Andaz Peninsula Papagayo Resort, Costa Rica, by Hyatt 5 stars

Papagayo, Guanacaste

Andaz Costa Rica Resort at Peninsula Papagayo – A concept by Hyatt is a luxurious resort located in the Costa Rican jungle near Culebra. It boasts an on-site spa and gym, plus a swimming pool and 3 on-site restaurants. There is also a tennis court, water sports on-site or zip-line between trees and canopies. EVERYTHING!! This hotel is an absolute gem! You feel special there from the moment you drive up to the entrance and are greeted by name till the last second of checking out. My daughter stayed at this hotel for 2 nights 2 months before our visit. When we walked into the lobby the young gentleman Jerson at the front desk immediately recognized her and her son. Not only did he remember them visually - he remembered various details about them! A similar thing happened when we went to the restaurant - the staff there remembered her and her kid! By day 2 of staying there it seemed like every staff member there knew our name and room number, knew what kind of coffee we like for breakfast, and what kind of smoothie our kid prefers at lunch. When my grandson (who already stayed there two months prior) came to the kids club - all the girls there remembered his name and met him with open arms. He loved this kid's club so much - we couldn't get him out of there. It's been a month since we came back and he still keeps asking when we are going to go back there. Every woman in that kid's club is absolutely wonderful - I wish could mention all of them here. On top of that - the grounds, the rooms, the beach house, the restaurants, the views - everything is breathtaking! The service is top-notch. The beach is amazing! Jerson at the front desk, after learning that it was my 70th Birthday, arranged an upgrade for us for a reasonable price and we got one of the best rooms in the hotel! He made our stay super-special and memorable and we are immensely grateful! Monkeys visited us on the beach daily, and activities in the hotel abound - we went on a super-fun electric mountain bike tour around the peninsula. I couldn't imagine a better stay. Thank you, Andaz! We can't wait to be back!

The food was lovely with something for everyone and we visited all the different restaurants during our stay. The swimming pool area was relaxing even over the busy weekend when there were more guests on site. The gym was well equipped and the spa experience very enjoyable. It has to be said that the polite, cheerful and friendly staff really made our stay very pleasant.
