I’m staying at the villas next door and have been to Papagayo a number of time this week so far. I also have plans for the Spa and beach tomorrow.
The water is wonderful, they have created amazing areas to swim, snorkel and dive; they even have a sunken ship to dive down to.
There are plenty of beach chairs to be had for a small fee; covered or open to the Caribbean sun. If you’re hungry, lots of food options around from beach snacks to sit down casual dinners. I am however not used to the smoking that is everywhere, not something I see much in Canada at all.
My only complaint is the service.
First issue was at the beach... when we sat we were greeted right away, but that was it. I had to flag the female server, who was texting on her phone (ours must have been on a break), she came, I asked for a drink and food menu... this generally mean someone wants to order. She went back to texting and never came around...25 minutes later our server appeared at the little hut, she was texting, he was talking to her and I finally got his attention. I told him that I was disappointed with the service to which he apologized and was very attentive after.
The next was at a pricy dinner at Tinto Restaurant. Our server greeted us, brought us water and then almost ignored us. We had to flag her to order drinks and food... after the food came there was no check on our drinks or quality of food; we had had to flag her to refill water.
It wasn’t busy and we weren’t very demanding at all.
I think part of it is it’s not customary to tip by Europeans, so this reflect in the service.
As I write this we’re talking about dinner... However I now know what to expect, so anything better will be a pleasant surprise.
Please work on your serving staff.

Stayed in a Garden View villa (family of 4). Villa was very spacious and I absolutely loved using the porch area outside. Very quiet and relaxing place to stay, but definitely not for people who can't take the heat, as the bedrooms are the only rooms with air conditioning -- open-slatted doors/windows to the porch and bathroom made these rooms very humid. We made use of the kitchenette and purchased food from the nearby supermarket. Staff was friendly and helpful. There is a nice pool right next to the specialty restaurant. Resort is walking distance to Jan Thiel beach which also has nice dining options. If you do not have a car, be ready to walk a decent amount while staying here in order to get to and from the beach.

Stayed here for two weeks in an ocean view unit. The were only two of us, so we really only needed one bedroom but used the extra room to store luggage.
Bed was comfortable and bathroom was nicely laid out, kitchen had everything we needed. The grocery store near by had a good selection. Rented a car for one week of our stay so explored the island.
Most days were spent either at Jan Thiel beach (fabulous snorkling!) or at the resort pool or on the deck reading.
Absolutely no complaints about anything.

The villas look amazing, but don't judge a book by the cover. The villas are excruciatingly hot, I am Brazilian and I am totally ok with warm weather, but the villa was just a terrible sauna. The porch, the wooden floors, the windows which have no glass or isolation contributes to the stinking moldy smell and heat. The doors to the porch were impossible to open and if you did manage to open them (after much sweat blood and tears,) then you'd find yourself in a dirty porch with an even worse heat.
Airco was only available in the bedroom and cooking or having dinner at the table felt like being inside a volcano, with the heat and the terrible smell of mold. The shower temperature couldn't be set and only a cold shower could be taken, in both bathrooms, and god did they smell like mold??? The food package Which was promised in our booking came two days later... the couches were not comfy at all, but yes, they look beautiful! Should I go on? I thought this was a 4/5 stars villa?
A few days later we moved to the Livingstone resort next to the Papagayo. We were expecting to find even less comfort since the houses were cheaper and less "designy". We found an airy house with tile flooring and big fans in the living room. The bathrooms (and the whole house, really!) were clean and airy, making our stay much more comfortable and pleasant...even though they had much less good looking furniture... in other words, don't be fooled, the papagayo villas look great, but they put form over factor....

Me and my wife had a veeery nice time at Papagayo. The room was excactly as i was expecting, it is a very quiet hotel, perfect if you are looking for a nice place to rest. My wife loved the breakfast buffet.
We will get back for sure.
