Maria Mai Holidays from AU$957

Hard to overstate how delightful this hotel is. The property is gorgeous. The staff is amazing. And the adjacent village, with great restaurants and shops, is just steps away. It’s a boutique hotel with resort amenities. Very relaxed. Very romantic. If you’re looking for a unique experience, away from the crowds, with personalized service, this is the place.

Beautiful ambiance, friendly staff, clean, comfortable, affordable. Absolutely loved it My only complaint is the parking lot is too far away.

This is a very beautiful hotel. It has a nice view, a pool, private beach. The staff are really respectful and helpful. There’s a little party on Friday for few hours, aside that it’s not a party hotel or resort. Breakfast comes with extra fee. Minibar in room also comes with fee. Overall it’s a highly recommended. It’s also in a good spot. Walkable distance to everything.

Great location, friendly owner, convenient parking, beautiful accommodations

The resort was beautiful & located in a great spot on the island. Villa was clean & equipped with everything we needed. *Kitchen had plates, utensils, cooking supplies & even tupperware. *Dishwasher was helpful to throw everything in at the end of the day & wake up to clean dishes. *Bedrooms are wonderfully air-conditioned and comfortable! *No issues w/ noisy neighbors & plenty of parking. *Description said '1 bathroom,' but the villa had 2 full bathrooms *Fresh towels provided daily, or you could indicate using your towels more than 1 day. *Pools were great! We spent most of our time at the beaches. Papagayo's beach was a little confusing to figure out b/c each beach section is right next to the other. Cabanas are $69/pp according to 1 person. Someone else said they paid $100 for a cabana...? The beach chairs are free and worked fine for us. *Papagayo's section is a little farther from the restaurants which was ok. It was quieter and away from the DJ and crowds by the other restaurants. *Pool towels can be exchanged at the reception or @ the towel hut at the beach. *Grocery store nearby helped with buying essentials and snacks. *We drank the water straight from the sink & had no issues. *No restaurant on the resort property but plenty w/in walking distance by the beach. *Wraparound porch was lovely to relax on each night *Warning, there are def bugs both flying & crawling around the villa. It did not bother us but just a heads up. Everyone was so friendly!!
