Top Playa Venado Hotel Reviews

Occidental Papagayo - Adults Only - All inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"We really enjoyed the service in the buffet restaurant. We liked that they had activities and games available. Beautiful resort with Beautiful views."

Planet Hollywood Costa Rica by Royalton, An Autograph Collection All-Inclusive Resort

10/10 Excellent

"We had a fantastic family vacation at Planet Hollywood Resort – Costa Rica. Our Star Class Director’s Suite (two-bedroom unit) was perfect for our family of four with two teens. The suite was clean, fresh, and clearly recently updated. A real highlight was our personal host, Justin. He was personable, attentive, and genuinely accommodating—always ready to help with the little things that made the stay even better. Thank you, Justin! The property overall looked well maintained and inviting. The specialty restaurants served good food. We weren’t fans of the buffet, but that wasn’t an issue since we had no trouble securing reservations (the Star Class upgrade clearly helped with that). Staff throughout the resort were consistently friendly—everyone greeted us with a smile and offered to help. If you’re interested in tours, Planet Hollywood partners with Nexus and offers plenty of solid options. We did three excursions and all were excellent: a day of offshore fishing with convenient beach pickup in front of the hotel, a whitewater rafting trip that exceeded expectations, and a nearby adventure park featuring an impressive zip-line course and animal sanctuary. Overall, we had a great week. Thanks to the Planet Hollywood team for an amazing family vacation."

Nekajui Peninsula Papagayo, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing overall top notch … The place is a hidden paradise I would suggest dinner menu to be a bit more simple … less is more sometimes. Overall great! From the welcoming to the good bye .. I can’t wait to come back"

Villa Mila Penthouse -concierge+ Peninsula Papagayo!

10/10 Excellent

"We spent last week at Villa Mila or Terrazas #11. If you have a larger family (read: 3 kids) or are two smaller families who want to share a place, this is a great option.The property has a great, modern feel to it that is comparable to any of the upscale resorts that you could stay at on the peninsula. I had originally planned to stay at the Four Seasons, but did not want to spring for two adjoining rooms or a villa. We bought a day pass for the Four Seasons while we were there, and I could not be more happy that I decided to stay at Villa Mila instead. The house is fairly centrally located. Andaz is about a 12-minute drive, but Papagayo Park, Nacascolo Beach, Prieta Beach Club, Nekajui (the Ritz), and the Four Seasons are all basically 5-7min away or less via golf cart. I do HIGHLY recommend renting a golf cart from the owners. This was a great advantage over staying at a resort; we had a lot of mobility and independence due to having our own golf cart. I also HIGHLY recommend going to Prieta Beach Club. I think combining the Prieta Beach Club with Villa Milla basically gives you a higher-end experience than you would get at one of the resorts. Beautiful beach, pools, and restaurants with great food at the club, but you can still go back to your spacious home with a view of the bay. The complex has two pools (we only used one) and has a stunning view. The concierge service was also great and was readily available during business hours to answer questions"

10/10 Excellent

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a fantastic stay at Casa Verde! The condo is beautiful, well-appointed and very comfortable. The bedrooms and bathrooms are newly remodeled with modern decor and features. Every space was beautiful and comfortable. The service was excellent! We had groceries delivered which were in the unit before we arrived along with a gift basket of treats for the week. We will definitely stay here again! Pura Vida!"
