Hotel The Mirador Papagayo

The first impression and our subsequent observations were that it was spotlessly clean in all areas and that there were hand sanitizing facilities throughout the hotel. No complaints in any of the accommodation and relaxing areas. Very good all round

Although the restaurant was adequate it failed in a few areas, The breakfast in general was pretty good with good choices but was let down in a few cases by watered down orange juices on certain days. The evening meals fell below standard in certain areas, the soups were poor and watery except for a couple of nights with 1 or 2 better offerings and the choice of main courses only met 4 star standards on 3 out of 10 nights. Poor and tasteless cheap meat cuts poorly cooked did not give us any enthusiasm for an enjoyable dinner but the desserts choices were fine, The lounge bar music was diabolical with a live pianist on Sunday night who was awful and the other nights we suffered over loud awful piano music from 50's Disney shows. We suggest that you look at a much better type of background music to maintain 4 star standard. It really lets you lovely hotel down and we may only consider a bed/breakfast booking in future unless there is much improvement in these areas. The catering manager needs to up his budget on the meat quality
