Secrets Papagayo Resort: A lovely tranquil spot.

The hotel is nice enough although showing signs of wear in the tropical bungalow we were in. The weather and food made up for it.The big disappointment was the fact that 4 of the teams from the Under 17 Girls World Cup Soccer were staying at this resort greatly reducing the number of guests around in the evening.The night life was virtually nothing. One of the teams was from North Korea and the security around them was so tight that no one was allowed on the property unless they were registered  [... read more]guests. This posed a huge problem for me because I was there to celebrate a milestone birthday and my son and daughter-in-law who were staying in Tamarindo were not allowed to come to be with us to celebrate.That was the whole point of the trip for me and if I had been informed of this beforehand I would most certainly have chosen a different resort. The beach is in a cove so nice and quiet and waters are calm but if you are one who wants to walk for miles on the beach this resort is not for you. Lots of hill walking to keep you in shape but there are great little shuttles you can hitch a ride on if you prefer. Best smoothies in the world at the spa pool. To lie at that adult only pool every morning looking out at the ocean and mountains while enjoying a papaya/mango smoothie and listening to nothing but calming music and ocean breezes was what I am hoping heaven to be.

Hilton Curacao: GREAT VACATION

Although the property was dated, it had everything we enjoy about a vacation property, which includes quiet areas, activities, natural features (snorkling right off the beach couldn't have been better). All areas were well cared for, the staff was friendly and helpful, the variety of food was excellent. The different "restaraunts" that popped up around the property throughout the week were a pleasant surprise.
