villa del Sueño

We love this hotel. It is a short walk to the beach, offers great facilities and had a great restaurant, all at a very reasonable nightly rate. During our stay the hotel had live music several nights. No worries about what to do, the hotel can arrange excellent tours to meet every desire. We loved the staff. They were very friendly, always helpful, knowledgeable, and treated us like family. Villa del Sueno will be our go to stay for a mid winter break in the future.

Hotel Villa Del Sol

This is a great hotel. The staff were very helpful and friendly. We used the pool several times. The room was very comfortable and the air conditioning was a nice perk. You are a 20 minute walk to the main city center. I would highly recommend listening to the advice of the hotel staff and walk along the beach. The walk along the road would not be recommended, especially at night. This property is a good value for your money. I would stay here again.
