This was our 27th year at costa sur, when we started going here it was costa villa valarta back in 1998. In those 27 years we have been here 15 times. We love the location on the coast, near old town, has a private beach, staff is super friendly and the price is competitive with similar places in the area. The overall condition of the property is decent in the common areas. But unfortunately the current owners don't keep the rooms in good shape. All but the 2nd floor in the north tower are in desperate, and I mean desperate need of major upgrades. The ninth floor on the south tower is completly shut down and has been for a few years, (we stayed on the 8th floor south tower) All the rooms need new everything, they need professional cleaning and some major deep cleaning. We tipped the heck out of our maids hoping it would at least get our room up to 3rd world cleaning standards, and it did, but folks "old world mexican charm" shouldn't be dirty everything. We have a soft spot for this place so even my review is done with some bias, bias in favor of this place. Don't get me started on when they have weddings, but that is for another day. Suggest reading some reviews on y e l p, and take it with a grain of salt. But unfortunately there is much accuracy in some to the reviews. Location-good, price-good, staff-good. Needs a major douche in both towers.
beach, private, nice rock jetty, clean, well maintained, they provide chairs and umbrellas.
Lobby, all redone, nice, clean, safe, now do the rest of the property!
Weddings, try to avoid any weekends when they have one. Trust me, you will be glad you did!

I’ll start by what we didn’t like - we arrived around 3:00pm and we’re told our room was not ready, would be another 40 minutes and they would contact us. We waited by the bar and after 90 minutes I went back to the front desk to ask about our room. I was told they messaged me our room was ready, I showed no such thing happened. From then on things were nice. Our room was clean, the bed comfortable. At the resort we spent most of our time around the pool. Drink service was easy, there were activities to do, plenty of lounges around the pool. With just one restaurant on the resort, meal choices were limited. We made one dinner reservation in town for our anniversary, the concierge was very helpful calling a few places to help make our reservation. The ocean view from our balcony was great especially given the daily passing of whales not 100 yards away. We would definitely recommend this resort. Just be aware, it is mostly an elderly retired group staying there.

We have visited here 5 times and enjoy the rooms, location and amenities including the pools and beach front swimming and smal shop. We were in an unrenovated room which was ok but the fridge was horrible. Freezer full of frost and dripped over everything below. The check in was confusing as far as how much we paid and even though confirmed all booking paid for was charged another night on exit. There was not an itemized list of nights and payments even though requested. I emailed them twice about reservation for Valentine's day and re list articles and no answers so communication and systems poor. Great decorations and entertainment for Valentine's Day but food expensive- soup and dessert good but main dish not so good .
