This hotel and adjacent national park was the highlight of our 12 day trip through CR.
GROUNDS: The hotel is magnificent, with individual bungalows surrounding the central lobby/restaurant and pool. The tropical landscaping is gorgeous and dense enough to isolate each of the bungalows, affording privacy, even when sitting in the covered front porch. The ¾ kilometer trail down to the Rio Celeste on their property provides a great 15-20 minute hike to the river’s edge, where you may choose to...

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...

Wonderful all inclusive resort with friendly and attentive staff who genuinely wanted us to have a great experience! Food superior to other all-inclusives we have visited, and dining options included for gluten and dairy free. Great housekeeping, excellent and timely bar service at the pool, had to get room service one night while managing a canceled flight and food was great then too. Very service oriented and nearly all staff wore masks appropriately and were seen to be cleaning common areas....

From that point on we went and ate at Tamarindo. Our 1st day in Tamarindo breakfast, lunch, and dinner was $80 total!

The grounds of the hotel were pristine. We saw lots of monkeys, toucans and other wildlife right outside our room. They have a big pool, hot springs and mud baths we all enjoyed. We stayed in a standard room the 1st night and then the JR Suites the...

We loved Margaritaville Costa Rica! It is right on the Playa de Flamingo which is a wonderful beach. The staff, the food, the drinks, the location & the sunsets where fabulous.
We would only ask that who ever is in charge of the "pool music," please include some Jimmy Buffett songs. We where there for over two weeks and did not hear one Jimmy Buffett song over the stereo. (Fortunately, we brought our own music and small boom box.)
We would definitely go back... hopefully soon.
