"I enjoyed my stay"

"We had an amazing stay at this VRBO property! The location was fantastic with a private beach that was perfect for walking and swimming. There were plenty of restaurants nearby, making dining out convenient. We would suggest renting golf carts. The best part was that everyone in our group wanted to stay longer, which is always a sign of a great trip. We hope to visit again in the future. "

"We had wonderful week!!! Everything was easy from questions during booking and pre-trip to check in and out. Jairo, the concierge for the home, took great care of our four families. Johanna and Wendy cooked us delicious breakfast daily and were so cute with the baby of our group. Perfect location 10 mins walk to everything, beautiful views, lots of options for food just down the hill. Would absolutely recommend! Everything was clean and comfortable. "

Board games on site, beds comfy and clean, all amenities you need. parking in front. Not a lot to do in Brasilito but great location to get to everything. The owners of the condo are really great to deal with and remember to take a photo of the emergency numbers on the kitchen counter just in case. "

"Our stay at Cssa Paquita was wonderful! Jonathan was very responsive and helpful with our requests. Lorena and her assistants spoiled us with wonderful breakfasts every day, and 2 delicious dinners. We loved the infinity pool, and we were entertained by the monkeys in the trees. Pura Vida!"

"This home and location is a true gem on the beaches of Potrero - the upstairs with 4 lovely rooms each with a private bath was perfect for the adults in our group. The lower level was just the right set up for the 6 younger people in our group (ages 17-22). The pool was awesome for when we needed some shade or time away from the ocean. We walked the beach every day loved getting to the restaurants in town that way. Arturo and the rest of the team at the house were so great and available to...

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

10/10 Excellent

"My family has a wonderful time at this resort!! "

CC Beach Front Papagayo All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed 4 nights at CC Beachfront Papagayo. We can’t say enough about this resort. We stayed in unit 303 across from one of the pools. The room is older, had wooden doors and cabinetry and tile floors. I believe this area was the original resort which was very nostalgic and we loved it. As an all inclusive there was no wanting since you have as much food and drink as you need. We basically had private servers. Thanks to Young Carlos and Reny for taking very good care of us! The dining experience was phenomenal! Buffet style was the style, but you have a variety of food to suit everyone’s tastes. We had traditional fare as well as sushi night and Italian night. You can reserve seating at Santa Rosa’s for a more private experience and a specialty menu. Also, you can order pizza and burgers for a snack outside of dining hours. There are three bars. The main bar at the restaurant and two swim up pool bars. The list of tropical drinks is amazing so try them all. As an older couple, there were many amenities that we didn’t use. The resort is kid and family friendly with a lot of things for the younger crowd. There is volleyball, kayaks, yard games, a movie and arcade room, a fire pit, gym and a really unique trampoline and climbing area. The kid friendly atmosphere was nice! We watched and enjoyed the families that we met. We only have one issue that could be better. Staying in room 303, we had guests in rooms on either side of us. We could hear their conversations. "

Occidental Papagayo - Adults Only - All inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"The place had everything you would need. Food, Drinks, beach access, and (even though I did not use their services because I didnt know they had them) they have excursions on site. The only two gripes I have is they offer a luxury upgrade for premium liquor and free room service, but only one location has the premium liquor and its at the very top of the resort. This leads to my second gripe which is the amount of walking needed to enjoy the resort. They do have shuttles, but they get full quickly and show up rarely or you call for one and it comes slowly. Still enjoyed the stay and would recommend it."
