Jane’s Insider Tip
One of the questions we hear most often is, “What would you do if this were your own family vacation?”
It’s one of our favorite questions to answer. Every group travels differently, so rather than handing you a generic itinerary, we’ll share the places, experiences, and little details that we genuinely enjoy ourselves and that we think best fit the kind of vacation you’re hoping to have.
Why Peninsula Papagayo Is One of Costa Rica’s Premier Luxury Destinations
Peninsula Papagayo combines world-class resorts, beautiful beaches, championship golf, exceptional dining, and extraordinary outdoor adventures within one private, gated resort community. Because so much is available—and many experiences require advance reservations—our concierge team helps guests prioritize what best fits their interests and travel style.
Personalized Concierge Planning Before You Arrive
The best vacations rarely happen by accident. A little planning before your arrival can make the difference between simply visiting Peninsula Papagayo and truly experiencing everything it has to offer.
Before your trip, we’ll work with you to arrange the details that matter most—from transportation and restaurant reservations to private chefs, spa treatments, golf tee times, fishing charters, childcare, holiday celebrations, and customized excursions. Because many of the Peninsula’s most popular restaurants, experiences, and wellness appointments have limited availability, planning ahead helps ensure you don’t miss the experiences that are most important to you.
Just as valuable, we’ll help you avoid common mistakes. We’ll let you know when a golf cart is worth having, which restaurants are best for your group, what should be reserved well in advance, and where you can be a little more spontaneous. Our goal is simple: to make your vacation feel easy from the moment you begin planning until the day you return home.
Luxury Airport Transportation & Arrival Services
Your vacation should begin the moment you land—not with navigating unfamiliar roads, waiting in rental car lines, or wondering how to get to your villa.
Our concierge team can arrange private airport transportation from Liberia International Airport (LIR), approximately 35 minutes from Peninsula Papagayo. Whether you’re arriving as a couple or coordinating a multi-generational family vacation with several flights, we’ll help ensure everyone arrives comfortably and efficiently.
We can also assist with luxury SUV rentals, golf cart reservations, child safety seats, private charter flights, and helicopter transfers for guests seeking an even more seamless arrival experience.
For many guests, a golf cart quickly becomes one of their favorite parts of the vacation. It’s the easiest way to explore the Peninsula’s beaches, restaurants, beach clubs, and resort amenities, and many families tell us their evening golf cart rides become some of their favorite memories of the trip..
Private Chef Experiences & In-Villa Dining
Some of the most memorable moments of a vacation happen around the dinner table.
Whether you’re celebrating a birthday, gathering with extended family, or simply enjoying a quiet evening together, a private chef allows everyone to relax without worrying about reservations, transportation, or cooking after a day of adventure.
We work with a variety of talented chefs who can prepare everything from casual family breakfasts and poolside lunches to elegant multi-course dinners, cocktail parties, and holiday celebrations. Menus can be customized to accommodate dietary preferences, children’s favorites, or special occasions, and many guests enjoy watching the chefs prepare local Costa Rican specialties while learning about the ingredients and techniques behind each dish.
For families traveling during Thanksgiving, Christmas, or New Year’s, private chef services are especially popular, allowing everyone to celebrate together in the comfort of their villa rather than competing for limited restaurant reservations.
Jane’s Insider Tip
We recommend guests schedule a private chef for their first evening. After a day of travel, it’s wonderful to arrive at your villa, unpack, and enjoy an exceptional meal without leaving the property or worrying about restaurant reservations.
Exclusive Beach Clubs, Dining & Resort Access
One of the unique advantages of staying with Papagayo Luxury is enjoying access to many of the Peninsula’s most desirable amenities.
For many guests, that begins with Prieta Beach Club. With multiple pools, oceanfront dining, a fitness center, spa services, and one of the most beautiful beaches within the resort, it’s often where families spend an entire day relaxing together. Children can alternate between the pool and the beach while adults enjoy lunch overlooking the Pacific or unwind with a massage just steps from the water.
Beyond Prieta Beach Club, we’ll help you make the most of the Peninsula’s exceptional dining scene. Whether you’d like sunset cocktails at the Four Seasons, an unforgettable dinner at Nekajui, a relaxed lunch at the marina, or reservations at one of the area’s newest restaurants, we’ll recommend the experiences that best fit your group and handle the details whenever possible.
Because many of the Peninsula’s most popular restaurants and special events have limited seating, we recommend making reservations well before your arrival—particularly during holidays and peak travel seasons.
Family Adventures & Outdoor Experiences in Peninsula Papagayo
One of the things that makes Peninsula Papagayo so special is the variety of experiences available within a relatively small area. It’s entirely possible for one family member to spend the morning golfing, another relaxing at the spa, the kids exploring Papagayo Park, and everyone coming together that evening for dinner overlooking the Pacific.
Whether you’re traveling with young children, teenagers, grandparents, or a group of friends, we’ll help recommend activities that match your interests, energy level, and travel style. Popular experiences include private yacht charters, snorkeling, paddleboarding, sport fishing, ziplining, surfing, hiking, horseback riding, ATV tours, wildlife excursions, and family time at Papagayo Park.
Some guests prefer to fill every day with adventure, while others choose just one or two signature experiences and leave plenty of time to enjoy their villa. Either approach can make for an unforgettable vacation—we’ll help you find the right balance.
Private Boat Charters & Hidden Beaches
One of the best ways to experience Peninsula Papagayo is from the water.
A private boat charter opens the door to secluded beaches, quiet snorkeling coves, dramatic cliffs, and stretches of coastline that simply can’t be reached by road. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or looking for a relaxed day on the water, we’ll help you choose the charter that’s right for your group.
One of our favorite destinations is Playa Huevos, a beautiful cove known for its calm water, excellent snorkeling, paddleboarding, and sea caves that can sometimes be explored at low tide. Even after years of visiting Peninsula Papagayo, it’s still one of the places we recommend most often because it offers the perfect combination of adventure, relaxation, and natural beauty.
Our concierge team can arrange a variety of experiences, including:
- Private yacht charters
- Catamaran cruises
- Sunset cruises
- Snorkeling excursions
- Paddleboarding
- Beach picnics
- Fishing combinations
- Customized itineraries
Whether you’re hoping to spend the afternoon swimming in turquoise water or simply relaxing with family while cruising the coastline, we’ll help create a day that’s tailored to your interests.
Jane’s Insider Tip
If you’re deciding between a full-day fishing charter and a full-day boat excursion, many families prefer the private boat charter. It offers something for everyone—swimming, snorkeling, paddleboarding, beach time, wildlife, and spectacular scenery—making it one of the most popular experiences we arrange.
Sport Fishing in Guanacaste
Costa Rica has earned an international reputation as one of the world’s premier sport fishing destinations, and Marina Papagayo provides easy access to both offshore and inshore waters.
Whether you’re an experienced angler chasing sailfish or introducing children to fishing for the first time, we can help arrange a trip that matches your experience level and interests. Depending on the season, anglers may target sailfish, mahi-mahi, tuna, roosterfish, snapper, and other local species.
Half-day and full-day charters are available, and we’ll help you choose the captain, boat, and style of fishing that’s best suited to your group.
Wildlife & Nature Experiences
One of the things guests remember most about Peninsula Papagayo isn’t always the luxury—it’s the wildlife.
Because the Peninsula is surrounded by protected tropical dry forest, it’s common to see monkeys swinging through the trees, colorful tropical birds, coatis wandering the roads, iguanas basking in the sun, deer grazing near the fairways, and marine life along the shoreline.
One of our family’s favorite traditions is an evening golf cart ride just before sunset. As the temperatures cool and the resort begins to quiet down, wildlife often becomes more active, turning a simple drive into an unforgettable adventure. It’s not unusual to spot monkeys, coatis, deer, tropical birds, and, if you’re especially lucky, one of the local foxes that occasionally appear around the Peninsula.
These unexpected moments often become the stories guests share long after they return home.
Jane’s Insider Tip
Take one evening golf cart ride without a destination. Just drive slowly through the Peninsula around sunset. You never know what wildlife you’ll encounter.
Wellness & Spa Experiences in Costa Rica
For many guests, the perfect vacation is simply an opportunity to slow down.
Whether that means enjoying an in-villa massage overlooking the Pacific, beginning the day with a private yoga session, or spending an afternoon at one of the Peninsula’s exceptional spas, we’ll help create a relaxing experience tailored to your preferences.
Our concierge team can arrange:
- In-villa massages
- Facials and body treatments
- Private yoga sessions
- Personal training
- Wellness experiences
- Spa appointments
- Meditation and sound healing
Many guests enjoy combining a morning adventure with an afternoon of relaxation, creating the perfect balance between exploring Costa Rica and simply enjoying time together.
Golf, Tennis & Pickleball at Peninsula Papagayo
Peninsula Papagayo offers exceptional opportunities for golfers and active travelers alike.
The Ocean Course is widely considered one of the most scenic golf courses in Central America, with dramatic ocean views, memorable cliffside holes, and beautifully maintained fairways that wind through the tropical landscape.
Beyond golf, guests can enjoy tennis and pickleball, whether they’re looking for a casual match, professional instruction, or organized clinics during their stay.
Our concierge team can assist with:
- Golf tee times
- Club rentals
- Lessons
- Tennis reservations
- Pickleball reservations
- Equipment rentals
- Transportation
Whether you’re an avid golfer or simply looking to enjoy a few active mornings during your vacation, we’ll help coordinate the details so you can spend more time enjoying the experience.
Every Vacation Looks a Little Different
No two groups experience Peninsula Papagayo in quite the same way, and that’s exactly how it should be.
Some guests arrive with a detailed wish list—golf tee times, fishing charters, private chefs, and spa appointments all carefully planned before they leave home. Others prefer to keep their schedule flexible, deciding each day whether they’re in the mood for adventure or simply another afternoon by the pool.
Our role isn’t to create the same itinerary for everyone. It’s to help you create the vacation that’s right for your family, your friends, and your travel style.
Whether you’re celebrating a milestone birthday, bringing three generations together, planning a couples’ getaway, or simply escaping for a week of sunshine, we’ll help you make the most of your time in Peninsula Papagayo.
Imagine Your Week at Peninsula Papagayo
Every vacation is unique, but here’s an example of how many guests choose to spend a week with us.
Arrival Day
After landing at Liberia International Airport, your private driver meets you for the short drive to Peninsula Papagayo. Your groceries have already been stocked, your golf cart is waiting, and after settling into your villa, you enjoy dinner prepared by a private chef while watching the sunset over the Pacific.
Day Two
Spend the day at Prieta Beach Club, where adults relax by the pool while children alternate between the beach, paddleboards, and water activities. Return to the villa for a quiet evening together.
Day Three
Board a private boat to explore secluded beaches, snorkel in calm bays, paddleboard in crystal-clear water, and visit Playa Huevos—one of our favorite hidden gems along the coastline.
Day Four
Some members of your group head to the Ocean Course for golf, while others enjoy a spa treatment, explore Papagayo Park, or simply relax beside the pool before meeting for dinner at one of the Peninsula’s exceptional restaurants.
Day Five
Choose a fishing charter, ziplining adventure, hiking excursion, or simply another leisurely day enjoying your villa. Every itinerary is different, and that’s part of the beauty of staying here.
Departure Day
After one final breakfast overlooking the ocean, your private transportation returns you to Liberia Airport with memories that will stay with you long after you’ve returned home.
Our Favorite Experiences in Peninsula Papagayo
After more than 15 years as homeowners within Peninsula Papagayo, we’ve had the opportunity to experience the resort in every season and with family and friends of all ages. While every guest has different interests, there are a handful of experiences we find ourselves recommending again and again—not because they’re the most expensive, but because they’re consistently the experiences guests remember long after they return home.
Spend a Day on the Water
If you’re choosing just one excursion, we’d almost always recommend a private boat charter. Exploring secluded beaches, snorkeling in calm bays, paddleboarding, and visiting Playa Huevos offers a side of Peninsula Papagayo that many visitors never experience from land. It’s the perfect combination of relaxation, adventure, and unforgettable scenery.
Don’t Skip Prieta Beach Club
Many guests arrive expecting to spend most of their time exploring Costa Rica. Instead, they often tell us that one of their favorite days was spent at Prieta Beach Club—enjoying lunch overlooking the ocean, relaxing by the pool, walking along the beach, and simply slowing down together.
Begin with a Private Chef
One of our favorite recommendations is scheduling a private chef for your first evening. After a day of travel, there’s something wonderful about settling into your villa while someone else prepares dinner. It’s a relaxing way to begin your vacation and allows everyone to gather together without worrying about transportation or restaurant reservations.
Take an Evening Golf Cart Ride
Some of the best experiences don’t require reservations at all. As the sun begins to set and the Peninsula quiets down, take a leisurely golf cart ride through the resort. Wildlife often becomes more active during the cooler evening hours, and it’s not unusual to spot monkeys, coatis, deer, tropical birds, or—if you’re especially lucky—one of the local foxes. Those simple moments often become favorite family memories.
Leave Room for the Unexpected
Costa Rica has incredible adventures, but don’t feel like every hour has to be planned. Some of our guests’ favorite memories come from lingering over breakfast on the terrace, watching monkeys in the trees, enjoying another afternoon by the pool, or taking one last sunset walk along the beach. Sometimes the unplanned moments become the most meaningful.
Jane’s Favorite Insider Trip
If I had just one day to introduce someone to Peninsula Papagayo, I’d start with a slow breakfast overlooking the ocean before heading out on a private boat charter to Playa Huevos. After an afternoon of swimming, snorkeling, and exploring sea caves, I’d stop at Prieta Beach Club for sunset before ending the day with a private chef dinner back at the villa. For me, it perfectly captures everything that makes this place so special.
