Hotel Mirador Papagayo by LIVVO

"Everything perfect: location, room, restaurant, pool area, spa, and staff excellent for kindness and professionalism"

"This was our third visit to this hotel, the first time, I came as a solo traveller and loved it and felt very safe. Have been holidaying here for 30 years and stayed at lots of different hotels of varying star ratings. Booking a sea view room is a must worth every penny. This hotel just suits us, we feel at home the minute we arrive. The staff are very friendly and go out of their way to help you if there's a problem We were worried about the change of lunch only at the pool bar, but the selection has been increased, and it was fine for us. It's not all paper plates, theres plenty of bbq style recyclable crockery too My only criticism would be that some of the themed nights in the resturants were a little odd e.g mexican night also had Chinese food and Indian samosas One or the other would have been better Would I come here again? Definitely am booking for christmas and new year 2027 as soon as we get home"

"My husband and I went to this hotel in September for 10 nights. We had a junior suite sea view which was beautiful and picturesque of the sea and surrounding areas couldn't fault it and it as a nice balcony which had 2 chairs and a table and 2 sun loungers. Our room was nice and spacious with a separate lounge, the bedroom had a walk in wardrobe, safe, iron and ironing board couldn't fault the room, it was cleaned everyday and clean towels daily, thank you to the staff who cleaned them. The location was very nice, lovely walk to the marina which was about 15 minutes, and about 40 mins to the beach with sunbeds & brollies and the sea easy to get in beautiful. The hotel was nice just a few things what let it down, air con in our room was fine but if you went in the bar in the reception it was like a sauna, we used to go for a couple drinks before we went to eat and it was so hot and uncomfortable, my husband went to receptionist and asked why there was no air con on and the man on reception said that they only had it on in the restaurant and in the rooms 🥵 Food was hit and miss some days you would have something which was really hot then another the food was cold, shame about that cause some of the food when warm was really nice, what I didn't like and have never been in an hotel like this before is have lunch in the pool snack bar, served on paper plates, and it was more fast food like burgers, hotdogs, chips this is alright maybe for a couple days but not 10, I would prefer to sit in the restaurant and eat off proper plates and be sat comfortable not on tables like being in a work canteen. Entertainment was good on the nights we went and watched them, didn't start while 21.45 we didn't mind that though. Papagayo is really a quiet and peaceful location if you are wanting something more livelier you would need to go more to playa blanca. If the hotel didn't have the issues I have mentioned i would definitely have rated this a 4 star, Even with some of the negatives I have given it we still enjoyed our holiday and if the price was right we would go again but not for 10 nights probably 7"
