The villas are a little far from the beach ao the whole time i had to drive to the beach. Alsa at the beach club you have to pay for the beach chairs 6 dollars and for the beds $90 dollars at least the chairs should be free for guests.

Our stay at Papagayo Beach Resort was nice. Doors to open the Living Room area to the terrace are a little outdated and sometimes not easy to handle. Overall it was a good experience.

The staff, Cindy and Hector, were excellent. The Villa on the Papapagay Resort was excelllent! I am not an AC person, so for us to have control of our own AC in our own 2 bedrooms was just wonderful. We had our own bathrooms too. The 80 degree weather with the continuous breeze from the huge wrap around porch (with the native birds visiting us) into the livingroom/kitchen added to our wonderful experience! There were only a few photos when I booked it, so I was pleasantly surprised. The 3-10 minute walk to the pool, beach and supermarket was perfect! The entertainment (DJs and band) and boutiques on the busy beach were great too! I am still talking about it to my friends and would joyfully stay there again! Cabs are expensive, so it is better to rent a car but Cindy Hector and another guy at the front desk that I cannot recall helped us with that. Peace Maria

We had a great 6 days at the Papagayo resort. The villas were clean and and the beds extremely comfortable. The kitchen was convenient too as it allowed us to eat in and enjoy the resort. The pools and Jan Thiel beach were wonderful also.

Great Stay

The stay at the Papagayo villas is a comfort away from home. The villas are quiet and peaceful and have everything you could need during your stay. The salt water infinity pool at the hotel was also a great feature. Really love that you can share all of the hotel amenities.

Wonderful Stay

We loved our Villa! It had everything we needed for our family of 4. This property is located next to plenty of bars and restaurants and an easy drive to Willemstad. I don’t love to repeat vacation spots, but we might need to do this one again.

We loved the porch area around the cabana. On site restaurant was very good. Staff was excellent and friendly. Swimming pool was a disappointment….cloudy and algae filled….not safe to swim in.
