The food was good. They had different themes everyday so you have to be open minded to try different foods. They're strict on the restaurant you had to book reservation for. They would Not let us in even though there were open tables. The room was great, service was great and the VIP lounge was fantastic! Pay the extra, it's worth it. We played games, had horsdevours and any drink you can dream up with a strong air conditioner (it was scorching outside) . The nightly entertainment was fun. Karaoke and dancing is always a winner. I would definitely return.

My wife and I came from the US for our honeymoon for 7 days and we loved our stay! To be honest, we were worried after reading some of the reviews, but the staff was helpful and prompt, the property was clean, the pools were nice, and the beach was great! They have an awesome on-site booth to purchase excursions which we did multiple of! The only downsides we can only think of were the showers could use some updating! The food is decent; Nothing to write home about but not bad. There is quite a bit of walking, as the property is large, but truly nothing to complain about unless you are elderly or have some health issues. The animals on the property keep to themselves and are so cute! Overall, I’d say if you’re looking for a cheap, fun, good, place to stay and go out and see Costa Rica, this is your spot! If you’re looking for exquisite food, super nice rooms, and premium liquor, I’d go somewhere else:)

Our room and view was lovely. Poolside bar closes at 5:30pm, very disappointing. All-inclusive was more like Restricted-inclusive. Room service was only available until 9:30pm. No available snacks during the day. Dining rooms were only open specific hours.

Occidental Papagayo resort vacation

We had a wonderful time. The staff went above and beyond. The excursions we chose JJ was very helpful with the entire arrangement. The spa massages with the specialists Lorena and Deborah was excellent. We will return and recommend this resort to family and friends. Thank you all.

The property, pool area and ocean were very nice. Tennis/pickleball at an extra charge ridiculous. Sporadic shuttle service up and down hills. Food at buffet offered inexpensive main course options. Salads and deserts were good along with service. No one answers phone at front desk. Rude staff unless they were selling you something. Expensive tours from hotel. Use Viator instead. Remote.

The grounds were beautiful, however that did not make up for the uneven walkways, very limited lighting. Walking around the resort at night was scary at times with the local wildlife making themselves very well known they were present. Transport even know they were called would often not show up. The pools were refreshing, however once in the pool you could see mold along the walls and sharp broken.tiles. Some of the staff were amazing and some of the staff were terrible, rude, argumentative. When we paid for things at the store or at front desk we often heard sorry we dont have change and were often expected to leave the difference as a tip. I believe there needs to be some necessary repairs and well overdue retraining.

Liked the balance of play and relaxation around the property. The staff was very helpful and made us feel very welcome. I would highly recommend it to others. The only thing I would share to others is that the sidewalks and steps can be dangerous, since it is built into a side of a hill. I like the exercise, but other might not. Always wear shoes into the ocean, due to sea urchins, they ruined some people vaca.

This was an incredible trip! It is very quiet, no parties, but incredibly friendly and beautiful. It was absolutely perfect. It is a small resort on a big property so the staff get to know you by name. The food was delicious, the drinks were great and the property was spectacular. Lots of monkeys and iguanas and birds. We recommend this resort to anyone wanting to take in the beautiful Costa Rican culture.

This property overall was ok. For starters we had booked our room months and months in advance and after a long 7 hour drive from the southern part of Costa Rica we arrived to a check in lady stating that we had NO RESERVATION at the property. To top it off she was very rude about it. After about 10 minutes she finally let us in begrudgingly. The second check in person was much more sympathetic and found our reservation. Secondly, after we had got to our room we found that it was relatively dirty with poop stains near the toilet paper roll dispenser and a toilet that was broken and leaking all over the floor. The corners of the room no matter where you looked were dusty and covered in dead bugs and hair from whoever had stayed previously. On the upside, the beach was beautiful and pools were in good condition and the rest of the staff was overall very helpful. The food was decent as well. Hopefully anyone staying here has a better experience than we did so overall I cannot rate this resort as highly as it should’ve been.
