We enjoyed our 1 week stay but whatever the brochures may say this is defintely a 3* resort due to the limited facilities - one main restaurant , one bar, no activities and mediocre beach (no Spa!). However if you are not looking for a party place, can book it a good price as we did, and want to use... more

As a Christmas gift my whole family went. Basically, Costa Rica is the most beautiful place EVER. TONS to do! Pros: Clean Pool Snacks Lots of food choices every day ( however, similar selection from day to day) Monkeys in the trees! Clean rooms Wait Staff = So nice! Cons: Only one bar Front desk people wernt the nicest I... more

We just came back from a 7 day stay at Sol Papagayo and had a great time. We were met and picked up at the airport by Sunwing reps who gave a good basic orientation to the resort and Costa Rica. This resort is in a nice location with a black sand beach, nice simple villas and great staff who... more

Sol Papagayo met our expectations but our tastes may not be representative. We wanted a quiet resort without the noise and partying we found at an all-inclusive resort in Mexico. Sol Papagayo resort is amazingly quiet – about the only thing you hear at night from your room is the howler monkey family that hangs out around the pool area... more

My partner and I had the pleasure of staying is this relaxing, well maintained resort. It had just changed owners when we arrived and there were a few changes being made. One of those were staffing the facility. Some of the staff from the previous owners had stayed and there were new staff being brought on board. Our room was... more

El Nakuti Papagayo was a dream come true! The rooms were very comfortable, with a short walk to the dining hall, bar and the pool. Dennis at the bar is a wonderful bartender and a great host. His easy manner and personality made the stay excellent. He even took the time to learn our names, and that is no mean... more

I have just come back from a one week stay at El Nakuti Resort (which has just changed ownership and is now called Sol Papagayo Resort). I had an absolutely wonderful time and would definately recommend this resort for people who are looking for a quiet place to relax. There were very few guests there when we arrived, which meant... more

I read a lot of the reviews for this resort before deciding to go. I was a little bit worried about some reviews that said the place was dirty and that the same food was served day in and day out. Because of the price and proximity to friends that live in CR, I decided to give it a try... more

We were first time visitors to Costa Rica and the El Nakuti resort, visiting during March break - March 10 - 17, 2008. Although our flight was delayed due to weather the previous weekend in Toronto, the El Nakuti staff kept the buffet and bar open past the normal closing time so we all had a chance to eat and... more
