Secrets Papagayo Costa Rica - Adults Only - All Inclusive

“Great entertainment crew”

We had a great time playing with the entertainment crew Jerick, Alison, Francis, Hilla and Edward. They were great and kept us very entertained. Randy gave us great service poolside. Gerardo gave great food from the bare foot grill. Edward is very good at basketball and water polo in the pool

We recently enjoyed an 8 night stay at Secrets Papagayo. It was our first time in Costa Rica and I am sure we will return again. Staff and everyone we met in the community were gracious and kind and so welcoming. The view from the reception area is amazing, the landscape is stunning, mountains and the beautiful bay. Our room was comfortable and serviced to perfection each day. You can request cleaning through the app and it worked perfectly. Daily delivery of coffee to the “secret box” started our day off right and was always right on time. We enjoyed many delicious meals here, breakfast at the Marketplace was always a treat and the smiles of Annabelle and Michelle made us feel perfectly welcome. The fruit here was so delicious we started each breakfast with a large plate. Sorry we missed mango season! Lunch was typically at Aqua, and we had stellar service from Ingrid, Jose, and Jimmy. These staff really went out of their way to ensure a quality experience for us. We did wish there had been some daily specials or a menu change mid week but we certainly managed. Dinners at all the restaurants were great but our favorites were Seaside Grill and Himatsu. The sushi and Tom Yum soup were delicious. One suggestion would have been for some Costa Rican menu items to have been offered, but perhaps we missed this somewhere. We ate earlier and never waited for a table. Coco Cafe provided us with delicious hot tea after dinner and some yummy desserts and cookies. The bars seemed to be always open, and we enjoyed the selection of beers, house wine was pretty good, the Sauv Blanc and Sparkling were the favorites. Craft cocktails here were fresh and amazing! Eddie at the spa bar and William at the poolside bar are master mixologists. Ask them for a specialty cocktail and you won’t be disappointed. They seemed to have plenty of top-shelf alcohol, with the exception of bourbon, Jim Beam is the standard. We weren’t preferred so perhaps they offer something different there, at the preferred bar. We didn’t want for anything so for us, it didn’t impact our stay in the slightest. The shuttle drivers, if you use them, are prompt and so friendly. Nelson, in particular was so kind and gracious to us. The gift shop has a lot of items for sale, but the prices are steep. It is very convenient however! One thing to note, pool chairs fill up quickly, so if your preference is to lounge by the pool for the day, plan accordingly. Some days it was frustrating for folks to find a chair after 10-11 am, but other days there were opportunities available. Swimming on the beach was great for a few days but then a purple flag went up, which signaled dangerous marine life so we stuck to the pools. The activity staff work very hard to ensure all guests are entertained if they wish to be but they aren’t intrusive. It’s a unique property offering a different experience than a Caribbean Resort vacation. Pura Vida!

“Highly recommend for relaxation”

Perfect mix of luxury, relaxation and activities. Ivan in market restaurant made us very welcome on our first day (and every day thereafter!) explaining the app and dress codes for the different restaurants.

Perfect mix of luxury, relaxation and activities. Ivan in market restaurant made us very welcome on our first day (and every day thereafter!) explaining the app and dress codes for the different restaurants. Snorkelling with Alison and kayaking with Ariana was so much fun and sights were beautiful. Christian at the entertainment centre was always a friendly face and a good conversation. Every meal we had was excellent quality. This is an all inclusive resort like we’d never experienced, would highly recommend. The walk and steps to rooms are a lot but we used it as an opportunity to improve our fitness! Not as much wildlife around the hotel as other places but beautiful grounds nonetheless.

“Secrets Papagayo was amazing”

Alison Francis William Fernando were awesome! Entertainment team was great . Shuttle drivers are friendly and actually remember your room numbers. The downside is a lot of walking and steep hills to climb. That helps burn the calories from the good food!
