Beach, Diving & Adventure at Secrets Papagayo – 5 Nights

Imagine starting your Costa Rica adventure at the stunning Secrets Papagayo, an adults-only paradise perched on the breathtaking Papagayo Peninsula in Guanacaste. Just 20 minutes from Liberia International Airport, you’ll feel worlds away as you step into a lush tropical escape where the beachfront is serene, the gardens are vibrant, and the vibe is pure relaxation and adventure combined.

Here, you’ll enjoy the full Unlimited-Luxury® experience—every meal, every cocktail, every indulgence is yours to savor. Dine in style at gourmet à la carte restaurants (no reservations required), grab late-night bites, or order room service at any hour. Sip top-shelf cocktails poolside, on the beach, or wherever the moment finds you—your glass will never be empty.

Diving in Papagayo
With more than 20 amazing dive sites just 10–20 minutes from shore, every day brings something new. Think massive schools of tropical fish, delicate seahorses, and frogfish hiding in the reefs… and then the big stuff: manta rays, eagle rays, bull sharks, whale sharks, and even migrating humpbacks or pods of dolphins and pilot whales if the timing is right.

Some of our favorites include:

• Monkey Head – iconic volcanic formations both above and below water

• Tiburones (Shark Shallows) – a diver’s thrill with plenty of shark sightings

• Virador (Turning Point) – dramatic underwater terrain and surprises

• Tortuga (Key Largo) – teeming with life and photo opportunities

• Tranquilo – calm, easy diving with beautiful scenery

And the best part? We’ll dive four mornings of 2-tank boat dives, complete with Nitrox tanks included so you can stay down longer and enjoy every moment.

Rainforest Relaxation at Arenal Kioro Suites & Spa – 2 Nights

After the ocean adventures, it’s time to head inland for a completely different kind of magic. At the foot of the legendary Arenal Volcano, you’ll stay at the luxurious Arenal Kioro Suites & Spa—a hidden gem surrounded by 27 acres of rolling rainforest and crystal-clear streams.

Here, you can wander lush trails, discover exotic plant life, and soak in the resort’s private thermal hot springs tucked among tropical gardens. During your stay, you’ll also enjoy exclusive guided adventures:

• A Rainforest Sloth & Frog Tour with Lunch

• Hanging Bridges & Waterfall Hike with tortilla-making OR an adrenaline-filled Whitewater Rafting adventure

After days of exploring, relax in the hot springs under the shadow of Arenal and let the rainforest soundtrack lull you into pure bliss.
