    Ambience great, food not so much!

    Ambience great. Drinks pretty good. Excursions were fabulous. Pool areas were awesome. Food was way below average. No local food. Japanese restaurant was only one that was decent. Too spread out. Gotta get rides everywhere.

    Loved every second!

    Highly recommend! The resort was so nice! The food and drinks were excellent! Even during rainy season the weather was perfect most of the time- just humid. Rooms were cozy - views were great. Highly recommend the jet ski tour that is offered by a guy right near the beach. Bring bug spray and lots of sunscreen. Bring walking shoes the resort is VERY hilly! My husband and I easily walked the whole thing - most people took the shuttles which seemed to take way too long.

    Rio Celeste Waterfall and Rainforest Hike

    This tour was led by Esteban through AmStar and was a pretty good one! We had a chocolate and Coffee tasting at a plantation. It was neat to see the total process of Costa Rican Coffee and the work that goes into it. Sloth Land was next and it was THE HIT. We saw multiple sloths, spyder monkeys, toucans, parrots and much more. It was fantastic. We had lunch at a local restaurant where we pre-ordered our meal through Esteban. It was delicious as well. Last, we took a hike into a national park and saw the Rio Celeste Waterfall. Along the hike, we saw parrots, and a pit viper! It was a gorgeous, but wet, hike (you are in the rainforest. - a landslide knocked out a a part of the steps, so we couldn’t get down to the waterfall- but it was pretty nonetheless. Take hiking boots! Esteban was fantastic.

    A so-so Resort Secrets Papagayo Costa Rica

    The resort was okay but I wouldn't go back. Though my friends and I don't regret our stay at Secrets I'm not sure that I would recommend it. Sorry, just not my favorite. It would not allow me to attach any pictures.

    Amazing 🤩

    Just WOW! Let me start by saying I’ve stayed at many all-inclusive resorts, including Secrets Cancun—which I wouldn’t recommend. The food there was honestly disappointing, it was a joke. As a Mexican and a skilled home cook, I know what authentic Mexican food tastes like, and that wasn’t it. Because of that bad experience, I was very hesitant to try Secrets Papagayo Costa Rica. I wasn’t sure if the poor quality was a “Secrets” issue or something specific to Cancun. My expectations were low—but I’m so glad I gave this resort a chance! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND it. The food was outstanding (I didn’t try the buffet, I’m not a big fan of buffets or breakfast in general), and the staff were incredible: always cheerful, attentive, and helpful! A special thank you to Juan at the lobby, who went above and beyond from the very first day to help us with anything we needed. Everyone at the restaurants was kind and respectful, but the entire team at Sea Side Grill truly stood out. Their hospitality was next level—they honestly deserve a raise. Huge thanks to Randy, Thanya, Yesner, Fernando, Chef Gerardo, and Eli from transportation! Mil gracias! 🙏🏼 Pura Vida 💟 Will I come back? Absolutely, yes!
