March 20-27 from Hudson, WI. USA Cons: They charged us $50 to be picked up at the airport, local taxis charged $40. There was a problem with our booking, when we asked to speak to the manager, they said he wasn't there, as he was clearly sitting in the back room. The beach is not a nice beach. It is... More

Just got back from the Sol Papagayo, read all the reviews before we left, weren't expecting a whole lot, and I am NOT a picky person by any means I have stayed in other 2.5 to 3 star resorts and they were better than this place. The good things.... the rooms were nice and clean, the staff was extremely good,... More

We arrived at Sol Papagayo at 9:45 at night. The room was musty, toilet dirty, and sheets old and over used. Someone (a guest) was smoking pot on the lobby by the bar. By 10:00 everything was closed and I couldn't even get a soda. The operator does not answer the phone after 10:00. The food is the same everyday.... More

Hey All... we appreciate a five star hotel just as much as anyone but the people that slam this property given the price, should not be taken too seriously in my opinion. Try the French Riviera next time! The rooms and property are CLEAN, you can drink the water, the staff is great, the grounds and wildlife are fantastic, it`s... More

We stayed the this resort from Jan. 7-14 and were very happy. For the price, it was great. It's right on the beach, nice pool and rooms. Staff was very helpful and friendly. The food was good, if you want 5 star food, then pay more money for that and stay somewhere else. I don't go away to Costa RIca... More

Normally my husband and I don’t stay at resorts, especially all-inclusive ones. But to save money, I redeemed credit card points for a 1-night stay here. The place seemed empty (of guests AND employees). The property appears to have a large capacity, but several of the buildings were under construction. The main building has a big, ugly, blue tarp on... More

This resort was full of potential! The spot was beautiful. The beach was pretty, and full of local colour. The tide pools and the sunset were fabulous. The walk to the next beach, Playa Buena, was short and painless -- and it was an even nicer beach. The pool is nice -- yes there were a couple of crabs in... More

My wife and I travelled to Sol Papagayo Jan 7-14, 2012. We are very low maintenance travelers and I'm always looking for a deal which is why I booked this resort. We knew going in that everything wouldn't be perfect but as long as it was clean, quiet and friendly we'd be happy. Check-In: Check-in was a breeze for us... More

This is our fourth trip to this resort (previous review Jan. 2010) and are sorry to report that our earlier glowing reccommendations are drastically altered and mainly because of the food. Guest complaints managed to get such breakfast staples as toast (with one 2-slice toaster for what seemed 100 or more people), cereal, fruit, and yogourt added to the menu... More
