We loved Margaritaville Costa Rica! It is right on the Playa de Flamingo which is a wonderful beach. The staff, the food, the drinks, the location & the sunsets where fabulous. We would only ask that who ever is in charge of the "pool music," please include some Jimmy Buffett songs. We where there for over two weeks and did not hear one Jimmy Buffett song over the stereo. (Fortunately, we brought our own music and small boom box.) We would definitely go back... hopefully soon. Pura Vida y tuanis mae!

The service was great. And the pool was nice. And the beach was very close. I would have liked more seafood at the hotel. And if you’re not into the late night stuff the music can be a little loud but otherwise it’s a good place

Disliked: Amenities
While the resort is fun not all the amenities advertised were available. We arranged for pick up at airport and someone was waiting but said we had to wait for the actual transportation. 45 minutes later we got our own taxi. When we tried to get a pedicure and manicure we were told they had no materials or people that do that even though it was listed for the spa. We tried to get boogie boards and were unable to. We took the children to the sand castle building contest area to be told the activities person was sick and the replacement person had worked the day before so could not come in. We did our own contest but it was disappointing for the kids. While everyone is nice and all is clean they do need to follow up on the small things that make a difference on vacation.

It’s an okay property. There were not a lot of alternative food choices for vegetarian people. The staff did try to make some accommodations. The staff in the Banana Hut were excellent. I like the area but I’m not sure if I would start at this particular location. The way the air conditioner it positioned, it blows right directly on the bed. This gave me a bit of a sore throat, but the rooms are small, so I don’t know how else they would be able to arrange the furniture. It definitely wasn’t quiet when we arrived at the property. But, this is their “branding “.

Building is dated, in dire need of renovation. Pool's murky w/ algae, sand, cracked/broken tiles. Tight bathroom w/ weak water pressure. Toilet doesn't flush all the way; toilet paper floats back up. Must flush couple of times! Raccoons & iguanas roaming the resort daily. DJ is lame; no daytime fun interactive games/events for guests to participate in. Resort plays the same music in continuous loop all day! If I don't hear another Jimmy Buffet song for a decade, I'd be grateful for small blessings! Have to cross a busy PUBLIC road to go to Flamingo Bch. Resort is 1.5 hours distance fr. Liberia Daniel airport. Not much to see via walking distance; one must drive elsewhere to see more activities, excursions or shops. Souvenir items sold @ resort gift shop & nearby mall are extremely expensive/extravagant! Go to Coco Bch. instead to buy souvenirs; it's more affordable there & local vendors are willing to lower prices if you haggle/bargain. Resort is secure, safe & quiet; located in an isolated cove; no hotels next door. NOV-DEC is quiet season w/ fewer guests. Guards on-duty 24/7 @ front/back gates. Security cameras thru out resort. W/ designated smoking areas. Beds are firm w/ fresh sheets, pillow covers & towels. Room's a/c is comfortably cold. Food's good & edible; 3 restaurants on-site w/ nice ocean view. Italian restaurant's lovely w/ excellent cuisine; wonderful service fr. Mauricio & David! All employees are friendly, welcoming, accommodating, helpful, hard @ work.

The only one star I took off is for food. Breakfast buffet is really limited to bread, eggs, rice, some weird options and sausage. Positive side you can order omelet at no additional charge, and there were fruits every day, that saved us. A la karte menu was okeish, nothing special but prices are high. The hotel is located right at the Flamingo Beach, it’s very convenient, service was great!
