Nuevo Colon accommodation from NZ$234

We stayed 4 nights at CC Beachfront Papagayo. We can’t say enough about this resort. We stayed in unit 303 across from one of the pools. The room is older, had wooden doors and cabinetry and tile floors. I believe this area was the original resort which was very nostalgic and we loved it. As an all inclusive there was no wanting since you have as much food and drink as you need. We basically had private servers. Thanks to Young Carlos and Reny for taking very good care of us! The dining experience was phenomenal! Buffet style was the style, but you have a variety of food to suit everyone’s tastes. We had traditional fare as well as sushi night and Italian night. You can reserve seating at Santa Rosa’s for a more private experience and a specialty menu. Also, you can order pizza and burgers for a snack outside of dining hours. There are three bars. The main bar at the restaurant and two swim up pool bars. The list of tropical drinks is amazing so try them all. As an older couple, there were many amenities that we didn’t use. The resort is kid and family friendly with a lot of things for the younger crowd. There is volleyball, kayaks, yard games, a movie and arcade room, a fire pit, gym and a really unique trampoline and climbing area. The kid friendly atmosphere was nice! We watched and enjoyed the families that we met. We only have one issue that could be better. Staying in room 303, we had guests in rooms on either side of us. We could hear their conversations.

Loved how close was to the beach and the marina/shops.

The place had everything you would need. Food, Drinks, beach access, and (even though I did not use their services because I didnt know they had them) they have excursions on site. The only two gripes I have is they offer a luxury upgrade for premium liquor and free room service, but only one location has the premium liquor and its at the very top of the resort. This leads to my second gripe which is the amount of walking needed to enjoy the resort. They do have shuttles, but they get full quickly and show up rarely or you call for one and it comes slowly. Still enjoyed the stay and would recommend it.
