Our stay at Margaritaville Beach Resort was wonderful. We had a fairly short trip ( 4 days and 3 nights) but it was just enough time to enjoy this quaint resort and get in some fun excursions. The people were very welcoming and the resort has a beautiful central pool/ swim up bar and you can walk right out back to the amazing blue water beach. Although it was the Rainy season, had minimal rain and it didn't stop the fun. Limited eating options but we its all inclusive -- also very nice town ( even with a Casino) within walking distance outside of the resort which we did not have time to explore ( but would certainly recommend). Resort is 1.5 from airport--and we did Buena Vista park which was a great park for exercursions ( about 2 hr drive from resort). Would certainly recommend and would return!!

The hotel was clean and attractive. Most of the meals we had were very well prepared (didn't enjoy the steak sandwich or shrimp tacos at 5OClock ). Everything at the downstairs breakfast area was very good ( tradewinds cafe?) ❤️Loved the pineapple salad with shrimp, buffalo chicken sandwich at the pool bar and dinner at Capriccios was excellent. The ease of switching between the beach and the pool was appreciated. We had the beach almost to ourselves and it was beautiful. Staff was very friendly and attentive throughout our stay. I would also recommend a walk down the beach road to coco loco. We only had drinks there, but food looked good too Location for yoga was not clear and a few people in our group missed it because the location changed from what was posted

If you are staying at this hotel, go simply because it is located on Flamingo Beach. That would make it worth the stay. DO NOT book the all inclusive. The food is absolutely terrible. Barely edible. We paid 200 extra per day and spend maybe 30 on one lunch and vowed to not eat at the banana wind cafe again. Worst food I’ve had in as long as I can remember. The bar staff were fine, the front desk was very hit or miss. I had a couple of staff members act rudely, we were nearly charged 40 extra dollars for misplacing our towel rental cards. Towel rental? Never heard of such a thing. We just went without towels for the stay. The location is absolutely gorgeous and I believe the only way this “resort” is able to stay in business. I’m sure there are other resorts at Playa Flamingo to choose. If you choose this one, do not get all inclusive unless you want to spend 200 a day to go off site for your meals.

Amazing!
Location is amazing, right across the street from beautiful Playa Flamingo Beach. All of the staff we encountered were friendly and welcoming. The cleaning and landscaping staff did an excellent job of keeping the hotel clean and beautiful. Breakfast was Del and there were many options to choose from. Tips: a lot of items are very expensive in Costa Rica so bring a refillable water bottle, sunscreen, toiletries, etc. to avoid additional costs. We appreciated that the hotel had multiple water stations to fill up our water bottles.
