Papagayo Golden Palms Beachfront Hotel

Golden palms is absolutely gorgeous. The staff is incredible - friendly, helpful and they go out of their way to make you comfortable and to keep the facilities clean. The breakfast has freshly made eggs, French toast, black beans and rice, plantains, potatoes, cereal and amazing fruit. I recommend getting an iced coffee, which is included with breakfast. We loved the pool and had plenty of smoothies while swimming e with the kids and relaxing. Watermelon, strawberry or mango were all amazing. There are hammocks where you can lay and see the howler monkey families pass through in the morning or afternoon. We had dinner on the property and I highly recommend the grilled shrimp, which was part of my Caesar salad. All the food was delicious. The property is beautiful manicured and has beautiful birds and butterflies. I The staff also helped us to arrange a snorkel and boating outing, which was fantastic. We saw string raid, eels, bright fish and a puffer fish. We loved it here!

Loved our stay here! So quiet and quint. Beautiful grounds. Saw Congo monkey family flying in the trees eating mangos, and an iguana showed up for his breakfast at the restaurant every morning. It was delightful.

Our stay was great. The rooms were fantastic, with beautiful garden views. The grounds were gorgeous. The food was very good. The wait staff always remembered our names and were very helpful, kind, and attentive. We loved the fact that there were no children. We had a little room mix-up between our room and our friends, but the front desk had it all sorted out when we checked out. The only downsides were (1) there is no beach outside the property. You have to walk down a little way to find a good part of the beach where you can go into the ocean; (2) the pool really needs help. Tiles are missing. The filter system on one side of the pool wasn't working. The hot tub in the center of the pool was not hot. Even with those two cons, we'll be back.

The staff were extremely nice and attentive and grounds were very maintained. The restaurant, food, and bar were very good. I would recommend it to my friends and family.

Very scenic property, nice and relaxing for a family get away. Not many amenities at property or in immediate area. A rental car is a must at this resort. Staff were very friendly and accommodating and the property is well kept and clean. Food was limited but very good at the only restaurant on the property. Few other places down the road that were quite good
