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.

When we arrived, the manager was called to tell us that unfortunately the hotel had been overbooked and our room had been given away. Needless to say, we were NOT HAPPY - especially because we had booked many months previous. Maik, the manager apologized profusely and told us that he had secured an oceanfront condo just a few hundred meters away for us.
We were still dubious and quite upset, but allowed him to show us the condo. It was truly oceanfront and absolutely first-class. Maik assured...

Wonderful all inclusive resort with friendly and attentive staff who genuinely wanted us to have a great experience! Food superior to other all-inclusives we have visited, and dining options included for gluten and dairy free. Great housekeeping, excellent and timely bar service at the pool, had to get room service one night while managing a canceled flight and food was great then too. Very service oriented and nearly all staff wore masks appropriately and were seen to be cleaning common areas....

If you want to really get away from it all and just kick back, this is the place. After driving down dirty, rocky roads, through crazy Tamarindo, you arrive at Cala Luna - paradise. No Spring Break scene here at all - it is serene and civilized. The rooms are private with lush tropical plants surrounding you.

The best hotel I have ever stayed at. The animal life AT the hotel itself is fantastic. I have never seen so many hummingbirds and butterflies. Troops of monkeys, both Howlers and Capuchins come through the property daily; right to the edge of the two pools, and for viewing from the private decks of each jungle facing room.

Hotel was awesome, staff is great. If I had a complaint I’d have to say the cost of the food. 1st night of arrival got a hamburger, a salad, and the wife and I each got one drink. The bill was $75. From that point on we went and ate at Tamarindo. Our 1st day in Tamarindo breakfast, lunch, and dinner was $80 total!
