Andaz Costa Rica Resort at Peninsula Papagayo – A concept by Hyatt is a luxurious resort located in the Costa Rican jungle near Culebra. It boasts an on-site spa and gym, plus a swimming pool and 3 on-site restaurants. There is also a tennis court, water sports on-site or zip-line between trees and canopies.

We absolutely loved our say here. We loved the privacy, the serenity and the peace of the hotel, the staff were so attentive and so incredibly friendly, the food was divine and we had access to so many activities in the area. Our favourites were bike riding, jet skiing and the little private ocean bays. We'll be coming back again in October :D.

Overlooking Culebra Bay’s spectacular cliffs, this all-inclusive, adults-only complex offers a private beach, 2 freeform swimming pools and a spa. Each stylish room has a balcony with partial views of the bay.

The buffet was quite delicious. The beach worth the walk. The transit taxi friendly and a lovely bonus for getting around the resort. Wait staff was super understanding about language barriers and had plenty of patience for those of us who tried hard to express ourselves.

    Our third time staying at this resort. We love the wildlife about the property and the staff are exceptional. Beach access and amenities keep improving over the years. Stayed in a master suite this visit and loved the outdoor seating areas off the rooms.

    The perfect way to end our vacation. Loved the ocean beach and the abundance of parrots flying around the resort. We even saw a family of monkeys around the property.

    We have stayed here 4 years ago and the resort has been sold and is completely different. My wife is disabled and has mobility issues. We chose this place because it was small and she could maneuver around.

    Wow! This place was all I expected and then some! From check in to check out I have never stayed at a resort with such helping, kind and genuine staff. They totally went out of their way to make your stay a successful and rememberable vacation. From Alphonso the manager to Joseph, Christina, Jordan and our bartender Dennis everyone was great and happy to make your stay special! The dining and kitchen staff were wonderful. Housekeepers went above and beyond their duties. We will definitely be returning in the future.

    Paradise resort with great pools and remarkable service. I'd like to address some of the occasional negative reviews regarding the dining experience at this resort: This is a moderate priced resort in a high price country. The food is excellent and we loved it, but it is not the 5-Star gourmet dining you get in a 5-times-more-expensive french ski resort.

    The resort is well kept and the staff is very nice and accommodating. My room was comfortable, especially the bed. Large bathroom with walk in shower. The food was pretty good. The best massages are given on the beach. Be prepared to see wildlife, this resort is in the middle of nature.
