Hotel Mirador Papagayo by LIVVO

The views from this hotel if you have a sea view room are stunning and the rooms are fine. Hotel is clean and has a lovely pool area. Sadly this is where the positives end because the hot food on offer at lunch and evening meal is deplorable. I read a previous review where a reviewer noted that the food was like canteen food. This comment is actually a disservice to canteen food as I managed many a canteen in my working life and would never have allowed hot food of this hotel quality to be served to my customers. From sloppy scrambled eggs at breakfast to dry pasta , burned vegetables one day and near enough raw the next with meat grilled to order which was burnt on one side and raw on the other. Risotto made with long grain rice that was tasteless and dry.. This is not a hotel I would ever go All inclusive or half board again. I will say that the cold food offer was fine but then that’s not difficult.

Check-in was rather slow but we were given a glass of fizz. Our room was very nice, bathroom needed some updating but we had an excellent shower. The pool area is great, plenty of beds and most areas had sun all day. The pool was slightly heated but not enough. We were all inclusive and breakfast was great but lunch and dinner were poor. Meat was poor quality, fatty or tough, apart from the roast chicken we had one evening which was very nice. We used the spa one day as the weather was poor. The spa was great. I had a massage which was excellent, although I wasn't asked to provide any medical details which I usually am. I had a pedicure, which was advertised as 55 Euros. When I went to pay I was charged 65 Euros as I had gell Polish on my nails which they removed. They only had regular Polish when my toes were repainted. The pedicure wasn't great, nail varnish was a little messy. I went to my salon at home today and they were appalled at my nails. They had not removed all the gell Polish underneath the regular Polish but had actually made a hole in one of my toenails where the gell had been filed off. I would not have a manicure or pedicure there again. Entertainment was ok but was literally for about an hour. Once the show was over the lights came on and everyone had to leave. I think it would have been nice if there had been some music so that we could have danced or had a drink after the show. There were beautiful views, nice walks to the marina but would I go again? No! It was a restful week but not a 4 star hotel.

Lovely hotel with friendly staff. Pool area is great with plenty of sun loungers any time of the day. Rooms are very comfortable and clean. Breakfast is really nice with plenty of choice for everyone. We stayed half board. Evening meals are ok if you can’t be bothered going out or like canteen type food. We prefer to eat out so only had it for a back up. Walk into Marina Rubicon is 15 mins then another 15 into Playa Blanca itself. Lovely walks along the promenade. Hyperdino across the road plus a nice Indian restaurant. Papagayo shopping centre is a 5 minute walk away with same nice bars and eateries. We had a lovely holiday and would stay again.

Me and my grandma stayed at the mirador papagayo hotel for 2 weeks and it was amazing. The staff where lovely and helpful, the entertainment was great and the facilities are lovely.Perfect spot for a quiet getaway.The food was good with many options for everyone but sometimes a bit cold (maybe due to the weather) . All staff spoke a range of languages which made visiting very easy. The only one complaint would be the WiFi.. It's not great but works in most places.

This hotel is now my number one favourite canaries hotel. The sea view rooms are just spectacular. The room decor is bright, modern & unfussy. Cleanliness is impeccable. The location of the hotel is perfect, quiet, serene & just lovely. It’s an absolute pleasure. One very minor criticism is, it is near impossible to order wine or beer with one’s dinner because that would involve getting the attention of a waiter, who are constantly busy. This one thing would’ve added so much to our dining experience. Lovely hotel.

Loved everything about this hotel , great staff , no fighting for sunbeds, great views , great location. Was half board, can't complain , food was good & lots of choice. Preferred breakfast to lunch, think there was a bit more choice. But overall , really enjoyed our stay , returning again in January.
