Beach Resorts in Jan Thiel

"Staff"

"Papagayo was a clean and beautiful property. But be prepared to spend. There's no all inclusive feature. The pools were clean from what we could see, although this is not an adults only resort and there are kids everywhere so you never know how clean the pools really are. It's not close to many shop but if you venture off into town, it's $30 usd both round trip. There is a burger spot down the hill that I wish I knew about. they pretty much told us nothing was in walking distance and that's so you can spend at their resort. Food was good and so were the drinks. All and all a good trip"

"Nice room. Grounds were beautiful "

"We stayed in a 2-bedroom garden view villa. The grounds are very nice, yet the pool at the resort itself (not the ones at the beach club, which is a totally separate area) looked abandoned and not well-maintained. The villa was generally clean, but there was A LOT of wear and tear. There is nothing the resort's cleaning staff can do with the state of the villa; it needs a renovation. This is not a 4-star property for sure (though I am quite confident it was 5-7 years ago); now it gives a 2-3-star feel. Everything that can be scratched is scratched; everything will benefit from an extra coat of paint or two; windows and doors are either not working or working funny. As other reviewers mentioned, the AC works in bedrooms but not in bathrooms or the living area. This was an architectural decision that has pros and cons - you just need to be aware."

"Not easy assesible for elderly or with injury or leg problems. To dark at night Pools were great but a lot of walking"

"Excellent choice and area"
