Secrets Papagayo Resort Romantic Getaway

Your getaway begins with a welcome at Liberia International Airport and a private transfer toward Papagayo’s coastal hills. At Secrets Papagayo, tropical gardens and hillside rooms overlook the Pacific, while the beach and two pools invite you to settle into a slower rhythm. Six nights in one resort give you time to discover your favorite corners and enjoy them again.

Your Bungalow Suite Tropical View offers a comfortable retreat between adventures, with a private balcony or terrace, a seating area and a coffee maker for leisurely mornings. Around the resort, a choice of restaurants and bars brings variety to the day: a relaxed lunch, a tropical drink beside the pool and dinner in a different atmosphere. It is easy to make each evening feel like another date together.

Three free days leave plenty of room for the resort. Take a walk toward the beach, spend an afternoon poolside or explore the rotating activity schedule, which can include cooking lessons, yoga and water aerobics. Rooms and common areas spread across the hillside, with a complimentary shuttle available around the property.

On Day 3, Congo Trails takes you into a private forest preserve for a guided canopy adventure. Zip between platforms among Guanacaste trees and cross hanging bridges above the forest floor. Guides introduce the equipment and lead you through the course, with bird and insect calls accompanying your journey through the canopy.

Day 5 brings the Rincon Waterfalls Experience. A horseback ride through forest leads toward Las Chorreras waterfalls, followed by visits to the blue pools of Pozas Azules. Enjoy a traditional Costa Rican lunch at Hacienda Guachipelin before continuing to waterfalls along the Negro River and La Oropendola’s striking cascade in the Río Blanco canyon.

Together, these outings and unhurried coastal days create a week with both adventure and time for each other. Enjoy the included vacation as it is, with Pacific Trade Winds ready to help make the details feel like yours.

• One resort for six nights means more time to settle in and no midweek packing.
• Free Days 2, 4 and 6 leave generous space between the two included outings.
• Congo Trails adds ziplining and hanging bridges to the beach week; Rincón adds horseback riding, waterfall pools and lunch.
• For a gentler outing, consider birdwatching or a river float. For a more active day, compare the national-park hikes, caves and Tenorio rafting.

Keep plenty of time for the coast or add a different view of Guanacaste. A birdwatching walk, a river float, a volcanic hot-spring outing or a more energetic adventure can replace either included tour. Choose the pace and transportation that suit the week you have in mind.

A private transfer takes you from Liberia International Airport to Secrets Papagayo and returns you to the airport at the end of the week. Shared round-trip transport accompanies the two included outings. A rental car can be substituted at an adjusted rate.

The Rincón Waterfalls Experience requires good or normal physical condition and is unsuitable for guests with pre-existing back issues, heart ailments or pregnancy.
