Colon Holidays from £1,203

The manager was so friendly, and helpful, the rooms are nice, the vibe is super chill.

We had an incredible stay! They staff was so incredible, kind, welcoming, and accommodating! We were able to set up transportation easily to and from the airport and taxis as needed. Each staff member made a point to get to know us, and they made sure we were comfortable. The hotel was clean and extremely well kept. The ONLY downfall was the occasional noise of construction. The restaurants in the area were delicious and there were many options within walking distance. I highly recommend a stay here!

Susan was very helpful at our arrival and with responding to questions throughout our trip. There's been recent construction on a beach club that has changed the view of the ocean from the advertising in the pictures. Less open ocean and rock and more palm trees, still pretty and tropical. Swimming in the ocean at this property was not something we did during our trip as the ocean was very choppy and turbulent from the weather. You absolutely need to rent a car if staying at this location if you want to go beyond Mambo beach. I would advise this property is best for adults rather than children unless you upgrade to the VIP balcony suites or the Villas. You have to communicate with them in advance that you will need twin beds instead of King size. The villas are at a different location. Make sure to carefully review the description of what is included in the room type you are reserving. The pictures are a mix of all the properties: standard room, balcony room and villa.

Excellent dinner was great

The resort was beautiful & located in a great spot on the island. Villa was clean & equipped with everything we needed. *Kitchen had plates, utensils, cooking supplies & even tupperware. *Dishwasher was helpful to throw everything in at the end of the day & wake up to clean dishes. *Bedrooms are wonderfully air-conditioned and comfortable! *No issues w/ noisy neighbors & plenty of parking. *Description said '1 bathroom,' but the villa had 2 full bathrooms *Fresh towels provided daily, or you could indicate using your towels more than 1 day. *Pools were great! We spent most of our time at the beaches. Papagayo's beach was a little confusing to figure out b/c each beach section is right next to the other. Cabanas are $69/pp according to 1 person. Someone else said they paid $100 for a cabana...? The beach chairs are free and worked fine for us. *Papagayo's section is a little farther from the restaurants which was ok. It was quieter and away from the DJ and crowds by the other restaurants. *Pool towels can be exchanged at the reception or @ the towel hut at the beach. *Grocery store nearby helped with buying essentials and snacks. *We drank the water straight from the sink & had no issues. *No restaurant on the resort property but plenty w/in walking distance by the beach. *Wraparound porch was lovely to relax on each night *Warning, there are def bugs both flying & crawling around the villa. It did not bother us but just a heads up. Everyone was so friendly!!
