Secrets Papagayo Costa Rica

Guanacaste
We just got back from a 2 weeks stay in the preferred room 246. Best room location by far! Service was absolutely brilliant! This is not my first trip to Guanacaste, in fact it’s basically the only resort I hadn’t yet stayed at (was recently at the Westin, Dreams, etc). Prior to trying out the Secrets! The location is perfect, it’s a close distance to four seasons. Fun fact: (if you take the wave runner out you’ll drive past Kim Kardashians villa that she stays at ;)). Restaurants were nice (food is always there you’ll never go hungry preferred status allows you to eat in the lounge if you aren’t up for buffet and allows you to have lunch at seaside not just breakfast!). Two good pointers for food. 1) Japanese was our fav, order the shrimp curry - you will thank me later! 2) once a week a food truck shows up down towards the beach from 12pm-3pm, you MUST try their ribs (beef not pork - there’s over 100 sauces to choose from), you won’t regret it! Preferred room 246 is between main pool and quiet pool. An easy 5 minute walk uphill to the main pool (I timed it) and 3 minute walk to the quiet pool / spa / aqua restaurant. Once you learn the direction of the walk it’s very assessable without waiting for a shuttle! It’s also very secluded in that room which we loved, with a stunning view! Monkeys usually hangout by the lobby early AM - I also took the wave runner out and stopped at the resort near by and saw over 100 (two kinds of howlers & and then white faced - don’t feed them bananas it actually gives them potassium poisoning, they lose their hair and can die - true story. Apples only. But don’t get caught ;). Also if you are into cocktails, especially smoked old fashions (not all the bar tenders make them the same obviously). Find the bar tender Christianny, he’s an absolutely brilliant mixologist - he’s even won some awards. Also you’ll likely find William, Adrian, Alonso, Jose near the main pool / barefoot grill. Give them a shout out! Pura Vida. 🤙
