First the positive things: very good location, next to the wonderfull Marina Rubicon and walking distance from the Papagoya beaches. Also nice swimming pools and good service from the staff. The negative things: - food was a big disappointment, it is very cheap and simple and every day about the same. After 2 - 3 days starts to get boring.... More

My friend and I are just back from a 2 week stay at this hotel, we made a mistake and thought we had booked the Papagayo Arena which is much bigger and further along. It was the best mistake we ever made. Everything was so compact and very clean. A courtesy bus takes you to Playa Dorada and it is... More

Stayed in Iberostar Papagayo for 1 week and would think twice before returning. This is mainly due to our first night registration when we discovered that our pre booked accommodation (February) was being "upgraded" without our asking.To our surprise we were directed to an apartment block across the road from the main hotel. When we objected to this on security... More

I returned here again, just for the weekend. This is a really nice hotel. It is in a quiet part Playa Blanca so might no please everyone. Not for you, if you like lots of bars and restaurants nearby. Having said that it is only a short taxi ride to the resort centre and a 30 minute walk to the... More

did not stay here, we were in a private villa across the road, but we would visit most evenings before returning to our villa, the staff are very nice, and the guest seemed to be very happy with this hotel, i guess most did research on location prior to visiting. i dont know how to put a half star in,...

Location: On the fringe of Playa Blanca. Rubicon Marina with its up-market boutiques, bars & restaurants is a pleasant ten minute stroll along the walkway. Playa Blanca centre is another ten minutes or so walk. This is where the beach (good) and predictable legion of shops, bars & restaurants are. You could be in any Spanish seaside resort! From the...

Stayed in this hotel in the last week of April after booking a late deal and chose to go All Inclusive for the first time out of the many holidays abroad we have been on as it was a fantastic price for the week we went and was the cheapest option for a weeks break when you took in to... More
