Casa Papagayo is absolutely spectacular and beautiful! It would be hard to imagine a better place to spend Christmas (or any other time) with family. There were 7 people in our group, so we used all 4 bedrooms and all the amenities. The staff at RPM was very helpful with setting up our activities and making good recommendations for dining, shopping, etc. When we had some minor issues, all we had to do was make the staff aware, and it was taken care of right away.
Overall, it was a fantastic experience and I would definitely return to Tamarindo, stay at Casa Papagayo, and would recommend it and RPM services to anyone. There are a few minor maintenance items that should be addressed. It would be nice if these types of things were checked before a group arrives, but I realize that is hard to do. None of these were a "big deal”, but it makes the difference between an excellent stay and a very, very, good one.
