Check-in was chaos, 3 different people coming at us talking all at once, "Preferred" check-in area, more chaos, had to wait for one of the 5 people there could check us in. Angie was rude, focused on getting payment. I thought I had already paid a deposit and she challenged me for confirmation. Never had I had to pay for a hotel prior to check out. I was wearing dress linen shorts and was not allowed in Portofino. Fabrizio, the waiter seemed to be in a rush, had no clue what a mocktail was and did not care to explain available rum choices. Said they were the same rums as everywhere else in the hotel. Dealing with staff, always seemed that it was everyone’s first day or that they had never been asked for hot milk for the coffee, or put lots of ice in a drink, or bring the entire can of coke to the table. Something as simple as asking for a shuttle and have our rental car brought to the lobby seemed to cause confusion. I know English is not the first language, it seemed that the people did not clearly understand. I speak Spanish and even then it was very hard to communicate. The food was meh, felt pre-prepared and no effort to make it look or taste good, except for the Seaside Grill, that was the one positive about the food. Hotel was dilapidated, the grounds not landscaped, pool straight out of the ‘70s. Making teppanyaki reservation was super hard. Zero Attention to Detail, zero customer service, spelling errors and inconsistent translations everywhere. Disappointed.

Nice resort
Resort was clean and staff were friendly and helpful. Food was to be expected for an all inclusive, mediocre at times but ok in certain restaurants. Be prepared to wait for transports but not extended times. You can walk but in the heat, not recommended. Beach is nice but don’t expect Caribbean blues or white sand.

We stayed for 11 nights in December and there were areas that were excellent and others lacking. The resort is low key and spread over the hillside, they do have shuttles running non stop, but if you don’t want to wait and ride be prepared for hilly walks. Definitely bring mosquito spray. Ocean access in a very calm bay, mix of sands but not used much, beach is public so be aware. Wait staff and bar staff were amazing special mention to Armando in portfofino restaurant and bartenders William and Ronnie. Entertainment crew was great really enjoyed the water aerobics. Food at specialty restaurants Portfino-Italian, Himitsu-Asian, Aqua-lighter meals, was all very good. Seaside grill was disappointing, protein over cooked, sauces and sides as ordered were missing and service lacking. Buffet okay. Grounds very well tended. Con’s, property is showing age in areas. The hot water system at peak times 3-5pm daily could not keep up with demand. Was also smell of sewage some nights. Our a/c unit malfunctioned and leaked water. It was repaired quickly but we did lose a night of sleep as it broke overnight. Housekeeping was inconsistent. Lounge chairs in spa area need replacing, many had broken welds, rust, and should not have been in use. Resort is in isolated area so don’t expect to walk to amenities, not a negative, but important to know and be aware driving can be an issue due to the highway you need to access to get to volcanoes and other sites backing up badly morning and evening.

Absolutely gorgeous property and friendly staff and food was above average. Unfortunately, everything else was a miss. Beach is pretty much none existent unless you like 'muddy' sand. Mirky water and jetskis flying around you and smelling like gasoline fuel. Getting around was difficult, if you have leg issues look elsewhere. A lot of uphill and downhill, you pretty much have to take a shuttle from your room to the main areas and sometimes waiting 10 to 15 minutes for a shuttle. Most things s above and beyond your included cost is expensive, but we already knew Costa Rica wasn't one of the inexpensive destinations. As a high end Secreta brand, small thing s we are use to from other brands of this caliber was it included in this resort ie. Transfer to airport is extra, really? Top shelf alcohol, unless you pay for Preferred status, I despise this mentality, people who can't afford that extra gets push to the back of the line like restaurant reservations. Tipping, we come from resorts that cost the same that has a no tipping policy, tipping creates favoritism again, level the playing field, this works sooo much better. Costa Rica is a absolutely gorgeous country, the excursions is where it's at to experience the country, unfortunately this resorts falls short of a few things we are used to in this category of a higher end adult all inclusive. Too bad, We really wanted to love this resort.

Great place, but a one time only place for me
The hotel is on a beautiful beach property, its absolutely gorgeous. The service wqs amazing. Drinks were good food was ok but im an extremely picky eater, its hard to please me when ut comes to food so for other's it may be outstanding. This will be my only visit though. The rooms especially those with the beach view, sit up on hills with a steep incline. You can wait for a ride to come and pick you up which on several occasions didnt come or where extremely slow or you are can walk down the steep hill. For those with physical limitations, that wont work. Im in pretty good shape but walking the hills were even rough for me. When its raining they dont want to send transportation up because its dangerous, but its dangerous for you to walk too because you could eassily slip and fall, so not something i would want to deal with again. But its definitely worth it for the experience at least once because staff, service and the asthetics of the place are amazing!

Prior to our stay, I had read so many negative reviews mentioning the food, cost of excursions, steep hills the resort is built on, etc. It is truly unfortunate how hard it is to please some people. This was not our experience at all. There are so many options for food where you’re bound to find something you like, and despite negative reviews, the breakfast at Market Café was amazing with so many options including a chef making omelets to-order and a staff member making smoothies with your choice of ingredients. Excursions with AmStar on site were very reasonably priced considering everything that is included. The steep hills of the resort - yes, are very steep. However, this is what makes the resort so unique and beautiful! All of these levels and layers to the grounds and bungalows. Not to mention their shuttle crew is super quick to pick you up and take you anywhere you want to go on the resort. Every. single. staff member was gracious, kind, helpful, and always going above and beyond. We’re already booking our trip next year!

Secrets Papagayo is a beautiful resort with exceptional hospitality and stunning views. While there were some areas that fell short, such as the lack of authentic local cuisine and a few issues with staff and excursion representation, the overall experience was enjoyable. I would recommend this resort to others, but with the caveat that they should be aware of its limitations and make an informed decision based on their preferences.

Great service provided by many of the staff members but specifically Randy and Adrian by the main pool and William the bartender. They all had excellent service and were so kind. However, Marcos driving one of the shuttle buses made us feel extremely uncomfortable by lecturing us about having to wait outside for the shuttle after leaving us waiting outside for 30 minutes and then he proceeded to stare us down for a tip after said lecture.
