Comfortable, spacious. Lock in sliding door to balcony broken but fixed straightaway next morning. Food was excellent, service could not be faulted throughout the hotel. Staff very courteous. Easy...

We have just returned from 2 weeks all inclusive at the Iberostar Papagayo. This hotel is very good value for money. We upgraded to a sea view room and were allocated one on the third floor (the floor below reception and bar area as the hotel is built on a hill side. We had a patio rather than a balcony... More

The hotel was full when we went, but still everything went smoothly. Staff at the reception was very friendly, efficient and surprisingly multilingual, and the personnel at the restaurant handled the situation in a very professional and friendly way. Some parents of the many children (it was Easter Holidays) could however have helped the staff greatly by telling their offspring... More

Booked for a short holiday in may and expected a crowded place with average food and service, but nice enough to rest and get a tan. But the hotel turned out a pleasant surprise. Instead of the booked doubles, we got an upgrading to a 3 rooms/2 bathrooms suite with superbe seaside view. The hotel was clean and airy, the... More

Just returned from this hotel and one of the reasons we went was the good reviews we looked at beforehand. Unfortunately, this was not our experience. The food for the 14 nights was constantly lukewarm and both myself and husband had upset stomachs most of the fortnight. Plenty selection but it would be better to concentrate on less variety and...

Stayed at the Iberostar Papagayo for 10 days on half board basis. Hotel is spotlessly clean, and reception staff were extremely helpful, booking in only taking 5 minutes to complete. Booked a sea view room 439, which overlooked Papagayo Bay. What a fabulous view to wake up to each morning. Bedding was changed every two days and room was large... More

The hotel is out of the centre of Playa Blanca. You need a car to visit most of the attractions, although there is an hourly courtesy bus that takes you into the middle of the town. The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful, speaking a variety of European languages. The hotel is very child friendly so is ideal for... More
