We just returned from 3 nights at Andaz Papagayo... it was AMAZING!!

We rented a car in SJO and drove... while it was a LONG 5 hour drive... it did allow us to see some of the country.

I used P+C and a diamond upgrade... got a lovely suite (which is huge)... but, it wasn't a "large" suite... not sure that would get us anything other than the plunge pool on our terrace.

The 2 pool areas are fantastic. We spent most time at the adult pool, to avoid the children (yes, many people brought kids, despite the property not having much else to do).

We went to the beach club one day for a bit... it was a much nicer beach than the Andaz... but, frankly, we prefer pools anyway. So, we were happy staying at Andaz and relaxing at the pool.

The staff was very friendly and always greeted us.

We were celebrating a special event... and the concierge arranged a lovely, romantic dinner on our balcony. They went above and beyond what I was expecting!

Back to reality now... but, this is one of the top vacations I have had!!
