Delicious Dining Experience

“During my stay, I was thoroughly impressed by the variety and quality of the food at the resort. The Seaside Grill was a standout, serving the best fish and steak I've ever had. My fiancé couldn't stop raving about the ribeye he ordered. We also enjoyed the buffet at the Market Café for breakfast, which had a fantastic selection. Every meal was a delight!” view full review

I also appreciated that the spa offered a variety of treatments, making it a perfect retreat during our stay.” view full review

Comfortable Room Upgrade

“We opted for a Preferred Member room and it was worth it! The view from our room was amazing, and the amenities were great. It was spacious, with a king-size bed that was quite comfortable. Plus, we had a mini fridge stocked with beverages. I particularly enjoyed waking up every morning to the fantastic view of the ocean from our private balcony.” view full review

Cozy and Inviting

“The bedroom we stayed in had a great design with lots of natural light. It was equipped with a comfortable bed and plush pillows, perfect for long restful nights. Although I found the bed to be a bit firm, the pillow service allowed me to customize my comfort. It made for a cozy retreat after each day’s adventures.” view full review

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! Nestled in a quiet bay, it was the perfect escape surrounded by nature. The staff made us feel welcome and the clean, comfortable rooms with stunning views added to the experience. However, I did find the food options quite basic, and the beach wasn't the soft sand paradise I was hoping for. Overall, it's a fantastic place for a relaxing getaway.

My stay at Secrets Papagayo was a dream come true! The resort truly exceeded my expectations with its stunning setting, superb staff, and fantastic dining options. The location is breathtaking, but there could be better shade options around the pool and beach areas. Overall, I had an incredible experience and would recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway.

The resort's facilities were top-notch, but there was a noticeable lack of shade at the spa pool and beach. More umbrellas would greatly improve the experience.

I had an absolutely wonderful time at this resort! The service was top-notch, and the staff truly went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. The beautiful beach made for easy swimming, kayaking, and paddle boarding, and the food—especially the hibachi—was fantastic. We encountered some challenging guests during our stay, but overall, it didn’t affect our enjoyment. I highly recommend making reservations for the hibachi as it fills up quickly!

Secrets Papagayo was a wonderful winter getaway with beautiful grounds and a variety of dining options. The rooms were spacious and had stunning views, though there were a few hiccups with service, especially in the restaurants. The steep hills can be a challenge for some, so a shuttle service is appreciated. Overall, it's a great value for a relaxing stay in Costa Rica.
