This is not an all inclusive. It is at best a food and drink package with very limited selection. CHEAP BEER AND BELOW BOTTOM SHELF ALCOHOL. Very limited food selections. Room service not included. RACCOONS SWIMMING IN POOL AT NIGHT. Felt like a motel more than a Margaritaville. Beach which is not part of property is beautiful though.

When you go on a vacation you want it to be more than a place you could visit close to home. Overall stay was just ok. For instance. Paying all inclusive. We had 4 people in a room we got 1 wash cloth everyday an 2 waters. Had problems getting service the pool bar a the 5 a clock somewhere eating area. I seen a drink get spilled by the pool early one day an was still there when we went out for dinner. I asked on one occasion to speak to a manager an said the would see if one was available. Waiting for a few told the over mind a they took my room number. I was never contacted one the issue. I don’t want to say this is a bad place just needs better management. I myself will probably not come back to this area. Not a lot to due. Excursions are 2 to 2.5 hours one way. Most roads are very rough for travel to. Airport is small. No problem getting a ride to hotel. We was told to be back at airport 3 hours early. Good thing. Short line check in. Long line through security. 2.5 hours from check in to plane. My rating on my trip all together 6 out of 10.

We enjoyed Margraritaville Beach Resort Playa Flamingo in Costa Rica, the resort was clean, pool was awesome, beautiful beach, the restaurants and food were good. All the staff were friendly and helpful, especially Fiona and Wendolyn along with the guys cooking the meals at the Capriccios Pizza Bistro and Cafe they made our meals there so much fun as we ate there five evenings, we will definitely miss them. Also Flowor Soto the concierge was so friendly and helpful. We had a great 2 weeks of vacation and would definitely return.

This hotel was super family friendly. So much to do for the kids including the pool, on site volleyball and a clean, close beach. Food was great. The location was the only downside. The roads to get there were not good and it took a long time to get to what looked like nearby attractions.

Great property close to a beautiful beach. Beach chairs available from the resort. Only downside is there was only 1elevator in the lobby area and none that went to our room on the 3rd floor or to the parking area. We asked if we could be moved to a lower floor and they refused and didn’t give an explanation. This doesn’t usually bother me but we were travelling with 3 kids under 5 and had our stroller wagon which we had to carry up and down the stairs which wasn’t convenient. So if you need an accessible hotel I would maybe look elsewhere.

I recently stayed at Margaritaville in Playa Flamingo, Costa Rica, and while it’s rated as a four-star resort, I would personally give it closer to three stars. There were definitely some high points, but also a few areas that need improvement. Pros: • Beautiful Location – Being right on the beach is the biggest highlight of this resort. The views are stunning, and the easy beach access is a major plus. • Clean Rooms – Housekeeping did a great job keeping the rooms spotless and well-maintained. • Excursions – Booking excursions was a seamless process, making it easy to explore beyond the resort. Cons: • Understaffed Spa – The spa was not properly staffed, making it difficult to set up treatments and enjoy a relaxing experience. • Subpar Food – The dining options were underwhelming, lacking variety and quality. • Limited Activities – Aside from the beach and pool, there wasn’t much to do at the resort itself. • Strained Check-in Process – The check-in experience felt a bit disorganized. A more welcoming and informative process would have been appreciated. There was no map of the property provided, nor was there a clear explanation of the resort’s amenities. Overall, the location and cleanliness were strong points, but the resort could use improvements in service, food quality, and organization to truly live up to its four-star rating. If you’re looking for a simple beach stay, it works, but if you want a full resort experience with great dining and activities, you m
