Very spacious accommodation in an attractive setting. There were occasional problems with the water supply. Free use of sports equipment, such as a well-stocked gym, table tennis, kayaks and bicycles, deserves to be noted favorably. Pool facilities, a jacuzzi and bar services in addition to a large, uncrowded beach made our stay rather pleasant. The once-a-week outdoor barbecue dinner should also be mentioned. Local staff were very pleasant and friendly, although occasionally a little inattentive.

This is a place to go if you want to get away FROM IT ALL. It is a lovely property and the rooms are very nice; however, it is on a very dusty dirt road—although well maintained—for 30 minutes off the main highway. There is nothing nearby, and no swimming in the ocean anywhere that we could find. It does have a nice black sand beach. The main restaurant served good food, but the service was lacking. The gym was well equipped and the staff was very polite. We took a trip into Tamarindo which was basically an all day affair. Tam is very cute with a nice beach, but it was the complete opposite of Azul—busy and congested. Again, this is the dry side and there’s nothing tropical about this area. As for Azul, come here if you just want to read.

This hotel was much further away from everything than expected. Although not far in distance the road to get to and from to hotel was dirt and not suitable for a compact rental car. When we checked in we asked to reduce our stay to two nights as we wanted to be closer to nearby towns in order to do more sight seeing. While they agreed to reduce our stay when I was charged I was still charged for a full four nights when we only stayed for two nights. When I tried to call to inquire about the additional charges no one would answer the phone. This hotel is not suitable if you want to do anything other than stay at the hotel as nearby towns are not easily accessible due to the low quality of the road in and out. There is also absolutely nothing to do after 9PM other than be in your room.

staff was the best. . I choose this resort mainly because the hotel described the beach sand to be azul but this is a lie, the beach sand is black in the ocean and outside the ocean. while checking- in the staff said that "the sand changes its color with the ocean/sun" but this is not true. I wanted to make this clear for everyone because If you are like me that loves white sand/calm beaches this is not for you. Also, there are not lounge chairs at the beach and no drinks/food service so if you get thirsty you will have to take a long walk to the bar. The pool has a bar but there is no music, or any activities going on.

Playa Azulejo is a beautiful place with its own private beach that is protected from the surf. They provide kayaks and surfboards, as the area is known for water sports. The small restaurant on the location is chic and all of the waitstaff are incredibly friendly and welcome English. The rooms are spacious and each have their own porch with hammocks. Lower level rooms in each house have outdoor showers as well as indoor showers. There is a great view of the stars after the sunset bonfire each night. We had several different opportunities to see wildlife, including geckos, iguanas, a few residing cats, and our favorite- an incredibly curious and friendly raccoon who walked right up to our porch and hung out with us while he smacked on some cheese puffs. The hotel also provides a game room, full gym, pool, jacuzzi and sunset views from each room. Be aware that google maps is not a reliable navigation I Costa Rica, and the drive from any local highway makes Playa Azul a long drive to get to, as it is not off of any main roads. The road to this mini paradise is very bumpy and hilly, and all wheel drive is highly recommended. The earlier you leave in the day the better, as after you exit the freeway there is little lighting on the roads.

Upon checking in I had no issues. However after requesting spa services I had to call the front desk to be told it was in 2 or 3 hours. After waiting 45 minutes for confirm to start my relaxation trip I called the front desk several times no answer and I had to walk to the front. I waited for the new shift mngr to listen to notes left. It was confirmed for 5pm. I went to eat dinner and watched the server each time walk back and forth to the other restaurant to get my drink each taking 10-15 minutes to make. I was one of two guests. At dinner time I thought this was odd. The food was horrible. I got sick that night and stayed ill for 2 days. The server said how was the chiviche? Not good. I’ll take it off your bill. Upon arriving for my spa services 10 minutes early typical of any service I’ve received I was met w an annoyed and rushed therapist still setting up. To which she responded I’m not ready. She then left the hotel room although I requested it be outside, and returned with chocolate and two other items. The whole experience was horrible. An injury I told her about she disregarded and turns off the ac in 80°weather. The chocolate was cold and poured directly onto me as was the scrub. But no real scrub. She skipped parts of my body I couldn’t reach and wasn’t engaging or polite. Once I was able to relax she took the eye patch off abruptly and rushed me out of the room. Giving me a rob to put on that didn’t completely close and was for 40° weather. I refused to pay.

The suits were great - private and you couldn’t hear other guests. Bedrooms nice and dark and beds super comfy. The fold out couch for third guest was also the best quality golf out we have ever slept on in a hotel
