Top Playa Iguanita Hotel Reviews

CC Beach Front Papagayo All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"We really had a great time with our family! The staff were wonderful and friendly, and the food was tasty with a nice variety. The property is a little dated, but it was more than adequate for our stay. The big crabs scared us at first, but we eventually got used to them! The swimming pool, the bar and beach service were both really great. One thing that pleasantly surprised me was the gym—it had all the equipment you need for a good workout. The music and entertainment were also great, although they should be a little more mindful of some of the songs they play since this is a child-friendly resort. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back again!"

Planet Hollywood Costa Rica by Royalton, An Autograph Collection All-Inclusive Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Trato del personal espectacular"

Andaz Peninsula Papagayo Resort, Costa Rica, by Hyatt

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel will ruin all other hotels for you. The staff was incredible, the grounds were immaculate, the room was amazing, the wildlife and beach on property were unreal. Seriously, if you stay here, there’s no going back to mediocre hotels. You’ve been warned. We’re 100% going back. My wife literally cried when we were leaving."

Villa Mila Penthouse -concierge+ Peninsula Papagayo!

10/10 Excellent

"We spent last week at Villa Mila or Terrazas #11. If you have a larger family (read: 3 kids) or are two smaller families who want to share a place, this is a great option.The property has a great, modern feel to it that is comparable to any of the upscale resorts that you could stay at on the peninsula. I had originally planned to stay at the Four Seasons, but did not want to spring for two adjoining rooms or a villa. We bought a day pass for the Four Seasons while we were there, and I could not be more happy that I decided to stay at Villa Mila instead. The house is fairly centrally located. Andaz is about a 12-minute drive, but Papagayo Park, Nacascolo Beach, Prieta Beach Club, Nekajui (the Ritz), and the Four Seasons are all basically 5-7min away or less via golf cart. I do HIGHLY recommend renting a golf cart from the owners. This was a great advantage over staying at a resort; we had a lot of mobility and independence due to having our own golf cart. I also HIGHLY recommend going to Prieta Beach Club. I think combining the Prieta Beach Club with Villa Milla basically gives you a higher-end experience than you would get at one of the resorts. Beautiful beach, pools, and restaurants with great food at the club, but you can still go back to your spacious home with a view of the bay. The complex has two pools (we only used one) and has a stunning view. The concierge service was also great and was readily available during business hours to answer questions"

3BR Oceanview Condo | Peninsula Papagayo | Golf Cart Included!

Welcome to Villa Nambi | Full Staffed + 2 boats for you! by Viridian Experience

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic! I cannot say enough about how wonderful this house and team is. The owners are hands-on and reached out multiple times to make sure everything went smoothly. The concierge Mario is FANTASTIC! He handled all of the activities, meals, travel - everything! This is a 5-star experience and location."

Casa Skov, a hidden gem with endless ocean views

10/10 Excellent

"We had an amazing experience staying here! The home was beautiful, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a perfect vacation. A special thank you to Julio, the housekeeper, who treated us like family from the moment we arrived. His kindness, warmth, and attention to detail made our stay truly unforgettable.We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a relaxing and welcoming place to visit. We can’t wait to return!"

Papagayo Ocean View Luxury Villa

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great stay at Villa Durazno. We were 3 couples and had so much extra room. The view at this property is GORGEOUS and we loved watching the sunset in the evenings. This was our first time in Costa Rica so having David near was so awesome! David helped us plan everything and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. The house is high up on a hill so a vehicle or a driver is a must, but once you get down the hill, the beaches and restaurants are near. Thank you for having us! "
