Overall Ratings & Reviews Azura Beach Resort - All Inclusive - Adults Only

Good

I loved everything about this resort. The staff are fabulous. The food is amazing. And the beach is breath taking and I loved watching the sunset everyday. 5 stars!!

Excellent!

Excellent and relaxing. If you like an authentic, quiet and quaint secluded beach resort vacation in Costa Rica, feeling as if you owned a piece of Costa Rica all to your self, this resort would not disappoint you. Very close to the town to where you can walk thru the beach which takes only 15 mins. There is an excursion desk that helps organize daily activities for staying guests. We took the 3 hours horse ride and a separate coffee tour on alternative days during our stay, which are very enjoyable. The food and service at the resort are also nice.

Pros- it’s quiet, clean and peaceful Staff are very nice, helpful and answer immediately Cons- only one restaurant is open each day There are no activities. It’s catered towards older folks The food options are very limited for vegetarians We were not allowed towards the other side that apparently was only for club access which had too shelf liquor

This resort labels itself as all inclusive, which it partly is. They serve guests food and drinks, to include room service, from 7am - 10pm. Before 7am, it’s difficult to find coffee and after 10pm no drinks are served. Also, after breakfast, there was really no where to get snacks until lunch began being served around 12:15. Outside of service being subpar, the grounds are gorgeous. The entire hotel has green luscious plants, vines and beautiful flowers. The town is close enough to walk and the excursions they offer were simply amazing.

Hotel was very late checking us in, room was very dirty

We enjoyed the 3 restaurants on the property, Italian, Steak and Japanese. The service at the pool bar great, it takes a little bit for drinks but they are working hard and are very friendly Great massage by Cilenia. Axel took great care of us for lunch and dinner. Naum Flores was very helpful at the front desk.

We loved our stay here and felt the other reviews we read prior to arriving were pretty accurate! The property is beautiful and well maintained. The staff was exceptional and the service, while at times longer, was also high-quality. This resort doesn’t necessarily stay open very late and is for someone looking for a more laidback atmosphere. The food and cocktails were without question the best we’ve had at an all-inclusive. We were well-pleased and enjoyed every meal. The nearby town, Samara, is also a quick cab ride or a 30-40 minute walk by beach for a change of scenery. Overall, we loved our stay here, will recommend it to those we know, and hope to return someday!

First and foremost, the staff were absolutely fantastic!!! They were ALL so friendly, funny and accommodating. They made the stay so enjoyable. The resort boasts 5 restaurants but based on hotel occupancy they are not all open each night. It does make business sense and I get it. I was just surprised by this when we got there. You need to make reservations each day for where you want to dine that night (based on what restaurants are open). You need to do this first thing in the morning or you may not get into your preferred restaurant for that night. For the most part, the food was very good to excellent. Our favorites were the Asian and Italian restaurants. They seemed to be most guests favorites. Laundry seemed to be an issue every day. We were never given a full compliment of towels each day and often had to go to the front desk to ask for hand towels and wash clothes. The beach was really nice but it's not a "sugar sand" beach. When the tide is out you have around 150 (or more) yards of hard-pack sand that is great for beach walking or running. It's a nice walk into Samara on the beach - about 1.5 miles and takes about 25-30 minutes. Some good tourist shopping and beach bars there. There are also several surfing schools there if you want to try that. The waves are great to learn on. We could not believe how warm the water was in the ocean (March). I've never felt the ocean that warm before. We were very happy there!

Beautiful hotel and the best staff of any resort we've have stayed in.

Excellent!

Jonathan, Kendra, Wendy, and Smiley all gave the best professional service with super friendly and positive attitude. Their service was above and beyond.

The property was smaller than I like. The staff spoke very little English. Reservations were needed for restaurants, but no one to seat you on arrival, you can seat yourself. When ordering food, the order was always incorrect. The mini bar in the room was restocked once in 5 days.

We have gone to quite a few all inclusive hotels and this was by far one of best ones. This place was absolutely incredible! Really well kept, super clear. The staff was amazing, very accommodating, the food at every one of restaurants was really good. We also booked massages at their spa, by far one of the best massages we’ve ever had! We went to the spa on our last day and we wished we had gone earlier so that we could have gone back a second time. We did the sunset excursion which was super fun. I cannot say enough good things about this resort, we cannot wait to go back and we will.

Azura is a smaller all inclusive. The staff were welcoming and lovely; although, it was evident that the place was very understaffed. Room cleaning usually came around 3-4pm each day when we were taking a break in the room. The turn down service was somewhat inconsistent. The hot water was consistent as well; there were two days where the shower only got to lukewarm. Nevertheless, the beach is beautiful. The place was not super crowded, which made for a nice, restful stay.

This is a smaller resort which we liked. Pool was nice and beach was a short walk. We had a Junior King Suite, nice setup, however would have loved to have in the room a comfy chair or sofa to relax or stretch out on instead of the bed. The French restaurant is closed so that limited our choices. The Italian food was great, best risotto! The wait, pool and bar staff was very friendly. Just a note, the resort is about 2 1/2 hours away from the Liberia airport so be aware. We were able to arrange a pick up to and from the airport thru the resort for an additional fee. Overall a nice stay!

No entertainment. No activities. Nothing rdpecial for a high price.

The hotel was very nice even though it was small. You had easy access to the beach! The drinks and food were very good.

This hotel is a scam. There are no ocean view rooms. The hotel is set back from the beach with large trees blocking the view. The hotel is 3 stories tall so u can’t really see the ocean. It’s a beautiful view, but don’t expect an ocean view if u are paying extra for one. They “upgraded” us to a ground floor pool view with no tub even though we booked an ocean view tub suite. We pushed back and finally got the room we booked but we were disappointed to see there was no ocean view. Additionally, The bathroom had black mold all around the shower floor, the curtains were broken so we had no privacy. The couch in the room was dirty, our bed frame was stained with a suspicious liquid. We were locked out of our room multiple times and had to wait for a technician to open to our door. We saw other guests experiencing to the same thing. No hot water when we tried to shower. Chemicals were poured into the pool while guests were swimming. Breakfast buffet was barely edible. We booked for 6 nights but packed our bags and left 2 days later. They are refusing to refund us for the remainder of our stay but we don’t care because we are so grateful to no longer be in that nightmare of a resort. If you are well travelled and expect a 4 star experience, you will be greatly disappointed. Also please avoid the gym, my husband almost broke his ankle using their treadmill because the treadmill carpet kept sticking and randomly stopping. They also make their workers work 18 hours a day. Terrible.
