Andaz Costa Rica Resort at Peninsula Papagayo
Costa Rica
Andaz Costa Rica Resort at Peninsula Papagayo is a hotel in Peninsula Papagayo, Guanacaste, on Costa Rica’s north Pacific coast. Hyatt presents it as an eco resort set within the private 1,400-acre peninsula, with hillside views over Culebra Bay and a tropical forest setting that shapes the guest experience. The position places the property within a managed coastal landscape rather than an urban setting, and its design aims to reflect the surrounding terrain and climate. Accommodation comprises 131 spacious rooms, 21 suites and villa rentals. Hyatt says some suites and villas include private plunge pools, while many room types feature floor-to-ceiling windows, folding glass doors and outdoor terraces or balconies. Interiors use a modern look with local materials, and the rooms include complimentary non-alcoholic minibar items and snacks. The overall layout is intended to feel open to the environment, with a lighter, more residential style than a conventional beach hotel. The resort’s dining includes Rio Bhongo, Ostra and Chao Pescao, giving guests a choice of settings across the property. On site, Hyatt also lists a spa, fitness centre, pool, meeting facilities, business services, concierge, laundry, valet and self-parking, plus pet-friendly stays and digital check-in and digital key services. These facilities make the hotel suitable for both leisure breaks and straightforward practical stays, without losing the relaxed resort atmosphere. Its character is shaped by the peninsula setting, with access to beaches, golf and nature-led activities as part of the wider stay. The hotel is presented as a base for moving between coast and forest, and the combination of locally rooted design, outdoor spaces and varied leisure facilities gives it a polished but informal feel. The landscape remains central to the experience, rather than serving only as a backdrop to the accommodation.
