Virgin Holidays View
An ecological paradise with all the comforts of a world-class Hilton hotel, the Papagayo is now all-inclusive so guests can enjoy a large range of amenities and activities at no extra cost! Accommodation is very comfortable indeed, divided between exquisite bungalows and luxurious guestrooms, all with ocean or tropical garden views. There’s also a lovely infinity pool on 3 tiers, one for adults only, one for the kids and one for aquatic fun and games. Down at the beach, there’s a huge range of sports to tempt you, including kayaking and snorkelling. Pay a little extra and you can jet ski to your heart’s content or join a fishing expedition. Other activities to keep you busy during the day include dance lessons and aerobics. Alternatively, whilst the kids are playing with new-found friends at the mini club, you can relax at the swim-up bar whilst soaking up the sun. The Spa Vida is another temptation, offering plenty of treatments to chase away any lingering cares. With 4 restaurants and bars, there’s something to suit everyone. El Dorado serves Costa Rican dishes with a Mediterranean twist whilst La Cosecha prides itself on its fresh and varied buffet. Grill del Fuego is great for a casual lunch whilst at night El Ritual Bar is the place to be.
