Hotel Mirador Papagayo by LIVVO

Check-in was rather slow but we were given a glass of fizz. Our room was very nice, bathroom needed some updating but we had an excellent shower. The pool area is great, plenty of beds and most areas had sun all day. The pool was slightly heated but not enough. We were all inclusive and breakfast was great but lunch and dinner were poor. Meat was poor quality, fatty or tough, apart from the roast chicken we had one evening which was very nice. We used the spa one day as the weather was poor. The spa was great. I had a massage which was excellent, although I wasn't asked to provide any medical details which I usually am. I had a pedicure, which was advertised as 55 Euros. When I went to pay I was charged 65 Euros as I had gell Polish on my nails which they removed. They only had regular Polish when my toes were repainted. The pedicure wasn't great, nail varnish was a little messy. I went to my salon at home today and they were appalled at my nails. They had not removed all the gell Polish underneath the regular Polish but had actually made a hole in one of my toenails where the gell had been filed off. I would not have a manicure or pedicure there again. Entertainment was ok but was literally for about an hour. Once the show was over the lights came on and everyone had to leave. I think it would have been nice if there had been some music so that we could have danced or had a drink after the show. There were beautiful views, nice walks to the marina but would I go again? No! It was a restful week but not a 4 star hotel.

Absolutely fantastic 4* Hotel .Myself and daughter stayed for 4 nights and didn’t want to leave . Great location , immaculately clean and hot buffet food with plenty of choice and continuously re plenished, also long meal times too which I thought was good.loved how you could refill water bottles for free with the numerous machines dotted about ( always have to pay for water wherever we’ve been before ) and help yourself to water with your meals when half board option.We had a family room in the annexe which worked so well for us , I had a twin room to myself whilst daughter ( 23yr old) had the entire lounge to herself which had two modern sofa bed's and above ample space having full fridge little freezer , all cooking equipment etc .Little thing but first time we’ve been abroad and had full range of English tv channels Even the shower gel smelt divine We had a morning in the exquisite Spa, it was out of this world ,lovely calming music and Insence burning that adds that extra calming touch . Everything’s been thought of here , the little touches that stand out and make for an exceptional holiday .Cannot recommend enough,loved everything about this hotel !

Me and my grandma stayed at the mirador papagayo hotel for 2 weeks and it was amazing. The staff where lovely and helpful, the entertainment was great and the facilities are lovely.Perfect spot for a quiet getaway.The food was good with many options for everyone but sometimes a bit cold (maybe due to the weather) . All staff spoke a range of languages which made visiting very easy. The only one complaint would be the WiFi.. It's not great but works in most places.

Firstly, the rooms are clean, serviced and more than adequate. Secondly, the hotel staff are awesome, nothing is too much trouble. Pools are lovely too. However. Very let down by our dining experience. Whilst lots to choose, very low budget, hot food was sadly luke warm, felt herded like cattle, waiting for a table when there were loads of free tables that were free. Reminded us of a school canteen. Recommended this Hotel, but B&B only

Beautiful setting and good hotel. Rooms/bathrooms lovely sized and full sea view beautiful. Beds comfy. Good air conditioning. Nice pool and loungers. It was 24 degrees heat in May. Staff ok. Mainly not very friendly with British people. There's a lovely marina coastal walk 25 minutes to a place with many restaurants and a lovely Oasis bar with live music most evenings in high season. For all inclusive the drinks were good enough, food selection ok, especially fruit and salad. But, it's all very very bland. Some exceptions, but even the feta cheese was tasteless. But for the price if not staying more than a week it's enough to pass and survive. Evening entertainment quite dated, but good for younger families. Biggest plus is the spa. Worth spending two hours there. Nearby marina shops are lovely, especially Freedom ethical cotton boutique. It's a really great hotel to sunbathe, have a few drinks and get an early night. It's not a party place. You need to be nearer the airport for dinner crowd. For a group of 40yr old girlies it's was just right

Amazing all around. Fantastic for families. Food not great as per reviews. But location and good nearby restaurants. Deserts and cheeseboard good. Everything else average. But staff helpful and friendly But everything else spit on; bar service, animation team. Room good and housekeeping team great.
