Hotels in Matapalo

"Nice grounds and adequate rooms with nice personnel. Food same night after night at buffet mostly- salad bar and fruit best and stick with made to order items when can otherwise. No beach presence. You can get your own chairs at Palace in trees and drag (heavy) yourself. No town near by. Expensive for what it is. "

"Room was in good condition and large with kitchen. Comfortable bed. Beach sand is soft. Pools were nice and at top of hill with the food & drinks. Some common areas need a bit of maintenance/upkeep. Rooms are down the steep hill in rows. Stayed in 300's about 1/2 way down. Walking down was not bad, did not need to walk up as shuttle arrived at the right times. The shuttle ran a loop that seemed pretty frequent. They say every 5-15 min, but never had to wait even 5. Only time I saw it full was the 7am first run when everyone wanted breakfast then too. Though the resort did not seem very crowded. Food and drinks are the low point. Beer is local Imperial which is good. Only have about 5 bottles of generic alcohol for anything else. One rum, scotch, tequila, vodka, and maybe a couple more bottles. So they can't make all drinks. No name brand bottles like the Expedia pictures show. Food is also limited. About a 6 warming tray buffet. Generally the meat was too tough to cut with the knives they provided. Saw someone with burgers, but not sure how to get one of those. Dessert was good. Breakfast they can make omlets."

"Everything was perfect! So many employees staying on top of Everything. We caught a SkipJack fish & the chef cooked/blackened it for us to Perfection. Just a short walk fown the beach & u can feed local monkeys."
