Andaz Papagayo, Almost Perfect: But Beats 4 Seasons

The Andaz Costa Rica Resort Papagayo is a luxe resort on Costa Rica’s Papagayo Peninsula, and part of our best resorts in Costa Rica series. In this video I’ll give you a full tour, show you what I loved and what may be a deal breaker for you. The resort’s in Guanacaste Province, offering a blend of modern design and nice views of the water. This 151-room resort, part of the Hyatt group.

The resort's rooms and suites are divided into four categories: forest view, partial bay view, bay view, and Andaz large suites, each with a private balcony or terrace. The resort has three pools, including an adult-s only pool, all surrounded by cabanas and sun loungers.

The Andaz Costa Rica also has a full-service spa, offering a range of treatments inspired by local traditions and ingredients, as well as a 24-hour fitness center and a lot of daily activities such as yoga, snorkeling, and birdwatching.

There are four unique restaurants here: Chao Pescao, the resort's signature restaurant, with tapas-style dining and often live music, Rio Bhongo is a casual all-day restaurant that serves international cuisine and is most busy in the morning as the only breakfast venue, Ostra is the resort’s fine-dining venue and overlooks the bay, and there’s a restaurant at the hotel’s main beach that’s a boat ride away. The resort is just a 35-minute drive from Daniel Oduber Quirós International Airport in Liberia and a 4-hour drive from Juan Santamaría International Airport in San José.

Why should you trust us?

Our goal is to save you time by finding the best hotels and experiences for you, and eliminate the stress of paying for something before you understand if it’s right for you. We work with total editorial independence. That means nothing appears in our videos as a recommendation unless we’ve tried it and loved it. These are the hotels and activities we choose for ourselves and recommend to our family and friends.

We strive to be the most trusted, the most transparent, boutique hotel recommendation service…. ever. If you choose to use our link to book a hotel, you are supporting our work. You can go around us – it won’t save you any money. This hotel commission fee supports us as we travel the world looking for the best places. Running a business costs money, and this is how we cover most of our expenses.

We curate unusual, independent, and sustainable boutique hotel experiences. We’re a small team of 3.5 people – for now. Our founder Don is an American who’s lived about half his life overseas and has traveled to over 60 countries – always looking for that perfect hotel, and often being disappointed. Before starting Swank, Don worked as an entrepreneur in the clean energy space, and then sustainable housing – one of the reasons sustainability is in our DNA.
