Andaz Costa Rica Resort at Peninsula Papagayo – A concept by Hyatt is a luxurious resort located in the Costa Rican jungle near Culebra. It boasts an on-site spa and gym, plus a swimming pool and 3 on-site restaurants. There is also a tennis court, water sports on-site or zip-line between trees and canopies.

We absolutely loved our say here. We loved the privacy, the serenity and the peace of the hotel, the staff were so attentive and so incredibly friendly, the food was divine and we had access to so many activities in the area. Our favourites were bike riding, jet skiing and the little private ocean bays. We'll be coming back again in October :D.

Set in Playa Hermosa, 37 km from Tamarindo, Golden Palms Papagayo features free WiFi access and free private parking. Guests can enjoy the on-site restaurant.

Every room at this hotel is air conditioned and comes with a flat-screen TV. You will find a coffee machine in the room. Rooms are equipped with a private bathroom.

Staff brilliant, breakfast very good. Facilities first class. Pool and hotel grounds are excellent. Rooms are very spacious and bright. We were entertained by a family of howler monkeys that would come into the trees around the pool and feed on the mangoes. It's better than any national park. Plus, we have seen an armadillo and an exceptionally large iguana in the grounds. If you want isolation and a quiet break, this is the place to stay. Restaurant food very good, just the menu is a little limited. The hotel is a little isolated, and you would need a car to get around.

Overlooking Culebra Bay’s spectacular cliffs, this all-inclusive, adults-only complex offers a private beach, 2 freeform swimming pools and a spa. Each stylish room has a balcony with partial views of the bay.

The buffet was quite delicious. The beach worth the walk. The transit taxi friendly and a lovely bonus for getting around the resort. Wait staff was super understanding about language barriers and had plenty of patience for those of us who tried hard to express ourselves.

Looking for a hotel with pools?

‘Does it have a pool?’ is arguably one of the most common questions when booking a stay in any location. These hotels offer a great way to keep active during your holiday without having to hit the gym. Indoor pools allow you to practice your backstroke come rain or shine, whereas outdoor options allow you to relax on a sun lounger after swimming a few lengths.

    We loved everything about the property. The room was very spacious, comfortable and clean. There are 2 huge pools with a swim up bar. The hotel is very exclusive and the property surroundings is well maintained. When we got there, we practically had the pool to ourselves. There’s a great variety of snacks. The staff is helpful but not extremely friendly.

    Loved that it was adults only. Everyone staying at the hotel were really friendly, we spent hours in the swim up mini pool chatting. Private beach with kayaks (free), massages (on the beach are cheap and good!) and jet ski’s. Howler monkeys live on site eating the mangoes and the largest iguanas we saw on holiday too. The food buffet was good for vegetarians but lacking in protein but this was true for everywhere in Costa Rica we stayed. It is on a hillside so expect to walk a bit around the property as it’s a big place. Room was lovely.

    We picked this hotel mainly due to the choice of restaurants and also because it had a big swimming pool, gym and spa. We were not disappointed! The food was lovely with something for everyone and we visited all the different restaurants during our stay. The swimming pool area was relaxing even over the busy weekend when there were more guests on site. The gym was well equipped and the spa experience very enjoyable. It has to be said that the polite, cheerful and friendly staff really made our stay very pleasant.

    Excellent buffet style restaurant open all day plus choice of Japanese, Mexican, Italian restaurants and pool side options like BBQ and burgers etc. All the staff were really helpful and friendly. The whole grounds and facilities were spotlessly clean and offered maximum comfort. Lovely swimming pools with plenty of sun loungers and cabanas. While we were there we also used the spa, gym and booked day trips. We would definitely recommend using the hotel for organised trips as all drivers and tours guides were knowledgeable and reliable.
