Glen's Recommendation
June 2026I spent time at Secrets Papagayo Costa Rica in the Papagayo area, and it’s one of those places that really understands what an adults-only getaway should feel like: relaxed, polished, and easy. From the moment I arrived, the vibe was calm and unhurried, which is exactly what many travelers want when they’re escaping to Guanacaste.
What stood out most to me was how effortless the all-inclusive experience felt. The dining options were a big part of that—good variety, generous portions, and a level of convenience that makes it easy to settle in and enjoy the stay without constantly planning your next meal. I also appreciated how close everything was to the water. You’re not juggling long transfers or complicated logistics here; the beach-adjacent setting makes it easy to move between pool time, meals, and a walk by the bay.
This is a strong choice for couples, honeymooners, or anyone looking for a quieter, more refined base in Papagayo. It’s not trying to be a wild party resort. Instead, it leans into comfort, service, and a more grown-up atmosphere. If that’s what you’re after, it delivers.
Travel With Glen Pro Tip: Book a room with a better view if your budget allows, and plan one sunset stroll by the water before dinner—the location really shines at golden hour.
