We weren’t sure what to expect, but it was a perfect location. The beach was really fun, clean and quiet! We had a rental car and went out exploring other beaches both north and south, but Flamingo was the best for hanging out and playing in the waves with the boogie board. Surfing at Tamarindo was fun but the beach itself was very busy. Margaritaville was an easy enough drive from the airport and the national park to go hike the waterfalls and volcano. If you drive yourself, be aware route 911 has a washout and you will have to drive through a small bit of riverbed. It sounds worse than it is, plenty of sedans made it through. It was dark when we first encountered it but once we drove it in the daylight it was no big deal. Traffic can be intense from 4-7 pm on the roads coming in and out of town. If you like setting your own schedule and exploring independently, definitely rent a car. Parking is free at Margaritaville! The staff was lovely, rooms very clean and loved being walking distance to numerous restaurants. Overall it was a great place to stay for our first trip to Costa Rica.

We actually got to experience three different types of rooms while we were there because we got married - we checked into the standard room which was great (a balcony overlooking the pool) and then the honeymoon suite for 3 nights which was AMAZING, following that we were moved into a 1 bedroom ocean view suite, which was also amazing. It had two balconys, a kitchenette, living room, bedroom and bathroom. One of the balconys had sun loungers and the other had a table and chairs. The staff at the resort were fabulous, the food was great, the atmosphere was also great! The location was perfect as the beach that it is on was stunning. I really do not have much to complain about. It is a very small resort, one pool, I believe 4 places to eat (open at different times) but we found it just perfect.

My stay was great, now I truly understand the term ‘pura vida”; thank you to Priscilla and Jose, Felix , and the many other workers and staff(too many to recall all the names), from the staff at its 5 o’clock somewhere to the banana wind restaurant as well as the Italian restaurant Capriccios Pizza Bistro & Cafe and of course the swim up bar License to chill, it was amazing. So much I can say the front desk, housekeeping always accommodating and understanding; to make me and my family stay pleasant definitely a place to go!!

Staff was great, resort and rooms were very clean. Food was good. Only draw back was that it sits on a public beach and there were no resort chairs unless you carried them there from the towel area. The beach itself was good not rocky and fairly clear. Didn’t see much in the water though.

Very clean and great staff. Food was OK and mostly the same every day. If you smoke you have to basically leave the property just a heads up on that. Otherwise very nice small quiet (for the most part) relaxing place. Also if you are an early riser and you drink coffee they will not let you in the buffet to get coffee before 6:30am. This goes for all and if you have an excursion that leaves early this would be an issue. They should definitely have it available somewhere accessible. They do have coffee makers in the room but just make sure it works.
