Secrets Papagayo Costa Rica

The short version

Couples come first at Secrets Papagayo Costa Rica, an adults-only (18+) resort on Arenilla beach in the Gulf of Papagayo, inside a secure community on the Pacific coast. There are seven places to eat, from à la carte restaurants and a buffet to a grill and a café, and two pools: a main one with a swim-up bar and a quieter relaxation pool. The spa offers couples massages in outdoor rooms. Worth a look for a honeymoon.
