Papagayo Services & Facilities
Papagayo is a very unique resort “town” in that it has no town center. Most of the gulf’s all-inclusive resorts offer additional services to account for the area’s few amenities. If you need something, your hotel should either have it or know where to get it.
Cell Phones
Cell phone coverage is spotty in Papagayo – perching on one of the gulf’s many cliffs, visitors are likely to have some signal, but don’t count on it at the beaches. Costa Rica now offers myriad prepaid cell phone services, and these are the best chance for catching signal in this quiet destination.
Internet
Most resorts have high-speed Internet facilities or free WiFi in their lobby and/or hotel rooms.
Banks
Your hotel should have currency exchange services, or you can drive 15 minutes south to Playa del Coco for several banking and ATM options.
Gas Stations
Fill up your tank in Liberia, or just outside of Playa del Coco, the two closest gas stations to Papagayo.
Post Office
Most resorts offer mail service, or you can drive south to Playa del Coco’s post office.
Medical Facilities
A Red Cross is located in nearby Playa del Coco, and there are also three hospitals (one public, two private) located 30 minutes away in Liberia. For minor concerns, pharmacies can provide medical advice and medications.
