Return to Azura- March 3-13th

Lovely boutique style small resort, beautifully designed ! 2 hours from Liberia Airport hence we booked 10 days but met guests who were here for 5.
Great staff ! From front desk to gardeners. Servers the best - Jose, Rolondo, Randy, James, Juan,
Ethan, Issac, Benjamin, Neo. Tao head server ? first impression not good- went on to see this guy is a perfectionist . Only two I recognized from last year. Management when your guests are happy with service pay attention to your employees.

Rooms clean and large lots of room - Run the water never an issue with hot water or towels.

Food - was missing the mammoth calamari from last year more like the frozen we get back here .
Tao - up on the third floor this year very good sushi , Pad Thai bring back the Tempura Ice Cream please ;)
Chill n Grill Fish Tacos, Chicken Wings - a very nice varied menu ,great little spot. Music is now available here in the evenings very low key. We had a CR dance group one night which we enjoyed.
Bocotta Italian again a winner ...well if you are Italian you might beg to differ.
Would we return - second time here so not sure but nothing on the fault of ABR.
Try the ATV tour from the resort Wilbur is your guide his English is rusty but so is my Spanish. We did this last year with him and ventured out again.
If you want to see more CR sights you are bit far removed.
We met some great guests .
Thank you Azura [Details]

Lovely Spot!

, Lower Sackville, NS
2020-03-04
We travelled to Costa Rica for the first time Feb 18 - 25, 2020

Lovely, new and modern resort. Rooms were great and staff were lovely. If you are looking for white sand, crystal waters (it is on the Pacific side where waters are more merky due to huge tides and volcanic sands) and partying into the evening, this resort is not for you. If you are looking to unwind and relax in the beauty that is Costa Rica, you will love it. Still going through some growing pains, but we would for sure return.

Happy to answer any questions.... [Details]

Good and hopefully getting better

Azura is a fairly new resort outside of Playa Samara and 2 hours from the nearest airport in Liberia. We were there over Christmas of what is their first holiday season. While the potential to be a great resort is there, they are still working through kinks in their services (i.e., housekeeping missing rooms, running out of clean towels, low on some spirits and food as well as not enough servers in restaurants). Hopefully with time these will improve.
We loved the pool and beach area which are both easily accessible from the rooms. The food at all three restaurants was good although sometimes the wait for service was a bit long.
There was some live music most nights but only until the bar closed at 10pm. There is very little in terms of party/nightlife otherwise.
Biggest suggestion for improvement is have the non-motorized beach activities available to your guests without an additional cost. It's a 4 star resort, we are already paying quite a bit, the kayaking and paddle boarding etc... should be included. [Details]

My wife and I stayed at this resort for our honeymoon. We were looking for a quiet place that we could enjoy each others company and enjoy some drinks and great meals.
Azura beach resort was definitely the right place for us.
The front desk staff were very courteous and made sure everything was right. They sent up a bottle of wine up to our room as a congratulations to our honeymoon, it was very thoughtful and much appreciated.
The bar staff were great and our main bartender Kevin was on point with the drinks, always making sure they were made consistently and right to our liking.
Jefferson was the chef in the grill n chill bar/restaurant and he was phenomenal. Five star quality food. From a simple burger to mahi mahi grilled he did a great job. If it wasn't on the menu he would always find a way to make it for you. My wife requested some spicy fries and he definitely delivered, so much so, that the rest of the guests were requesting them as well. So if you see spicy fries on the menu when you get there, you know who to thank ;)
Overall our stay couldn't have been better.
Thank you to all the staff at the resort. You made it a trip to remember. [Details]

Fantastic food and drinks. Everything was a la carte and made this feel like a 5star plus resort. First resort I've stayed at that the wifi is everywhere on the grounds and you don't have to pay any extra.
The weak points
Would have been nice to have some more variety of entertainment, but rainy season might have affected that portion. I think the bedsheets May be too high a thread count -not very breathable.

Great Week at Azura Beach Resort

, Gatineau, QC
2019-05-03
New modern hotel with beautiful detail in design. If you are looking for a quiet week in a peaceful environment, this would be a great choice.We went off shore fishing and took some surf lessons, which added to our experience. Carillo Beach (20 minute walk) is a spectacular beach not far away and allows you to see a multitude of wildlife, on the way. [Details]
