Hotel Mirador Papagayo by LIVVO

"Great location for those able to walk along the pathway into the Rubicon Marina and beyond into Playa Blanca. That said, with the weather being so grey and cold in the evenings, there’s very little in the immediate area if you want a trip out without a car. Food was ok. Breakfast, no complaints. A wide range and readily available. Lunch and evening meals (we were All Inclusive) was repetitive and lukewarm warm at best. The ambience was canteen-like sadly and very noisy. Far too many times they would run out of hot plates and were clearly not checking how well they had been washed before being put out. The lunchtime food in the pool bar was no better, primarily because it had sat there for hours due to a lack of people. The room was ok although the level of cleaning seemed to vary. Beds always made but towel replacement was intermittent as was the replacing the dirty cups. We did have a problem with our room curtains but this was resolved the same day we reported it. If the main pool is heated, they need to turn it up! It was still perishing although with the weather being as it has, there’s been little help from the sunshine. Sadly what dominates the pool area is a constant background hum from what I can only guess is a fan from the kitchens. Spa was overrated including treatments. The hotel is clearly not geared up for winter weather as it was always cold, with many sat in jackets and coats in the evenings. Shutting the front door sometimes would help. Whilst this appears negative, it is noted that there are significantly more expensive hotels in the area, so this is good value, but you will get what you pay for."

"Good hotel great staff pleasant courteous and professional.Not sure it’s 4 star.The food is good a little repetitive but as usual in Spain could be hotter.All in All a good experience."

"Hotel is nicely situated, we spent 5 nights there last week. Clean, airy room, on floor 3 looking over the sea, occasional slight disturbance with people moving furniture above us but otherwise fine. Friendly staff, plenty of choice of food and drink, it would seem there are two parts to the hotel which we hadn't realised and we were in the mainly adults area, although there were children there, the only difference was they were not allowed to put inflatables in the pool. They did have some activities for all ages around the pool but not in your face. Lovely sheltered pool areas. Direct access from the hotel to the promenade which takes you right through to Playa Blanca and the Marina. Spa area is nice if smaller than expected, but again staff were lovely and helpful and treatments we had were nice. Out of the front access there are a few shops & restaurants. Would definitely revisit. They even left us a complimentary bottle of fizz when I asked as it was a special trip."
