"The resort is extremely outdated "

"**Hôtel Margaritaville – Avis** Hôtel **très propre**, autant pour les chambres que pour les aires communes. L’ambiance est **très calme et relaxante** : dès **22 h**, tout est tranquille. Aucun party ni discothèque, parfait pour se reposer. L’animation est minimale, avec des activités douces comme le bingo et l’aquaforme. La **plage est située juste en face de l’hôtel**. C’est une superbe plage publique de **sable blanc**, sans algues ni roches, idéale pour marcher (jusqu’à **2 km**). La nourriture est bonne et le **buffet déjeuner est très apprécié**. Plusieurs restaurants se trouvent aussi à proximité. L’hôtel est à environ **30 minutes en taxi de Tamarindo**. **Points négatifs** : * Il n’y a pas de palapas sur la plage. * Il faut demander des chaises au gardien de sécurité ; elles sont peu confortables. * Les **vélos et petites planches pour la mer sont payants**. * La mer est **très agitée**, avec des vagues fortes, ce qui peut être moins agréable pour la baignade."

"Pools clean and grounds very well maintained, we had a beautiful room, just smelled moldy so we had to air it.very environmentally cautious and responsibly, no disposable anything, everything energy efficient and conserving resources, everything reusable, clean, we really liked that! Food was very good, enough variety. Staff very nice and always cleaning, working, refilling, picking up, asking what you need but in a discteet way. Not even 1 bad experience with staff interaction. I will definitely come back with family."

"From the moment we arrived at the hotel, the staff were super unfriendly & not helpful. They did not make eye contact. We asked several staff members where we could find towels & they could only point towards the massive pool. The beach is completely full of people selling things like nothing I’ve ever seen & the vendors are very aggressive in soliciting you. The pool is extremely uninviting with cups and trash left around the pool and the bathroom unusable because it was so dirty. This hotel does not meet normal Westin standards. Thankfully we were able to move to the W next door where everything was wonderful, clean & the staff were amazing and friendly. Rosa made the moving process extremely difficult since she was trying to charge us twice after we were told we would get a full refund for the Westin. Luckily, it was straightened out by the helpful staff at the W. During our stay at the W, we ran into guests of the Westin who were buying day passes at the W for all of the same reasons as noted above - right down to the towels,"

"Everyone and everything was excellent! "

"Was amazing from the arrival to check out. Friendly, helpful, and was very peaceful. Lots of little shops and food close by. Great place to stay before going to the airport. "
