Dive Bar - Happy Hour
 

Can anyone who has recently stayed at the Andaz and gone to the Dive Bar at the Marina for dinner or drinks confirm that they still have a happy hour?? Half off drinks and Half off one dinner menu per day?? We are going in a month, and I hope they still do, but I think I saw somewhere (maybe Travelocity) that they no longer do?? I really hope they do!!

Thanks,
Mike

Still do as of beginning of December.

Here on our third stay and love this property as much now as we did three years ago. One interesting thing to note is that an Andaz Residences Sales Office is now open adjacent to the lobby. After speaking with Adam, they are beginning pre-sales for Andaz Branded Residences with construction set to begin this spring. There will be five buildings with five to eight units per building (up the hill from the resort) which will all be two and three bedroom. The owners will have the option of Andaz managing their units when they're not here. The residences, and guests renting the reside4nces, will have full access to the resort and amenities.

Was looking at reservations and the hotel has a pop up message noting from 12/21 until 1/1 Reservations have a minimum stay requirement (guessing a week).

But on two other notes -

This Property is going up in its category will be a Cat 6 as of 3/22 so if you think you may want to stay here book soon.

Next -

What are the chances we get upgraded beyond the base Suite? We booked months ago with a TSU and confirmed it with the hotel, Globalist Concierge noted with them it is a Honeymoon stay (in case there are any additional things they do, most nicer properties do). Assuming one is available on our dates would they likely upgrade us?

I’ve read here people have been upgraded beyond the Standard Suite without using a TSU (of course it depends on the dates and how full they are). So we were just wondering if we should get our hopes up.

What room were you in with two kids or did you need a second, adjoining room? Thanks!

we were in room 122 which had two Queens beds. lovely resort, enjoy your stay and take advantage of ALL of the activities they offer.

Thanks!

Does anyone know for Andaz Papagayo on the Member Advance Purchase rates if they charge the card right away? I’ve read some Latin American properties offer those rates to lock people in to specific dates but won’t actually charge the card until check in. Just wondering if Andaz Papagayo is one of them.

Looking for a stay for November :)

Anyone know (I'm sure someone does!) if the rooms (suites in particular) are reachable via an exterior corridor? They look almost like bungalows - just wondering if you can move to/from rooms without going thru a hallway, taking an elevator etc. The new ugly reality, I guess. ugh. Thanks!

Yes, at least our room was such that all rooms exited to a hallway that was open air. And then one flight down also open air to the walkway to get to/from all other points on the resort. There are really very few places in the resort that are fully enclosed. The kids club is but has open air areas as well.

Any recent stays? Is the breakfast still buffet style? Thanks!

They haven't been open, re-opening Nov 14.

Has anyone stayed in the Andes Large Suite? I’ve a stay booked next summer and interested on thoughts.

Would love to hear from any members who are out there for the re-opening. Most curious about how they are actually handling things like: Breakfast, Kids club, other meals, activities, peninsula bikes, etc.

Keep safe out there!

I Stayed in that suite when I was there three years ago. Request the suite on the second floor so you have bay view vs. the ground floor which is below the tree canopy. Monkeys go by in the morning And are fun to watch.
We were in the building right next to the main swimming pool and the main restaurant where breakfast is served which was very convenient. We never once went to the swimming pool because having our own plunge pool overlooking the bay was all we ever needed
