Jul 16, 2025Disappointing resort not worth it
Horrible room service. Very rude customer service. Had a great time off the resort. Won’t be booking with Secrets ever again. No communication with shuttle service or wedding coordinator with the wedding party. Italian restaurant was some of the worst food I’ve ever had and I’m part Italian, the food had no flavor and very watery. Paid a lot of money to stay multiple nights and did not get my monies worth. I will be back to Costa Rica but not there or at a Secrets resort ever again.

Jul 15, 2025Very hilly but nice.
All inclusive, nice beach, rooms, and food. Easy access to Costa Rica rainforest and other attractions. Beware the resort is very spread out and to get places you must walk fairly steep inclines or wait for a shuttle. Two pools. Three specialty restaurants, nice buffet and quiet modern rooms. Overall we liked the resort.

What a way to celebrate
I really liked this resort. The staff was so friendly and professional. I would go back again. I celebrated my 50th birthday here and everyone made me feel very special.

Beautiful Setting and Great Staff!
We just returned from a relaxing weeklong stay at Secrets Papagayo and overall had a wonderful time! The resort is tucked into the hills and surrounded by lush greenery—it really feels like a private, tropical hideaway. The setting is truly stunning. We stayed in one of the bungalow-style rooms, which was spacious, very private, and incredibly quiet. Perfect for unwinding after a day in the sun. The staff across the board were friendly and helpful, always greeting us with a smile and making sure we were taken care of. A special shoutout to William in the Preferred Club Lounge—he made the best smoked Old Fashioneds and had a great way of interacting with everyone. The lounge itself was a lovely place to cool down and relax in the afternoons. We enjoyed all of the restaurants, with our favorites being Himitsu and the Seaside Grill. The entertainment team also made a great impression. They had great energy and did a fantastic job getting guests involved. I especially loved the aqua stretching class and the kayaking tour—such fun ways to start the day! That said, there were a couple of downsides. During our stay, there were a lot of weddings and private dinners, which unfortunately meant the Aqua Restaurant was closed 6 out of the 7 nights. Our room was very close to Aqua, so we noticed the activity and missed being able to enjoy the space in the evenings. Still, the beauty of the resort, the friendliness of the staff, and the peaceful setting made this a memorable trip. Just be aware that depending on the week, private events may affect access to some amenities.
