Facing the beachfront, Nekajui Peninsula Papagayo, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve offers 5-star accommodation in Papagayo, Guanacaste and has a garden, terrace and restaurant. Boasting a bar, the hotel is close to several noted attractions, around a few steps from Playa Pochote and around a few steps from Marina Papagayo. The hotel offers an outdoor swimming pool, spa centre and room service.

Speaking English and Spanish, staff at the 24-hour front desk can help you plan your stay. My stay was absolutely stunning, with spectacular views of the ocean and sunsets. I especially loved the small island across from us, which I named Crocodile Island because it’s shaped just like a crocodile. The landscape, the rooms, the restaurants, and the staff-everything was top-notch. Special shout out to Wilson, thank you for all your assistance. Every moment of my stay was memorable. I highly recommend visiting during the off-season when it’s quieter, less crowded, and more peaceful. The highlight for me was experiencing their incredible rain showers during a thunderstorm—it felt magical, almost like a Divine Sky Symphony with lightning and thunder. Truly an unforgettable experience!
