    A+ Service

    Erick was the best server I've ever had staying at a resort. He went above and beyond to make sure me and my wife had the best experience while staying here. We had shared great conversations and many laughs along the way!

    Best celebration vacation ever

    My significant other and I came to the resort to celebrate our friend’s wedding. There was a large group of us and we all had an absolutely amazing time. The staff was friendly, always greeted us with a smile, polite and the service was phenomenal. We hope to be back soon! Shout out to the activity team members Merari and Stewart. They gave us an experience we will never forget and created a fun environment throughout our stay. Also, the transportation crew, especially Nelson, were accommodating at all times and provided us a cool ride to and from our room. The entire staff was truly amazing, this trip would not have been as successful as it was without them. PURA VIDA!!

    Great Trip

    We had a great time. Food was excellent. Activities were fun. Housekeeping was great. There were a few times in the evenings around dinner where you did have to wait a bit longer for the shuttle but Marcos and the rest of the staff were amazing! Highly suggest the rum tasting!

    Worn down all inclusive

    Secrets Papagayo definitely is showing its age. We had ants in our shower, service was slow and the overall appearance of the resort looked worn. Food was pretty mediocre and drinks were full of sugar. We would not recommend traveling to this resort, but would recommend Costa Rica, particularly the Arenal Volcano area to others.
