I recently stayed at Margaritaville in Playa Flamingo, Costa Rica, and while it’s rated as a four-star resort, I would personally give it closer to three stars. There were definitely some high points, but also a few areas that need improvement. Pros: • Beautiful Location – Being right on the beach is the biggest highlight of this resort. The views are stunning, and the easy beach access is a major plus. • Clean Rooms – Housekeeping did a great job keeping the rooms spotless and well-maintained. • Excursions – Booking excursions was a seamless process, making it easy to explore beyond the resort. Cons: • Understaffed Spa – The spa was not properly staffed, making it difficult to set up treatments and enjoy a relaxing experience. • Subpar Food – The dining options were underwhelming, lacking variety and quality. • Limited Activities – Aside from the beach and pool, there wasn’t much to do at the resort itself. • Strained Check-in Process – The check-in experience felt a bit disorganized. A more welcoming and informative process would have been appreciated. There was no map of the property provided, nor was there a clear explanation of the resort’s amenities. Overall, the location and cleanliness were strong points, but the resort could use improvements in service, food quality, and organization to truly live up to its four-star rating. If you’re looking for a simple beach stay, it works, but if you want a full resort experience with great dining and activities, you m

I had booked an all inclusive and when I arrived they said only breakfast was included. We paid the extra money for the all inclusive and some meals were not included or their most popular beer (Imperial Light). I felt as if it was falsely advertised as I booked an all inclusive and feel that I paid for it twice. No American beer. The property was average in upkeep and there isn't a lot to do around the resort. Our AC kept going out and this went on for 3 days with 93 degree weather. They put us in another room one night because they didn't have the tool to fix it until the next day. But hey, we made the best of it.

We loved Margaritaville Costa Rica! It is right on the Playa de Flamingo which is a wonderful beach. The staff, the food, the drinks, the location & the sunsets where fabulous. We would only ask that who ever is in charge of the "pool music," please include some Jimmy Buffett songs. We where there for over two weeks and did not hear one Jimmy Buffett song over the stereo. (Fortunately, we brought our own music and small boom box.) We would definitely go back... hopefully soon. Pura Vida y tuanis mae!

Perfect small resort

I am so glad we decided to cxl our stay at the Westin and go with Margaritaville Beach Resort. Outstanding staff and service. Good food and drinks. We did All Inclusive which was a good choice for us. Amazing views from the hotel and beach. You can walk to the Playa Flamingo Marina as well. Love the pool area. Was concerned there could be too many kids in the pool area, but that was not the case during our stay. There are many things to do near the resort. I highly recommend Kayak fishing, although its best to go very early in the morning during the windy season.

Do not expect an all inclusive resort, many food items and all beer except Imperial are an extra cost, 1 restaurant requires a reservation even with many seats open. Drinks are low quality and a little bland. The employees do not seem to follow the rules of the resort on a consistent basis making it somewhat confusing, be prepared to spend money on canopies and chairs at the beach or get up early to save chairs. We had a better time off of the resort. Most employees were good but as in some places some seemed to not want to be there. Would definitely stay somewhere different if we decided to come back.
