    Costa Rica 2025

    Great beach vacation at a beautiful resort. I would recommend this resort for relaxation and a great beach. The pool was a good size for a smaller resort.

    Beautiful beach! Very kind staff! Great drinks!

    Margaritaville, located on a beautiful public beach with sweet and helpful staff, is basically an upgraded motel with decrepit shower stalls that offer little water pressure and lukewarm water. The drinks are fabulous. I’d rate the best meal a 6 out of 10. I don’t know how anyone could tolerate the food for more than three consecutive meals. Luckily Coco Loco delivers. The head mgr via phone when I was booking told me the room I had was closest to and facing the ocean but the view was interrupted with trees. The room was basement level with no possible views. So call back and confirm information with a second person to assure it is accurate. Luckily the resort wasn’t full and I was given an ocean view room. Again, very sweet people.

    Beautiful tour and wonderful guide

    We had a wonderful experience! The views and animals that we saw were awesome. The captain and guide were so friendly and informative. They did a fantastic job at pointing out animals, the names of landmarks and islands, and they happily engaged in conversation.

    A wonderful time for the family

    Went with my wife and three kids for six days all-inclusive and had a great time in the pool, on the beach, and at the bar. Food could be hit or miss but there were some very big hits, particularly at the Banana Wind Café when ordering off the menu, as opposed to the buffet. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful (shoutouts to Elias, Stacy, and Heather for exceptional service), the Family Center helped keep the kids occupied when they weren’t keeping the bartenders occupied ordering mocktails, and the local wildlife offered some delightful surprises (don’t leave drinks unattended at night or a weird looking raccoon may steal them). Among the activities the hotel offers, we did a coastal tour on the hotel’s boat and had a wonderful experience with a very friendly guide who taught the kids to snorkel and who served one of the best breakfasts we had while there. The hotel also set us up to go jet skiing and on a zip line canopy tour with a local adventure park, which I am certain my kids will remember all their lives (because I was sh*tting a brick the whole time). We didn’t spend a ton of time wandering around Playa Flamingo but there were some great local restaurants that helped in a pinch when the kids were being overly picky. Some nice local shops too. I would definitely go back.
