12/7/2023 0 Comments Tripadvisor secrets costa ricaMy husband and I (neither of us large) couldn't sleep in the same bed. When we got to the room there were two beds. (Then had to listen to the silly sales pitch-I wish they'd stop doing this, it's so off putting). We had a preferred room-when we checked in they confirmed a king bed ocean view room. They did and it in fact was-which was nice after the long transfer. We arrived slightly early from another resort and had called before and verified a room would be ready for us. We frequented Himitsu during our trip and every night we attended, Joheidy greeted us with the warmest smile and friendliest conversation, she even found us the night before we left and had a gift for my wife and our son she is carrying! Without these people and all the others (can't stress enough how great EVERYONE was) this resort would just be a beautiful beach and good food, they made it truly special for us.I want to start by saying the staff here were all incredibly friendly and definitely get a 5/5 rating from me. The pool bar and Barefoot staffs turned out drinks and fun and chatted all through the hot days with us, Ronnie, Jose, Eduardo and Adrian all became friends and added so much to our days we hung out by the pool. The whole entertainment team, Yasniri and Eduardo specifically, led games, events and activities all day, every day and contributed so much to our week, with hikes, crazy games, the shows at night or just having fun hanging by the pool. Anthony greeted us almost every morning at Market Cafe and always had a kind word or a special drink suggestion for us. They all became friends and we feel blessed for having gotten to know them. Anthony from the market cafe, Ronnie, Adrian, Jose and Eduardo from the pool bar and Barefoot, Yasniri and Eduardo from the entertainment team and Joheidy from Himitsu really went above and beyond to make our time there unforgettable. We were treated so kindly by so many people who worked there, I can't name them all. The shows put on by the entertainment crew were also incredible! As wonderful as the resort and vacation was, what really made it special was the staff. 2 of the 7 nights we had underwhelming dinners, but every other meal was top tier, the breakfast buffet, and the Asian fusion restaurant were highlights, as well as the Costa Rica Night dinner and show they had outside the market Cafe, poolside. We had hot sunny days every day, with beautiful blue skies. Lots of animals, blue rivers and rainforest terrain, even the bus ride was informative and beautiful sightseeing opportunities. Although we did take an excursion through the company partnered with the resort to the rainforest which was amazing. Highly recommend snorkeling right from the resort beach to see colorful tropical fish, sting rays, puffers, jellyfish, I even saw a turtle! No excursion necessary. The grounds and beach, weather and wildlife were all fantastic. We had a preferred club upgraded room which overlooked the Gulf of Papagayo, great sunsets over the water every night from our bedroom or private deck was a big plus. My wife and I stayed at secrets papagayo for 7 nights for our honeymoon in spring 2023.
