Great resort located on Flamingo Beach. The resort sits off the Pacific Ocean so the water is very beautiful and very rough. The property is beautiful, located in a beautiful small area that has a plaza right across the street and a Marina within walking distance. This is a great location for couples even though the resort is open to families.

What a great place! They say if you love your job, you'll never work a day. I've never seen staff who were as happy to be at work. Everyone was smiling and cheerful every day. Their work reflected their attitude. Everything was clean and well maintained, and things were always done right. The pool was sparkling clean each morning. The room was always made up perfectly. The restaurants were all excellent with very attentive staff. The pool bar was exceptional. Great drinks created by happy, smiling bartenders. Don't fail to have a cheeseburger from the 5 o'clock somewhere grill! This is truly a bit of paradise. I'll single out just a few. Scott, the manager, deserves credit for keeping his staff happy and performing the way they do! Carol at the front desk, Elias, Juan Pablo, Felippe, Nadezca at the pool bar. Mabel, our perfect housekeeper. The maintenance guys who are always smiling and hard at work. The landscaping crew who keep it looking great. All the waiters and waitresses at every restaurant. This was a top notch experience. I'll also recommend the sunset catamaran excursion from the marina. That was a highlight. We'll definitely be back!

We enjoyed a great family stay. Comfortable beds and room for all 5 of us. The pool was great. Really appreciated the covered kids pool. Though would have like to see more shade/umbrellas at the pool. Or less people (who seemed to never show up) saving those seats with towels. The swim up bar was a great feature and all who work there were friendly and kind especially to our kids and their seemingly non stop pina coladas. All the food was good. Though disappointing to buffet other than at breakfast. From what we understood this was due to lower occupancy. Although the daily buffet theme was still advertised on the activity’s board. Live music at the 5 o clock somewhere bar was excellent both nights we went. The beach is beautiful and only a few steps across a sandy road to get there. Security guys happily got us chairs when we asked. Location was great with the marina and bit of shopping close by. Felt safe to walk. Definitely would stay again at Margaritaville Playa Flamingo

mixed bag. more of a 2 star hotel than a resort. The setup with the beach was a real letdown. we knew there was a road between beach and hotel, but it is chaos, dirt road traffic jam all day, dust, honking no space on beach for hotel guests (competing with public who bring tents chairs etc. plunk down around main entrance). no shade, lots of people. beach has little depth also, so we didn't really go on it although it's the main attraction. the property is cramped and nestled between beach entrance and only road; tons of people walking on road next to parking entrance. Rooms small, gym lobby upstairs need updating, food was ok more like diner style, + tiny buffet, tiny indoor seating not really any ac. Italian resto was acceptable have to book at 7 am. we had all inclusive, but food very limited, only one "main" resto besides Italian resto, both small, + pool bar for small meals. for the price we paid (very high) i was expecting more. maybe this is the smallest Margaritaville in the chain. I don't know, first time. if i had to do it again in guanacaste i would probably pick a Large resort like Riu palace directly on a private (because cliff at each end and more remote) beach and a lot more affordable.

The stay here was amazing! It was made incredibly clear over and over again throughout our stay that we had chosen the right place for our family. The beach was less than 50 feet from the property, and it was a BEAUTIFUL beach with gorgeous blue water, and the very best sunsets I have ever seen. The pool was beautiful as well. It was easy to get boogie boards, paddle boards, bikes, and towels whenever you needed them. The drinks at the poolside and all of the restaurants were great. My daughters enjoyed delicious mocktails throughout our stay. My girlfriend and I enjoyed some adult cocktails, beers, and wines. The staff were ALL very attentive, helpful, and always kind and patient.

This resort exceeded our expectations. It was quiet, smaller than other resorts we’ve stayed at, had plenty of activities, walkable to the nearby marina and shops, and the service was amazing. We walked to other restaurants in the area, which were fantastic. The swim-up bar was a huge bonus as we spent so many hours in the pool. The beach was pristine and gorgeous. The most beautiful beach and picturesque sunset I’ve ever seen. The beach vendors were kind and did not bother. Food at the restaurants was good but not great. Traveling with a small child, we weren’t looking for the highest quality food anyway. We utilized the in room childcare - Alejandra was so sweet and kind. The massage and facial we received at the spa were relaxing and just what we needed. Service at the restaurants was good, but it was very slow at 5 o’clock somewhere during lunchtime. The only real complaint I had was the pillows were lumpy and uncomfortable. The bedding in general seemed not to fit the mattress as it kept coming off. Other than that, we had an excellent stay and plan to return again in the summer.

The resort was lovely! Staff couldn’t have been nicer. While technically across the street from the beach it’s really right there and super convenient. It’s a beautiful beach that wasn’t too crowded. We were glad we didn’t do all inclusive because the food was just ok and there were other great places within walking distance. Everything else was spectacular and we were glad we chose it!
