Golden palms is absolutely gorgeous. The staff is incredible - friendly, helpful and they go out of their way to make you comfortable and to keep the facilities clean. The breakfast has freshly made eggs, French toast, black beans and rice, plantains, potatoes, cereal and amazing fruit. I recommend getting an iced coffee, which is included with breakfast. We loved the pool and had plenty of smoothies while swimming e with the kids and relaxing. Watermelon, strawberry or mango were all amazing. There are hammocks where you can lay and see the howler monkey families pass through in the morning or afternoon. We had dinner on the property and I highly recommend the grilled shrimp, which was part of my Caesar salad. All the food was delicious. The property is beautiful manicured and has beautiful birds and butterflies. I The staff also helped us to arrange a snorkel and boating outing, which was fantastic. We saw string raid, eels, bright fish and a puffer fish. We loved it here!

The grounds of this hotel are very pretty, the rooms are large and comfortable, but best of all was the very friendly and helpful staff. The location is a short drive from Liberia airport, and Coco Beach. I wished that the restaurant had more to offer on the dinner menu but that was really my only minor issue

Very clean. Has its own beach connected to Playa Panama. Very quiet, older property with huge trees.Food is OK. Nice place to stay for solitude & for single women wishing to be unbothered. Off the beaten path, food is OK, menu is limited here, but can take an Uber to Playa Hermosa for great food.

This hotel feels a bit dated but it's clean, comfortable, and nicely situated on the water. You won't see the beach from your rooms but it's right on the other side of the pool. The beach is very easy to access and the hotel provides some lounge chairs and hammocks on a grassy area adjacent to the beach. The waterfront is rocky in one direction and sandy in the other direction. It is not private to the hotel but it wasn't at all crowded when we were there during peak season. Breakfast is included and quite good for a free breakfast (eggs, meat, pancakes, Costa Rica dishes, cereals...). Dinner on the other hand was not worth it. Everything had potential but everything was a miss. Overcooked fish, overcooked steak that was missing chimichurri, dry sauceless ravioli, poorly done soup. Out of 10 dinners we had while in Costa Rica this was the only one that I wished I had gone elsewhere for (elsewhere = Ginger in this case. Wonderful restaurant). But the hotel is nice if you can get a decent deal on rooms. Access to the beach and clean comfortable air-conditioned rooms are the highlights.

We spent 6 nights at this hotel and it was a lovely stay. The room was large and very clean. The hotel grounds were well maintained and surrounded by nature. The pool.was great and there was a very nice hammock and fire pit area for relaxing. There were not many guests during our stay so it felt like we had the place to ourselves. Lastly, the staff were wonderful, especially Andrea in the restaurant who was just a lovely lady who took great care of us.

The Premiere access bag drop line was so long that we missed our flight. There was no employee during 75 min we waited there. Then had to stand in line another 1.5 hour to get travel assistance because there were so many others who also did not ever expect the Premier drop off line to stretch mile high. After an hour we (the people in line) were finally approached by an employee and we all let out our frustrations to which he said there was an alternative line downstairs but now it would take longer for us compared to where we now if we switch even though the line itself is shorter. So we waited longer and missed our flight. Where was that employee for the hole hour, why nobody was directing people to alternative routes? Apparently none was scheduled or none showed up to work? Regardless, over threw hours of standing in line we learned that the soonest they could reschedule us was only two days later. Our expensive beach hotel is nonrefundable and travel mood is ruined. I now understand why Newarc airport is consistently voted the worst in the nation. Please try and stay out of it

We had a nice quiet stay at this property. Did not have a tub, but the shower was spacious. Our room was also spacious, and very clean. Waling distance to Playa Panama which is a quiet, calm bay. Excellent place to avoid the crowds and only about 20 minute drive to Playa Coco which busy and crowded.

This was the first place we stayed on our two week journey. It rained the entire time. The room was very stale. Everything was white. No pictures, no art. This was the only place we stayed that had a tv, although old, it sufficed. No beach views from rooms. Instead a little courtyard surrounded by overgrown vegetation… so much so that you couldn’t even sit outside. The food was subpar as well as the ambiance. The staff are ridiculously kind and attentive. The landscaping is gorgeous, but the rooms are blah.

First of all, this is not a beachfront hotel. The beach is undeveloped and has no seating. There is also a dirty pond collecting mosquitoes next to the property. The hotel was almost empty . I think I only saw 3 other guests. Yet the front desk employee decided to place us in the furthest building possible to make us do a long walk with our luggage. The fridge was so old and loud we had to disconnect it to be able to sleep. The room smelled like strong cleaning chemicals l.In the morning there was no running water and I had to shower with water bottles. Unbelievably disappointed.

This should not be considered a "Beachfront". The beach is not pretty, no seating, low tide every day, rocky, not clean. The hotel was OK, I had issues everyday with the AC. It sounds like being on an airplane .. either too cold or too hot. Staff was OK - although I speak Spanish they ALWAYS looked at me as if I was alien. Not polite!! A paying customer should be treated with respect. Won't be going back to hotel or CR.

Location and garden are great. Rooms are okay. However, breakfast is terrible. Coffee and juice were really bad, and so was the food. Also have to deduct one star for using plastic straws while the rest of Costa Rica is making an effort to avoid them.

This hotel and it's staff made our trip to Costa Rica even more memorable and special that i could have imagined. Every person who works there was so kind, friendly, and accommodating that i cant imagine anywhere in the world I'd rather stay than there with them. We were there for 9 days and I will truly miss them. The hotel grounds are beautifully designed as though had our own personal botanic garden in the rain forest. We also saw plenty of iguanas, exotic birds, and several monkeys in the mango tree near the pool on our final day.

Beautiful resort. Private beach front. The staff was amazing and friendly, top notch service. There are several nice beaches nearby. No restaurants close by, the food at the resort is fine, but a pretty limited menu. This is the perfect place for a quiet get away, lots of nature, not a long drive to el recon de la vieja volcano which is amazing. It was very clean, we would return.

I really enjoyed staying at Papagayo - the staff are all very sincere and friendly. The pool is heated (thank you!) but the hot water in my shower never got hot. The grounds are green and every room is a one-story bungalow, which means no room above (yay!). The beach is lovely and the food is decent, but it is worth going off property for better meals when you're in the mood. I'll be back for sure.
