I recently returned from a stay at Sandos Papagayo, and I have to say I'm feeling mixed about the experience. While the location by the beach was perfect and the staff were quite accommodating, our room was unfortunately not up to par, with cleanliness issues that dampened our stay. The dining options, especially the buffet, had some highlights, but overall, I would suggest there are improvements needed in various areas to match the expected standards.
