Top Playa Iguanita Hotel Reviews

Secrets Papagayo - Adults Only - All inclusive

8/10 Good

"I was at this resort in 2017 I really enjoyed it reason I decided to come back 2026. One thing I would say is there is no upgrades from the last time I was here which it needs to be but it was still nice."

El Mangroove Papagayo, Autograph Collection

10/10 Excellent

"This hideaway resort was fantastic, its not too far from the airport, the restaurants were great, food was decent, but this is not a cheap hotel and its not all-inclusive either, so be prepared. They have on-property activities and tours available on the hotel to book, so overall a good stay and i did enjoy my time there."
