“We absolutely loved our stay at the Andaz resort and will be returning! This is a very detailed review to help others considering staying there: Grounds/Staff: We booked our 3 night stay entirely with World of Hyatt Points so our room was free! We originally booked a standard room, but we were delighted to be upgraded to a Suite due to my "Explorist" status. I thought free suite upgrades were only for "Globalist" status so this was a wonderful surprise. The suite was beautiful with an ocean view,living room, 2 bathrooms, and rollaway beds in addition to the King bed. We loved the rain shower and the separate walk-in closet to stash all our luggage. It was also so fun to be given free snacks, drinks, fedora hats & flipflops. Service was amazing with the room being cleaned daily and snacks and towels restocked.The entire Andaz staff was incredible. Everyone was genuinely kind and friendly and made us feel so welcomed. The main pool and adults only pool were both beautiful. We also hung around the beach a bit but did not try any of the activities down there. The jetskis were a little annoying-I wish they didn’t have those! The one thing we missed out on was checking out the Andaz Beach house. Activities: We booked 2 activities through the resort. One was Mountain Biking with the Papagayo Explorers. Our guide Marlon was amazing! We had so much fun zipping around the trails on high-quality mountain bikes and he carried cold waters for us, took pictures, and was quick to check in and make sure we were staying hydrated in the heat. At the end he had delicious fresh coconuts for us to drink. A hydrating treat! Would definitely bike again there. We were out there for 2 hours and only covered about 10% of the trails. Our other activity was also booked through the resort but in connection with, Mardigi Tours. We booked the Hacienda/ Guachipelin Extreme tour. This consisted of being picked up by a private driver at 7AM, driving 1 hour to the Ricon De La Vieja area and going horseback riding to a water fall, tubing down the Colorado river, zip lining over a river, and then spending time in the hot springs. A fun day with the wild tube ride being the best part!There was also a good lunch included. Our driver was great. He drove us to a spot to point out some crocodiles in the wild as well which was cool. We felt very safe with and cared for and it was nice to have the private ride in these COVID times. Restaurants: There are 3 restaurants on the property and we ate at each of them. They are all very expensive with service fees added on too. Rio Bhongo is the main restaurant which also is the only option for breakfast. We were not super impressed with the dinner-the tuna steak was a bit salty and the shrimp tacos were just okay.The alcoholic drinks and mocktails were fabulous. We did enjoy the daily breakfast with fresh fruit and pastries and I tried a delicious burrito with plantains which I loved. Ostra Restaurant is the fanciest restaurant and is primarily seafood. The ceviche was incredible as were the cocktails. The sushi was just okay for us. The yellow curry with veggies was not good and I would not recommend-very salty and bland. Wish we had tried some of the other main seafood entrees as I think they are more known for those. Chao Pescao was the tapas restaurant and was our favorite dinner of the 3. Beautiful patioand the most fun vibe. We asked them to make us mystery blended mocktails which they did and they were out of this world! The Manager was very friendly and fun. All the small plates were good with the shrimp being our favorite. Overall I found the restaurants good, not great, but I am also a bit of a foodie. Wish the prices were a little more reasonable. All the cocktails and mocktails were amazing. COVID Testing: Andaz does offer testing but it is expensive, so we packed BinaxNOW Ag card home tests and did them within our hotel room. We got results in 15 minutes. Great option for testing.”
