Really good Dining Experience

“Every restaurant we visited at Secrets Papagayo exceeded our expectations. We especially loved the Market Restaurant, where the servers were not only friendly but also incredibly accommodating. If you have a craving, they'll whip something up for you if it’s available in the kitchen. The variety of options, including the A-la-Carte choices like Portofino, kept our dining experience exciting throughout our stay. The absence of need for reservations was a great bonus!” view full review

Relaxing Spa Pool Area

“The Spa area provided an oasis of tranquility. We often found ourselves at the quieter pool next to the spa, which was perfect for relaxation. The atmosphere was peaceful, allowing us to unwind and enjoy our time. The Aqua restaurant nearby, with its beautiful views, also became a favorite spot for our midday meals. The combination of relaxation and good food was simply good!” view full review

Cozy Bungalow Experience

“Our room was a Tropical View Bungalow, beautifully arranged and recently refurbished. The spacious patio was a fantastic place to sit and watch the vibrant local wildlife, such as green parrots. The comfortable bed and modern amenities made our stay cozy and refreshing.” view full review
