History
Secrets Papagayo Costa Rica opened at the end of November 2015 as AMResorts' first Secrets-branded property in Costa Rica, set on Culebra Bay in the Gulf of Papagayo on the Pacific coast of Guanacaste. The adults-only, all-inclusive resort brought the company's upscale 'Unlimited-Luxury' concept to the country, joining a portfolio that had until then been concentrated in Mexico and the Caribbean.
The 202-room resort spreads across lush, forested hillside grounds descending to the beach, and at opening offered four à-la-carte dining venues, five bars and lounges and a Pevonia spa, among other amenities. Aimed at couples and travelers seeking a tranquil tropical escape, it capitalized on Guanacaste's growing status as a luxury beach destination close to the Liberia international airport.
