Frustratingly Close to Perfect: But Beats 4 Seasons

The Andaz Costa Rica Resort Papagayo is a luxe resort on Costa Rica’s on Papagayo Peninsula, and part of our best resorts in Costa Rica series. In this video I’ll give you a full tour, show you what I loved and what may be a deal breaker for you. The resort’s in Guanacaste Province, offering a blend of modern design and nice views of the water. This 151-room resort, part of the Hyatt group.
The resort's rooms and suites are divided into four categories: forest view, partial bay view, bay view, and Andaz large suites, each with a private balcony or terrace. The resort has three pools, including an adult-s only pool, all surrounded by cabanas and sun loungers.
The Andaz Costa Rica also has a full-service spa, offering a range of treatments inspired by local traditions and ingredients, as well as a 24-hour fitness center and a lot of daily activities such as yoga, snorkeling, and birdwatching.
There are four unique restaurants here: Chao Pescao, the resort's signature restaurant, with tapas-style dining and often live music, Rio Bhongo is a casual all-day restaurant that serves international cuisine and is most busy in the morning as the only breakfast venue, Ostra is the resort’s fine-dining venue and overlooks the bay, and there’s a restaurant at the hotel’s main beach that’s a boat ride away. The resort is just a 35-minute drive from Daniel Oduber Quirós International Airport in Liberia and a 4-hour drive from Juan Santamaría International Airport in San José.
