The staff, Cindy and Hector, were excellent. The Villa on the Papapagay Resort was excelllent! I am not an AC person, so for us to have control of our own AC in our own 2 bedrooms was just wonderful. We had our own bathrooms too. The 80 degree weather with the continuous breeze from the huge wrap around porch (with the native birds visiting us) into the livingroom/kitchen added to our wonderful experience! There were only a few photos when I booked it, so I was pleasantly surprised. The 3-10 minute walk to the pool, beach and supermarket was perfect! The entertainment (DJs and band) and boutiques on the busy beach were great too! I am still talking about it to my friends and would joyfully stay there again! Cabs are expensive, so it is better to rent a car but Cindy Hector and another guy at the front desk that I cannot recall helped us with that. Peace Maria

Great Stay

The stay at the Papagayo villas is a comfort away from home. The villas are quiet and peaceful and have everything you could need during your stay. The salt water infinity pool at the hotel was also a great feature. Really love that you can share all of the hotel amenities.

Wonderful Stay

We loved our Villa! It had everything we needed for our family of 4. This property is located next to plenty of bars and restaurants and an easy drive to Willemstad. I don’t love to repeat vacation spots, but we might need to do this one again.

Property was nice, close to beach, cleaning staff and maintenance crew were great- kind , friendly and helpful. Since we had an ocean view villa we were close to the beach area and the music on Friday and Saturday late night kept us awake. Wish the rooms were sound proof.

Memorable

The staff was fantastic, specially the girls that work in the check in and the villa was spacious and comfortable. The only downside was the fact that there wasn’t air conditioning in the living room and the villa with ocean view wasn’t that close to the beach(around 10 minutes walking) The location is fantastic , because there is a supermarket in the papagayo complex and there are fancy beach clubs around , including Papagayo beach Club

Staff was very friendly and always helpful. However, the villas only have Air Conditioning in the bedrooms. The rest of the villa is basically outside with only shutter type doors and walls letting the hot outside air blow through day and night. Also sound goes in and out as well. There is little privacy. Only one TV in the main room which means ALL OF YOUR NEIGHBORS will hear your TV too. I tried watching TV at 10 pm but neighbors called the management to complain about me! I had to slide the couch to within 5 feet of the TV so I could hear it and not disturb anyone outside my villa. Very frustrating! Then there's the ants. Everywhere. If you set down anything food related, ants will be in it within minutes. I had to store all food in the refrigerator to keep ants away. I will not stay here again.

Outdoor was nice. Gated property, manicured well. Inside was old dated and poorly furnished. Supplies were low and had request for soap and shampoo daily. Beach towels needed to exchange daily. Access to the beach was good. Restaurants and shopping was good. Easy access and parking by car. Just to wish the inside was furnished to meet a four star upscale residence. It was to 2-star at best.

Liked: Communication
The location in Jan Thiel was great. We could walk across the street to the beach or Beach Club, as well as multiple restaurants. The villa itself was underwhelming. It seemed old and a little dirty, the doors didn’t work well so one of the bathroom doors kept slamming in the wind - I had to put a towel under it to keep it from slamming and waking me up. It was really nice to open the doors to see the ocean view but there was no AC in the living spaces which made it a little uncomfortable at times. It would’ve been nice to have the option of turning it on at some point. Overall, it was ok. Good location, villa wasn’t great. Won’t go back.
