    Nice resort. Could really use an update. BE FOREWARNED about the UVC salespeople

    Our stay at Secrets Papagayo was, for the most part, quite enjoyable. We had 2 major complaints. First, the furniture, both in the room and poolside, really needs replacing. We had to place extra pillows on our couch so as to provide some padding and not sink down. The cushions on the lounge chairs at the pools have very little padding left. Furthermore, more shade is needed poolside. If you didn't get out early and place some towels on chaise lounges under an umbrella, you were out of luck. I think only about half the lounge chairs have umbrellas. Our other complaint has to do with the Unlimited Vacation Club representatives. These people tell you about all these VIP benefits and credits. Be aware that these people are really just trying to get you in a room and pressure you into buying into their vacation club. We figured it out early enough and told them to take a hike.

    Absolutely amazing!!

    Secrets in Costa Rica was amazing. Emily in activities is absolutely amazing. She is very kind and loves to make sure you enjoy your time. They need a little better transport system but with the hills I understand why they need to use the mini vans. I would come back here again.
