Just back from an 11 night stay at this hotel. If you want to relax in the sunshine then it's great. We did have a great time but I wouldn't return. The staff are stretched to breaking point and as a result are often dismissive and surley. The food choice is extensive but... more

An amazing hotel, peaceful relaxing and enjoyable. I have recommended it to many people. The staff are friendly and generally speak very good english, the food was also excellent. The south tour of the volcanoes is very worth while doing, its about 25 euros in the nearest... more

Lovely Relaxing Holiday
We were so loking forward to our holiday being retailers and having had a very hectic year. We wanted to relax with our 5 year old and we weren't disapointed. The worst part was coming home. The Hotel was ideal for us. Huge bedrooms - bigger than your average holiday appartment with equally huge bathroom. The location was lovely and quiet on the edge or a dramatic beach and 5 mins walk "cliff top climb" to a gorgeos beach - well wort the effort - Papagayo. WE were pleased to be away fro the more commercial centre. But ifyou do fancy a change... more
Best Holiday Ever, Wish we"d gone for longer.
I cannot praise this hotel too highly,it was exceptional. From the moment we were checked in by a very efficient and friendly receptionist to the moment we left we found all the staff to be friendly and helpfull in all departments. The bars were well stocked and we encountered no tardiness or surlishness from the bar staff, on the contrary we only experienced fast and friendly service with drinks in generous measures. The entertainment staff were very hard working and did just that, entertained,they were superb with the children and... more
No way is this a five star.
The one good thing about the hotel was the size of the room along with good sized beds and air conditioning However,the balcony left much to be desired. It was very small. The water pressure of the shower fluctuated and the temperature alternated between cold and scalding hot. It was so bad that you could not stand under the shower but had to stand aside and just try to stand under for the few seconds when it was a reasonable temperature. I am disabled and we were put on the 7th floor and have great difficulty with stairs. On our first full... more
fabulous hotel and great value for money
I spent a week at this hotel with my mum in the NY - we were looking for some r&r and winter sun and this is exactly what we got here. It is the first time I've done an all inclusive - I usually travel independently - and I found the holiday incredible value for money for what you got. A clean and beautifully designed hotel that is symathetic to the landscape. Our room was huge and well fitted and the meals were fresh and a wide variety was offered - true it's not haute cuisine but the price was so reasonable we could easily have chosen to... more
Not 5 stars!
Had booked the Dream Castillo Papagayo for a week in the sun at New Year and when we were dropped of at the hotel it all seemed really lovely initially. However the hotel is very small and the restaurant is also very small and the choice limited. This hotel is part of a complex in which there are 2 hotels - the Dream Castillo and the Dream Castillo Papagayo. Do not confuse the 2!! We ended up staying only 1 night/2 days in this hotel and then asked to be transfered over (at a cost of 15E pppn) to the Dream Castillo. The Papagayo... more
This is a proper review of this hotel
I have just stayed here for 3 nights with my girlfriend and we were very happy with what we got. The rooms are very clean and large and for an all inclusive the food in the restaurant was good. Fresh meat and fish cooked to order on the grill at both lunch and dinner and also a large salad bar and other pre cooked meals on the hot plate. There is a good selection of drinks including San Miguel on tap for the lager drinkers and there is also wine and cava available by the bottle at your table if you want it. If I was to say anything... more
BEWARE
We booked this only two weeks before departure. 18th November. when we arrived we were dropped at the Gran Castillo by the tour operator courtesy bus, only to be told we were in the "other castillo" it was no good complaining but there is a massive difference in the two hotel, so be very aware og what hotel you are booking into. No way five star. very isolated and nothing to do if weather is poor. entertainment in the evening absolute rubbish. pool bar like a local sports club bar, very poor. you cannot dine until 8pm so as the sun... more
Small, restrictive and terrible value for money
We have just checked into this hotel and we are bitterly disappointed. The Papagayo hotel is really small (restricted buffet and an awful daytime bar). You have no all-inclusive rights in the lovely gran castillo hotel next door. Do not get the two confused if you are booking. The rooms are great but the restaurant has a very small selection compared with other all-inclusives that we have been to. It is really busy too. You take all 3 meals in this one small restaurant -there are no alternatives or speciality restaurants. The choice is very... more
Fabulous
This Hotel was a great find - I felt I had struck gold. Stayed here with a friend for a week end of October/beginning of November. The all inclusive was amongst the best I have experienced. A fabulous Hotel worthy of its 5 stars and enhanced by friendly and professional staff (somewhat a rarity in spain these days) Taxi from airport aprox 40-45 Euros. The rooms are large, very comfortable and serene. The bed was so comfortable I wanted to bring it home!! The Bathroom was delight with separate loo and bidet and separate jet... more
Well worth going!!!!!!!!
We stayed over Christmas-arriving 18th Dec around 9.30pm. The hotel first impression is small(compared to the Castillo) but we were given champagne and our cases taken to our rooms by a wonderfully dressed bellboy, while we went into dinner. The wing on the hotel is all self contained and all inclusive and the receptionist carefully and patiently explained everything to us and wrote more details on the map she gave us. We went into dinner(there is one dining room and one snack bar-when the dining room closes the snack bar opens)... more
