Papagayo Golden Palms Beachfront Hotel

The Golden Palms resort in Papagoya is heavily. The staff are outstanding and kind. The pool is so clean and big. It’s so big it never feels crowded. The rooms were clean and had a mini fridge, which was great. We appreciated the complimentary breakfast but it would be nice if the menu varied from day to day. I highly recommend The Golden Palms resort. We’ve been there twice and will return again.

We loved our stay at Papa***o Golden Palms Beachfront Hotel. The staff was very friendly and went above our expectations to insure a fabulous time! We will definitely be back!

Very clean. Has its own beach connected to Playa Panama. Very quiet, older property with huge trees.Food is OK. Nice place to stay for solitude & for single women wishing to be unbothered. Off the beaten path, food is OK, menu is limited here, but can take an Uber to Playa Hermosa for great food.

This hotel feels a bit dated but it's clean, comfortable, and nicely situated on the water. You won't see the beach from your rooms but it's right on the other side of the pool. The beach is very easy to access and the hotel provides some lounge chairs and hammocks on a grassy area adjacent to the beach. The waterfront is rocky in one direction and sandy in the other direction. It is not private to the hotel but it wasn't at all crowded when we were there during peak season. Breakfast is included and quite good for a free breakfast (eggs, meat, pancakes, Costa Rica dishes, cereals...). Dinner on the other hand was not worth it. Everything had potential but everything was a miss. Overcooked fish, overcooked steak that was missing chimichurri, dry sauceless ravioli, poorly done soup. Out of 10 dinners we had while in Costa Rica this was the only one that I wished I had gone elsewhere for (elsewhere = Ginger in this case. Wonderful restaurant). But the hotel is nice if you can get a decent deal on rooms. Access to the beach and clean comfortable air-conditioned rooms are the highlights.

Relaxing, quiet accommodation. Very helpful and friendly staff that goes the extra mile. The room were cleaned daily with the cutest towl art. Loved the patio outside the room which is closed off by beautiful plants. Great food and cocktails!

We spent 6 nights at this hotel and it was a lovely stay. The room was large and very clean. The hotel grounds were well maintained and surrounded by nature. The pool.was great and there was a very nice hammock and fire pit area for relaxing. There were not many guests during our stay so it felt like we had the place to ourselves. Lastly, the staff were wonderful, especially Andrea in the restaurant who was just a lovely lady who took great care of us.

The staff at this property were some of the nicest, most friendly and most attentive that I've every experienced in my travels. Lovely, tranquil and scenic setting. I hope to return real soon! Pura vida!

Beautiful property, very clean but not busy at all-felt like a ghost town. Beach in this area is not very nice. Food is ok. Patio door to the room didn’t lock.

Quiet and beautiful. Friendly staff, nice artwork, clean, and live the beach front chairs. They made breakfast boxes for us before heading to airport for early flight. Definitely recommend!
