Travelocity Verified Review
"We had a wonderful stay at Secrets Papagayo Costa Rica and would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and memorable getaway. The resort facilities are beautiful and incredibly well maintained, with lush tropical landscaping, gorgeous views, and a peaceful atmosphere that truly makes you feel like you are in paradise. One of the biggest highlights of our stay was the staff. Everyone we encountered was friendly, welcoming, and genuinely attentive. The team consistently went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. The level of service made the experience feel special from beginning to end. We were also very impressed with the food. There were plenty of delicious options across the resort, with enough variety to keep meals interesting throughout our stay. Whether we wanted something casual or a more elevated dinner experience, we always found something we enjoyed. The location is another major advantage. Set along the beautiful Gulf of Papagayo, the resort offers stunning scenery and a peaceful, secluded feel while still being conveniently located for exploring the Guanacaste region and enjoying excursions. Overall, Secrets Papagayo exceeded our expectations. Between the beautiful facilities, exceptional and attentive staff, delicious food, and incredible location, it was a fantastic experience. We left feeling relaxed, well cared for, and already talking about returning. Highly recommended!"
