Jun 30, 2025Best vacation ever
We absolutely LOVE this resort! This was my third visit to Margaritaville, and it met all of my previous expectations and more. This time, I visited with a group of girlfriends and our families. The resort is so family friendly- something I hadn't noticed on my previous trips because I hadn't had my children yet! There is the best little kiddie pool attached to the main pool (perfect for swimming to the pool-side bar for a virgin piña colada for the kids- so good!) and a cute playground adjacent with a swing. Priscilla, the youth activities director was the BEST! She essentially took over childcare for a couple hours a day with her arts and crafts, treasure hunts, and sandcastle building. She would even put together impromptu activities for our group, and the kids adored her! If you have kids, don't miss movie nights in the theater (!!), popcorn and games in the game room! Seriously the kids had the time of their lives! The adults too! All inclusive had me so spoiled. The food at all the restaurants and pool side are delicious and have something for everyone. We were there for a week and I didn't get sick of the food one bit. I really wish I could have a Flamingo Burger right now!! Don't miss the ice cream. I had actually never noticed the little Italian restaurant hidden upstairs- make sure anager, housekeeping, pool you make a reservation, it's so quaint and cute. The drinks were delicious (I'm not a huge drinker) but it was so fun to try different drinks and the bartenders are all experts and can make you pretty much anything. I loved the coffee every morning too! The staff was all incredibly kind and accommodating- everyone from the front desk, resort mstaff, and all the restaurant employees. The fruit is so fresh- best papayas I've ever had. Also, the beach at the resort is so beautiful- there are tide pools, and the beach is very long with plenty of space to walk and take in the beauty. The water is always the perfect temperature for swimming, and the sunsets are spectacular. I miss it already and I can't wait to come back.

Costa Rica - what a surprise, we will be back!
POV- We are two parents in our early 50s with two adult children in their early 20s. We've stayed at different all-inclusive resorts and then without that feature. Costa Rica was not even on our list to visit, but as it appeared, everything became more appealing. Costa Rica has been, by far, the safest country that we have visited. The resort was just what we all needed to refresh. We appreciated the smaller resort (120 rooms), and it was at 50% capacity when we were there in early June. The all-inclusive feature was different in that you ordered what you wanted, and it was cooked fresh. We all appreciated this and loved the lack of food waste of what you see at other resorts. We also liked that the tips were included in the price, and we didn't have to carry cash around. Our maids cleaned the room fantastically, always supplying fresh towels. We stayed in the room with a King and 2 bunk beds - perfect even for our adult kids to have their own space. The pool was big enough not to be crowded. The beach was lovely. The sunsets were beautiful. One gal walked around the pool area handing out watermelon in the morning - nice touch. Coffee was brought around in the afternoon, but way too hot to consume coffee at that time for these foreigners! All staff were friendly. Rodolpho (sp?), waiter at the restaurant, was especially helpful, pointing out how things worked when we first arrived. The breakfast buffet with omelet station was great! We all enjoyed the fresh fruit. Bring passion fruit to America! We lacked for nothing while there. Try the Green Monster - my favorite new drink with passion fruit, lime, and mint. The gym was enough to get a workout done, but it could use some refreshing. The pizza restaurant required reservations, but it was no problem to get. That was our favorite place to eat, but all the food was good. Family resort, not a party resort, which is what we were looking for. Enjoyed seeing all ages, including a college soccer team staying there for a few days. Bew sure to see Minor on the beach for an all day tour. Thank you so much for a great trip!

We had a blast
We just returned from a week stay and had such a good time at Margaritaville! The location is beautiful right on the beach which is soft sand and warm water (and tide pools a few mins down the way). Forgot something in your room? It takes 30 seconds to go grab it and head back to the beach. The pool is great, there is a fun swim up bar and volleyball net. There is an amazing kid pool that is completely shaded adjacent to the big pool. The staff is so friendly and we got to know each of them. By far the friendliest staff at any hotel we've stayed at. Margaritaville is very family friendly and accommodating with the baby pool, ample high chairs, game room, movie theater, beach/sand castles, craft hour by the pool for the kiddos, there was always something for them to do. They were able to provide us with a pack n play for our 1 year old too which made traveling easier. They more than tolerated our group of 12 adults and 11 kids and never made us feel unwelcome or bothersome. The food was delicious as well, and the buffet made it easy for the kids too. Can't wait to come back!

Great beach side resort
My wife and I just checked out of a ten day stay at Margaritaville and we had a blast. The staff was attentive and always looking to help. I thought the food was great, also. We never even felt the urge to go off the resort to eat. My favorite was the Lomito steak, the steak sandwich, and the chicken club sandwich. The chicken tenders were awesome too and a great poolside snack. The ocean here is gorgeous. Absolute picturesque views of jungle and some of the warmest ocean water on the planet. This is my second trip to the resort and I plan on coming back again.

The Best Resort in Costa Rica!
Truly one of the best vacations I’ve had! This resort is incredible! It is on one of the most beautiful beaches I have ever seen. The rooms are very spacious and comfortable! The staff is super friendly. The food is excellent and has a great variety. I came with my husband and some of our friends and children and it was the perfect getaway for everyone at every age! I highly recommend and will definitely return! Thank you Margaritaville Playa Flamingo!
