Sandos Papagayo Beach Resort

Stunning location and lovely vast complex with numerous pools. This is an outstanding resort. Loved everything about it. Very relaxing atmosphere and very very friendly. We have just returned after a week and it wasn’t long enough. Everybody talks to each other around the pool and the complex, mainly English holiday makers at this time of year, Scottish, Northern Irish and lots of Spanish which is always a good sign. Several people we spoke to return year after year which says it all really. It’s location is right in front of the sea, the beach is just a small thin strip of stones and rocks but you can get across them to walk along the sea edge if you wish and there are sandy beaches nearby. There is a beautiful 2 - 3 k. Walk along the “promenade” into Papagayo marina which is gorgeous, lots of beautiful boats to look at and several little bars and cafes to sit and watch the world go by. Lovely shops. One of the cleanest places I have been to. The hotel itself offers the usual all inclusive with a speciality restaurant serving Chinese one night, Mexican another, both of which I highly recommend. It was mainly couples both older and younger with babies, no children as obviously all gone back to school. The evening entertainment is fantastic every night, we have seen some amazing acts and the animation team are all just lovely sweet young people who work very hard. The rooms are large, bright and airy, modern and clean. Kettle and tea and coffee in the room which is good for all inclusive. However these are not replenished but no problem you bring them up yourself from the restaurant. Overall I would 100% recommend this beautiful place for a holiday. We are very sad to be back.

Wow!!! Just returned from a relaxing 10 day break. The hotel is first class. The rooms are bright, airy, spacious and very modern. We had a room overlooking the large pool, we could always get a sunbed,in fact there was an abundance of empty ones, perhaps it was the time of year. We saw the pool areas being hosed down ever evening. The food was amazing, always being replenished therefore it was nice and hot and so much choice, lots of different areas to sit to have your meals so you don't feel you are in a canteen. The evening entertainment was especially good, you can have a drink,listen to a singer whilst having drinks in the chill out area overlooking the beautiful sea. There is entertainment in the theatre later, the shows put on by the animation team were outstanding very talented young people. On alternative evenings outside acts were brought in also very good considering they have to entertainment different nationalities. We found all the staff very friendly and helpful. Stunning location, all in all a fantastic place we will definitely return. Thank you for a fab holiday.
