This property is nothing like what it is described as online. There is only one main resteraunt for breakfast, lunch & dinner and the food was not good at all. The hot dogs looked super old. They they don’t serve food after 10pm which is absurd. Every all inclusive resort i went to I’ve never experienced that. Usually there’s a snack bar that stays open but there snack bar closed at 7. They charged for certain liquors. They served drinks with only paper cups. They had an Italian restaurant and a Japanese restaurant that you could choose to make a reservation from. We chose Japanese but you could only get certain items of the menu, certain things you had to pay for. Every other inclusive resort I’ve traveled to I’ve never encountered that before. Everyone around the property acted as if they didn’t speak English when we were in need of help. Some of the people on the property was nice though. It really was a bad experience all around and i was there for 5 days. An i forgot to mention the A/c leaked the entire time it was on.

The food and facilities was good however the room I booked for our honeymoon was not what we received. I booked a two story suite with a king bed and was given a room just outside of the kids playing section and it had 2 full size beds. That’s not ok for a honeymoon. When asked about the two story suite we were told it wasn’t available due to renovations. This would have been nice to know since that room was one of the main reasons I booked this hotel.

Location was good - walkable to Tamarindo shops and restaurants, clean and nice staff. The only negative was the buffet food got a little boring as there we were only allowed 3 reservations for the 2 restaurants - the Japanese did not give enough food! Our favourite guy was the omelette and egg maker!

This was our 2nd time at the Occidental in Tamarindo. We stayed in a superior room and found it to be spacious and clean. The main dining area is a buffet and they have a variety of options and the staff are friendly. We went during the rainy season, so the resort was not at all crowded and it was relatively quiet, which we loved. Most guests and staff spoke Spanish with some English so communicating was doable. The surf was rough due to the weather, but we were able to walk the beach, enjoy the pool and lay under palm trees for a week while drinking Cuba Libre's, so it was still great! We also enjoyed eating at the onsite Italian and Japanese restaurants and watching the performers at one of the evening shows, which was surprisingly good. We walked to town, about a mile down the road, and did some shopping and talked with people from Italy, Bolivia, Turkey, France and the Philippines. It really is a safe and interesting town, which is why we keep going back. We had a great time and plan to return to the Occidental next year.

Honestly the hotel staff were good, especially Claudio. We didn’t have strong wifi in our room and our tv wasn’t working because of the storm, but they were able to transfer us to another room. The view of the beach is ok. Their gym could be better (lot of broken cables & out of order machines), their drinks were amazing especially the PURA Vidas. What I truly did not like was the food from the buffet. I feel like it could’ve been better, breakfast, lunch and dinner. it was not at all what i expected from an all inclusive. They did have some American options but even that wasn’t too great. I would recommend taking an Uber to Tamarindo central and going to the food trucks. BEST shrimp and cheese empanadas and some AUTHENTIC Costa Rica carribean food. Overall, it was just ok.

Read before booking!!! This property is very dated and dirty. The rooms are from the 60’s. I had lots of bugs and fiddler crabs in my room. The bed sheets were dirty, the curtains, furniture and bathroom all dirty. The cups provided for coffee were dirty. The pool and beach furniture is very old and filthy. The food is lacking and only buffet. The bar in the lobby that is open at 6 is the best. The beach area is not good for swimming lots of rocks. My room smelled like sewage.There are much nicer beaches and hotels. Do more research.

Overall great experience, the main buffet was fantastic. The rooms were kept tidy by their staff, the activites on the resort were fun and engaging. The beach was awesome because it was tucked away from the hustle of the Tamarindo beach. Location was great because youre only a 15min walk from town.

Property was clean and well maintained. The location and beach were wonderful. Everything is there for this to be a great resort but management needs to take steps to get it there. 1. Food-often overcooked with all of the meat being pressed so the juices all escaping during cooking making it very dry. The options at the a la carte Italian were blah and the Tepanyaki was ok but not enough spices used and no show. 2. Drinks-I am convinced after a week that there was no alcohol in the adult drinks. 3 adults of varying size having drinks during the day and none of us ever actually felt any type of buzz. Many times they ran out of basic ingredients and they never had more than one bar open at any time. How does a bar at a tropical resort continually run out of Pina colada and strawberry daiquiri mix. The rums and tequilas while packing no punch whatsoever tasted terrible. 3. Facilities-The resort green area is beautiful. The rooms need finishing touches. The bed lights lacked shades so basic LED bulbs were visible. The sliding door could not be closed completely while locked because of the make shift locking system that was installed. And the bathroom sliding doors had no lock for privacy and the boards making up the door were warped and see through which can make it uncomfortable when sharing a room with teenage kids. Also no drain plug in the sink so several items fell into the drain during the week.

Staff at this hotel were lovely. The property is nice. It wasn't the all-inclusive you'd find in Mexico though if that's what you're expecting - they regularly ran out of different types of drinks (not that that really mattered to us), and the snack bar available all day did not have good food. We didn't really enjoy the Italian restaurant food either. The pool was good, and the beach is beautiful, but it's not a swimming beach as there are rip currents. Otherwise, the food was fine. Overall, this hotel was alright and worked for us for the 4 nights we were there. If you're looking to visit Tamarindo but want a quieter spot and don't want to worry about meals, then it's a good choice.
