Find Hotel with a Concierge in Nicoya Peninsula

"Pool lounges and chairs at restaurants filthy."

"We just returned from an amazing 11-day family vacation at Margaritaville Beach Resort Playa Flamingo with our two teenagers and had a great experience overall. This was our second time to this resort and it doesn’t disappoint The resort was very clean and well maintained. Our family room was clean, comfortable, and spacious, which made it perfect for traveling with teens. The staff were all English-speaking, extremely friendly, and always eager to help. Both bars served excellent drinks and have non-alcohol options. We chose the breakfast-only plan and it worked out perfectly. The buffet had something for everyone, and on some days there was a made-to-order omelette station which was great. The rest of the food at the resort was a bit mediocre and somewhat bland, but it really wasn’t an issue because there are many great restaurants within walking distance. The Italian restaurant on site does have great pizza though. The location of the resort is fantastic—right on the beach and an easy walk to Flamingo Plaza and the Flamingo Marina for shops and restaurants. The resort provides beach lounge chairs, and security will set them up for you right on the beach. We also rented boogie boards from the resort which the kids loved. The beach is very safe with great waves to play in. We even saw a couple of stingrays and a sea turtle during our stay, and the sunsets were absolutely beautiful. Overall, it was a fantastic family vacation and we would definitely return. 🌅🏝️"

"Beautiful view, hotel conditions can improve, food is average"

"There is no wait staff at any of the resort except in the restaurants. In bars and at pools you have to go to the bar yourself. There is very limited shade at the pools. Only loungers and no sitting tables. Seats in the shade get towels on them as early as 6am. The food is limited in selection although the wings, burgers and fries from the grill at lunch were great. 3 out of 4 of us got diarrhea and puking at some point over the 2 weeks there. 2 got very sick for a few days. Not alcohol related."

"We had a superior oceanview room. The view of the water, resort and sunset were spectacular! The food was exceptional, staff very friendly & accomodating. Spa/massage was great! Classes were amazing. Location perfect! In the heart of tamarindo, right across from beach, restaurants, shops, surfing. But Very safe and quiet! Costa Rica, Tamarindo and this resort exceeded our expectations! "

"Room was nice also clean. No Ocean view from our room. Pool was perfect. Ice was an issue for our room. Staff was very helpful We would definitely go back."
