Wonderful! We hope to return. We had the best trip! This was our second time in Papagayo and I am already trying to figure out when we can return. The property was clean and nice and the location was perfect. We were able to rent a golf court and have tons of excellent options for dining and activities within minutes of the golf cart ride.

El Sueno is a beautiful property in Papagayo. Very spacious and well appointed (even more so than the photos depict!) The unit had everything we needed and was conveniently located to all that the peninsula has to offer. Ana was very attentive to all of our needs during our stay.
