I recently stayed at Papagayo Golden Palms and had a wonderful experience. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, always making sure we had everything we needed. The property is beautifully maintained, with lush gardens and a very peaceful atmosphere — you can tell they take great pride in keeping it in top condition. The food was also a highlight, with fresh, delicious options that added to the whole experience. If you’re looking for a relaxing getaway with great service, beautiful surroundings, and good food, I highly recommend staying here!

This was the best place we could have picked to stay! The staff was absolutely outstanding with their service and were so friendly and helpful! The food was excellent. The rooms were exceptionally clean and stayed cool all day. We walked the beach and spent lots of time at the pool. It was not over crowded like other places where you can’t even find a chair. In the pool you get to see the monkeys in the mango treee right above you taking naps and eating mangos. It was magical! Breakfast is free and was so good too. I will definitely go back I miss it already! Thank you to - Jeilor, Sergio, Federico, Edwin, Roland, Hailey, Andrea and all the staff that were so fun!

One of the best experiences we have had staying at a resort! The minute we got there we were treated like royalty! you will not find a better more attentive and friendly staff anywhere! The place is beautiful,quiet,clean and welcoming. It was perfect for us to getaway from the rat race for a week and and enjoy the surroundings the beautiful pool and the wildlife especially the mango tree full of monkeys!! They have 1 restaurant on the premises and the food is delicious!!! Again we would not hesitate to go back. The staff is one of the biggest reasons for that. Every single one of them we can actually call friends by the end of our trip! We were tired of the "all inclusives" with the sometimes loud and sometimes obnoxious crowds you can get at times! This was our perfect sanctuary!! Steve & Grace

We loved Golden Palms! The staff is so friendly! The food is amazing.mThe rooms are nice and big. Bed is very comfortable. The pool is huge. We liked the quietness of the resort. Edwin and Federico were amazing at the pool side bar. Any activity you would like to do they will have it to you quickly. We did jet skis and they were there within minutes. Playa Hermosa is a 5 min drive. We did choose to go eat there a couple of nights. We would definitely stay here again !

The only option available for us was a family style room. It was spacious in that there were two queen beds and a sitting area. Our patio was completely secluded due to the trees in front. The property itself is so beautifully landscaped. Your stress will melt away! The staff is friendly and accomodating. I asked for an iron and one was delivered promptly, though they weren't sure if there were any. It was away from the town area and anything you do away from there will cost a grip to get to. Perfect getaway for a couple!

We were welcomed with drinks and cool towels. It was such a quiet property during this time of the year! The landscaping of the property was beautiful & colorful with the walkways paved with florals, definitely gives a tropical vibe! So much lush greenery. 10-15 min away from playa de coco & zi lounge; about 30min from the airport in the early AM hours. We had no issues getting an uber at 530am. Hotel has on site restaurant. Roland was the best; we ordered ribs& fries, short rib, salmon tartar, bbq wings, shrimp plate and spinach ravioli & left completely stuffed with leftovers. *strawberry margarita was the crowd pleaser for drinks There is also a pool with semi-private beach and equipment available to use (kayak, paddleboard), sun beds and hammocks overlooking the water. They also offer spa treatments on site. The room & restroom were spacious (shower was huge), with a living room area and private patio enclosed with tall plants for privacy. Everyone was so friendly and helpful during our short stay here. We can’t wait to come back !

If you want to enjoy your vacay, please avoid this This place. It deserves one star and that it’s only because of their staff. For starters they don’t even have water available after 8pm. Not bar or food after 8pm ( in the middle of now where) Mislead advertising about “ocean front” it’s just a mud Internet doesn’t work There’s no iron in the room When water it’s available it cost 8 dollars per Bottle. (some cheap label water) Worst place to Stay. We even left earlier.
