    Outstanding service

    This is a lush resort. The grounds are very well taken care of and beautiful. There are a lot of hills and the rooms are spread out. The shuttle drivers get you around quickly and were all very friendly and attentive. We wanted quiet and had requested a bungalow in the 300s near the spa and quiet pool. We were in 306 which was right there, beside the Aqua restaurant and Revive bar. The spa pool had only a few people every day. Activities were still available at the spa pool. Alison is so sweet, providing a gentle morning yoga class, and making us bracelets. Hilary provided Aqua Stretching. Other activities were available at the main pool. The food and the drinks were all excellent! Especially enjoyed so many varieties of mojitos! The Asian restaurant, was our favourite with fresh sushi and the cooking show was fun. And, of course the coffee and ice cream shop was a favourite. All the bartenders and wait staff were amazing, and made everything special for us. It is a black sand beach. We walked on the beach from the main area to the spa area. It is very sandy, however few swam. It is not a beach resort. However, when we were there it was very wet and a tropical storm had created more flooding and water than usual. Thank you Secrets Papagayo.

    Great stay

    We love Alison, she is part of the activities department and she is so energetic and vibrant and a beautiful smile. She does a great job and always with a big smile every day. We had a lovely time at the resort and will be back again ❤️ We also enjoyed the beach walks once the rain stopped long enough to dry everything out.

    Lovely

    Beautiful resort and wonderful staff. We visited when the worst weather was leaving- but we made the most of our stay. Everything was clean, sushi was amazing, drinks were delicious, bartenders were fun. We would recommend this resort and would love to come back one day.

    Birthday trip

    Beautiful location and resort. Our room needed to be cleaned again when we arrived but they were quick to do so and it's been wonderful since. Dinner last night at the seafood restaurant was really good. Highly recommend the ceviche. Great bracelet making class with Ariana. Very helpful and patient.
